[27:10] When Tyler stops his Mercedes and go out, he has that looks like a red cloth part in one hand, and the other is empty.
He goes to the back of the car, and open the trunk, asking the kid to go out. Right now, the red cloth part has disappeared and Tyler has a plastic water bottle in his hand.
During the street fight with Saju, Tyler gets hit by a blue car. Saju uses this same blue car to help him stand up. A blue Tuk-tuk can be seen in the background. Saju then walks down a short street to take the kid from 3 policemen, returning back down the same street, towards the camera. He stops at the same point where the blue was earlier, yet Tyler is able to drive a truck into Saju, pushing Saju into the blue tuk tuk. Where had the blue car gone?
When the Colonel shoots at the heroes with his sniper rifle, the sound of the shots is heard before bullet impact. High-powered long-range rifle bullets typically travel at over twice the speed of sound, so the bullets would hit before the shots are heard. Additionally, in an urban setting with tall buildings, there would typically be a series of echoes from the loud gunfire.
The police colonel (using a sniper rifle and scope) makes a "clean" first shot, striking a passenger (in the head) who is travelling in a flying helicopter which is at least 2000 meters away. This is nearly impossible for many reasons. Even if he was a champion shooter, he might make a head shot of a moving target like this perhaps 1 out of 20 tries. It's ridiculous to think he could make this, especially without the aid of a spotter (for wind and range purposes). In addition, he makes other outrageously far away shots, without ever missing once. Without a spotter, this is tantamount to a 1 in a million chance.
Sniper rounds travel at 3000 feet per second or more. The concussive force of a bullet at that speed would cause the target's head to explode. It would not simply make a hole in one side and out the other. But due to the ratings system it is not possible to show this accurately in the movie.
The scope that Nik Khan uses at the bridge is a Trijicon VCOG 1-6x but the reticle that is shown is from a Shepherd Scopes Rogue 2.5-10x. When she is holding the rifle the scope is at the 1x setting (no magnification) but when it shows the view through the reticle it is clearly at high magnification given the range of the target.
Tyler falls off the bridge into a river which has quite clear water. In real life the river is very polluted but if the water was shown polluted they could not have got the effect they wanted to show Tyler so the production made it that way on purpose.
The scene where Tyler jumps from the 100-foot tall cliff into water is impossible. When you fall into water from 50 or 100 feet, or above, it is like hitting concrete. The water cannot move away fast enough to let your fall be cushioned, as it is when you dive into a pool from a five-foot or ten-foot diving board. It is no accident that competitive and Olympic diving platforms are never more than 30 feet high. Moreover, the impact would have forced air out of his lungs, making his extended underwater sit-down physically impossible.
CORRECTION: Professional high divers routinely dive from more than 100' above the water. The record is 192'. Tyler enters the water in the correct vertical position and perfectly straight, and he is depicted as being highly trained in a variety of skills. It's certainly possible for him to make this dive.

The bad guys' helicopter is a Bell 412, a modern version of the Bell UH-1D Huey or 205. The 412 has a 4-bladed rotor that makes a substantially quieter and smoother sound than the notoriously loud "whomp-whomp-whomp" sound of the 2-bladed rotor used on the classic 205 Huey. However, the movie helicopter sound effects are from a 2-bladed rotor.
As the rogue soldiers search for Tyler Rake and Ovi Mahajan in the civilian homes, songs from Bollywood movies can be heard in the background. The scene takes place in Dhaka, where Bollywood is not popular. Bangladeshis typically watch Bangla and Hollywood movies, and it is uncommon to find households playing Hindi songs from Bollywood movies.
At 53:42, When Saju from Dhaka rings his wife at Mumbai and says in Hindi "tumhe yaad hai na...". English subtitles read "Listen to me carefully.". Literally, "tumhe yaad hai na" is "you do remember..." in English, there is no full stop and there is no break of sentences and it would have been consistent with remaining sentence. For "Listen to me carefully.", it should have been "meri baat dhyaan se suno..." in Hindi.
At 40:13, Ovi runs into a room and sees a middle aged couple, and says "bachao". English subtitles read "Help". Literally, "bachao" is "Save me" in English. For "Help", it should have been "madad karo" in Hindi.
The vast majority of cars in Dhaka have chrome, extended bumpers added because of the constant bumper-to-bumper traffic. None of the cars shown have these (filmed in India, not Bangladesh).
It is a common practice on Hollywood movies and series to show everyone on a shooting spree, but in India or Bangladesh, it is impossible to think so many dozens or even hundreds of policemen getting shot, most of them to death, and so many vehicles and property being destroyed. There is no single real life precedence of massacre and destruction of this scale in India or Bangladesh. They have simply patched a Hollywood/ USA/ Europe story on India/ Bangladesh setting which doesn't fit in the smallest point.
It is surprising that help of Government of either country (India and Bangladesh) was not sought. Both countries have good friendly relations and after all it was about a teenager boy, so both countries would have wholeheartedly helped save him and rescue him. high commission of India in Dhaka is some 14 km after cross the very Sultana Kamal bridge that the film was shot on, so they could have arranged to get only the boy reach the Indian embassy. They didn't even change the clothing of the boy to make him merge with the common Bengali Muslim public there, the boy was so distinctly
appearing a convent educated rich boy, with or without cap, so easy to recognize. They could have put some cosmetic on him.
Saju suffers a badly broken nose, which he stubbornly sets by himself, causing considerable trauma. This wound should cause intense pain for days. Despite this, after talking on the phone with his family, he casually presses his phone and then his hand against his nose, showing no sign of even slight discomfort.
At 01:06, Ovi addresses Tyler by his sir name, Tyler. An Indian kid is nurtured to address elders respectfully, no exception to this protocol. Ovi couldn't have called him Tyler, he would have called him Uncle or Bhayya or Bhai (both meaning, Brother). On this account, culture in India is drastically different from western countries where sons and daughters call even their real mom and dad by their first names. An Indian teenager would never ever do it.
