Top 10 Bollywood Hiccups

All Bollywood movies are the same: boy and girl fall in love, something happens that threatens their love, everyone cries, drama, and then it gets resolved and its all happy.

Since its so repetitive, directors probably often fall asleep during planning or shooting and don't realize the stupid mistakes they're making. Not to worry chicken curry, I've spotted and will share with you the top 10 mistakes in Bollywood, that will make directors go:

10. Main Hoon Na- We all know that in songs actors change their outfits pretty fast, but never have I seen it been done as fast as Amrita Rao does in Main Hoon Na. In the song "Tumse Milke Dil Ka", the back of her pants are first shown as white, then the front as pink. So either she changed really fast, or mixed color pants is a style. 

9. Kal Ho Na Ho- In the beginning of the movie, we are introduced to the characters by Preity, the main character, who introduces all the other characters when she's on her morning jog. Considering it says she lives in Jackson Heights, Queens, NY, and that she runs around Manhattan, and through Central Park, she's probably broken a record for longest typical morning run. 

8. 3 Idiots- This is like everyone's favorite movie and no one wants to believe that it has flaws, since much of the portrayal of college life is actually true, though maybe slightly stretched. In addition to the goofs caught by IMDb,  I also noticed that Aamir uses a "Airtel data device" so that Madhavan and the rest of the boys back at school can video chat with Sharman. But this is a part of the 10 year flashback, or around 2000, while Airtel did not exist until 2005 (unless this is some special device Rancho made like the Virus inverter)!

7. Jab Tak Hai Jaan- In this plotless movie with bad acting from everyone, not only does Katrina struggle to speak Hindi, Anushka is also caught in a mistake. She says she's a nationally ranked swimmer when talking to SRK after the song "Jiya Re", but in the first scene, she is shown drowning and being saved by SRK.


6. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai- Isn't everyone's favorite character Ms. Briganza? Well she seems to be somewhat of a magician, especially in the song, "Koi Mil Gaya", when she kicks her shoes off but then dances with them on again 5 seconds later, maybe that's why all the students say, "Ms. Briganza AHA"



5. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge- The director clearly just wanted a joke in this scene, because it just doesn't make sense. SRK and Kajol are in the train, and her suitcase opens, and everything falls out. First of all this, shows that the train isn't actually moving, because her suitcase opens in the opposite direction of movement. After cleaning it all up,and there is nothing under or behind him, out of nowhere, SRK finds her bra. 

4. Chennai Express- Since the movie is a comedy, I guess the director thought mistakes would be okay because they'd be considered as planned jokes. SRK is on a sleeper train the whole time, but exits in her village from the general seating. In addition, they say he gets off at Deepika's village in Tamil Nadu, but in reality the location of the shot is Goa (where SRK had wanted to go in the movie)! 


3. Baghban- Very touching, but slightly over exaggerated, this movie had one obvious mistake. Amitabh and Hema split right after they celebrate Holi, which is generally in March/April, and go to stay with one of their sons for 6 months or till Sept./Oct.. They meet again at this time, when they are ready to switch to another son's house. In between this time, they celebrate both Valentines Day (February 14th) and Karwa Chauth (which we know, from k3g, ddlj, and others, occurs in late Oct.). So clearly, Amitabh just celebrates festivals whenever he feels like.

2. Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham- In the 10 year flashback (1991) before SRK leaves for London, Amitabh celebrates his 50th birthday and sings "Say Shava Shava" and then "Aati Kya Khandala" to his wife. But Ghulam the movie which the original song is from, didn't come out till 1998!


1. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam- The biggest and most obvious mistake in the movie is that they go to look for Salman in Italy, but the location of the shot is actually in Hungary. Speaking of locations of shots, here is another mistake I caught. Aishwarya is shown with a wound on her neck after being shot, but in the hospital, her neck is fine, and only her arm is in a sling. I guess the hospitals in "Italy" are pretty magical!




Lets give the directors a break, maybe these were planned errors that they just wanted us to find (:
