The best one-liners in Tamil films

[madhus369]

I am not sure if this topic existed before. I couldnt find it in the list of topics yet.

AFI (American Film Institute) came up with a list of best one-liners in movies. And, as always, it was a myopic vision that restricts itself to movies made in Hollywood. The best onliners were
"Bond, ... James Bond"
"Round up the usual suspects"
"Frankly, my dear. I dont give a damn"
"I'll be back"

If we do the same thing for Tamil movies, which one-liners will make it to the top? For starters, I have the following:
"Pozhaichu Po" - Anbe Sivam
"Neenga nallavara, kettavara?" - Nayagan
"Naan oru thadavai sonna, nooru thadavai sonna maathiri" - Baasha
"Idhu eppadi irukku?" - 16 vayathinile
"Nakkeera, nandraaga ennaip paar. Naan ezhuthiya thamizh paattu kuttramaa?" - Thiruvilayadal
"Naan Aanaiyittaal, adhu nadanthu vittaal" - Enga veettu pillai (even though it comes as part of a song)

[bingleguy]

how bt these ;-)

Are we that starved of onliners in Tamil movies !? :)

[bingleguy]

well .... it doesnt mean that we are short of onliners ... just that it striked the mind first .....

Neenga solrathum sarithaan. There are some comedians who have come up with some very good one-liners as well.

For example, Manorama in 'Thillana Mohanambal':
"Avunga anga aadina enna? Naanum oru Oramaa aadittu pOrEn."

[madhus369]

Overall, I feel that in Tamil movies, we haven't had the wealth of one-liners as in other languages.
Hindi had a ton of those lines, most of them, thanks to Amitabh. While Rajini has his share of one-liners, there are very few that have the impact or cult value of one-liners from English or even, Hindi, for that matter.

Maybe, it is because of rushed screenplays that depend on actual emoting on the screen by the actors, as compared to a good well written script. Even Maniratnam's dialogues are not that great, in spite of having good screenplays.

So, we are stuck with average lines like

"Adichaan paaruyya, mudhal baal-layE sixer" in Mudhalvan, from even the experts like Sujatha.

This is not a knock on Tamil films, but the approach taken in the industry.

"Malai da! Anna Malai!"
"Unmayai Sonnen"- Baasha
"Thagadu Thagadu"- kaaki sattai

" Chellam, I love u da"- gillie
& the foremost

" PERAE KETTA UDANE SCHUMMA ADHIRUTHAELLA"! :-)

[m_23_bayarea]

"Manager, Come here!" :lol:

Sounds simple, but a famous dialogue from a Superhit movie! :D

[madhus369]

"Manager..."

[madhus369]

When I started this thread, I didnt mean to have just 'Punch dialogues' - which are by definition, usually spoken by the hero to define his character.

I am talking about truly great one-liners in movies that could come from anyone in the movie.

For example, Nagesh in Nammavar: "Avalukku thalai valikkum, yaaraavathu oru thalagaani kondu vaangappa" when sitting in front of his dead daughter.
That is a one-liner that can shake people. And it is certainly not a punch dialogue...

Hope that clarifies what I was hoping for...

My favourite one liner:

" Elundhuten...idhu varen" -- from ATTAGASAM wow THALA 8-)

[Kumar]

One classic line that would make the rounds in older Tamil movies was:

"Boy! Cool drinks!"

Anyway, one of my favourite lines is by Cho:

"Switch-a pota, light-u varum. Aanal light-u pota, switch-u varuma?"

it was meant to be a serious dialog. prabu's acting :lol: made it look funny. now, this dialog deserves to be the best one liner from tamil cinema as the most abused in reel/real life.

[madhus369]

How about 'Chandramouli, Mr. Chandramouli.. Enga kooda oru kaapi saapidunga sir..." in Mouna Ragam?

Mani Rathnam is not known for his dialogues, but in this and in Nayagan's 'Neenga nallavara, kettavara?', he redeems himself somewhat. It is good that Mani realised this shortcoming and resorted to having Sujatha write dialogues for his later movies.
