The Most Absurd Scenes

Anything can happen in a Hindi movie. While on one side Bollywood can produce films like Mother India, Do Aakhen Barah Haath, Mughal-E-Azam , Sholay most of our movies are far away from reality. Suspension of disbelief is a mere formality. An amnesiac can regain his memory in a jiffy. All he has to do is 'accidentally' bang his head against a hard object, and voila! Memory restored! And the less said about disguises the better.

Here are some of Bollywood's wackiest scenes

Avinash
Nothing, and I mean nothing can prepare you for this brand of bull. It also happens to be a crowd favourite. Mithun Chakravarthy plays the titular role of a man suffering from a brain tumour in this Umesh Mehra flick.
During one of the dishoom dishoom sequences, a gun is fired at our incredible hero. Defying all science and logic, the bullet passes through his head taking the tumour with it! And the most amazing is that he survives to tell the tale. That's Avinash, literally translated as indestructible, for you!

Giraftaar
Rajnikant takes ishtyle to another level altogether, whether it's spinning sunglasses in his characteristic manner or lighting up a cigarette, the superstar is a riot. Call it what you may, his antics are truly one of a kind.
In Giraftaar, he keeps the villains on hold to light a cigarette, which he tosses in midair and fires with a gun to light it up. He then grabs hold of the other end of the ciggie, takes a puff or two and then proceeds to break the bones of the obliging villains. Ciggie anyone?

Agneepath, Coolie
What's it about heroes, bullets and immortality? No matter how hard or strategically they're hit, nothing fatal happens. Big B, for one, has an exceptionally bullet-proof chest. Whether it's Agneepath or Coolie, the man can survive a succession of golis and yet possess enough strength to man handle every bully in the vicinity.

Dhoom 2
1) How can Hrithik steal such a huge diamond in broad daylight amid tight security?Uh, point taken. But then again who cares?
2) And who can forget the scene where Abhishek Bachchan jumps off a cliff (without a parachute) only to land right on top of the Krrish star, who's on a parachute?
3) In the chase sequence, Mr. A is on the roller skates and our poor heroes can't catch him in spite of travelling on a racer bike and the second one on a helicopter. (And I thought Indian filmmakers have become smart and are now closer to reality)

Gadar-Ek Prem Katha
Sunny is synonymous with wham bam and bashing up ten to 15 guys is a walk in the park for this action hero. But his record of human casualties in Gadar takes absurdity to new heights. Apparently this one man army takes on practically all of Pakistan and its armed forces with a single hand pump and an ear-splitting roar, to come out on top! (Why doesn't the government send him on the border? )

MARD
In this movie starring Amitabh, Amrita Singh, Dara Singh is shown as stopping a plane by a rope which he threw and which was caught in the tail of the plane (Send him to the Olympics)
