It may appear a spur-of-the-moment catchphrase in the movie, more in the vein of 'Savari Giri Giri' from 2001's Ravanaprabhu, but Mohanlal has given a philosophical perspective to his 'Po Mone Dinesha' line from 2000's Narasimham. When a fan asked Mohanlal which of his lines he would like to see as a popular catchphrase among the Gen Z in his recent conversation with GDP Podcast, he picked this one from the 2000 film.
Calling it "a beautiful dialogue," the legendary actor said that the line encapsulates a come-what-may attitude towards life. "But it is not a very casual attitude," the actor said. Then, he added that it means, "Whatever comes to me, I'll face it. I am responsible for all the karma. Like, you know, whatever I do, I am responsible. So I take it in a very sporty way. Nee Po Mone Dinesha..."
The line from Narasimham was not only a hit at the time of its release, but it has also been a prominent part of popular culture over the years, even finding its way into non-film content. For example, a clip of former West Indies cricket player and IPL star Chris Gayle saying the line in his 'Universal Boss' swag was all the rage on the internet once. Further, Malayalis sometimes use the line to express their frustration as well.
On the work front, Mohanlal has two releases this summer: Drishyam 3 with director Jeethu Joseph and Patriot with director Mahesh Narayanan and co-stars Mammootty and Kunchacko Boban, among others. He also has multiple other projects in the pipeline, including the long-delayed Ram with Jeethu Joseph and a project with actor-director Anoop Menon.
