Hyderabadi Urdu gained sudden prominence and recognition in 2006 after the success of the comedy film The Angrez in which the characters use the dialect. The film's success sparked several further Hyderabadi dialect films including: Kal ka Nawab, Hyderabad Nawaabs, Aadab Hyderabad,Gullu Dada, Gullu Dada returns, Berozgaar, Hungama In Dubai.

long before 2006, in the sixteys i.e. 1960- 1965 film star Mehmood had pouparised the hyderabadi slang in Indian fims. also we must not forget that Osmania University had adopted Urdu as the medium of instruction as early as 1923 and it was discontinued after the fall of hyderabad in 1948.

A very famous Guinness record holder drama /stage comedy written in dakhni is Adrak Ke Punjey. Many Urdu poets also write in the Hyderabadi dialect, including Pagal Adilabadi, Khwamakhwa and Nukko Hyderabadi (of Chicago, Illinois).

Famous quotes containing the words popularity and, popularity and/or usage:

    A large part of the popularity and persuasiveness of psychology comes from its being a sublimated spiritualism: a secular, ostensibly scientific way of affirming the primacy of “spirit” over matter.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    The popularity of that baby-faced boy, who possessed not even the elements of a good actor, was a hallucination in the public mind, and a disgrace to our theatrical history.
    Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)

    Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
    Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
    With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
    Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
    The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
