Dialogue Cringe in Indian movies

Too many to list. I am leaving out intentional cringe like comedy, heroines saying stuff to ‘entice’ our heroes. Those are just meant to be. But these are serious dialogues that are supposed to have a point. You’d be surprised how cringey that can get.

Buckle up and grab your insides, we are in for a wild ride.

Rowdy Rathore : ‘don't angry me’

Saala really? Or what? You’ll poke me with your bad grammar?

Varalaru : ‘Aada theriyalai naa, aadi kaatalaam, paada theriyalai naa paadi kaatalam. Aaambalaiyaa nu kettaaa..’ (Had she doubted my singing or dancing, I could have done both. But if her doubt is my manhood, this…)

This is the response our ‘hero’ gives after raping the first heroine… to her mother.

Vinaya Vidhaya Raama - ‘He is the scum of the society, Devil of the democracy’.

Dude, just because it rhymes… never mind. But why did you have to use Prashanth to say this man. Why?

Kick 2 - ‘Sulaaimaan Singh Thaakurrr! Son of GOD!’

Try saying that loud with your hands out. It is supposed to keep away stray dogs.. and pretty much anything else.

Sivakaasi

‘Ungalukku adhu shorts, enaku adhi jattttti’ (This might be shorts to you, we consider this as an under garment)

Dude, all you had to do was read the label or work for minimum wage at an apparel shop. I don’t know dude, don’t you at least have gay friends who can tell you the difference?

Chandramukhi

‘Ravananukku paathu thalaina, ivarukku ore thalaila paathu moolai’ (Raavan had ten heads. This man here has ten brains inside his one head.)

I choked on my popcorn when I heard this.

Yen thimingilam, oru moolaiye ondra kilo irukkum, idhula paathu moolai iruntha thalai alien mandai maari perusa aagidathu? (hard to translate)

Aadhi

‘Hey! Aravakku, amma thodu, addanga narikestha’ (Dont shout. Mother promise, I ll cut your horizontally)

Ummm. No bro. Promise on your dad too if you want us to turn our music down.

Anjaan

‘Nee saaganumnaalum, naan thaan mudivu pannanum. Naan saaganumnaalum naan thaan mudivu pannanum.’

(I decide when both of us die.)

Good that you have good decision making skills. But you shouldn’t have killed the audience with it.

…More to come.
