Once upon a time in the east . . . (taglines)

Ishwar 'Langda' Tyagi

• Bewakoof aur chutiye mein dhaage bhar ka farak hota haiga bhaiya. Dhage ke ingay bewakoof aur ungay, chutiya. Aur jo dhaaga kheeche lo, to kaund haiga bewakoof aur kaund hai chutiya, carod rupiye ka prasan hai bhaiya.

A thin line (or thread) separates the fool from the dumbass. On one end of the line lies the fool and on the other, the dumbass. Upon snapping the line it's a million dollar question as to who's the fool and who's the dumbass, brother.

• Zara dekhein to sahi dulhe raja ke hain. E-Khain!

Let's see the face of the pretty bridegroom now. Well, I'll be damned.

• Tu to bewakoof hai ga? Chutiya to insaan shaadi ke baad hove hai.

Surely you are the fool, right? 'Coz a man becomes an idiot only after his wedding.

• Jo mein juttha to kutte ka jaana. Aur jo main saccha, to teri maa ka khasam, bhenchod.

If I'm a liar, then I'm a bitch's son. And if I'm correct then, your mother's illegitimate lover, you sister fucker

• Teri aur meri kismat to gadhe ke ling se likhi gayi hay.

Your and my destiny has been written with a ass's penis

Omkara 'Omi' Shukla

• Jo agwai ka kaam kare woh hijra bhaisaab. Agar inki betti (beti) humein juttha bol dey to jindagi bhar jaaban say inki jutiyaan chamkayega Omkara

(In reply of being accused of kidnapping Dolly) If I have kidnapped her I am not a man, Sir, rather a transsexual/eunuch. If his daughter says I am liar (implying that and he has kidnapped her) Omkara will polish his shoes with his (Omkara's) tongue for the rest of his life.

• Hamari jaat to khoob pehchani aapne vakeed (vakeel) saab, par apni beti ke dil ki baat nahi jaan sake, kathor.

(The lawyer had taunted him for being a half blooded son from a 'low-caste' woman. In response...Sarcastically) You excellently understood my lineage, Mr. Lawyer, but you couldn't understand your own daughter's wish, you insensitive man.

• Sarat ghoron pe lagaate hain, kathor! Seron pe nahi

Bets should be placed on horses, you cruel idiot! Not on tigers.

• Khaal udhed ke pinjar dhoop mein sukha doongaa

Rip the hide off your body and dry the skeleton in sunlight

• Badi lakdi mat ttha (uttha) Kaptan

Don't try and lift a large load of wood, Kaptan (Captain)

Keshav 'Kesu Firangi' Upadhyay

• Kitnay phone todayga Kaptan?

Others

• Bhaisaab: Jab ghodi ke khoor mein naal tthuke, to mhendki bhi paun tthaa (utthaa) leti hai bhaiyya

While the mare is getting shoed (horseshoed), even the frog (rather the female version of ‘’frog’’) lifts her foot

• Indu: Hansi badi mehangi ho rakhi hai duniya mein

A smile (or smiles) is getting more and more expensive in the world

• Vakeel saab: Jo ladki apne baap ko thug sakti hai, woh kisi aur ki sagi kya hogi

The girl who can steal from (betray) her own father, how can she be trusted by anyone else

Taglines

• (Extended Tagline) Once upon a time in the East . . .

Once upon a time in the east . . .In a world ruled by outlaws, a world that lived by the trigger
There was a single clan that was held together by loyalty
Friendship tied their hearts, adversities strengthened their bonds
But beneath all the merry lay eyes, lurking eyes that shone of envy
Beneath the greed lay a gut, a gut infected with deceit
Beneath the deceit lay a heart, a heart that only knew how to love ....And to kill for the same langda:
