Om Puri’s ‘Lakshya’ dialogue goes viral after ceasefire violation by Pakistan
Mumbai: A powerful dialogue from the 2004 war film Lakshya, delivered by the late actor Om Puri, has resurfaced and gone viral after Pakistan reportedly violated a ceasefire agreement just hours after it was announced on May 10.
In the film, Om Puri played Subedar Major Pritam Singh, a seasoned army officer who warns Hrithik Roshan's character about the unpredictability of the enemy. The dialogue, penned by Javed Akhtar, struck a chord with audiences: “Mujhe unn logo ka tajurba hai, Pakistani haare to palat ke ek baar phir aata hai… agar jeet jao to fauran laparwah nahi ho jaana. Meri baat yaad rakhna.” (“I have experience with these people. If Pakistan loses, it returns to attack again… if you win, don’t become careless. Remember my words.”)
The line has gained fresh relevance amid escalating tensions after the ceasefire. On the night of May 10, reports of explosions and sirens in Srinagar surfaced, casting doubt on the newly declared peace agreement.
Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) was flooded with clips of the film scene. Users widely shared Om Puri’s line, with comments such as: “Ceasefire is fine but never forget Om Puri’s words.” “He said it way back in 2004… Never trust Pakistan.”
The film, directed by Farhan Akhtar and written by his father Javed Akhtar, starred Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, Amitabh Bachchan, and others.
The ceasefire agreement was announced by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, stating that India and Pakistan had agreed to halt all military operations across land, air, and sea with immediate effect. However, the violation shortly after the announcement has sparked renewed skepticism about its effectiveness.
