Gillian Anderson, Hugh Bonneville, Manish Dayal, and Huma Qureshi in Viceroy's House (2017)

Goofs

Viceroy's House

Edit

Factual errors

A huge red carpet is rolled down a stone staircase just as the Viceroy's carriage is arriving. It would have been done much earlier, due to the time it takes to fold the heavy carpet into each step.
Hugh Bonneville sounds nothing like Louis Mountbatten, who spoke in an accent unique to the British royal family and members of the aristocracy. Gillian Anderson captures Lady Edwina Mountbatten's accent more accurately.
Gillian Anderson is credited as Lady Edwina Mountbatten. She would only be called Lady Edwina if her father had been an earl, marquess, or duke. After her husband was knighted, she became Edwina, Lady Mountbatten or Lady Louis Mountbatten. When Louis Mountbatten became a viscount, she became Edwina Mountbatten, Viscountess Mountbatten of Burma. When he became an earl, she became Edwina Mountbatten, Countess Mountbatten of Burma. More commonly, she would simply be Lady Mountbatten.

Revealing mistakes

As the plane flying the new Viceroy to India is over the Caucasus Mountains, the view out of both windows is identical, with the sun coming from the same direction. The shadows should have been reversed in the window on the other side.

Anachronisms

Someone sitting at a table in a refugee camp mentions the Pakistani city of Faisalabad. In 1947, it was Lyallpur, Punjab, named after Sir James Broadwood Lyall. It was renamed Faisalabad in 1977.
The music playing on the gramophone about 15 minutes into the film is the "Ascot Gavotte," written for My Fair Lady in 1956.
The car that arrives at 10 Downing Street in 1947 is an early 1950s Humber Snipe.
