Too many plotholes

Some major spot holes (SPOILERS ahead...proceed with caution if you haven't watched it yet) ruined the movie for me.

1. How does Amitabh Bacchan, a dual leg amputee with no prosthetic legs manage to drive a car with normal controls?

2. How the terrorist manage to go through the briefing (after the supposed "rescue") without having any proof that he is an Indian citizen? Why the girl did not say anything to the jawans? Even if I agree that she was traumatized at the moment, why she kept silent over so many years and why she suddenly divulged everything to Amitabh's daughter?

3. How can two mid-level officers (one of them even suspended) manage to tap a minister's home phone without anyone knowing? The tapping is usually done by tech guys (who has access to required tools/machines and knowledge) who only work under orders - I doubt any of them has that kind of power.

4. In the first "Wazir" attack, "he" stabs Amitabh and after setting fire flees the scene. But seeing as he was only an imagination of Amitabh himself, how did he manage to hide the knife (because the maid came and he was never alone since). And why they did not check the knife for fingerprints during second Wazir attack (It should be full with Amitabh's own as he was handling it without gloves).

5. The call left by Wazir on the ministers phone was obviously made by Amitabh. Why the minister did not inform anyone about this suspicious call? (He obviously had no idea who this Wazir is)

6. Why no disciplinary actions were taken against Farhan/John? remember Farhan was suspended and had no authority to take down a man/attacking government facilities (even if he was a terrorist), at the end he was shown roaming around freely!

Agree. Holes in the plot and less dramatic ending was a disappointment.
There was no point Of introducing Wazir When he was not an actual character. It mislead the audience to believe in Something that did not actually exist.

The truth about yazaad Qureshis background could have been withheld for later part of the movie. It could have helped to keep the suspense alive.

My thoughts exactly!!
I also didn't like the logic behind Amitabh creating all the Wazir facade and blowing himself up. What was the need to blow himself up? In the video which Farhan watches at the end, Amitabh sort of explains that he got himself killed to give an emotional boost to Farhan so that he would give his best to nail Yazaad Qureshi. That was simply ridiculous. Wouldn't Farhan Akhtar have tried to find out the truth behind the murder of Amitabh's daughter if it was not for his death? He could have barged in Qureshi's room, killed him and still magically got away with it even if Amitabh wouldn't have killed himself.

And there's another goof-up. It's not a plot-hole and doesn't affect the story, but I found it silly. Why does Farhan plug in the USB in a TV at the end instead of a computer? How was he so sure it contained a video? It could have been some documents which can't be viewed on TV. It was just a silly manipulation so that Amitabh explaining the story on a big screen plasma TV would look better compared to a small computer screen.

1. Cruise control. You can engage cruise control once the car is started and increase/decrease speed and use parking brake. It's obviously stupid but technically possible. I know the movie plotholes are bigger than anything but just trying to provide some help
