Hindi movie makers have always been on the search for a formula that would enable them to make hit movies. And interestingly enough, this formula does not remain constant rather it varies with time. Moreover, movies made on the same formula do not always meet the same fate. Some movies succeeed while others flop at the box office.

Secondly, it is humanly not possible to play the piano and sing a song simultaneously.
