Filmmaker Aanand L Rai and his production house Colour Yellow have been the brains behind some widely loved, memorable Hindi movies. And while the filmmaker's storytelling has found a wide audience, the dialogues from his films have gone on to become iconic. Aanand L Rai make movies that take us back to rooted and simple times, where authenticity and relatability come together in a heady mix, further accentuated by dialogs that stay with audiences long after the end credits have rolled, often reflecting a raw, unfiltered quality that cuts straight through to film-loving audiences. Whether it's Tanu's ROFL one-liners in Kanpuriya dialect, or the passionate 'seeti-maaro' one-liners from Kundan in Raanjhanaa, here are 5 films from the Aanand L Rai universe, whose dialogues are evergreen.

1/5

Raanjhanaa One of the most iconic dialogues in Hindi cinema was delivered by Dhanush, aka Kundan in Ranjhaanaa. An injured Kundan, reflecting his life and his last moments, muses, "Par saala ab uthe kaun, Kaun phir se mehnat kare dil lagane ko, dil tudwane ko? He then proceeds to say, "ab saala mood nahi." We all felt you, Kundan!

2/5

Tanu Weds Manu In the climax scene of Tanu Weds Manu, Raja (Jimmy Shergill) who crashes the former's wedding with the intention to take away his dulhaniya, has a change of heart and he delivers this epic, heart-broken lover line, "Agar yeh itne bhale insaan naa hote, aap inke pyaar mein imaandar na hoti, hum thode se beimaan naa hote, aur aaj somvaar na hota, bholenath ki kasam, goli maar dete inko." Waah waah!

3/5

Tanu Weds Manu Returns Tanu (Kangana Ranaut) faces Manu (R Madhavan) at his wedding festiivites and questions him, "Kya Sharma ji, hum thode bewafa kya huye, aap toh baddchallan ho gaye?" She then comes face to face with Kusum and goes on to ridicule the pair and says, "Reebok nahi, toh Reebuk hi sahi?" We mean, Tanu and her one-liners will always remain epic.

4/5

Atrangi Re Sara Ali Khan aka Rinku, who suffers from Schizophrenia, asks her husband Vishu (Dhanush), "Pure Bharat mein ek baar ek ladki ko dono mill jayenge toh kya aafat aa jayegi?" To this, Dhanush's character retorts, "To yeh ek ladki meri hi kismet me honi thi?" We feel yaa Rinku!

5/5

ZERO Bauua Singh says, "Sitaaron ke khwaab dekhne walon, humne toh chaand ko kareeb se dekha hai." Only and only Shah Rukh Khan could have said this line with his charm & charisma. Aanand L Rai and Colour Yellow's next offering is the Dhanush-Kriti Sanon starrer ‘Tere Ishk Mein’. The movie is making news for all the right reasons, specially for the dialogues in the teasers. Both Kriti and Dhanush's videos contain intense lines that give us a premise of Tere Ishk Mein as an intense, unrequited story of love longing and heart break. We for one, are eagerly waiting!
