9 Namastey London dialogues that feel like a warm hug

1. Namaste. Sir, mera naam hai Arjun Singh. 5000 saal purani sabhyata ki wajah se hum Hindustani sabko aise hi jhuk ke pranam karte hai

In a conversation with an Englishman in London, Akshay Kumar disguised himself as Arjun Singh, after hearing the man belittle India and refer to it as a land of snake charmers. In response, Arjun (Akshay) delivered a heartfelt, two-minute speech in Hindi. Katrina Kaif, known as Jazz, served as the translator for all those who spoke English.

In a powerful and memorable portrayal, Akshay Kumar showcases the stunning beauty, rich culture, outstanding achievements, and indomitable spirit of India in this film.

2. Aisi sabhyata jisme ek Catholic aurat Pradhan mantri ki kursi, ek Sikh ke liye chhod deti hai aur, ek Sikh, pradhan mantri pad ki shapath, ek Muslim rashtrapati se leta hai, uss desh ki baag-dor sambhalne ke liye jisme 80 pratishat log Hindu hai

Additionally, Arjun Singh asserts that his civilization features an instance where a Catholic woman relinquishes her role as Prime Minister in favor of a Sikh, who then swears into office under the presidency of a Muslim, to lead a predominantly Hindu nation (approximately 80%).

In this scene, the character boasts about the political climate of India in the year 2007, highlighting the nation’s commitment to upholding a secular society.

3. Aapki matra bhasha Angreji puri duniya mein sabse zyada hamare hi desh mein ghasi jaati hai. Aur aap ko shayad ye bhi nahi pata hoga ki Angreji ki zyadatar shabd, Sanskrit se liye gaye hai. Sanskrit ka shabd maatra, Angreji mein mother bana, bhratra bana brother, gaamiti bani geometry, aur trikonmiti bani trigonometry

In this scene, Akshay Kumar’s character discusses how the ancient Indian language Sanskrit has influenced many common English words. He provides examples such as “maatra” evolving into “mother,” “bhratra” transforming into “brother,” and “gaamiti” leading to “geometry,” as well as “trikonmiti” becoming “trigonometry.”

4. Duniya mein sabse badi teesri fauj hamara yaha hai, aapke yaha nahi. Phir bhi, main aapke samne jhuk ke aapko pranam karta hoon, kyun ki hum kisi ko apne aap se chhota ya kamzor nahi samajhte. Namaste!

Arjun Singh continues by saying that despite having the largest military force globally, Indians remain humble and respectful towards others. They do not consider themselves superior or inferior to anyone else.

The character concludes his monologue, full of pride, by folding hands and saying ‘Namaste’.

5. Ishq de mere mitra pehchaan ki, mit javay jadoon zid apnan di … asli pyar ka matlab haasil karna nahi hota

“True love isn’t about owning your partner; it goes beyond that.”

6. Jahan pyar hota hai, wahan narazgi nahi … umeed hoti hai

“Akshay Kumar’s character responds by saying that it’s not in his nature to stay angry, even after what Katrina Kaif did to him.”

Amongst the dialogues in Namastey London, this particular one serves as a valuable lesson for every couple who quarrel over trivial matters and eventually part ways.

7. Jhanda chahe kisi bhi desh da ho … par danda Hindustani hona chahiye

As we unwind beneath the star-studded sky of Punjab, I find myself chuckling alongside my buddy, echoing the sentiments Manmohan Malhotra’s friend might have shared: “Ah, Manmohan, it’s just a tad ironic, don’t you think? We fervently desire our daughters to tie the knot with an Indian, yet we’re content as long as they’ve got their sarees fluttering in some foreign land.”

8. Besharami aur imaandari de vich farak kuch nahi haunda hai … farak sirf sunne wale de dil vich haunda hai

In my perspective, I firmly believe that shamelessness and honesty may seem indistinguishable from an external point of view, but the truth lies within the heart of the individual concerned. For me, it’s all about understanding the intentions behind actions rather than simply labeling them as either shameless or honest.

9. Shareer foreign mein pada hai lekin ek angutha gateway of India me de rakha hai. Saaf-suthre London mein rehna chahte ho, Pounds mein paise kamana chahte ho, bachho ko angrezi taleem dena chahte ho lekin damaad…damaad Hindustani hi hona chahiye

In a conversation with his father-in-law, Manmohan Malhotra (portrayed by Rishi Kapoor), Arjun Singh, or Akshay Kumar’s character, highlighted the conflicting personalities of individuals who are Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) living abroad.

At a pivotal moment, Rishi Kapoor’s character urges Arjun to win over Jazz (Katrina), as he believes that if he does, she will prefer him over her British beau.
