Goof-up #2: Rajinikanth's 'Lingaa'

We had earlier reported on Rajinikanth's character Lingeshwaran in the film, in the flashback set in 1939, was shown reading Joseph Campbell's 'The Hero With A Thousand Faces', which interestingly was first published in 1949. Yet another goof up in film which we have noticed is that involving the logic behind police tracing down Rajinikanth (Lingaa) in the modern era in the film.

Lingaa, played by Rajinikanth, and his friends flee the city after knowing that the police are on the look out for them following the theft of a necklace. While Rajinikanth and Santhanam escape to the village 'Solaiyur' with Anushka, the other two friends flee somewhere else. The two character's are said to have been caught later at the end of the film which leads the police to 'Solaiyur'.

The logical goof-up is that, during the theft scene, Anushka heads out of the room in which she is hiding along with Rajinikanth even before the CCTV cameras are blinded with balloons, a plan mooted by Rajinikanth. Even though she steps out only for second or two, she is bound to have been caught in the CCTV cameras. Since she works in a television channel called 'People's TV' in the film, the police should have been able to track her down much faster and could have nabbed Lingaa much earlier.
