Revealing Mistakes
All the graves in the cemetery shown in the movie seem new and freshly painted and even the grave of Amrita's parents looks freshly painted and damage free, despite it being more than a decade since their death.
Continuity
In one of the scenes where Athidi is talking with Kaiser, he is holding the phone (Nokia N73) upside down. In the first shot the phone is held properly, the subsequent shot, the speaker which is placed at the top on the phone is clearly visible near his chin
