Dialogues That Made The Bollywood Films An Epic

Though the story of Bollywood had begun with the first silent film ‘Raja Harishchandra’ (1913) but its dialogue meeting age groups made it a success in Indian cinema. The dialogues of a particular film formed a larger piece of the moving picture viewing experience. Bollywood represents 43% of net box office revenue titled itself the ‘largest film producer in India’. If a script is a backbone, then dialogues are the heart of a movie. During Elizabethan Drama, protagonists were given stronger dialogues than any other characters to justify the play; on the same account, it always goes to them to justify their lead role in movies.

Cinema, of course, is the best medium to highlight the complexities of time travel and the surprises it brings with it, which is why dialogues also represent the age and decades of Indian Society. Through dialogues, one can easily get to know about the epoch. The decades of Bollywood reflect experiments on it in an intense manner. Following Indian independence (1947), the timeline of 1940-1960 is called the “Golden Age” of Indian Cinema by film historians. The all-time best Hindi movies were made during this phase. The “Golden Age” undoubtedly marks the birth of dialogues in Hindi cinema.

In further decades like the 70s, 80s, and 90s, it used to grab the highest prominence in Bollywood’s films. These decades are the decades of loot, robbery and dacoits which reflect the twentieth century “Medieval India.” The plot of ‘loot’ gave birth to ‘Angry young man era’, which many fans still remember. The dialogues which the actors delivered were mind blowing with a witty and intelligent script, fabulous comic timing, and buckets of action, comedy, special effects, science fiction and motivation. The dialogues of that time have every ingredient for a classic popcorn film.

1990-Present is the age of love, romance, and betrayal in Hindi cinema. The dialogues are highly ‘heart touching’ and use to influence many youths of India as well as other nations. Dialogues were written on the theme of love, distinctively ‘college love,’ ‘innate love’ and ‘deceive.’ The actors were mainly involved in love that creates fantasy and leads to the rise of the protagonists. The theme of ‘savior’ to the actresses from the villain creates a great impact on the society and makes them the ‘hero’ with all intentions.
