Here are examples of scenes and scripts lacking logic in the movies
While watching the movies, I’ve been zapped by certain baffling, puzzling, brain-busting elements. Here’s sharing some of the brain bogglers:

Chittagong: A British Raj governor asks a young revolutionary to reveal the whereabouts of his guru, Manoj Bajpai. Revolutionary Jr, tortured savagely for days, remains as silent as a tomb. Couldn’t he have said that the guru has taken off for a short trip to Kolkata or something? He would have been set free. A fib would have solved things.

English Vinglish: Housewife Srideviji rushes to New York to help in the wedding preparations of her niece... just a month away. Does she? Help, that is. Noooo way. And her sister and nieces don’t mind either. Perplexing. Script forgot about the shaadi till the last reel, maybe.

Aiyyaa: What on earth is going on at a prestigious School of Art where Rani Mukherjee has lately found a desk job? Her co-worker carries a strange, chimpanzee-shaped water flask... and it’s full of vodka. Neat? Even the school’s dean drinks from the flask regularly. Hic! Aisa bhi hota hai kya?

Raaz 3: Bipasha Basu, last seen and heard of, was embraced by a ghost with very bad skin. Cut! Did they go beyond the embrace? Or did she give him a moisturiser to
get more comfy? Acne 4 coming up, shudder.

Gangs of Wasseypur: A glowering old man strips to his waist and whips his bare back incessantly while a newly-wedded couple makes love audibly. How kinky is that! Or is it?

Student of the Year: Rock guitars are so yuck that tycoon, Ram Kapoor, detests his wannabe-Eric Clapton son to such a degree that he wants the boy to perish from earth. Either tycoon must have been a classical music enthusiast or wasn’t aware that rockstars make heaps of moolah too.

Rowdy Rathore: The entire film, from first frame to last.

Joker: Ditto.

Ek Tha Tiger: Salman Khan and Katrina Khan are hiding out in an international hotel. Have they checked into the same room? If they were, why were we denied a full-on intimate scene? Don’t tell me the secret agents remained strictly Platonic.

Heroine: Saucy Mughda Godse is prevented from flying (on an international flight) because she has fudged her age on her passport. So, she’s dropped from a big- budget film instantly. More to the point, has Ms Mughda been grounded for life? Am worried.

Heroine: A moody Bengali arty film director, Ranvir Sheorey, after long spells of
shooting, walks out of the project. Reason: creative interference by the producers. So,
what about the film shot so far? Producers normally complete the film somehow and
release it. No?

Kya Super Kool Hain Hum: There was this elaborate wedding ceremony – for two pugs, male and female. Hopefully, we won’t have to witness their divorce proceedings in the next installment.

Ishaqzaade: So many rampant killings out there, including that of a mother, the hero,
the heroine. Cases unattended. Police missing? Dozing? Corrupt? You know what I
mean.

Vicky Donor: Ayushmann Khurrana sires 53 children. The end. Or is that the beginning? Guinness Book has to be informed, pronto.

Kahani: Vidya Balan didn’t reveal an iota of remorse for all the innocent people killed because of her, including a kindly, old lady. Not fair. The innocents who had to
lose their lives all because of Vidyaji may return to haunt her as ghosts. Hope Vikram Bhatt and Ram Gopal Varma aren’t reading this. They may get ideas – and that too in 3-D.
