What major movies have the biggest plot holes?

 One of the most stupid films in terms of plot holes is the 1997 Bollywood film Hero no 1 (a fairly enjoyable but utterly illogical movie), a mix of DDLJ and Bawarchi.

So, the heroine tops the college and gets a trip to Europe (which college and University and this in India). The grandfather doesn't allow her. After a lot of persuasion he does allow her to go, but with her Bua (who paid for her expenses. The film showed that out of the three brothers, one is a college lecturer, another a failed Insurance salesman and third a struggling musician, so who exactly paid for her trip).

Now, the girl checks in a private luxury hotel (did University paid for it?) where our hero, the son of a rich man is also staying. The heroine does nothing academic in her whole trip, and we don't know what the trip was about till the end. She ends up romancing the rich hero and the bua facilitates her.

Back in India, there is some misunderstanding among the father of the boy and the grandfather of girl and the proposed alliance is called off. Now our hero plans to win the hearts of the girl's family by pretending to be a cook.

When our heroine decides to pursue further studies she is shut down and sent to her room to cry. Except for the fact that she was shown carrying 3 books with her going to college. When did she get admission for higher studies? Which books are she carrying because she apparently has not taken admission anywhere?

In Bawarchi, there was a reason why the cook knew cooking, mathematics, philosophy, music and dance etc. In Hero no 1 there is no reason and makers gave no reason whatsoever. Nobody even cared to know how their prospective groom looked like so nobody could identify the hero disguised as cook.

He sings with the girl “Main Tujhko bhaga laya hun tere Ghar se tere baap ke dar se” (I have eloped with you away from your home, for the fear of your father) when clearly the girl’s parents died years ago.

Even though the grandfather hated the boy’s father badly he apparently couldn't recognise him when he came in a disguise with a beard (tough competition to Rab ne Bana Di Jodi).

Even though the salesman brother of the family got insurance worth of many lakhs because of boy’s father’s company he didn't care to know why all his clients came from the same company.

Even though the second brother got saved from getting transferred to remote area due to boy's father he never cared to know how and why the education minister recommended him.

Which film do you think has the best plot twist or ending?

 Movies with the best plot twists or endings !!

  • Memories of Murder(2003): In the final scene, the lead detective, played by Song Kang-ho, stares directly into the camera, addressing the unknown serial killer. This scene has become iconic for its direct address to the audience and the lingering sense of unresolved mystery. The film is based on real-life serial murders that occurred in South Korea in the 1980s.
  • OldBoy (2003): One of the disturbing movie climaxes ever made. The ending was traumatic to the audience.
  • Orphan (2009): Actress Isabelle Fuhrman did an astounding job in this. The twist of this film was spine-chilling and made you bite your nails.
  • The Others: I could never guess the twist of this film until the end. It was shown as a horror movie, but turned out to be a massive plot twist waiting towards the end.
  • The Sixth Sense: Another classic with well-written, well-portrayed characters. The movie will make you cry, feel emotional, and question you about the existence of the entire plot.
  • Splice: This movie’s ending was traumatic as well. The entire time, I was so connected with a certain character, and at the end, that character made me hate it.
  • Aparachit: A Tamil language movie where the protagonist suffers from multiple personality disorder. The entire movie is filled with good twists and turns, but the ending left the audience to wonder if there’s more to it. This movie forced me to watch other brilliant master pieces by the writer/director S. Shankar, and I wasn’t disappointed at all.
  • Black Swan: This movie made me uncomfortable as the pressure to stay at the top on Natalie Portman in the film could suffocate the viewer. The ending was not something one could expect.
  • The Visit: This movie garnered the attention of its audience when the plot revealed the twist. It has many plot holes, but at the same time, it kept the viewers restless until the end.
  • Don’t Breathe: This movie has to be in the category, as it truly showcases don’t judge a book by its cover.
  • Predestination: This movie will confuse you, and the ending seems to be more confusing as you will still be connecting the dots.
  • Mirage: Spanish language movie whose ending resonates with the movie Old Boy.
