SQL Query not showing results. The query is to list the names of all the actors who played in the movie 'Anand' - sqlite

Question

Please see the tables:
Sub-Query Method:
select p.Name from Person p where p.PID in
(select mc.PID from M_Cast mc where mc.MID in
(select m.MID from Movie m where lower(title)='anand' ))
Even join is not working:
select p.Name
from Movie m
join M_Cast mc on m.MID = mc.MID
join Person p on mc.PID = p.PID
group by m.MID
having lower(m.title)='anand'

Answer 1

Your first query works without errors and if you make adjustments like in my few next steps the second one will work also.
Your second query: you can not select only p.Name and group by only m.MID. If it is in select clause and is not a part of aggregate function then you have to use it in group by clause. For example like this:
select p.Name
from Movie m
join M_Cast mc on m.MID = mc.MID
join Person p on mc.PID = p.PID
group by p.Name;
Your second query also has a HAVING clause having lower(m.title)='anand' but it should be in where clause like this:
select p.Name
from Movie m
join M_Cast mc on m.MID = mc.MID
join Person p on mc.PID = p.PID
where lower(m.title)='anand'
group by p.Name;
Now that both query are working you need to check if you have a movie with title 'ANAND' in your data. Also you need to check if you have a corresponding MID and PID data in other tables.
I have tested this in MySQL but it will maybe help you even if you use other database to guide you through some mistakes... Here is a small DEMO in MySQL where you will see that data will not be returned if there is no data in one table.
Here is a small DEMO for SQLite where you can see that your first query is working:

Please check the data!
After I have exchanged few comments with OP I have noticed that maybe it is a blank space in data making a problem. So I suggested this:
select p.Name
from Person p
where trim(p.PID, ' ') in (select trim(mc.PID, ' ')
from M_Cast mc
where mc.MID in (select m.MID
from Movie m
where lower(title)='anand'))
This also can be implemented in the second query:
select p.Name
from Movie m
join M_Cast mc on m.MID = mc.MID
join Person p on trim(mc.PID, ' ') = trim(p.PID, ' ')
where lower(m.title)='anand'
group by p.Name;
The problem was that in the query two tables were joined with mc.PID = p.PID and one column had data with blank spaces. So the query was trying to join this data : ' 1' = '1'. TRIM function will remove all the blank spaces in the value and join will then be possible.

Answer 2

SELECT MOVIE.title, person.name
FROM (MOVIE INNER JOIN mcast ON MOVIE.MID = mcast.MID) INNER JOIN person ON mcast.PID = person.PID
WHERE (((MOVIE.title)="ANAND"));

Answer 3

select distinct p.name [Actors in Anand]
Movie m
join M_Cast mc on mc.MID=m.MID
join Person p on p.PID=mc.PID
where m.title="Anand"
order by p.name
