''Zokkomon'' is a 2011 Bollywood superhero movie released by Creator/{{Disney}}. An orphaned boy is sent to live with his [[EvilUncle greedy and ill-intentioned uncle]] and attend his miserable school full of abusive staff until one day, he is abandoned and [[DeathFakedForYou falsely reported as dead]] in order to claim his inheritance. Eventually, he develops a heroic persona to aid the town's children and put a stop to his uncle's misdeeds.
----
!! Zokkomon contains examples of:
* CrocodileTears: Deshraj and his wife feign sorrow at the "death" of Kunal.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Magic Uncle first appears to be a strange and terrifying man. In reality, [[spoiler:he turns out to be a failed scientist named Dr. Vivek Rai who took up a residence in the "haunted house". He also helps Kunal plot to get even with his uncle using science]].
* DirtyCoward: [[SadistTeacher Shantaram]] (who regularly threatens/abuses his students at the slightest provocation) runs off in terror at the first glance of [[spoiler:Zokkomon]] and fears him since.
* EvilUncle: Deshraj.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Kunal bravely defies his friend's warnings not to go into the haunted house due to his lack of belief in superstition and comes out fine. [[spoiler:[[ChekhovsSkill This comes in handy later on]] when Kunal becomes Zokkomon and successfully convinces the townsfolk to think more rationally. With Vivek's aid, no less]].
* GoodIsNotNice: Magic Uncle ([[spoiler:Dr. Vivek Rai]]) is quite a bitter {{Jerkass}} [[spoiler:but he helps Kunal empower the town's children against Deshraj]].
* InheritanceMurder: Somewhat [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]]. Deshraj doesn't seek to directly ''kill'' Kunal, but abandon him somewhere and claim he died just to claim his inheritance. Although, were it not for Kittu, he likely would've died anyway.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The school staff are spooked by [[spoiler:Zokkomon]] and rebelled against at his encouragement. [[spoiler:On top of that, Deshraj is arrested off-screen and jailed for his crimes at the ending]].
* SadistTeacher: Shantaram's not above inflicting corporal punishment but that's not all he does. In his EstablishingCharacterMoment, he taunts Kunal like he's ready to smack him [[BaitTheDog but doesn't and instead laughs about it]] (which the class and even Kunal himself go along with)... [[MoodWhiplash only to smack him seconds later]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Shantaram (and the other teachers as well) have ''zero'' compunctions about threatening the schoolchildren with violence. Early in the movie, he actually ''[[KickTheDog smacks Kunal in the face]]'' [[DisproportionateRetribution simply for correcting his mistake when teaching English]].
