The biggest flaw in a Bollywood movie is....

Salman Khan's acting in "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" :p

talking about flaws in bollywood movies.. songs would be one of the biggest flaw.

must all song be sung by the main characters and have dance accompanied? songs doesn't flow the plot is really annoying. also main characters playing piano,guitars, where they dont even know abcd of the instrument. that is also ridiculous.

major saab - karna hai? (this wasn't neccessary)

YES! THIS IS THE MAJOR FLAW!His acting in any movie is bad period!


I hate it when in Bollywood films, they have to play the flute, guitar, horn, or any instrument. It's embarrassing, and I always think to myself "Please stop running around infront of gori's pretending to play guitars and lip synching!"

Very embarrassing...

And a lot of times you can't even hear the instrument they're playing! Or in a lot of 60s films, someone will sit down at the piano and they play for a little while, but then they get up and start walking around the room and singing.

I know! These moments are my favourites!

Like Hrithik Roshan and his guitar in Chand Sitare (wot for?) or just using the microphone for no reason at all in Oh My Darling. The actors can't play a piano for money! The fingers don't ever do with the beat! The walking around the room is the greatest though, just getting up and singing about how the skies are matching his lover's kajal and that they should die for each other! Very embarrassing!

SKnath, this isn't a flaw -- Jack is a nickname for John. Why, I dunno, seeing they're the same length to say -- but so it is.

A flaw is usually something that isnt meant to be there, or something said that contradicts the way the plot is supposed to be layed out.
Songs in indian movies are supposed to be there. Songs are not only there to be heard and seen and enjoyed, they also play a role in fooling the audience when a movie is advertised, or in a movie where u think how can they possibly fit a song in the plot, and someone ends up imaginaging the whole song.
The real science behind indian movies if any is in the songs and the way they are presented.

lmao....how bout they get the instruments right first!!!! in so many movies i've seen somebody playin an instrument which in actuality is supposed 2 b a totally different instrument... saxophone-trumpet and any other brass instrument, acoustic guitar-electric guitar (guitars in general) <-- don't they have 2 move their fingers on both hands in order for the guitar to make a proper sound?!?! and don't electric guitars have to be plugged in somewhere??!?!

Jack and a nickname for John ? ??? ... I am pretty sure... even the credits at the back of the DVD cover as well as all the trailers leading up to the film... depicts him as Jack ryan ... Only at that instance, did I hear the senate commission chair address him as John Ryan... By what you are saying I can infer that... all the books Tom Clacny has written abt this person.. it was based on his nick name and not his real name ? ???

Can u explain this paradox ?

Here is a website that backs you statement....

Guys this thread was intended for flaws, but most of us have given some facts abt implausabilities also. It can be summarized as such.. all flaws are imlausabilities but all implausabilities need not be flaws...

What congress and others have presented, represents FLAWS...

do you guys recollect any such FLAWS from movies that you may have seen ?

Biggest flaws of Indian movies.

Heroine:

She always comes in first in her class but yet her life’s ambition is to be a house wife.
If she loses her husband, the inlaws invariably kick her out and the only job she can find is either in construction or prostitution (both of them to feed her starving children).
In college she was able to defend herself but yet if her husband is being beaten up, she stands around or shouts help! Help !
She is also the world’s best cook.
Both her parents love her dearly but yet will not welcome her back to their house if she flees her husband’s house (no matter what abuse she had to take).
Her child always kills the abuser and she takes the blame to take a sabbatical only to emerge years later and accidentally bumps into her son who is a stranger to her.

Hero next
