What are the biggest casting mistakes in Indian Film History?

 

• Stupid Khan in Tubelight.

Remove Salman Khan from this movie and this becomes a great movie. The producers forgot that Salman Khan just cannot act which was required in this movie.

• Akshay Kumar in Jolly LLB 2.

Agree or not Akshay ruined the charisma that Arshad Warsi created in the first film. Well Akshay Kumar has destroyed most of the sequels he worked on.

• Hrithik Roshan in Super 30.

Okay the movie wasn't that bad, it's just that Hrithik doesn't look much rural, he's a handsome urban hunk. And the main character is from a rural village in India. In this movie Hrithik looks more like a Egyptian God.

• SRK in Zero.

What really pissed me off about this movie is that they spent so much to make SRK look like a dwarf. They should have instead hired a talented dwarf actor, saved the budget, SRK and Katrina could have done a cameo and the movie would be much better and realistic. It's not a bad movie, it's just that watching SRK forcibly trying hard to make unrealistic things look realistic is just not what this movie required.

• Shraddha Kapoor in Haseena Parker.

Shraddha Kapoor just cannot play the negative role. Give me a break. She more looks like a candy canny, the next door girl trying to lose her virginity. The Filmmakers tried to make her look ruthless in this movie by just applying soot beneath her eyes. The movie, obviously tanked.

What are some mistakes made in Tamil movies?

 Singam 2 :

As the police station gets vandalized by hooligans to bust Danny out of prison, we get a closer shot at the board displaying the name of the station. It states “Magalir Kaaval Nilayam" in Tamil which translates to “All women's police station” in English. Ironical that Durai Singam would be working in a police station meant only for women.

Aadhavan :

Aadhavan had earlier applied sacred ash on his forehead. The ash would have got dissolved as soon as he got underwater. Instead we see the ash visible distinctly on his forehead underwater as he shoots the godman.

Anniyan :

Section 129 of the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988 states that “Anybody driving a motorcycle or a two-wheeler of any class in a public area is mandated to put on a protective safety helmet". It is conflicting to know that someone like Ambi who respects the law and preaches others to do so doesn't care to wear a helmet while riding his two-wheeler.

Vaaranam Aayiram :

Krishnan and Malini fall in love while attending the Madras Christian College in the 1970’s. In the song “Mundhinam” we see a Santro parked at a distance. However it was not until the 2000’s, the Santro was launched in India.

Nanban :

This movie takes place around the earlier half of this millenium (2001–2002) and yet Riya uses YouTube on a laptop running on Windows 7.

Windows 7 was launched by Microsoft in the year 2009 while YouTube was launched in the year 2005.

It is easy to point out mistakes in movies but besides it is more important to appreciate the hard work and effort put in by the cast and crew in presenting such marvellous movies.

What are some of the mistakes in famous movies that go unnoticed by audiences?

 Movie-Bahubali 2

Actually there are two mistakes I found in this movie.I saw you here.

First one is this…

Now everyone remember this scene?

This was the scene when in the full house Devsena was chained and brought in front of king Bhallaldev For her trial and sentence. In this scene, Bahubali was saying to Devsena that he who puts his hand on women his throat should be cut instead of his hand.

While saying that, Amarendra Baahubali took out his sword and cut the head of the army general and his headless body falls down on the floor.If you observe the scene properly, you cannot find a trace the blood in the scene.

This was the biggest mistake of this scene. Incidentally, this particular scene is considered one of the best scene in the movie and it won the heart of millions. Most of us didn't notice this particular mistake just because we all were engrossed in the story.

And another is this……

Anybody has hardly noticed that the place where Devsena was chained and kept there was no tree around. And, going by the look of the place and its cleanliness, it is hard to imagine from where the stray woods are coming into picture.

What are some of the biggest career mistakes of Bollywood stars?

 1. When Saif Ali Khan went all out against his film Humshakals and said that 'it was a mistake'. In a report by the Times of India, he was reported as saying:

“The film was very regressive. In fact, while watching it, I asked myself what I was doing in it. I knew I had let my fans down and underestimated their intelligence. I've been introspecting a lot and will never repeat a mistake that was Humshakals.”

2. When Emraan Hashmi said that 'kuch filmein kitchen chalane ke liye bhi karni padti hain', hinting at his movie Good Boy Bad Boy. He further added.

“Good Boy Bad Boy toh aisi movie thi ki kitchen hamesha ke liye band ho jaaye.”

3. When Shahid Kapoor said he wished he hadn't done Shaandaar, Chup Chup Ke and Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi. Elaborating on the third, he said:

“I think it was trying to be an international film and we didn’t have the kind of expertise to do that kind of computer graphics.”

4. When Ajay Devgn critiqued Sajid Khan's way of making Himmatwaala, a movie he said he knew will be a flop.

“I thought the film (Himmatwala) will be shot the way Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai was shot in retro style. What Sajid did is he took 80s film and shot it in 80s style only. Himmatwala would have worked if it would have been made in today's styling and punch lines but it went back in time.”

5. When Govinda said he took up the role in Kill Dil only because his family said he'll be left behind.

“I asked my wife and my children about it. They very honestly told me that I didn't have much of a choice. The kind of roles I wanted to do were not coming my way and I wasn't keen on the kind of offers I was getting. My family told me to take up the offer, or I'll be left behind.”

What are some common mistakes in Indian movies?

 Well very few people had noticed this mistake from the movie :

3 Idiots (2009)

When Farhan (R. Madhavan) & Raju (Sharman Joshi) reaches Ranchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad (as Jaaved Jaaferi) house, Ranchoddas is praying to his dad that he couldn't fulfill his last wish with a POT in hand.

To reveal the information about their friend Rancho (Amir Khan), Farhan and Raju steals that POT from the table and run. And later threatens to put the Ostia (Astiya) inside the POT into the toilet.

By the time Farhan actully throws the CAP of POT in the toilet.

But during their conversation (don’t know how) the CAP is again back to the POT.

What are some major mistakes of Bollywood films?

 Krrish 3:

In the song Raghu Pati Raghav Raja Ram, the magic of Krrish continues as his shirt is sometimes full sleeve and when he has to show his muscles it turns to half sleeve. Dad ki picture hai, chalta hai …

Maine Pyar Kiya:

There is a smoking scene of Salman and Laxmikant Berde in the film. You can see here only two –three puffs are taken.

When Reema Lagoo enters they hide the cigarettes behind their back. Here you can see that merely two-three puffs are left.

As the scene moves further Salman is shown with a new cigarette. The scene is at a stretch .i.e. it’s a continuity scene.

So how can Salman lit a new cigarette in the presence of Reema Lagoo??

PK:

Alien Aamir Khan transfers all the languages and concepts and each and every detail through this lady by holding her hands.

There was surely a network problem during the process and that may be the reason that PK was unaware about what is a condom?

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara:

In this scene Katrina is shown wearing a pink top. She asks, Can I borrow your bike?, but in the next scene when she is going to meet Hrithik the top color changes to Maroon.

Seriously, Can I borrow your top??

Badlapur:

There is a scene in the film where Varun Dhawan’s character (Raghu) threatens Harman in his house. He throws a bottle of wine on the wall which gets stained but in the next scene the stains disappeared.

Who licked the wine?

Baby:

There is a car chase scene of Akshay Kumar in the film.

The chase was fine but there was surely a problem with the vehicle.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag:

While making a biopic or periodic film it becomes essential that we do not time travel in any case.

You have to take care of minor details. In one of the scenes a network tower can be seen in the frame.

Race 2:

Saif gets out of a yellow Lamborghini and as he moves towards the camera, a bomb goes off in the car.

A split second later, the car that explodes is different from the one he got out.

Pyaar Ka Punchnaama:

This 2011 Hindi romantic comedy film, directed by Luv Ranjan is the story of three working bachelors who find girls whom they fall in love with and the twists and turns of the newly developing love stories.

It has a scene where the three friends come on a bike to a Dhaba and leave in a jeep. Continuity ??????

Hum Aapke Hain Kaun:

In the song Didi Tera Devar Madhuri is first shown wearing the saree in a Gujrati style.

Later in the song it changes as per the scene’s necessity and then it again gets back to normal.

Not a big deal in Bollywood where number of sarees are changed in a single song.

What mistakes were made in films that became famous?

 Some films have remained etched in the history of cinema, and the general public remembers them as masterpieces. But even they have had some minor flaws.

Titanic: In one scene Leonardo DiCaprio tells Rose that he went fishing in Lake Wissota. The problem is that the Titanic sank in 1912 and Lake Wissota was formed in 1917.

Braveheart: A story set in the 1300s with Mel Gibson impersonating William Wallace and wearing a kilt. Too bad the kilt didn't become popular until 300 years later, in the 1600s.

Gladiator: Russell Crowe in the film is nicknamed " The

Hispanic ", an old French word from the 1300s. Big mistake! The film is set in 180 BC, a thousand years before the word was invented .

Django: In the 2012 cult film, Django (played by Jamie Foxx) wears sunglasses. But back then they were rare, more like prescription sunglasses.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: In the scene where Malfoy falls to the ground, a camera operator is visible on screen as the Hogwarts students look on.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Here, Captain Barbossa loves to eat apples. In one scene he is holding a green apple, a Granny Smith variety, which did not exist until 1868, about 140 years after the time in which the film is set.

The Lord of the Rings: In a battle scene, the watch can be seen on Gandalf's wrist.

What are the most costly mistakes ever made in history?

 

1. The land is useless.

Alexander II of the Russian Empire thought Alaska was just a useless ice land, so he sold it to America for a very cheap price (7.2 million USD) (which would be worth 1 billion dollars today), but now Alaska is one of the most important areas in the world with an estimate of more than 50 billion dollars.

(Russia sold Alaska because it was under pressure from the Crimean War. Russia was afraid that England would be able to infiltrate Alaska through Canada, especially since the area was remote and difficult to defend. FYI, the number of Russian residents in Alaska at that time was not even more than 1000 people, so this price was enough to break even for both of them. Alaska's utility value came from oil, and this was only discovered in 1902).

2. The wrong tools can cost more than 720 billion USD in losses.

The Chernobyl explosion is arguably the most expensive mistake ever made due to the use of faulty equipment, so it could be one of the most expensive mistakes in the world.

3. The heaviest submarine in Spain.

The Spanish government spent about 1.75 billion dollars to build a new submarine (Isaac Peral), but after the construction was completed, they realized that the submarine was too heavy to operate in the water, so they rebuilt the ship and lost 1.75 billion USD.

4. Expensive ships that unfortunately sank too soon throughout history.

Vasa , a $200,000 Swedish ship in the 17th century (it would be more expensive now) that was built to be the strongest ship in the world, but unfortunately, this ship sank immediately while still in the shipyard.

5. Beirut explosion.

The Beirut explosion is one of the biggest mistakes in history. You will say that this is not history. Not really, the reason for this explosion has been around for 6 years and this explosion caused more than 15 billion dollars in damages, including human lives…

6. Europeans who killed all the cats.

(Religious disgrace) After the pope ordered the people to kill all cats because they considered them to be the incarnation of the devil, the Black Plague spread throughout Europe and killed millions of people, finally in the 14th century they imported cats from the Middle East and Africa.

7. Anglo-Spanish War

This war caused Spain to lose all their colonies in Africa and America, including their ships and treasures. This was all due to Spain being proud of its strength and power.
