Information Madness

Salman Khan is riding on a wave of super hits this year. Last year Sallu Miyan had a super duper blockbuster hit Dabangg then super hit Ready and now Bodyguard on Eid and Ganesh Chaturthi. Early reports are already puting the movie on the "top grosser" in the history with approximately Rs. 21 crores collection on the opening day. While Bodygaurd movie reviews are amazing, Google on the other hand is confused with the Bodygaurd movie itself in the "Google Movie" showtimes listing.

I was looking at the Google Movies Bodyguard showtimes at USA's site and the movie was listed fine and the showtimes were fine but the actual reviews that Google pulls from different sites were actually talking about other Bodygaurd movie (The Malayali Bodyguard Movie).

If you go to Google India's movie showtimes site, Google actually shows star cast from the Malayali Bodyguard movie but the language of the movie still shows up as Hindi. The reviews are also showing up for Malayali Bodyguard movie.

So does it mean that Google Movies doesn't have unique identifiers for the movie titles? Do they pull in the information based on the title only? Pretty strange if you ask me.
