When You See…
Clichés from myth, fantasy and fairy tales: a prophetic star, an evil wazir, the Excalibur, a flying carpet, magic rings – all in 15 minutes

You Must…
Sip on a light beer. Because you need to pace yourself for what’s to come in this Rs 8 crore Indo-Russian box-office bomb

When You See…
Bollywood clichés: a family separated, an evil overlord, loss of yaadasht, maa-type sacrifices, a poor-boy-rich-girl romance, revenge plots

You Must…
Sip on a light beer. For the same reasons.

When You See…
A talisman that turns into an elephant… in sunglasses

You Must…
Down a shot. You’ll never see Jumbo again

When You See…
Bahar-istan costumes. The rich look like they have belly-dancing class

You Must…
Sip sharbat. Sharaab? Tauba tauba.

When You See…
A royal boychild attacked at sea, rescued by a dolphin, who grows up into Amitabh

You Must…
Sip vodka. Neat. Because WTF?

When You See…
That AB is a masked hero Ajooba, in metal armour that must scorch in the heat

You Must…
Chug desi daaru for the desi superhero

When You See…
A lion, a leopard, a python and two elephants saving a pregnant woman from thugs

You Must…
Have Vodka. That’s how they roll in Bahar-istan

When You See…
The villain saying “Shaitan Zindabad!”

You Must…
Drink the nastiest brew in your bar

When You See…
Sonam, the ’90s star and wonder: What happened to her?

You Must…
Sip absinthe. From Switzerland, where she fled after mafia threats

When You See…
Dimple Kapadia, sexy as hell, in kajal and THAT hair

You Must…
Drink something cold, kill the heat

When You See…
This line: Hind mein auraton ko izzat ki nazaron se dekha jaata hai, hawas aur besharmi se nahin

You Must…
Chug some more desi daaru!

When You See…
Bachchan catching arrows with his bare hands

You Must…
Sip beer, you’re drunk already.

When You See…
Rishi crossdressing to get closer to Sonam

You Must…
Drink nothing. You already can’t believe your eyes

When You See…
The boys using a shrinking potion to infiltrate enemy territory, but end up in their girlfriends’ bosoms!

You Must…
Toast with champagne, to our brothers in a happy place

When You See…
A crab monster coming out of the sea to save Ajooba

You Must…
Finish what’s left. Pass out on your flying carpet
