You know, sometimes you get a lot of gold from vintage Bollywood movies. Things that didn’t seem very funny (or loaded with double entendre) back then are hilarious when you watched again. This clip from Rajesh Khanna and Sridevi‘s movie Maqsad is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. The two speak in riddles and give us gems like –
Woh jaata tha, main bulati thi
Woh daalta tha, main roti thi
English translation –
He used to go, I used to call
He’d put it in, I’d cry
(They’re talking about bangles)
Aroda maroda, thook laga ke chhoda
English translation –
Twisted it around, spat on it and made it enter
(They’re talking about a thread which goes into a needle)
Mujhe mera nahi dikhta
Tum apni dekh sakti ho
Mera bhi tum dekh sakti ho
English translation –
I can’t see mine
You can see yours
You can see mine too
(This one makes Sridevi blush)
