6. “Chehra wahi chupate hai jinhe apni asliyat se sharam aati hai.”

It was because of General Amarjeet Bakshi (played by Kabir Bedi) that Major Ram was sent on his mission. Since he also knew the story of Ram’s complicated family, he had all the more reason to send him on Project Milaap.

7. “Fasla kitna bhi lamba ho, shuruvat ek kadam se hoti hai.”

I can literally visualize Kabir Singh delivering this dialogue in his powerful voice.

8. “Jab Lucky ko pyar hoga na, toh saare college mein violins bajenge.”

Lucky (played by Zayed Khan) is one fun character in the movie who often gets himself in a problematic situation and ends up being rescued by his half-brother Major Ram. The casanova and the heartthrob of his college believed when he fell in love, there would be violins playing in the college and it did happen.

He was not just Lucky by his name but by fate also otherwise he gets the opportunity to stay in a college despite failing multiple times. But he wasn’t affected by the failure but saw it as an accomplishment and even preached the same to his fellow mates.

10. “Bees saalon ke zakhm, bees dino mein nahi bhare jaate hai.”

While Ram's stepmother and Lucky's mother Madhu Sharma (played by Kirron Kher) was one happy-go-lucky Punjabi woman, she also had a deep pain and sorrow hidden inside her heart and we all felt it when she delivered this iconic Main Hoon Na dialogue.

11. “Main apne dost khud chunti hoon.”

Sanjana (Sanju) Bakshi (played by Amrita Rao) is the daughter of General Amarjeet Bakshi who lives a carefree life and keeps herself detached from her family. But when it comes to Lucky, she can’t keep her emotions to herself. Behind that tomboy full of attitude was a loving woman who wanted to be loved and acknowledged.

12. “Hai hai, taude muscal kitne satong hai ni.”

Two more characters that made the film successful were Hindi teacher Mrs. Sonali Kakkar (played by Bindu) and Principal Yogendra Agarwal (played by Boman Irani). While Agarwal was infamous for spitting at others while conversing with them, madam Kakkar was obsessed with speaking in English and her every attempt made the audience ROFL! She also has a soft spot for Lucky and even lures him with Cadbury milk chocolates if he graduates from college.
