1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: courtesy of [[Film/SlumdogMillionaire A R Rahman.]]
2* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: A couple of the songs, particularly the one filmed on location at Macchu Picchu. It's best to regard them as mini-intermissions in typical Bollywood fashion.
3** A rare non-musical one with Chitti [[spoiler:negotiating with ''mosquitoes''.]]
4* CrazyIsCool: The non-stop crazy wirework and CG action around the climax of the film had reached memetic levels of fame.
5* HarsherInHindsight: Sana's NearRapeExperience on a train - not only did [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-20848722 something like this happen for real]], but the victim is in ''critical condition'' - and they've sent her for treatment in the same hospital in Singapore that ''Rajnikanth himself'' had to be sent to some years ago! [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-20860569 Alas...]]
6* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Rajnikanth has already had a following for some time in Japan, a country that also loves its big-budget FX movies ''and'' its robots. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw1_5EURqtA Do the math on that...]]
7* KarmaHoudini: Vaseegaran's assistants. Although they aren't malicious, they were still complicit in Bora's scheme to overhaul Chitti. They also disclosed Vaseegaran and Sana's wedding, which prompts evil Chitti to gatecrash the event.
8* {{Narm}}: What should have been a dramatic turning point when Chitti delivers a baby (see below) is ruined by the CGI people actually rendering the foetus. Seriously. At least they make up for it by getting a live baby in the scene.
9* {{Squick}}: When one of the pregnant women at Sana's shelter faces a difficult delivery, and the folks at the hospital aren't even qualified to carry out a C-section, Chitti brings up an archaic delivery method involving ''flexing the pelvis open by hand''. You don't even need to be a woman to see where that's going...
10* TearJerker: After Chitti deliberately fails a military evalutation, [[spoiler:Vaseegaran hatefully destroys his creation]]. The reactions Chitti has during this scene are utterly ''soul-crushing'' to witness.
11---> '''Chitti''': Spare me. I want to live, I want to love... I love Sana.
