Rules for Bollywood films:
1) A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince
when a woman tries to cleanse his wounds.
2) If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before
long.
3) Nothing is too tight for Madhuri.
4) The hero cannot fall in love with the heroine (vice versa) unless they first
perform a dance number in the rain.
5) Once applied, make-up is permanent, in rain or in any other situation.
6) Village girls who live among cows and sheep have perfect skin and teeth.
7) A large group of goondas can be shooting at the hero, but he will never be
hit, unless of course he is attempting to save the chick.
8) A large group of goondas can be shooting at the hero with machine guns, yet
they will always miss. Every shot the hero takes from his small revolver will
knock down at least ten opponents in a line.
9) If you decide to start dancing in a field, everyone you bump into will know
all the steps, and will be wearing coordinated outfits.
10) It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial
arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around
in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.
11) You can always find a trimurti when you need one. (as in Anjaam)
12) If faced with certain death, do not panic. Merely chant, Ganpati Baba, and
after a few short bolts of lightning, all will be well.
13) A heroine will have time to change outfits several times in one song, however
short.
