The film’s dialogues and visuals defined Farhan’s aesthetic as a filmmaker.
2. ‘Mujhe Jungli Billiyan Bahut Pasand Hain’ – Don (2006):
In the 2006 adaptation of the classic crime thriller “Don,” Farhan Akhtar, as a director, gave Shah Rukh Khan’s character a fresh makeover. The dialogue, “Mujhe jungli billiyan bahut pasand hain. I like wild cats,” delivered by SRK’s Don, added a new dimension to the character.
3. ‘Compromise kaun nahi karta’ – Rock On!! (2008):
Farhan’s acting debut in “Rock On!!” (2008) also showcased his skills as a dialogue writer. The line “Maine 10 saal pehle ye zindagi chuni thi. Han mujhe compromise karne pade, par compromise kaun nahi karta” became iconic and even turned into a meme. The film explored the theme of compromises in life.
4. ‘Crocodile in a chiffon saree’ – Luck By Chance (2009):
In Zoya Akhtar’s directorial debut “Luck By Chance” (2009), co-written by Farhan Akhtar, a masterstroke was the reference to a character as “a crocodile in a chiffon saree.” This witty dialogue added a touch of humor and sophistication to the film.
