10 Motivating Lines From Sports Films That Taught Us The Real Meaning Of Sportsman Spirit

Bollywood movies are generally typecasted as ‘masala rom-coms’ that follow a set pattern of boring plots, random street dancing and overly-dramatic dialogues (that are usually so bad that you can’t use them for a quick banter like Harvey and Mike do with Hollywood classics).

While the stereotyping is justifiable to some extent, given that it is mostly true, Bollywood has made some progress in the last couple of decades or so by coming up with quality content other than family drama and rom-com, and a majority of these are sports movies.

From ‘Lagaan’ to ‘Dangal’, following is a compilation of some of the finest (and quotable) dialogues from Bollywood sports movies that will provide you with instant motivation. Check ’em out.

1. Because nation comes first

 

2. The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle

 

3. Because nothing worth having comes easy

 

4. One dialogue that summed up the sad state of sports in India

 

5. It isn’t over until it’s over

 

6. When you make a career out of your passion 

 

7. It takes a lot of hard work for a few minutes of glory

 

8. Make them scared of you, instead of getting scared of them

 

9. We need to do this in real life too

 

10. Today’s struggle leads to tomorrow’s success

Pretty cool to strike up a conversation, eh?
