I watched The Namesake yesterday and noticed some bloopers in the movie.
There are two anachronisms:
It is the year 1961. The scene depicts a porter carrying a trunk belonging to A. Ganguli at Howrah Station. If you observe carefully you can see an advertisement for IndusInd bank in the background.
This time its 1982. The family has come to Calcutta for a few months. You are being shown random shots depicting life in Calcutta. One such shot features a tram with the following advertisement on it ‘Over 40 ATMs across Calcutta’.
There were a few more mistakes that a friend and I noticed.
The Ganguli family is at the airport leaving for Calcutta. Their baby daughter Sonia is missing in the scene. Neither of them is holding her. Suddenly in the next shot, the baby reappears in Ashoke’s hands. This can be labeled as a continuity error as explained by my cousin who’s into Mass Communitcation. :)
Ashima recites Daffodils when the prospective groom’s family visits her’s for the first time. When she reaches the last line, her to-be father-in-law being fond of the poem himself, recites the last line with her. However, in flashbacks that follow in the rest of the movie, the lines are recited by Ashima alone.
There is another audio flashback of a man telling Ashoke to pack his bags and see the world, which is not in the same language as the original delivery of the dialogue earlier in the movie.
Do you have any more to contribute?
