Dahi Vade and Women

An excerpt from the conversation between Pushpa and Urmila(Bindiya Goswmi) from the 1979 Hrishikesh Mukherjee classic GolMaal.

Pushpa: Le Dahi Vade kha le
Urmila: Nahi Mann nahi kar raha
Pushpa: Arre Dahi Vade khane ka Mann nahi kar raha. Agar kisi Ladki ka Dahi Vade khane ka mann nahi karta to do cheeze ho sakti hai,

  • ya to woh dheere dheere ladki se ladka ban rahi hai…
  • ya to usse PREM ho gaya hai

Ek din mujhe bhi Dahi Vade khaane ka mann nahi kiya, teen din baad pata chala ki mujhe Bunty se Prem ho gaya hai 🙂 (and bluntly blushing)
Bol ri! Kya naam hai unka

Urmila:(sharmate hue) Lucky naam hai…continued

Some questions arising from the same,

  1. Is it true? Girls visiting the blog may share there own experiences with Dahi Vade, boys may just share there opinion?
  2. If a person doesn’t it Dahi Vade how can a she become a he, and is the process reversible, maybe a new innovation in the Gender Change operations?
  3. What if a boy rejects to eat Dahi Vade, what are the possible scenarios?
  4. Why Dahi Vade, what if Sambhar Vade was the rejected entity?

That’s enough for now, I am no expert on Woman… Wooooo… Man! issues like Naresh neither am I a philosopher of the rating of the quark. But I want an answer. Maybe if the theory is found to be authentic next year we will have girls throwing/eating away Dahi Vada plates in response to Valentine Divas proposals.

I have my own way of resolving issues and maybe whatever sounds complicated to me is best resolved by relating it to food. My favourite director maybe just gave me an opportunity to do the same.

Do answer the questions, additional practice for the RC section at Billi this year.

p.s.- Golmaal is one of my favourite movies, yesterday night while watching it along with Kapil and the quark, we realised this is the only sequence in the movie which didn’t make sense to us. Rest of the movie we had a great time playing Karaoke with the dialogues and songs in the movie. Error rate of us getting the dialogues wrong was minimal.

Update: In the words of the quark

Regarding dahi-vade it might be post modern dilemma of love, food and women & gender… 🙂

    the implications inherent in ur post r quite frightening. thats why its best not to dissect every dialog of a movie!btw didnt ne1 tell you these kind of comedies would have to be very low budget to work these days?PS 🙂 to Vada with sambar, Dahi without Vada

    hrishi-da’s movies where really grounded and seeped in Indian middle class with there ethos, taboos, fascinations, cotton sarees and typpical middle class upholstery. No doubts in that and an indirect self reference to movie making. e.g. inSapne main dekha ek sapna (song)Amitabh’s shooting sequence( I cant recall other instance of this)Regarding dahi-vade it might be post modern dilemma of love, food and women & gender.Soch soch ke dimag ka dahi mat banao,30A ko kolkata chat pe rukaoaur bade bade vade khaoShabdon pe mat jaoBaat ko samajh jaoYenjai Maadi

    Did you forget the female reference to Sapna i.e. Sapni, jab lata ga rahi thi, main table pe tha, woh mukhde pe thi, main antre pe tha…:), maybe that was again Hrishida exploring a surreal aspect to Gender.Parvati ke Pati aap, aur aap ho philosophy ke baap,dahi-vade, kachori,samose aur aaloo chaap,aaj kolkata chaat house nahi chale to ho jaayega ghor paap 😛

    Movie is awesome, tht was just a hiccup from hrishida, but u dare say tht he does nethng stupid, he is HrishiDa after all…everythng in movie has hidden meanings and thts was i was tryin to find out, he doesnt gte this complex regularly but tht was an excpetion…btw Catcher in the rye is an all time favourite for me bcoz i like thngs whch r said out of the blue, have mainly no sense at all but are very spontaneous types…holden caulfield is one of th best charecters i have ever come acrosskeep visitin, i cant do with tht others options, this blogger thng is crappy, but i dont have th time to move this thng to wordpress now…btw ur active blog’s activity wud be monitored frm now on 🙂

    One of the worst piece of lines but yet it is my favortie.. it doesn’t make any sense at all but whenever I remember this line.. I end up laughig out loudly.. Many times, dialogs does not make sense but they work well… coz those are written to make you laugh and thats what they do.. these kind of dialogs are basically well written PJs.. hahaI bumped on this 2 year old post while I was searching for this dialog on google.. (searched for dahi wada golmaal dialog.. haha)Cheers,Deep
