Remembering Utpal Dutt, King of Burlesque

Bengali film industry is best known for the inventiveness and exclusivity they share with their varied audience. Actors are doing well with light entertainment and Utpal Dutt was in fact the maestro of light entertainment. The hilarity and the sharpness he shared with us is ever cherishable. On his 89th birth anniversary we are reminiscing the sweetest memories of the eminent playwright and actor.

Utpal Dutt, the man from Barishal, Bangladesh had been the spokesperson of Marxist ideologies, Brecht and Shakespearean thoughts. Let us cherish some dialogues from his films and laugh a little more on his birth anniversary.

  • Maaf nahin, main tujhe saaf kar doonga (I will not forgive you, I will clean you)
  • National dress ka mazaak nahin udayoge toh broadminded kaise kehe jaoge (If you don't make fun of the national dress then how will you be called broadminded?)
  • Hum saadharan premi nahi ... desh premi hai (I'm not a simple lover, I'm a patriot)
  • Teri tabiyat toh hamesha murghi ki tarah khauff ke ande diya karti hai (You health just like a chicken always gives the eggs of fear)
  • Joh apna naam short karde, woh kaam bhi chota hi karega (One who shortens his name, he will do small work)
  • Jis naujawan ko kaam mein jee lagata dekho ... uss naujawan mein apna dil lagao (The youngster that you see giving his heart to his work ... give your heart to that youngster)
  • Jiske paas mooch nahin ... uske paas mann hi nahin hai (One who does not have a mustache ... does not have a heart)
  • Waqt aane par na dushman ko chhodna chahiye ... na saanp ko dekhkar laathi ko todna chahiye (When the time comes you should neither leave the enemy ... nor should you break the stick on seeing a snake)
  • Tumhari shaadi usse nahin hogi jise tum prem karti ho ... tumhari shaadi usse hogi jise main prem karta hoon (You will not get married to the person you love ... you will get married to the person I love)
  • Aap police officer nahin ... foolish officer (You are not a police officer ... foolish officer)
