 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"Jimmy Cliff" (Saif Ali Khan), aka Jeetendra, is a highly westernized Indian man who works in a call center. He falls for Pooja Singh (Kareena Kapoor), and she cons him into stealing money from her boss the gangster Bhaiyyaji (Vicky Kadian) and (Anil Kapoor). But Pooja double-crosses Jimmy and takes off with the money, leaving him to deal with the wrath of Bhaiyyaji, and with Bhaiyyaji's hired goon Bachchan Pandey (Akshay Kumar). After Jimmy, Bachchan and Bhaiyyaji catch up with Pooja, there is a major gun battle with the police, which leads to Jimmy, Pooja, and Bachchan being sent off to recover the money that Pooja has hidden. Jimmy and Pooja hatch a plan to manipulate Bachchan by having Pooja romance the big goon. And then things get complicated...Released a couple of years ahead of the current action movie boom in Bollywood, Tashan had a star-studded cast and was heavily hyped, but flopped on release. It has developed a cult following, and its comparatively sophisticated action scenes (by Bollywood standards) were certainly ahead of their time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Bait the Dog: Bhaiyaaji seems like a somewhat eccentric but funny and likable bad guy with a terrible case of Malaproper. Then we see the flashbacks where he is revealed to have killed Pooja's father, not to mention him killing a hapless victim by smashing his head in with a cricket bat.

 Bilingual Dialogue: Whenever Pooja talks to anyone, her dialogue is in English while the actor speaks Hindi.

 Big, Thin, Short Trio / Two Guys and a Girl: Jimmy, Pooja, and Bachchan show elements of these dynamics when they are all working together. Bachchan is the big one, Jimmy is the short one, and Pooja (played by an actress who dieted and exercised her way to a "size zero" for the role) is the thin one.
