APNA HAATH JAGANNATH


Do you guys remember when Guddu and sweety were having this discussion about his brother in the bathroom, at the door, it was written Apna Haath Jagannath.

Do you guys know what it means superficially and are there any deeper meaning to it adding to the movie?

reply

It means kind of "Own Hand is God".
Its actually a slang used in a funny sense to indicate when people satisfy themselves (using their hand/finger) when they don't have any partner for their physical needs.

(man,thats as mildly as i can put it as its a public forum)

Dhan Te Nan !

Damn, thanks guys. I knew that phrase should mean something. Everyone Started laughing when it popped up in the screen in theater. Hahahahhahaha it is really funny? I have never seen that sign ever in my entire life in india. Is that like popular in certain part of India like Maharashtra?

reply

It may or may not be popular but it was certainly put up there by a very imaginative guy in the building.

Another variation used by us in our circle is quite more filmy:

"Haath Hi Mera Saathi",

if you know what I mean ;) ?

Everyone probably started laughing because of the "apna haath jagannath" sign and then Guddu said "main khud khushi nahi kar raha hoon"
Khud khushi means suicide, but can also mean self pleasure

reply

Wow I never knew it could mean that too! LOL

I remember the Director of SIECUS, an American sex education NGO, appearing on the Today Show, promoting masturbation as a kind of "safe sex". Never caught on, even thought it was the most SENSIBLE thing I'd heard on safe sex in a lifetime.
