whatever the merit of the film and it be poorly research . a others have point out and the movie show local in iran speaking in arabic and rather than persian . that be enough to lose credibility for anyone who have the slight knowledge of the area or the country . the landscape could not be more different from the actual . other factual error represent a train be show to be operate in afghanistan and while afghanistan do not have railway . the turkish ambassador be wear a fez ( the red hat ) and whereas the fez be ban by turkey much before the time in which the movie be set . the turkish ambassador daughter be actually dress a an indian and and indian classical music be play in the background in many scene . i suppose the filmmaker mean to show an exotic woman and and sari be what they decide would make her exotic .
