1* {{Anvilicious}}: The otherwise completely silly plot is punctuated by moments of deadly serious political commentary regarding Indo-Pakistani relations, as well as some instances of violence that aren't [[RefugeInAudacity over the top at all]].
2* HarsherInHindsight: Terrorist gunmen shooting up an Indian television studio is less fun to watch in light of the 2008 terrorist attacks on Mumbai. The scene where Raghavan's mooks crowd the school's students into a bomb-rigged gymnasium is also uncomfortably evocative of the 2004 [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beslan_school_hostage_crisis Beslan school hostage crisis]] in Ossetia, which occurred a few months after Main Hoon Na's release.
3* HilariousInHindsight: [[https://hamesha-hogwarts.tumblr.com/post/102679093386/proof-that-main-hoon-na-is-actually-the-harry This tumblr post]] points out that the movie has many similarities with the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' franchise, especially the movies ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'' (and hilariously, the principal is briefly seen reading ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' at one point). The kicker? This movie came out on 2004, several years before ''Deathly Hallows'' was even written!
4* MemeticMutation: The scene where Ram reveals he doesn't have a mother was memed (especially the way the conversation goes) with the word mother replaced with something else.
