3 Idiots

, is on a record-breaking spree at the box office. But perfection has nevertheless eluded the director. There is a faux pas in the blockbuster that seems to have finally come to light.

In an obvious continuity error, TV actress Mona Singh’s character is first called Poonam and then Mona a few scenes later. Singh, who plays Kareena Kapoor’s elder sister in the movie, is first referred to as Poonam by her on-screen dad Boman Irani. Poonam, inexplicably enough, becomes Mona in the dramatic sequence that follows, where Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan deliver a baby with Kareena’s help.
