Amitabh Bachchan played the desi hero who masquerades as a vigilante hero at night and lazy paan-chewing cop during the day. When Amrish Puri asks Shahenshah about his identity, Amitabh’s answer is crisp, “Rishtey mein toh hum tumhare baap hote hai, naam hai Shahenshah.”

When Amitabh Bachchan returns to the police station and is asked his identity, the kohl-eyed Amitabh Bachchan sprawls on the seat and answers, “Naam: Vijay Dinanath Chavan, baap ka naam…”
There’s something in his attitude that make him give it back in Deewar. Even if he’s offered a bundle of notes, Amitabh “aaj bhi pheke hue paise nahi uthata.”
Another gem from Salim-Javed. A frustrated Amitabh Bachchan turns to the god he scoffed at and asks for the life of his mother, beginning his angry tirade with “Aaj khush toh bahut hoge tum…”
When you have a talk-a-thon with Hema Malini in the front seat, only earplugs can come to your rescue. His sardonic “Tumhara naam kya hai Basanti?” gives a fitting reply to Hema’s breathless commentary in Sholay.
