Lohri is like a big-budget Bollywood masala film. You have fantasy, fiction, song-and-dance sequences and outlandish costumes to go with all of it.
With such a filmy festival in hand, we let our minds wander to find who would be the ideal stars to voice our choicest dialogues. That is, how would popular Bollywood dialogues sound if used in Lohri celebrations.
Trust us, you can also try some of these in your own celebrations and win a few points with your friends.
Because We Need Dhai Kilo ki Mungfali
You can take the Sunny Deol route, if you get the same stuff from every house for Lohri. Just ask, ‘trick or treat?’
Every Pappu and Basanti Must Dance
Beat the chill in the air by dancing around the bonfire. Nothing beats that. Just dance Basanti!
Choose Your Nuts Carefully
If You’re Waiting for Godot
Well guys, Tinder might have failed you, but here’s some hope. Just land at a bonfire celebration, be good and your search for ‘Sundar Mundariye’ might just fetch some results.
Go Big on Gobar
Cow dung cakes are highly sought-after during Lohri to light fires. Now, you can also buy them online. So get going and buy some real shit.
Woods’ Worth
The Lohri items have been bought by the kilos. The colourful costumes all set to take on the night. But what about the wood for the bonfire? Not every wood log is usable for burning. The hunt for the suitable log might take you places. Stay prepared, and if somebody ridicules you, stay ready to mouth this.
We hope you have now learnt a few tricks to add a Bollywood twist to your Lohri evening. Have something more to add to this list? Share your dialogues in the comments below.
Have a lovely Lohri!
