So here are my Top Ten Grossest Deaths in Hindi Cinema:
#10 - SRK and Manisha Koirala in Dil Se
In 3... 2... 1... BOOM!
Who didn't know that she was a terrorist? Well, SRK didn't and that just led him to an untimely death by blowing up in the middle of a field. Actually, it can be considered a warning for all those eve-teasers out there. If you stalk a girl in utter desperation, chances are she might be a suicide bomber with the LeT and bomb your ass till your intestines blow into a million pieces. Just a thought.
#9 - Shantipriya in Om Shanti Om
#9 - Shantipriya in Om Shanti Om
Well, actually it wasn't all that disgusting. I was kinda relieved at first 'cause that way I wouldn't have to sit through her 'ek chutki sindoor' monologue again. But what do ya know? Bitch comes back in a miniskirt and blowing bubble gum.
#8 - Amitabh Bachchan in Sholay
I've actually never seen the whole movie in one go, just bits and pieces of it till I finally managed to edit the movie in my own head and figure out what the hell was happening. Still, Jai was a better actor thatn Veeru and definitely should not have died.
#7 - Random secondary character in Kaal
"Look at me! Do I look like a deranged maneater to you?"
That movie was ridiculous, and even the gory deaths couldn't make it any better. But there was this one cool scene where this minor character (who was just present for comic relief) finds himself beheaded by a glass window that broke apart when a car blew up. So that finally made him stop screaming and I could stare at John Abraham in relative peacefulness. And you know what was the grave mistake the producers committed (besides actually casting Esha Deol)? Renaming Corbett Park as Orbit Park. Seriously, he named it after a brand of chewing gum. No wonder the tigers were pissed.
Why do I even see these movies? Oh, it might be because that's the only movie SET MAX seems to have any rights to air. That and Anaconda - Hindi Mein. But let's not even go there.
#5 - That jolly bhabhi in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun
All was going well and happy in the magical land of Suraj Barjatiya where the unicorns gallop and the rainbows are bright. And then one fine day, when some 96% of the movie was over and the audience was soaking too much fluff-sugar into their bloodstreams, the bhabhi woman slips on some loose carpeting and tumbles down a longass flight of stairs to her early death. Anything more horrifying in a family movie?
#4 - Asin in Ghajini
Stabbed and then knocked on the head with a metal rod. Anyone say 'ouch'?
#3 - SRK in Darr
Sunny Deol (back when we could still understand what he was saying) beat the crap out of SRK and he finally died, all the while over-pronouncing his 'K's.
#2 - Amitabh Bachchan in Black
Alzeimer's is just painful, man. I don't want to talk about that.
#1 - The Untimely Death of Cinematic Dignity in all of Karan Johar's films
Dude makes six movies on families, families, families with adultery, families with heart disease, tiger families and homosexual families, all well-supplied with tear-jerking (eh...) scenes.
Seriously. I grieve.

Your work is really very good. One of the very few comic blogs I've read in a while.
P.S. Amitabh didn't die in Black. Ouch!!
Wow.. thank you :)
Well, I'm assuming he died at some point. Alzeimer's does that to you. And the transition was creepy nonetheless...
