Sweet smile, deep eyes, everything about him was iconic in itself… Yes it was. Who will ever believe that the country lost one f the coolest, one of the most talented and unrated actors from its Bollywood industry? Its the birth anniversary of the one and only Irrfan Khan.
The actor, who died in April 2020, would have been 56 today. His charm, versatile acting and unique approach to each one of his roles made him a legend in Indian cinema. The National School of Drama alumni was always one step ahead of others when it came to bringing his characters alive onscreen. A part of his impressive work was delivering nail-biting dialogues and Irrfan Khan was always on point. Whether it was a life lesson from The Lunchbox – “Life is very busy these days. There are too many people, and everyone wants what the other has” – or hard-hitting lines from Paan Singh Tomar, the actor always managed to give us goosebumps with his dialogue delivery skill.
On Irrfan Khan’s 56th birth anniversary, let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of his best dialogues.
D-Day – “Galtiyan bhi rishton ki tarah hoti hai… karni nahi padti, ho jati hai”
We totally agree on this, Irrfan Khan. He nailed the role of a RAW agent in D-Day alongside Rishi Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Huma Qureshi and others. This is one of Irrfan’s all-time favorite dialogues.
Life In A Metro – “Ye sheher humein jitna deta hai, badle mein kahin zyada humse le lete hai”
In this Anurag Basu film which reflected the nuance of a metropolitan city in India, Irrfan Khan aced the role of Monty. He brilliantly portrayed the struggles and the hard choices Monty had to make to survive in an urban city.
Piku – “Death aur s***…. ye do cheeze kisi ko bhi, kahin bhi, kabhi bhi aa sakti hai”
It was a treat for the audience when Irrfan Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone collaborated on Shoojit Sircar’s 2015 film. Irrfan Khan’s epic, as well as heartwarming dialogues, made this family comedy-drama chicken soup for the soul.
