Amazon Prime’s famous web series ‘Mirzapur’, all about guns, gore and glory has finally returned with a sequel and we can’t keep calm!
Before you start binge-watching season 2, let us take a trip down the memory lane and find out the weird story behind the epic, meme dialogue “Vishuddh Chu*** Ladke Ho Tum”.
Uttered by Akhandanand Tripathi AKA Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi), this dialogue has a separate fanbase! Interestingly, the dialogue was penned by Pankaj himself.
In conversation with Koimoi, the Mirzapur 2 actor revealed the inspiration behind the phrase. It’s like finding purity even in the most nonsense things, opined Tripathi.
“That dialogue was born from my visit to cities like Kolkata. There are certain stores in Kolkata (and many other such cities), when they open and are a huge hit, multiple members from the same family start something similar. So to indicate the quality of those shops, they use terms like ‘Shuddh’, ‘Shuddh Desi Ghee Ka Shuddh Dukaan’, or ‘Asli Desi Ghee Ka Asli Sabse Purana Dukaan’. Just like the term ‘Real’ used against some stores in Delhi,” said Pankaj.
The actor further added, “From there, I got the idea of ‘Vishuddh’ to use in the dialogue. It’s just like finding purity even in the most nonsense things. Hence, ‘Vishuddh Nonsense Ladke Ho Tum’. So, I roam, travel and read a lot of books to connect with what’s working with people and how do they talk. If there’s quality in pure things, there also must be something in the ones which makes no sense.”
Well, that’s quite some story, isn’t it?
Mirzapur 2 is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
