Uttkrishtt-2 was literally bowled over by two movies: Deewar and Waqt. These two movies had maximum winners in top 10 list. Deewar took away 3 and Waqt took away 2 honors. Each nomination made it to last list. Interestingly, both Deewar and Waqt were typical formula movie.
Deewar had a straightforward story. Two brothers having same beginning. One studies hard and becomes a cop. One struggles hard and life makes him a criminal. Before he could retract his life, his enemies take on him hard. Good brother kills him and he dies in lap of his mother. Anti-hero reprisal. Waqt, on the other hand, is based on lost and found funda. Due to natural catastrophe, a family dis-unites. Each member survives and in a court case which involves everyone, the reunion takes place. As a cherry on the top of the cake, each son has a girlfriend now. Both movies are remembered of strong star casts and Shashi Kapoor is the common actor. Deewar had Amitabh, Parveen Babi, Neetu Singh, Nirupa Roy and Waqt had Balraj Sahni, Raj Kumar, Sunil Dutt and Rahman.
Coming to Dialogues. Deewar and Waqt had dialogues as a big plus point. Getting script and actors right is a big deal but getting dialogues good enough is really big deal. People might remember the sequences but they hardly remember dialogues word by word. Anyone who has seen Deewar or Waqt cannot forget the memorable dialogues of these two movies.
A person goes to Temple and yells, "Khush to bahut hogey tum...". Similar scenes have been repeated umpteen times but how many such dialogues you remember? How many times you remember someone saying, "Mere paas maa hai?" How many times you have seen a hero challenging a villain in villain's den without screaming and subtly placing a statement, "Chinoy seth.... Jinke..." These dialogues have the X-factor. You remember them. Politicians quote them in election campaigns. Children use profusely in their games. Ads are still made around them... and what not.
