4) How did the boy know who invented the revolver just by watching his brother use it? How does his friend know about Benjamin Franklin? 5) “Darshan Do Ghanshyam” is NOT written by Surdas. It is written by Gopal Singh Nepali for the movie Narsi Bhagat (1957). This song is also credited as traditional and originally written by 15th century poet Narsi Mehta, whose life that film is based on. 6) After winning the game-show, the boy sits on the railway platform and nobody recognizes him! Considering the popularity of the show, is that realistic? 7) Two glaring omissions: To qualify for the show one has to answer several GK questions over phone or Internet. Even after making it to the show, a contestant can reach the hot-seat, only after “fastest finger first”. All this is conveniently forgotten in the film. 8) And of course the greatest flaw in the storyline: programmes like 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' and 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' are NOT telecast live. As a result the entire structure of the film becomes unrealistic. For a film that boasts of being realistic such a flaw cannot be overlooked. Anyone else wants to say this is a g-r-e-a-t film despite all these flaws?

4) Its not just by watching him. His Brother calls himself "The guy with Colt 47". Revolver was invented by Samuel Colt.
5) Darshan Do Ghanshyam was infact written by Surdas whatever the debate going around. This song was a few centuries later sung by Manna De for the movie 'Bhakta Surdas'. Maybe the lyrics were changed a bit for the movie but that doesn't take away the originl credits. Just like Mann Kunto maula was written by Amir Khusro and not Nusrat Fateh Ali or Sabri brothers.
7) One doesn't have to answer several but a single question on phone. Anyone can answer that because there is plenty of help available and no time limit. Fastest fingers first was not there in earlier episodes of KBC. Moreover the show wasn't KBC.
8) The show is not telecast live but that doesn't mean it can't be telecast live. At the end of the day it was a movie and not a documentary on how KBC or WWTBAM are made.
