Supposing the batsman hits the ball and it "magically" stops right before the boundary..the fielder doesn't pick the ball (again "magically")..other fielders don't rush in to pick it either (again "magically")... all the 11 men waste therefore, waste like 10 minutes looking at each other (!!!)
My question is how many runs can the batsmen complete in such a scenario? Is there a limit?

I saw a Bollywood movie once based on this theme (don't really remember the name) and the runs scored were around 100!

I don't think such scenario would ever arise :) and there is no definite answer for your question
I can certainly say the maximum number of runs that can be scored in a somewhat realistic scenario would be 10 if the batsman hits on a no-ball and runs four (not a boundary) and the outfielder throws the delivery on to a loose helmet on field.
4 to the batsman
6 for the team (1 for no-ball and 5 for throwing onto the loose helmet)

situation 1: The runs do not count, because the batter-runner did not reach first safely. 4.09 Situation 2: The runs count, because this was not a force play. Note: An appeal play can be a force play. But here the force was removed when the batter was retired. The runner was not obligated to vacate his base. Whether he is put out by the defense touching him or the base is irrelevant. EDIT: My rules manual does not mention a difference here between high school and MLB rules. To show that an appeal can be a force: "If a consecutive runner has been forced to advance by reason of the batter becoming a runner, and he is forced at the moment he misses his advance base, an appeal of that base is always a force out."

There is no limit to the number of runs the batsman can take in such a situation. He can get whatever runs completed by running between the wicket. I dont think that such a situation will ever arise.

there is no limit. There have been cases before where balls have stopped in long grass or got caught in a tree on the pitch and the batsmen just kept on running. So, infinite
