SALIM-JAVED, AMITABH & Co. - for making gaali-galoch a normal part of movies:
Before that era, insulting/taunting used to happen with a style. Language was sarcastic, acerbic but not abusive. Especially Raaj Kumar had really witty dialogues that would insult anyone completely yet had no abusive word.
Salim-Javed and brigade of Amitabh,Dharmendra, Shatrughan Sinha made kutte-kameene type language part of everyday speak. They even made heroines mouth these slang. Hema Malini, Neetu Singh, Rekha etc. would all do the gaali routine unflinchingly.
There was a certain culture of respect associated with heroes, heroines and even villains earlier. I mean, there was a line which nobody would cross. Even Indians at that time used to consider it bad to cuss. Salim-Javed made it all okay - rather heroic!
In later years, people like RGV, Anurag Kashyap and Raghu (Roadies) made even maa-behen type gaalis commonspeak. Now men, women, kids all use "phat gayi" type phrases freely. And risque language is peddled as progressive cinema (ala Aamir Khan's Delhi Belly).
No using brains to come up with classy ways of expressing anger or insulting someone. Put maa-behen words or gaalis alluding to private parts of human body, that's dialogue! 🤢
