YMMV / Main Hoon Na

Go To

  • 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 over the top at all.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: 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 Beslan school hostage crisis in Ossetia, which occurred a few months after Main Hoon Na's release.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: This tumblr post points out that the movie has many similarities with the Harry Potter franchise, especially the movies Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (and hilariously, the principal is briefly seen reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at one point). The kicker? This movie came out on 2004, several years before Deathly Hallows was even written!
  • Memetic Mutation: 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.
    Ram: ...Tumhari X toh hogi na.note 
    Lucky: Sabki hoti hai!note 
    Ram: Sabki nahi hoti.note
