Dangal Celebrates Its 9th Anniversary: Dialogues That Turned A Sporting Drama Into A Cultural Phenomenon

Aamir Khan's Dangal completed nine years of its release today but what still remains fascinating is that the film continues to stand out as one of the most impactful and commercially successful stories ever written in Indian cinema. Although the film was rooted in real life narrative with a mainstream conviction, it connected a rare balance between emotion, entertainment and social commentary. The film enjoyed a tremendous box office success as the film's storyline was driven by themes of ambition, discipline and gender equality.

From Aamir Khan's transformative performance to the breakout stars Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra, every element of the film was designed perfectly. From the wrestling sequences which were performed with sheer authenticity to the songs which perfectly blended with the storyline expressing emotions, the gripping screenplay made the audiences remain on the edge of their seats throughout the film. Yet after all the technical finesse, music and powerful performances, one thing that stood out completely were the sharp rooted and hard hitting dialogues which were not just inspirational but became a rage since the film hit the screens. Here's a list of some powerful dialogues that still remain fresh in the minds of the audience.

"Gold toh gold hota hai... chhora laave ya chhori."

"Mhaari chhoriyan chhoron se kam hain ke?"

"Jeetne ke liye sabse pehle apne aap se jeetna padta hai."

"Coach sirf guide hota hai, asli fight toh khud ladni padti hai."

"Medal laane ke liye sirf taqat nahi, dimaag bhi chahiye."

"Agar aaj tumne himmat haar di, toh kal jeet ka matlab bhi nahi rahega."

Produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Dangal is directed by Nitesh Tiwari starring Aamir Khan, Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra in lead roles. The film released in theatres on December 21, 2016.
