He's never the one to back off, at least on screen. Nana Patekar's fiery dialogues, endless monologues, are just the kind of stuff that sends his fans into raptures. Needless to say, his dialogues are his passport.



And his victims on the receiving end? Clueless politicians, flummoxed by the questions and the pearls of wisdom he dishes out without fail around the climax scene.

Now that Section 66A of the IT act is condemned by the Supreme Court of India, we take some time out to remember the man who always put the freedom of expression to good use. Here’s a list of five such scenes where he just nailed it.

Dialogue: Aa gaye meri maut ka tamasha dekhne…

USP: That evil laugh.
