The Hindi Movie Hero had just succeeded in beating up an entire village with his bare hands. But alas, his victory was to be short lived. Just as he was about to grab the bearded, sunglass and white suit wearing, cane carrying bad guy, and ask where he was hiding the bomb, he heard a loud and extremely annoying hubbub from the far end of the village. His worst fears were confirmed. It was his mother. She was running toward the only group of thugs who where still standing, yelling, imploring not to hurt her son, who just happened to be in control of the situation.

“Oh no, not again,” he thought.

But oh yes it was. Predictably, the thugs captured the wailing woman, saree and all, and threatened the Hero into submission. Thus the Indian Movie Murphy’s Law was proven yet again: just as the hero is about to make things go right, his mother / mother-in-law / wife / girlfriend will run into the scene and make things go horribly wrong.
