Kyon Ki

Maya (Rimi Sen) is dead and is lying in her casket where the cameraman zooms in very close to show her deathly state. However, you can clearly see her eyes moving around. Her eyes aren't still at all. Either she is having after-life jitters or she isn't really dead. Needless to say, her performance was deadly off because of ('Kyon Ki') her flickering eyes.

Kal Ho Naa Ho

Towards the end of the movie, when all three leads are dancing together, you can see that Aman's (Shah Rukh Khan) hair isn't gelled properly. Clearly, this is a very hairy situation for Shah Rukh Khan. Today his hair isn't in shape, but maybe tomorrow his hair will find its way back into its form. 'Kal No Naa Ho'.

Shaadi No.1

One of the stars, Aryan (Sharman Joshi), gets his hair cut off by Bhavana (Ayesha Takia). In the very next scene, Aryan's hair is completely back. How was he able to replace his hair so quickly? Marriage is said to make people lose their hair, but I never heard of 'Hair No. 1' growing back in an hour.

Barsaat

During the love-song 'Yeh jo dil hai', Anna (Bipasha Basu) is shown picking petals off a flower one by one and saying in her sweet voice, "He loves me...he loves me not." Anna gets exceptionally blissful when her words land on "he loves me." But actually, if you look more closely, there is still one petal left on the bloom. Which means it would really end up on "he loves me not." So Anna shouldn't be celebrating because her forecast is that her love-interest Araav (Bobby Deol) doesn't love her. Looks like 'Barsaat' days for Anna.

Kyon Ki

When Anand (Salman Khan) throws his fiancée, Maya (Rimi Sen), into the swimming pool, it is not made clear how deep the pool is. Most swimming pools at clubs tend to not exceed five feet in depth for safety reasons. Although Maya can't swim, she had several options to avoid drowning. First of all, she merely had to stand up to save herself if the water wasn't deeper than her height. According to indianceleb.com, she is 5'5". If the pool was far deeper, then she could start screaming for help. I am sure someone would have heard and rescued her.

Kyon Ki

Anand (Salman Khan) writes "I love you" on the glass pane of his car window such that his girlfriend standing outside the car could read it. To Anand, sitting on the inside of the car, it reads backwards. However, when Karishma Kapoor recreates the scene in order to jog Salman's memory, she writes "I love you" on the car window in such a manner that it reads correctly from the inside of the car and backwards from the outside.
