Let me introduce this very enlightening Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri

'Sriraam' seems to have been used as an honorific for respect...let us say a title of sorts. I'm sure someone from Maharashtra can shed light on it too.

And this is not the first time this 'blooper' has happened...it is quite intentionally written...when Salman Khan made his special appearance in LTL during the month of September, a behind the scenes segment had raw footage of the scene being shot...there too, while introducing Dutta to Chulbul Pandey, she named him as 'Sriraam Dutta Patil'...this bit actually didn't make the final cut though. Pity that Khushi's YT channel was deleted because I believe she had a video of it...if anyone can remember the date of that segment, please do post to clear the misconception that this is a blooper on their part!

So....I am not going to say that Sriram Dutta Patil is a blooper. No, not at all. Not from any explanation and here is my justification:
Different parts of India have different ways of addressing people.
For example - it is very common in south India to people to NOT have surnames. For example, renowned mathematician S Ramanujan, who invented the "zero" is S Ramanujan, S standing for his father Srinavasa. It is also very common to add the village name to this making it S I Ramanujan.

So, in that sense, it is not wrong to say Sriram Dutta Patil, since it is completely ok to have the father's name precede your own name, almost like a gene - an identifying factor.

Just my 2 cents of providing more insight into the discussion :)
