Factual Mistake
The "grandmother" tells Soham that Kabir was an orphan found on the banks of Ganges river. In reality, Kabir was found by a water-well in Lahartara, a suburb of Varanasi.
Trivia:
On 2 March 2006, a five-hour long puja (prayer) was performed for the success of the film. The puja was conducted by 16 Pundits, and occurred on the banks of the River Ganges at the holy Dasashwamedh Ghat. It was attended by the film's producer and writer L.C. Singh and director Pankaj Parashar. The next day, another puja was performed inside the Vishwanath Temple.

Early in the movie, Babaji changes Soham's name from Sohan (a fairly common name that means "handsome") to Soham. Soham has been called the universal mantra, and translates "I am that". Babaji later teaches Soham from the Upanishads about "Tat tvam asi" ("That thou art") a major principle of Vedantic Hinduism.
