a swear word in Punjabi

reply

pimp of a sister... please explain... whats teri maan di aankh... what does it mean...

reply

after you make a couple of modifications to the phrase "teri maan di aankh" it is like calling his or her mother a whore.

reply

teri maa ki aankh...you know sometimes when you are about to say a swear word, and your mother walks in, and you change the word in the last moment..like what the fuu..ish...like that...it's supposed to be teri maa ki choot..which means your mother's pussy...which is a swear word in hindi...so it become teri maa ki aankh..aankh is eyes..figure the rest out...

"Rang De Basanti" - literally means "Paint it Yellow".

reply

shame shame Desi007! maybe u shud stick to akshay's khiladi flicks! RDB literally means "Paint it SAFFRON" and saffron in the indian flag signifies sacrifice ... which is what the movie is about!

reply

I thought 'kesar' was saffron? Or is that the name for it as a spice, and the colour of saffron is called Basanti? My dad was telling me that the bit at the end, (when they're walking through the field of bright yellow crop), that the yellow of the blooms is the colour Basanti. Clarification, anyone?

reply

There was a plan to make the movie a bilingual and the English version to be called 'Paint it Yellow'.But the plan got shelved.Anyway the yellow blooms shown at the end of the movie are supposed to signify martyrdom and rebirth.Though I am still not sure if Basanti refers to orange[kesar or saffron colour] or yellow,I do know that Basaanti is the colour of sacrifice.I'm confused,actually!

reply

i am not sure as well.i think the above reasons seem valid but there is another point- 'mera rang de basanti chola...' was supposed 2 b Bhagat Singh's fav patriotic song i think. so the reference.

reply

Well it is also "Paint it Yellow". An English version was planned and that was the title given to it. So stop being so foolish and amateurish. wtf man..why are you so pissed. Grow up!
