As someone rightly pointed out, whether they make sense or not, the public buys them because the lines literally beat you into submission.
Another Bollywood superstar whose dialoguebaazi usually catches the audience’s fancy is Ajay Devgn. Even his forthcoming film, Prabhu Dheva’s Action Jackson is no exception to this. Two one-liners — ‘It’s my way or skyway’ and ‘Na commitment, na appointment, only punishment’ have become popular.
Other famous dialogues of Ajay
