Hindi - Dhanush - Raanjhanaa Movie

Reason 1 - A staunch Tamilian.

Reason 2 - Can't speak Hindi but can understand completely word by word.

Reason 3 - Hate Dhanush for various reasons.

If you identify yourself with all the 3 reasons mentioned above then, you have to watch " Raanjhanaa ", a Hindi film which was released in 2013. I don't know whether it was a Hit or a Flop but I liked that movie. Climax scene and the voice-over of Dhanush is ultimate. Whenever I feel like, I will watch that snippet on Youtube, again and again only for the dialouges and Dhanush's voice-over.

Raanjhanaa Climax Scene with Dhanush's voice-over

Raanjhanaa dialogues are......Keka :-) :-)

You may agree or not but, I think Dhanush was, is and will be at his best in Love failure movies.

I am from AP but working in Chennai for the past few years. So,I can speak Tamil say 50% but can understand coloquial Tamil 100%. I can recognize Dhanush's voice. Surprising part of " Raanjhanaa " is, Dhanush dubbed in Hindi with his own voice. He simply aced it. He being a staunch Tamilian and hailing from TN where people oppose Hindi by all means, it is a great thing that he perfected the dialect in Hindi. I will give him 100 out of 100 for his Hindi dubbing skills.

When I watch such movies, I consider myself lucky enough to be from AP and know how to Read, Speak and Write in Hindi. If you don't understand Hindi then you can ignore this post and the movie as well.

I missed watching the movie " Atrangi Re " which was also directed by Anand.L.Rai with Akshay Kumar and Dhanush in the lead. Have to find time to watch this movie. Now a new movie " Tere Ishq Mein " is coming soon with the same combination ie Anand.L.Rai and Dhanush. Trailer with Dhanush's voiceover is good. You can watch the trailer using the below link

Tere Ishq Mein trailer with Dhanush's voice-over

“ पिछली बार थो कुंदन था, मान गया, पर इस बार शंकर को कैसे रोकोगे “

To understand the weight of this dialogue, you have to watch " Raanjhanaa'.

Tere Ishq Mein trailer with Kriti Sanon's voice-over

 " तुम्हे मुक्ति मिलजाए, ये ज़रूरी थो नहीं " - This dialogue with Kriti Sanon's voice-over has two meanings.One related to attaining Salvation and the other about getting Mukti as a Person ie as a Life Partner. 

You can listen to the song " Use Kehna " using the below given link

 " Use Kehna, Aaj Mai Na Kahi Ka Raha "

Note :- There are some minor mistakes in Hindi. It is due to the inconsistencies when English is getting translated to Hindi. I think lack of a proper Hindi keyboard is still a lacuna in the computing World.

 “ हैसियत भी आसमान जैसी होनी चाहिए

    ज़मीन कितनी भी महंगी हो

    कोई न कोई खरीद ही लेता है “

 A loose translation of this in English.....

Status should also match the size of the Sky because land, how big it may be, there will be someone who can afford to buy.

 " कुछ रास्ता लिख देगा, कुछ मई लिख दूंगा

   तुम लिखते जाओ मुश्किल, मई मंज़िल लिख दूंगा

   आँखों में समुन्दर, दिलो में आग लिख दूंगा

    तुम तूफ़ान लेके आना, मई चिराग रख दूंगा

    मेरे पर काटके भी  तुमे कोई फ़ायदा नहीं होगा

    मई ज़मीन पर भी बैठा ना, तो आसमान लिख दूंगा "

These are the lines of Munawar Faruqui

Youtube algorithm is damn good. I don't know how, but it identifies what kind of songs you like and plays it randomly (both from the saved Playlist and also out of the saved Palylist) without any break, One song after the other. Usually, I spend the weekends with Youtube songs (Hindi) playing in the background and me going on with my own work on my personal laptop. Both co-exists without any problem. I collect songs with good lyrics and save it to my playlist. But, for the past few days the very Hindi songs that I used to like is now feeling like a torture. To be specific 3rd degree torture. The same lyrics and words are making me feel like.....Why the hell I learned Hindi to this extent.

Even though my mother tongue is Telugu, during my formative years since childhood, I learned both Telugu and Hindi at the same pace. Learning Hindi was not a choice but an obvious thing to me. It will not be an exaggeration, if I say, sometimes I think and respond in Hindi spontaneously.

Now a days, I am after Pakistani songs where it is 70% Hindi and 30% Urdu. I am listening to those Urdu words, finding out their meaning and learning to use those Urdu words in my daily conversation mixing with Hindi. Even though I like it, at the same time I am finding it toxic.

This is what happens when we get involved in something beyond a certain limit. In the movie " Arjun Reddy " there is one dialogue - " Whatever the subject may be, if you go deep into that, only thing that you will be left with is, Zero ".

छोड़ो यार, हिंदी हो या उर्दू साला, दिल पे लगता है.........

To get rid of this, I have to get myself engaged in something even during weekends. Preferably something that keeps me away from the laptop. Will check on that.

 “ अगर किसी चीज को शिद्दत से चाहो तो पूरी कायनात तुम्हे उससे मिलाने में लग जाती है “

Urdu is a beautiful language with many beautiful words. When we listen to such words we will feel we are at Peace. Let's, learn a bit of Urdu too....

शिद्दत                      :-  Passion

कायनात                  :-  Universe/World

 A loose translation of this in English.....

If you wish for something with full passion, then the whole Universe will be at it to get you that.

 " मेरा पानी उतरता देख मेरे किनारे पे घर मत बसा लेना

   मैं समंदर हूँ, लौट कर वापिस आऊंगा "

A loose translation of this in English....

" Seeing my Water receeding, don't build a house on my shore.

  I am the Sea, I will come back "

Got this piece of Shaayari while reading today's Economic Times newspaper. There was an article on Devendra Fadnavis quoting this shayari in Maharashtra Assembly, sometime back. His Party made a strong comeback in the recent 2024 Assembly elections and is going to be sworn as Maharashtra's new CM, today.

 “अगर सब कुछ मिलजायेगा ज़िन्दगी में, तो तमन्ना किसकी करोगे

   कुछ अधूरी ख्वाइशें ही तो ज़िन्दगी जीने का मज़ा देती है “

A loose translation of this in English.....

If we get everything in life, then what we will wish for. It is those unfulfilled wishes that will give us the joy of leading the life.

Well said...  सच ही तो है :-)
