| Main Hoon Na | comment |
A Bollywood film set in modern day India. Starts off with a supersoldier named Ram foiling an assassination attempt on an Indian general by an anti-Pakistan terrorist. Ram's father is killed in the attack, but not before revealing that Ram has a long-lost half-brother named Lakshman who is still in college. The General then tasks Ram with protecting his daughter, who by coincidence attends the same college as Lakshman.So Ram goes back to college, where he discovers that his brother, known to everyone as Lucky, is the Big Man on Campus who regularly leads the rest of the student body in cheerful Crowd Songs. Hilarity Ensues.The resulting three hour Cliché Storm is half-Die Hard, half-High School Musical, rolled into a Bollywood song-and-dance epic. Whether it was intentional or not, comes off as a brilliant parody of multiple Western genres. The sharp-eyed viewer will also note that the plot loosely follows the story of the Ramayan (as is lampshaded by the character names), which occupies a similar place in Asian cultures as the King Arthur stories do in the West. Well worth a hardcore Troper's time.Main Hoon Na is Hindi for "I am here." | |

Hot for Teacher: After fawning over each other at length, Ram and his chemistry teacher, Miss Chandni, are very implied to have done it offscreen. Justified by Ram actually being older than her. | |

LampshadeHanging | |
| Main Hoon Na / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: Ram tells Raghavan that in stories the bad guy always dies at the end, just before escaping by helicopter and Raghavan is blown up by his own grenade. Lucky entering the library for the first time is lampshaded by a particular traditional fanfare used in Bollywood movies to indicate a king entering into battle. | |

| Main Hoon Na / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Ram and Lucky, whose real name is Lakshman, are loyal brothers in the Ramayana. Word of God also adds that the villain's name, Raghavan, was the closest they could get to Ravan, who is the Big Bad of the Ramayana. | |

Bullet Time: In the most memorable example, Ram imitates a move from The Matrix not to dodge bullets, but a teacher's flying spittle. Other teachers lampshade this in the above quote. | |

Rearrange the Song | |
| Main Hoon Na / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: The scoring for this movie is equally trope-overdosed, with suspiciously-familiar sounding music. In particular, one track is uncannily reminiscent of the Mission: Impossible theme, and another is very similar to the Austin Powers theme. | |
