Daawat-e-Ishq

[TITLECARD: "Demanding or accepting dowry is a punishable crime in India since 1961. But even today, at least one woman continues to die every hour because of dowry."]

Tariq: We can all see Sania Habibullah is very beautiful, but beauty alone is not everything. I, too, am beautiful. She's uptight, she's feisty - that's all I know about her. She knows nothing about me, either. To become life partners, we have to go beyond beauty. Let's see if we can tolerate each other for three days.

Tariq: Sania, I never expected that a scrap like me would get a delicacy like you.

Gulrez: What happened is that your Mr. Montu is a fraud. His bio-data said "fluent in English" but he says "bilu" for blue and "flim" for film. He asked me if I watch bilu flim. Tell me, Booji, how do I answer to that if his pronunciation of "blue film" is so wrong? And for education qualification, he wrote "degree from IIM." IIM means...?
Abdul Qadir: Indian Institute of Management.
Gulrez: International Institute of Mahbubnagar.
Gulrez: [to Montu] Mr. Bad-English-bilu-flim-fake-diploma-holder-Montu - you have wasted our time.

Gulrez: We'll use the law. First, we will change our name and appearance and post my photo and bio-data on a matrimonial site. Boys will line up to marry me. We will interview them and choose the most greedy scoundrel. I will marry him in a fake ceremony. The next day we will use 498a and file a dowry harassment case against the groom and his family. To avoid jail-time they will agree to an out-of-court settlement.

Abdul Qadir: If the whole world is feeding off dishonesty, why should we starve by being honest?

Gulrez: As per our customs, boys and girls don't roam around openly before marriage.
Tariq: Then let's meet behind closed doors.
Gulrez: How dare you, Tariq Haider!
Tariq: Joke, madam. Joke.

Tariq: I will marry the one who loves me at least a little bit, if not a whole lot.

Rukmani: Is this a car or a jar? They've come stuffed like pickles to arrange the marriage.

Abdul Qadir: [speaking of a husband for Gulrez] How do I get an Oxford dictionary product for fifteen lakhs?

Tariq: Arm-wrestle with me. Winner pays the bill.
Abdul Qadir: We're leaving. Come on.
Gulrez: [to Tariq] Okay. Let's see what you've got.
Abdul Qadir: No, Sania.
Tariq: It was a joke, madam. You're a very serious number. Was the curry too spicy?
