[palacerani]

Kaal - time, season, period, era, epoch. It also stands for fate, calamity, famine, death, an epithet of Yama (the God of death).
Fanaa - Ruin, destruction, annihilation, not necessarily in love. (i don't know why they put the H at the end of the word. It shouldn't be there. It's written as फ़ना
Kasak - pain, ache (usually associated with love)
Mast/Masti - fun, also drunk and intoxicated.
Pardes - foreign land as opposed to Swades which means motherland.
Andaz - manner, method, style. Andaaza - rough estimate

[insaniaity]

palacerani - fanaah is written with a H on the end because that's how it's spelled in Urdu/Persian.

Thanx Sania. I wonder why they spell it without the H in Devanagari. I also went to an urdu dictionary site and they write it as Fanaa in English. If it's spelled with an H in urdu why don't they write it in English too with an H? Very strange.

Well a lot of words have the "h" at the end that aren't transliterated as such, no? Some examples I can think of: ye, chehra, khana, all end in the letter ہ

I dunno about Urdu but not in Hindi. In Hindi they are written as   चहरा, खाना.

Are there people who actually pronounce these "h"? I mean at the end of words that are in your list.

But Englisdh transliteraion of BW film titles seems entirely whimsical and inconsistent, na? As a learner, I always wait for the hindi title frame to come up to make sure of what I should be calling the movie.

[rooney]

kaal? I thought Kaal meant black..thats what we say in Punjabi/Hindi too..i guess theyres double meanings then

Well shukiriyah is spelled with an h at the end in uruduu but aacording to Platts Dictionary fanaa is NOT spelled with an h, but with an alif at the end.  فنا

Can somebody translate Patthar aur Payal for me? I only understand the 'aur' part.

Patthar means stone and paayal means anklet.

[bollyking]

Could anyone please tell me what these titles mean? Thank you!

Gul Hui Jati Hai
Teri Yaadein Aati Hain
Are Ho Gaye Hum Aap Ke
Dil Le Gayee (punjabi)
Mardey Seetiyan (punjabi)
Gabru Tere (punjabi)
Hon Tha Main Nachna
Dumma Dum Mast Ka Landar
Gash Khaka
Was Wey Dhola

[Ashish]

I think there is separate thread for movie title translations....

Teri Yaadein Aati Hain - your memories haunt me
Are Ho Gaye Hum Aap Ke - oh I have become your's
Dil Le Gayee (punjabi) - [s/he] has taken [my] heart
Dumma Dum Mast KaLandar - happy go lucky
Gash Khaka - faint

[bollyking]

ashish you rock!

[sanna]

I thought Kaal meant yesterday and tommorow.. But maybe that's Kal?

[Ashish]

You are right. Kal is yesterday & tomorrow (depending on the context), Kaal is time or death.

I thought Kaal meant yesterday and tommorow.. But maybe that's Kal?

[alexaha]

maybe this has been explained before, I'll ask anyway: Lage Raho Munnabhai

[madcap]

maybe this has been explained before, I'll ask anyway: Lage Raho Munnabhai

yeah it effectively means "Keep at it Munna Bhai" or "Don't give up Munna Bhai". in the film it was translated as "Never Say Die Munna Bhai".

Thanks. Would it be too much to ask if you told me the literal translation? Raho must be the the same form as, say, bolo, kaho...right? and Lage?  Despite one year of Hindi night classes I have to admit I don't get it  .
