10 dhaasu life lessons from Gangs of Wasseypur

A film that changed the dialogue of violence in Hindi cinema, Gangs of Wasseypur was Anurag Kashyap's Godfather. And like Francis Ford Coppola's epic, GoW left fans with a slew of dialogues that also served as life lessons. On the film's fourth anniversary, it is time to remember those lessons.

1 Yeh Wasseypur hai. Yahan kabutar bhi ek pankh se udta hai aur doosre se apni izzat bachata hai. – Sultan Qureshi (Pankaj Tripathi)

When travelling to a new place, always learn about its culture first. Always!

2 Itna goli maarte ki aapka driver bhi khali khoka bech bechkar raees ban jaata. – Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpayee)

Even in the darkest moments, keep an eye out for opportunities.

3 Na koi kisi ka raqeeb hota hai na koi kisi ka habeeb hota hai ... khuda ki rehmat se ban jaate hain rishtey, jahan jiska naseeb hota hai.

Don't pine for love. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

4 Har yaar wafaadar nahi hota, har patthar chamakdar nahi hota. Na jaane baag mein kitne phool khile hain, har phool khusboodar nahi hota.

If it is too good to be true, it probably isn't.

5 Gareebi todh deti hai joh rishtey khak hote hai ... aur paraye apne hote hain jab paise paas hote hain.

The true test of your loved ones is in adversity. Everybody likes you when you are rich.

6 Kabhi chahne se hum zindagi dete hain aur kabhi bhool se ... lekin maut hamesha hamari khud ki chuk se hoti hai. – Nasir Ahmed (Piyush Mishra)

Your life is your choice, so choose well.

7 Santra ko seb kehne se santra seb thode ho jayega. Santra toh santra hi rahega na. – Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpayee)

Marketing will only work up to a point. It won't hide the flaws of the product.

8 Hum abhi tak jinda hain kyunki hum sanimaa nahi dekhte.... Ee saala Hindustan mein jab tak sanimaa hai, log chutiya bante rahenge. – Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia)

Films are not reality. Neither is life like films. Learn the difference.

9 Aad chahe jitna bada ho jaye, laad ke neeche hi rehta hai. – Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpayee)

A leader never boasts. Boasters do not lead.

10 Hum toh sochte the ki Sanjeev Kumar ke ghar mein hum Bachchan paida hue hain… lekin aankh khuli toh dekha salaa hum toh Shashi Kapoor hain… Bachchan toh koi aur hai. – Faizal Khan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui)

There will always be somebody better than you. Don't worry, Shashi Kapoor didn't do too badly for himself. Neither did Nawazuddin.
