they don't write 'em like they used to

That last post also served as a reminder of how lean and lifeless dialogues in Bollywood product have become lately. Profundity is forced and the befuddlingly hyper-unreal flourishes of grandiose utterances seem to have boarded the midnight train to extinction. Here are a few samples from some obscure (or relatively obscure) films in the Bollywood box of odds and ends. Consider this a nostalgic paean to garrulous prolix, if you will. {NOTE: (beat) below is screenwriting lingo for a pause}
