But then there were some which easily made the cut and left us wondering what were the writers smoking when they wrote these dialogues.
Sanjay Dutt versus Imran Khan: a clash of generations, perhaps. But when people walked out of the theatre having watched Kidnap, all they remembered was this 80s power packed long-gone-out-of-fashion dialogue repackaged in 2008.
Sanjay Dutt: Go to hell!
Imran Khan: Hell is right here, Raina.
Who would have imagined that moving away from Yashraj banner would spell hell for the film's director - Sanjay Gadhvi. Another matter, of course.
Madhur Bhandarkar's heroines have always had one thing common: ambition. They don't want to settle for less. And this dialogue from Fashion summed it all:
Question: Tum model banna chahti ho?
Priyanka Chopra: Nahi supermodel.
Subhash Ghai's latest Yuvvraj is full of gems but here are the two that made it to our list.
Katrina Kaif: Who hardcore anti-family man hai.
Hardcore anti-family man ? Now, that's a first and a new addition to our sociology textbooks.
That's not all. Neither the critics, nor the audince could figure what disease Anil Kapoor was suffering from in the film and so the bhola aadmi (innocent man) asks this bhola question to his not-so-bhola-brother.
Salman Khan: Tum bhole ho bhaiyya.
Anil Kapoor: Kyun, bhloe aadmiyoon ki shaadi nahi hoti kya?
The best dialogue delivery of the year is by Urmila Matondkar In Karzz.
Himesh Reshammiya: Bolo Kamini, bolo bolo bolo.
Urmila: Haan haan haan haan, maine hi khoon kiya hai, haan.
