Major gaffes in Desi movies

Indian movies (of the commercial variety) are full of instances of unbelievable scenes. They defy common sense and encourage a different form of lateral thinking - "Forget ur brain at home" thinking. At first sight, your immediate reaction would be : "What the hell ! There are so many of them ... Desi movies ... and perfect ????"

That is precisely my point. Not everyone can remember everything ... so this is a forum for you to tell the world your favourite gaffe in any Desi movie. Since there are so many such scenes, I would rather you didnt send in things involving dad & son looking ditto, hero being riddled with bullets but still hangs on to win the duel v/s villain, hero catching grenades/bullets like Jonty Rhodes at cover-point and the like ... they shouldn't be the standard sort of gaffes. I am looking for the ispeshul ones !! :)

I will be as unbiased as possible with the entries you send in :). For starters, I can think of two situations right away ...

# Film Situation
1 Amar Akbar Anthony (Hindi) Amitabh, Vinod and Rishi arrive at Jeevan's den to rescue their heartthrobs (Parveen, Shabana & Neetu) in various disguises : a Bishop, a musician and a hakim (quack). They dont want to divulge their identities ... so they sing "Anhonee ko honee .... Amar Akbar Anthony" and thereby virtually tell everyone who they are ... except of course the stupid villains !
2 Arunachalam (Tamil) Rajinikanth plays a dual role in it. He is supposed to be the lost son of a multi-millionaire looking exactly like his father and is supposed to inherit fortune. The gaffe is NOT about father and son looking alike (which Desi movie watchers have accepted as being completely natural) but the fact that a video cassette containing instructions on how to/not to spend the money is in TechniColor ! Even if it is assumed that in the movie, Rajini is at least 25 years old (given that he prances around with Rambha and Soundarya - it is a fair assumption indeed !), COLOUR Video ?? 25 years back ?? His dad couldnt have been in Philips/Sony etc. could he ?! Maybe he was ...
3 Kabhi Na Kabhi (Hindi) There is a scene where Jackie Shroff goes to the airport (we are to assume its the Bombay airport because the film is supposedly set there) to exchange some drug stuff. The cops also arrive there and a chase ensues. Surprise surprise, next scene Jackie Shroff is in Madras (or at least Tamil Nadu) with yellow coloured auto rickshaws.
