In the movie The Train (1970), there is a song by Asha and Pancham, O Meree Jaan Maine Kahaa. It is picturized on Helen and a young actor. I do not know who that is.

Here is an appeal to all fans of RD Burman to identify the actor with Helen. Here is a screen-cap from the song.

In the US when an unknown person is to be charged with a crime, he is listed as John Doe, a generic name. The Indian equivalent is Ashok Kumar!

There are lots of website for Hollywood movie mistakes. Perhaps the most comprehensive is

MOVIE MISTAKES

For example, the site lists 563 mistakes (the maximum) in Apocalypse Now (1979).

Mistakes are classified as thus:

continuity,

factual errors,

mistakes that reveal the film-making process,

visible crew or equipment,

plot holes,

audio problems,

deliberate "mistakes",

character mistakes, and

"other".

No such big work has been done for Indian films. I have been collecting mistakes, but  do not have enough fir a book yet :) It is a worthy project.

Latest find, telephone pole in a film set in medieval times, Sher Khan (1962).
