Khuda Meharbaan to Gadha Pehalwaan

Yesterday I saw movie "Malamaal", some comedy hindi movie. Nothing great about it, but all throughout the movie the script writer had used lot of idioms/proverbs. that made the language very colorful. This blog is inspired from that. Putting down some of them. The first one is from the movie, some others are from my mom, and some from web. Njoy.

(The title is some proverb which I hit upon on web, I really like it :D)

Agar chamkadhar ko ped se ulta latka do
To woh mor nahin ban jata

Abhi bhensh Chara khane gayi hai
Aur tum dahi bechni ki baat kar rahe ho

Sar salamat
To padgi hazaar

Haathi chala jaata hai
Kutte baunkte rehte hai

Aokhli mein sir diya
To musal se kya Dharna

Utne Paav Pasaria,
jitni Chadar hove

Aandhon mein
Kaana Raja,

Das chuhe khake billi
Haj ko challi

bandar kya jaane
Adrak ka swaad,

Dubhte ko tinke ka Sahara

I found this wikipedia page very interesting
