Mithun da-The legend

I have always been a great fan of 'Mithun da'. In fact a die-hard fan who enjoys even his B-grade movies for all the absurdness it shows. IMO, Some of his top-rated B-grade movies are:
Gunda, Truck driver suraj, Cheetah, Shapath ... And who can forget the lotan kabootar from 'Dalaal (A long list :-) )
Mithun da is a great actor but his dialogue deliveries and dance style was undoubtedly a trademark.
I just remember some of his dialogues :
भीगी हुई cigarette जल नही सकती,
और यह तय है की तेरी मौत की तारीख टल नही सकती।

मैं हूँ तुम जैसे लोगों से नफरत करने वाला,
गरीबों के लिए ज्योति, गुंडों के लिए ज्वाला
तुझे बनाके मौत का एक निवाला,
तेरे सीने में गाड़ दूँगा मैं मौत का भाला,
मिला दूँगा यमराज से तेरे को...साला....

मैं हूँ दो नम्बरी, एक से ज्यादा तीन से कम,
दिखने में बेवडा भागने में घोड़ा,
और मारने में हथोडा...
and this is one of the classics...Bullet hits into dada's leg, he falls down but after a moment he stands up and says:
दुश्मनों की लाशों पर भांगडा करने वाला कभी लंगडा नही हो सकता॥
Deserves some standing ovation and of course some echoes of sitti..

How can i forget one of the greatest 'cult movies' of all time..GUNDA
The movie had all the ingredients to make it an unforgettable movie..Action, drama, Amazing and unforgettable dialogues and ofcourse Mithun da as the 'Angry middle-aged man'.
And you know even IMDB has given this movie its due credit by rating at 8.1. If you really want to know more about this 'classic movie' you need to watch it. I guess every dialogue of this movie is unforgettable.
One of the dialogues of the movie when 'Lambu atta' gang kills 'Bulla's siter'
मुन्नी मेरी बहन मुन्नी, तो तू मर गयी ???
लम्बू ने तुझे लंबा कर दिया? माचिस की तीली को खम्बा कर दिया? [Ek mast sitti to banta hai bhai..]
I was just reading this post of one of the great fans of Mithun da...rightly titled as "Gunda-the legend'
Some really nice posts:
An A of the B-grade
Gunda FAQ
Orkut community

So if Mrigya, Disco dancer, Boxer, Prem pratigya, Shaukeen, Ghulami, Pyaar jhukta nahi, Agneepath, Guru show the real actor in him then the league of movies like Gunda, Jallad, Dalal, Shapath...shows the real entertainer.

कोई शक??
