- Guns had unlimted ammunition
- The henchmen of the goons have learnt how to shoot
- Villains no longer have fancy names
- Heroes are no longer invincible
- No more thakurs exist in the village anymore
- Rape scenes have reduced
- Actresses fight and not get hit in the head and faint
- The hero doesn’t have a younger sister going to college (and waiting to be raped)
- The whole village doesn’t dance in fancy clothes behind the main cast
- There are no songs with hidden nuances and double meaning which can be enjoyed.
- There is no tall black goonda who beats the hero before dying and shouting “AAAAAA” in a horrible way.
- Movie titles do not contain words like Badla, Saugandh, Zindagi and stuff.
- Heroes are no longer farmers and sons of poor farmers.
- There is no kindly soul who does some qurbani so that the hero/heroine become something in life.
- No more melodramatic mothers who wear white saris and stitch clothes for the hero so that the hero can become Bada aadmi.
