Now, to understand more about such magical quotes and the impact they have on people, Bored Panda got in touch with Rishaya Palkhivala—a writer and filmmaker—for an interview. We spoke to her about how often people enjoy quoting dialogues from their favorite movies. She said, "Quoting movies goes beyond the enjoyment of the film, in my opinion.
"Quotes that stick are ones that have a deeper connection and evoke a strong emotion, which could be applicable in your own life. Though now that I think about it, my most quoted quote is simply something that is highly usable in conversation, so catchy quotes can also be quite popular," she added.

Quotes from compelling stories can have a powerful impact on the audience, even motivating them to make a change. When we asked our expert about how movies and TV shows help us communicate during a time when we are increasingly polarized, she mentioned how, unfortunately, a lot of films in India at the moment are doing the opposite: intentionally creating division.
"The medium of film is most conducive to communication with the masses. Traditionally, we would all go into a theatre together and watch a film as a collective experience. Laughing and crying together—with unknown people—is an exercise in connection itself. Hopefully, more movies will be made with the intent to evoke feelings of communal harmony and togetherness," Rishaya expressed.

When we asked Rishaya about her favorite quote that she finds herself using over and over, she mentioned one from the Bollywood film Lagaan (2001), "Whatever it is, it's good".
Rishaya noted, "It's a highly quotable quote for me, though I don't think anyone realizes it's a quote! In the movie, when a British woman, Elizabeth, introduces herself to the Indian cricket players, they are unable to pronounce her name, and a guy says this line. I found the scene funny and the line very easy to use in daily life, so it must be my most quoted quote."

We had some fun with Rishaya while concluding the interview, and asked her to use one quote to characterize 2024 and how it went for her. She mentioned a quote from another Bollywood movie, Om Shanti Om:
"Just like the movies, our life also turns out to be alright in the end, a 'Happy Ending'. And if it's not good, it's not the end, friends, there's still a part of the movie left to unfold!"
Personally, even I love this quote, for it definitely sounds like something to keep in mind when our lives turn hopelessly miserable.
