Nana Pateka’s best dialogues to watch in films on OTT platforms

1.     Krantiveer (1994)

One of the biggest hits of that era was Krantiveer, which starred Nana Patekar and Dimple Kapadia in the lead roles. The journey of a young man who is crushed by the death of his parents is the main focus of the film. He lands in a town run by mafias and corrupt politicians with no purpose in life.

This dialogue is definitely memorable of the actor, “Aa gaye meri maut ka tamasha dekhne. Ab mujhe latka denge, zubaan aise bahar ayegi, ankhen bahar ayegi, thodi der latakta rahunga. Fir ye mera bhai mujhe niche utarega, fir aap charcha karte ghar chale jaoge, khana khaoge so jaoge.”

2. Welcome (2007)

·        OTT Platform: Amazon Prime Video and JioHotstar

“Control Uday control”, “Bhagwan ka diya sab kuch hai, daulat hai, shohrat hai, izzat hai,” are among the iconic dialogues, which still have a separate fan base.

Starring Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, and Paresh Rawal with Nana Patekar, Welcome is an ideal example of a classic comedy drama. Each and every dialogue of the film has a cult following and is hugely popular with social media memes.

3. Tirangaa (1993)

·        OTT Platform: Zee 5 and Amazon Prime Video

This is also one of the unforgettable Nana Patekar’s famous dialogue “Pandra sau ki naukri karne wala, ek din tujhe dedh sau ka kafan pehnayega.”

4. Parinda (1989)

Nana Patekar’s “Dhanda Kishan, dhande mein koi kissi ka bhai nahi hota” dialogue from the film gained immense popularity. Directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the crime drama also stars Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, and Madhuri Dixit in lead roles.
