      Around 1:29:30, when john is explaining about his childhood story, he says about being born in Manhattan. Assuming he was a 90's kid, the picture at this time of Manhattan has the newly constructed WTC, there is no way this would have been possible.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to reduce uses of strong language in order to obtain a 12A classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.

    Confused title says it all
    I thought it would be a good movie but it didn't appeal. Two rich spoilt brat are sent to Kerala to stay with minimum money by which they can sustain and learn something useful. But at the end it didn't make much of a difference and some things were unreal so didn't stand out. Lalu Alex is a legend actor and his performance is always great. Korah was funny. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this movie.
