These days the movie names are just so unconventional that one has to actually hunt for the meaning after hearing it for the first time. The title might have a colloquial or a self coined term to make it catchy. With the recent example of 'Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi', where a north Indian Punjabi might be aware of the slang 'Jhand', but moving east or maybe south this word would be in the alien list. We have tried to decode the meaning of 10 Bollywood movies with wacky titles.

‘Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi': ‘Jhand’ is a colloquial term used for something that completely goes wrong.

‘Fugly': Its dictionary meaning is ugly or unattractive and it is an adjective.

‘Fukrey': It’s a Punjabi slang and used for people who are good for nothing and who waste their time loitering.

‘Kai Po Che': It’s a Gujarati term which means I have cut. It is used during kite flying in Gujarat when one kite flyer cuts other flyer’s kite.

.

‘Chitkabrey': This means spotted or speckled.

‘Kochadaiyaan': It means a king with matted hair.

‘Matru ki Bijlee Ka Mandola': While Vishal Bhardwaj named his movie ‘Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola’ because of the three characters, but barring Matru and Bijlee, Mandola means a large tenor or bass mandolin, used in ensembles and folk groups. It’s a noun.

‘Ramaiya Vastavaiya': The Telugu meaning for this is ‘Ramaiya are you coming?’

‘Total Siyapaa': Siyapaa is a punjabi slang which means complete havoc.
