From Amrish Puri in DDLJ to Tigmanshu Dhulia in 'Gangs Of Wasseypur', these Bollywood dads have become an inseparable part of our lives
Bollywood is all about melodrama, and who else could do it better than family, especially dads? Over the years, the Hindi film industry has seen some fathers surprise us on screen with their melodrama, and thus, become legendary in our eyes.
Remember Tigmanshu Dhulia in 'Gangs of Waseypur' or our favourite Babuji from the 90s, Amrish Puri? Their savage attitude got us talking about them to no end, and these on-screen dads became a part of our lives even before we knew it.
Here's a tribute to such on-screen dads on the occasion of Father's Day:
1. 'Beta Tumse Na Ho Payega' - Tigmanshu Dhulia in 'Gangs of Wasseypur'
)
Tigmanshu Dhulia's 'Tumse Na Ho Payega' is probably the rawest form any father can be. The dialogue was such a huge hit that it became a part of our daily lives every time someone failed us (which again isn't very hard to find considering our expectations).
2. 'Agar isse mere ghar mein rehna hai toh mere hisaab se rehna padega' - Ronit Roy in 'Udaan'
)
The dialogue, "Agar isse mere ghar mein rehna hai, mera kamaaya hua khaana hai pehnana hai to mere hi hisaab se rehna padega," recited by Ronit Roy is 'Udaan', is something every child can relate to. We all are rebels, till the real rebel faces comes to your face, right?
3. 'Main hamesha tumhaare saath hoon' - Farooq Sheikh to Ranbir Kapoor in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'
)
How can a child aspire if the father does not back them up? One of the coolest on-screen dads, Farooq Sheikh made us fall in love with his dialogue, "Jaha tumhara jee chahe jaao, jo jee chahe karo, jis tarah zindagi jeeni hai jiyo, beta ek baat yaad rakhna zindagi mein chahe jo ho jaaye, kuchh bhi, mai humesha tumhare saath hoon," in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'. Just, kaash we all had such a dad.
4. 'Jaa Simran Jaa' - Amrish Puri to Kajol in DDLJ
)
Hands down Amrish Puri was the most legendary father in Bollywood. He played Kajol's father in the iconic DDLJ, and we don't even need to mention how epic his 'Jaa Simran Jaa' dialogue (and the moment) was.
5. Bonus: Ram Kapoor as the frustrated father in 'Mere Dad Ki Maruti'
)
Ram Kapoor once said "Isko dekh ke pata chalta hai ki kuch janwar apne hi bachchon ko kyun kha jaate hai," in 'Mere Dad Ki Maruti'. Every child who has grown up with a savage father (most Indian families) would relate to the situation.
