“Intha area, antha area, intha edam, antha edam, all arealayum aiya Ghilli da,” is one of Vijay’s famous punch and do we even need to talk about how strong his punch dialogues of the movie are? The scene where Otteri Nari tricks Velu’s dad and escapes after saying, “Ipdi thirumbi apdiye oditan sir,” had us rolling in the aislesWe all found it relatable when Velu said, “Yethu intha kaal ticketuh ara ticketuh laam un friends ah," as it is a brother's second nature to roast his sister and her squad. “Indian economy is the best economy”: This dialogue mirrors every kid who deserves an Oscar for their studying pretense.The scene where Velu’s Mom says, “Nee yen di rail engine ku kari alli potava maari vanthuruka,” explains every sister’s trust issue, thanks to her brother's masterclass pranks.“Eppo nee fraud panni jeichiralam nenachiyo appove nee thothuta,” is one the places in Ghilli, which mainly focuses on the entertainment value, where Velu makes way for Vijay, a responsible actor“Ana ippo Thiruvalluvar enna sollirukaruna..” is a hallmark of U-turns relatable on many levels.“Aadi vaasi adaki vaasiI,” is the best leveller when you have a friend named Aadi who gives you a hard time. “Hi chelloo”: 20 years later, this iconic dialogue is still a part of everyday conversations. Needless to say, this is one of those meme templates that has stood the test of time.
