Powerful lines in films have the potential to make the films successful. What makes them powerful?
Should fit the character, the milieu, and sound credible. Even a simple line like Holi kab hai? can sound menacing if the right guy delivers it, of course, like Amjad Khan did in Sholay.
Tumhare paas kya Hai? and the reply, Mere Pass maa hai, is a dialogue from Deewaar worth a million bucks. Kabhi kabhi had a lot of lyrical or poetic dialogues (the hero was a poet), which enhanced the mood and effectiveness of the film.
Raaj Kumar had a lot of lines which were quite effective, like in Pakeezah, he sees Meena kumari's ankles while she is asleep in a train, and leaves her a note saying Aapke paon dekhe, bahut khoobsoorat hain. Inhe zameen par mat rakhiye, maile ho jaayenge...a very romantic message, delivered in a unique way.
Of course, we have a lot of the cliched stuff which catches the fancy of the movie goers, like "Kutte, main tera khoon pee jaoonga" or "Mogambo Khush Hua", or an older one, "Jis school mein tum padhte ho, usme hum headmaster hain" and many more immortal ones.
In a sit-com, dialogue is what drives the tempo. A lot of 70s comedies had brilliant dialogue and good acting. Recently, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai had some good dialogues, delivered well by Ajay Devgan.
Hus beta hus, taqdeer tere kadmon mein hogi, tu muqaddar ka baadshah hoga, is another I remember from Muqaddar Ka Sikandar.

Deewar had lot of famous dialogues.
1. "Agle hafte ek aur coolie hafta dene se inkaar karega chacha"
2. "Issey apni jeb mein rakh le Peter.. Ab yeh taala main tumhaare jeb se chaabi nikaal kar hi kholoonga"
3. "Tumhaare liye ek bohat buri khabar hai Vijay" "Bambai ki saari police mere peeche paDi hui hai, iss se zyaada buri khabar aur kya ho sakti hai"
4. "Pehle main yeh toh jaan loo ki jo mujhe sun raha hai, woh ek bhaai hai ya police" "Jab tak ek bhaai bol raha hai, tab tak ek bhai sun raha hai. Jab ek mujrim bolega, tab ek police officer sunega!"
5. "Maa prashaad samajh ke degi, tum miThaayee samajh ke khaa lena"
6. "Bambai ki baahar bhi bohat se police station hai Ravi. Tum apna tabaadla waha kyun nahin karwaate?"
Some from Zanjeer..
1. "Yehi hai woh ilaakha jahaan log tumhein jaante hai Sher Khan??? Ab na hi wardi hai, na hi kursi.. Aur na hi main duty pe hoon. Ilaakha tumhara hai aur main bilkul akeyla hoon"
2. "Sher Khan kal ka kaam aaj pe nahin chhoDta.. abhi se sab nahd. Milaao haath!!"
From Amar Akbar Anthony..
"Itna tez toh aadmi do-ich baar bhaagta hai. Olympic ka race ho ya police ka case ho. Tum kis liye bhaagta hai man?"
Yes, Don also had some awesome lines. Gyaarah mulkon ki police ko Don ki talash hai, and Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi, namumkin hai.
Yes, And From Agneepath "Hawan Tez hai dinkar Rao, Topi Smabhalo Nahi To udd jayega"
