Dookudu

Would you like to conduct a GA review on Dookudu Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:51, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey it is not really recommended that you edit the article and make changes to it when you are doing the GAN of the same. It's not wrong though. I suggest you let Pavan make the changes to the article himself. That gives him the satisfaction of a GAN too. Cheers, ƬheStrikeΣagle 13:37, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

@Strike Eagle: Ok, its just the images basically, and one url gone wrong, that's all. Will continue on the review the day after tmrw, bro, as Pavan informed me that he would be out of station. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 13:39, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

@Ssven2: Bro, my journey has been cancelled due to an unforeseen mishap. Thus lets continue the review from tomorrow itself. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:27, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Is there anything more left in the GAR? Please let me know after going through it once. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Dear Ssven2,

Attarintiki Daredi

I will, but only after completing our collaboration with Kailash, Mayabazar. And i will add refs from other sources as well later as i am busy with Mayabazar and others. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 08:59, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Glad to hear it. If there is one guy who has captivated me in the Telugu industry, that's Power Star. Big fan of him, BTW. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:09, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

One thing, The film was never dubbed into Tamil i believe. Then how could you watch it? Do you understand the language or with the help of subs? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:10, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Torrent downloaded both Gabbar Singh and Attarintiki Daredi and watched it with subs. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:12, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Good. Strangely, i met Pawan Kalyan on the sets of the latter during the film's shoot at RFC. Sadly i was not allowed to take an image as Trivikram's ADs wanted to maintain secrecy. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:14, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Nice! Got his autograph at least? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:16, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

I could, if i was not one among hundreds of PK fans there. I just managed to shake hands. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:18, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: I also watched a few Telugu films like Annamayya, Sri Ramadasu, Sri Rama Rajyam, Baadshah, Dookudu, Adhurs, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu and Iddarammayilatho. Learning Telugu that way. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:21, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Oh. I too watched Tamil films to learn the language after my Tamil friends left. The last one was VIP. I wanted to watch Lingaa too, but i watched it first day morning show in Hyderabad in Telugu. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:27, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi! I have nominated the list for FLC and I invite you to review the nomination and suggest improvements, if any. Here is the nomination page. Thanks. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 12:22, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Btw, if possible, can you do me a favour? I'm unable to access webarchive and the list has a few dead links. Can you help me archive the links that haven't been archived yet? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 12:24, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Have you marked which ones are dead links? It would be helpful. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 12:29, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

There aren't too many. Just two or three. But, it would be safe to archive all links now. I would have done it if I could. But, my ISP has blocked the site! -- Sriram ^{speak up} 12:35, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey! I have started a discussion on the reliability of IndiaGlitz in qualifying for WP:RS, at the noticeboard. Can you spare a moment and comment there? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 07:50, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Since Krimuk raised a lot of concerns with the prose, I have reworked it twice. Pls. take a look and update your comments. Thanks. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 17:46, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey again! While, waiting for Krimuk's return to the FLC, I read a few existing FLs and have attempted rewriting the prose. You might have to look into it too. Sorry for the trouble and thanks. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 18:37, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Combating dead links

I noticed that in Chandramukhi, several Hindu links had unneeded apostrophes in their URLs (eg: "todays" was written as "today's" in many URLs), rendering them inaccessible. Was that your unintentional doing? But never mind, its been solved. But just in case any link seems no longer accessible, don't just remove it straight away; try searching it's title in google and use the new URL, if any found. BTW, are you using twinkle to counter vandalism? Kailash29792 (talk) 18:18, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Yes, I am using twinkle. As for the references, I might have overlooked them. Thanks for looking them up. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 03:46, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Can't believe it has failed! — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 07:29, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Sadly, yes, and according to User:Ian Rose (the FAC coordinator), support was given by "only two of the eight or nine reviewers", which means us both. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:47, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Sivaji

@Kailash29792: I happened to find this link which explains about a book on the making of the film. If there is anyone who has it, it would be great. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 17:41, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

I have mailed you Ramachandran and Dhananjayan's writings on the film. Opened your mail yet? And would it be wise to rename the article to Sivaji: The Boss? Kailash29792 (talk) 05:18, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: I will do it after the reassessment. Don't want it to happen like for Pulikecei, remember bro? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 05:46, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Yes I do remember. And I don't think it is wrong for a film article's title to include its subtitle, as long as it is significant, eg: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, (although its initial posters hid the subtitle due to the director's dislike for it) Atlantis: The Lost Empire and the Star Trek films from II to VI. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:57, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: True, but as I have stated above, I will do the name changing after the reassessment has been completed. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 06:00, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Chennai Express

Since you expressed interest in conducting its GA review, you may go ahead and start; but if the lack of a proper prose stops you from doing so, then please just create the GAR page and put the review on hold till your concerns are met. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:11, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Alright, I'll start once Onel5969 finishes the c/e process. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 16:13, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

The page was badly damaged after it passed its GA review. Since you GA reviewed the article, why not see if you can clean it again? The nominator seems to have retired. BTW, how did your exams go? Are you an AVK now? Kailash29792 (talk) 10:01, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: If you mean "Avuththu Vutta Kazhudhai" then yes I am. Exams went very well indeed. I'll be focussing on Cary Grant starting from this weekend.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 14:49, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Veeram

In a rare move for a Tamil film, User:Materialscientist has protected Veeram indefinitely from IP-user editing, which could be one's best chance at making it a GA as there would be no disruptive edit wars.

Okay. Just make a note of it.

@Pavanjandhyala: Actually, if it were made a GA, it would be a tribute to director Bapu . BTW, can you help me find references from newspapers regarding the film (particularly TOI)? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:34, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Of course a noble intention and hats off. I've added a few from TOI and Sify and will add the remaining soon. But what makes me surprised is what made you focus on this film all of a sudden?

@Captain Assassin!: I recommend that you get the article copyedited before the review. It needs to have a c/e done. The "Historical inaccuracies" sections are in point form. Change it to paragraph form and find suitable sources for each of the points. After the c/e, I'll take up the review. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 17:29, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Enthiran Copy edit

Just a note: what is meant by 'mosquito' in this sentence here: 'The character of Ranguski, the mosquito whom Chitti has an encounter with, was also the childhood pet name of Sujatha Rangarajan'? Thanks. LouiseS1979 ^(pigeonhole) 11:54, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Anyway, I've gone over the article. I used Visual Editor, so concentrated on the text rather than any coding, but hopefully that's good for a first pass. Let me know if you want anything more looked at (apart from the mosquito issue, which needs a little bit more explanation in English as I'm sure it's not referring to the insect). LouiseS1979 ^(pigeonhole) 13:20, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

@Lstanley1979: Yes, it refers to the insect. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 13:29, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Enthiran

Apart from The Terminator (rogue robot) and Frankenstein (creation turning against creator), did you notice Enthiran having similarities to any other work? Because if you did, all that can be in a potential section named "Themes and influences". Kailash29792 (talk) 17:37, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Will do so. BTW, can you send me Dhananjayan's and Ramachandran's info on the film? Also Dhananjayan's info on Dasavathaaram? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 04:47, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Use all you can. And did you get the mail containing Dhananjayan's writings on Dasavatharam? Kailash29792 (talk) 11:17, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Thanks. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 17:06, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Bro, in page 232 of Ramachandran's book, after the sentence "I had to work very hard for Vaseegaran", there is a reference number 21. Can you tell me what it is? If it is from any newspaper or magazine (reputed) please state its name. BTW, you are also a co-nominator for its FAC. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:29, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Since I don't have the book (I've been photographing its pages from Express Avenue Mall!) I'll go again and find out. How about we do one thing? You nominate Enthiran for GA, and I for FA (listing you as co-nominator). That way it'll be 50:50. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:41, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Actually, I plan take it straight to FA after the article gets a peer review and a good copyedit. Most of the faults can be resolved in the peer review itself. But, if you feel that nominating for GA first, then FA, is better, then it's fine with me. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:49, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Yes, a PR and GOCE-edit may occur with no problems. But I feel a GAN is necessary as a GA success eases the chance of FA success. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:55, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Alright then, it is settled. GA first, then FA. BTW, Lstanley1979 copeditied the plot and release sections of Sivaji and said she would help if there is anything further to edit. Do you think that the article can be kept as a GA now that we both have made edits to it? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:58, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

I think a GA-Reassessment is like a PR/FAC, so more than one reviewer should be there. I sent you information from both Dhananjayan and Ramachandran, did you not expand the article using them? After doing that, you can invite more editors to post their comments. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:53, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Well then, I'll work on Sivaji and Enthiran in tandem. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 14:40, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: In this link, there is a line that states “Hollywood technicians made 40 versions of Rajni, which were multiplied several times over for the scene where Chitti looks for scientist Vaseegaran from among innumerable robots — that famous ‘Mae Mae' scene, where Chitti bleats?”, how do I interpret and write it in the article? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 03:35, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

I'll find a way. Till then just keep it as a quote. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:21, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Ok. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 04:21, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

I have done my best and fixed all BOI links in Enthiran. Can you do your part now, by correcting the titles of the BOI links, and removing all duplicate links if any? You can use a gadget like ProveIt. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:59, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

I think the burning building scene in Enthiran was crucial to the development of Chitti the robot. Here is the line as in Dhananjayan's book: Vasee's efforts once again fail when he deploys Chitti to save people from a fire accident. Chitti saves most of the people and finally a nude girl from a bathtub, which is covered live by the media, without knowing its implications on the girl. Feeling disgraced at being shown nude on TV, the girl commits suicide. Write it as you please. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:40, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: In this link Srinivas Mohan says his team "used Doom Light Stage to scan Rajnikanth's face..." what does Doom Light Stage mean? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 07:44, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Also @Kailash29792: Are you guys working on Enthiran? While I welcome that, why do I see entire sentences including a note lifted from Anniyan and used in the "Origin" section? Also, the MOS seems to mostly identical to that in Anniyan! -- Sriram ^{speak up} 07:39, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@Sriram Vikram: We are still working on it. I added the note as it was related to the article, bro. As for the MOS, which places do you think the words are identical? BTW, please create a userpage so that I can ping you, bro. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 07:44, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Information on this "Doom Light Stage" technique is here. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:33, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

In Anniyan, the time period the film is set is out of scope. Hence I decided to have it as a note so that it doesn't veer out of context. Since Enthiran is its parent article, I think the note can be converted to main space text. Also, was the film actually set in the said period? I don't think so. In that case, it could be said that the film was reported to be set in 2200 or 3000. Btw, as I already told you, Rajnikanth said that he was narrated the storyline way back in 1996-97. Don't you think it was where the film originated? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 16:04, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@Sriram Vikram: Will do as you suggested regarding the note. As for Rajinikanth, I think you are referring to this interview. But can you help me find a better source as YouTube references are not that appropriate. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 17:19, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

If you can't find public domain videos or those published by Sun Network, then you can just state the fact with a cite AV media as reference where you don't fill the url. Check this. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 17:32, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

I read this source which says that the film "is said to be based" on Sujatha's novels. It does not confirm that the film was based on them. Moreover, Shankar claimed that the film was very "original", something I disagree with. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:23, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I found this interview with Banu which elaborates on Chitti's bad robot look. See what you can do with it. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:43, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Inappropriately added information

Ssven2, I have rolled back all of your edits to Tintin in Tibet, as neither of those two pieces of information are correct. I will explain, but first please be more careful in the future: This article is FA and I went through a great deal of scrutiny from around a dozen editors and over a hundred observations of theirs to get the article to this point, so I believe it is probably in good shape. For your first piece of added information, you must not have read the footnote appearing right next to the footnote you added, which directly contradicts your incorrect information and which apparently comes from your WP:OR (and it even directly contradicts a DYK from this article). For your second piece of added information, I checked the strange source you provided and it says nothing of the sort and reveals that this incorrect information is apparently more OR; a quick check of IMDb gives the real story. I appreciate your attempts to help. Prhartcom (talk) 13:11, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Prhartcom, who was the villain of Castafiore Emerald? The Magpie, or the photographer? Kailash29792 (talk) 13:16, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Kailash29792 and Ssven2: Read that portion of the article (Tintin in Tibet#cite_ref-10, click the "a". The DYK is here).

Ssven2, An update: Of the two Tintin voice actors, L'officer had only mentioned the one actor, which is why we had not put the other actor in the article, but clearly Colin O'Meara is the voice in English based on IMDb and I also checked the DVD of the show (Thierry Wermuth is the voice in French). I'm a little upset that we don't have a book source, but since we are sure of this information and since this is the English Wikipedia, perhaps we should change all of our Tintin articles to Colin O'Meara's name, even providing a link to his article. Prhartcom (talk) 13:36, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Update:if this helps, you can preview your edits before saving them, then perhaps edit some more and preview, and repeat until finally saving. Prhartcom (talk) 16:50, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

@Prhartcom: Thanks, will implement it in the future. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 16:53, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

The article Enthiran you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Enthiran for reasons why the nomination passed.

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	For bringing Enthiran to GA status. And that too, getting a GAR completed from Dr. Blofeld without any concerns raised and at one go, you are a champ. Blofeld was right. You really excelled yourself with this one. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 03:44, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Enthiran (soundtrack)

Why did you re-direct this to Enthiran? Given the size of both the articles, it's warranted to have a standalone article. —Vensatry _(ping) 09:07, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

@Vensatry: I actually want to have the soundtrack section in the main article for FAC. I don't know whether the soundtrack section of a film (for FAC consideration) should have a separate article or not. Should it? If then, I will remove the redirect portion and restore the soundtrack article with its talk page. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:10, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

I don't think merging enhances comprehensiveness. You can still add a summary on teh soundtrack in the parent article while having a separate article. If you feel that the articles should be merged, you should have probably initiated a WP:RM instead. —Vensatry _(ping) 09:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

@Vensatry: So, nothing wrong in having a separate article, then? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:16, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

I too feel a separate article for the soundtrack will help ease the chances of FAC success as the article will become shorter; recently, Shah Rukh Khan failed its FAC due to its excessiveness. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:18, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792 and Vensatry: It is done. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

IMO, it's good to have a separate article as the soundtrack article was in good shape and has a lot of scope to be developed further. It was one of the top albums in 2010 isn't it? :) —Vensatry _(ping) 09:20, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

I think the robot in Enthiran can have a separate article on it. Try finding significant sources. Thanks.--Skr15081997 (talk) 12:49, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

@Skr15081997: There used to be an article named Chitti (character) about the robot which was redirected to Enthiran. You can refer this for further details. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 13:16, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: I'll start work on the peer review comments first thing tmrw. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 15:23, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

I got a piece of the plot from Dhananjayan's book. See what can fit:

To protect himself, Chitti uses Bohra's lab and creates robots by transferring his program to them. When Bohra arrives and objects, he kills Bohra and declares war on Vasee for opposing his love for Sana. He occupies the AIRD as his operating centre and creates a robotic army of his clones that causes mayhem in the entire city. He informs Sana that he has even acquired the human ability to procreate and seeks to marry her. so that for the first time, a machine and a human being can give birth to a preprogrammed child and create a new world but Sana refuses. Chitti decides to eliminate Vasee in order to make her accept him. His war with Vasee and thousands of army and police personnel leads to the death of large numbers of humans and destruction of property. Finally, Vasee gets Chitti on a magnetic mode into his van and removes the destruction program chip. Chitti returns to normal behaviour but by then, huge damage has taken place. The court pronounces the death sentence for Vasee for creating this dangerous robot. However. Chitti argues the case and presents evidence that it was Bohra who inserted the destruction chip, leading to Chitti's destructive behaviour. Kailash29792 (talk) 18:05, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Well, what say you? And I noticed inconsistencies in these sources regarding the decision to rename Robot in Tamil:

• Behindwoods says the film was retitled EnthiraN to seek tax exemption from the TN government.
• CNN-IBN supports this claim.
• Rediff contradicts them, claiming that Shankar wanted to honour the government's "commitment to patronise films with Tamil titles", rather than seek tax exemption. It also states that the film was first renamed EnthiraM, while the above two sources say EnthiraN. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:20, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: We follow BW and CNN-IBN for the tax exemption. While we can use Rediff to state that the film was first named Enthiram but was later changed to Enthiran. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:02, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

According to the X! tools (here) they had received their Wikipedia username about a year ago and were up to 200 edits, however they were displaying "This user is a Master Editor". I left a message on their talk page asking them to remove that badge (I would like to be a Master editor too) but checked a month later and they had deleted my request.

Good job on The Castafiore Emerald

Hi Ssven2, I just wanted to say again that The Castafiore Emerald is looking really good. I have seen many editors come along over the years and try to improve the Tintin articles, and your commitment has topped them all. You remind me of Bob de Moor who perfectly emulated the style of Hergé. Maybe I can step in with my copies of the sources and improve the article as well. Cheers. Prhartcom (talk) 14:58, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

@Prhartcom: Thank you very much for your support. I will add a separate "Themes" section for the book as it has a lot of explanation from Farr. Can you find out more on Hergé's inspirations for the Gypsies as Farr just says it is from a photo but doesn't reveal much info on it. I will also add a bit about Calculus's attempt at colour television. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:33, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Well, see if you can stick to the same structure and sub-heading names as set by Midnightblueowl. Yes, as time permits, I will read the sources and stop by later with some expansion/improvements/possible editing.

@Pavanjandhyala: I watched the film last July and it moved me. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 12:37, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

In multiplex or DVD/Blu Ray? Well, i watched it in theaters first. While working on Mayabazar, i felt expanding Manam may not be a difficult task. Sometimes, i just imagine who would suit those three in the Tamil remake if any. For me, the other inspiration for working on Manam was the expression of ANR when Rao accepts Anjali's proposal. Incidentally, that was the last shot he acted in. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:22, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: IMHO, I think Enthiran is ready for FAC. Shall we close the PR now that many of the editors have posted their comments? — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:55, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

PR's usually close by admin actions. But you just leave it unattended, eventually it will be closed. And because I think I played a great deal in the article, please list me as co-nominator; you are of course the main nominator. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:59, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: I have asked Onel5969 to give a copyedit as two users (Shailendra and SchroCat) have suggested a c/e for the article. Once that's finished, I'll nominate it for FAC, listing you as co-nominator. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:01, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

All the best for Enthiran FAC, and your exams. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:42, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: My exams commence in June 2015 only but there are a few small tests in between. Thanks. As I mentioned in your talk page, I will put up the wikibreak sign tomorrow. So. please take care of the comments provided by the reviewers at FAC as co-nominator. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:05, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Just one clarification: Is Hansraj Saxena still CEO of Sun Network, as Enthiran mentions? His Wiki article seems to contradict this. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:11, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Jr. NTR filmography

Hello, Ssven2. As far as I know, you are one of the best reviewers of filmographies. Do you think Rama Rao Jr.'s filmography can be nominated for FLC. I worked for one week to clean up the whole filmography.

Thank you, Maheshreddy2 (talk) 15:11, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

@Maheshreddy2: Thanks for the compliment. As a list, it looks good. But, it's best if you get someone to copyedit the lead section prose. You can ask Onel5969 or Lstanley1979 to do it. Also move the awards section to the main article as this list is about his films, not his awards. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:50, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

A rare pic

Jr. NTR filmography

Thank you for your cooperation in Jr. NTR's filmography. I fixed it as per your guidance, and it looks ready for nomination. I sure do owe you a big favor soon man.

See you soon, Maheshreddy2 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 02:49, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi bro, could u please help in expanding the article of Telugu film Gabbar Singh since I have managed to edit the article so far as much as possible. Srivin (talk) 10:54, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Srivin, I think you read that note on the top of his talk page. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:25, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi bro, could u mind if you mention any reliable sources for box office collection of the film. Srivin (talk) 15:39, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Enthiran FAC withdrawal and PR

Hi. A difficult situation. I don't think the prose is of such a concern that it should be immediately withdrawn. But I do think Sandy's comments and the response since is unlikely to convince the delegates that it's ready for FAC. Whatever Sandy has said to Tim, he didn't actually support it. Perhaps the best thing would be to withdraw for now, and try to get some more copyeditors on it. Like SRK though it's difficult to see where the support is going to come from, even withdrawing and renominating at a later stage. Indian cinema articles in general really suffer at FAC, I don't think many take them seriously, Indian English and customs is often at odds with some of the reviewers. When I said it had FA potential though I meant it, and I'm rarely wrong about that. Sorry I wasn't of more use in the earlier stages, Sandy had a point about a fair bit of it, but I always have a job finding those minor MoS glitches. In its current condition I can't see any major problem with it, but what do I know...? .Also best to avoid using graphic smileys at FAC as they make you look like a thirteen-year-old! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:56, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Which reviewer said that the plagiarism section could be removed from the article? Kailash29792 (talk) 03:55, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: That doubt you mentioned about Cinemalead's content from Wikipedia in the PR made me do it. RHM22 brought up the issue at the FAC stating that the reference is "inadmissable". I have saved it in my sandbox until we find a better source that states the plagiarism cases are solved. Can you help me with that please? — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 03:59, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

There may be Tamil language references for that. Try searching. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:01, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Found a source from TNIE. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:13, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

That source mentions only one case being dismissed, that of Aarur Tamilnadan. You finding any more? Kailash29792 (talk) 05:27, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: I feel that Aarur's case is the most significant as he is the only one who filed a complaint with the MHC while the others just sought clarification on the story. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:49, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Email me, I don't believe I have your address.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:18, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, guys. For the record, the source that I was referring to as unusable was the one which stated that all the plagiarism claims were false, because the source (a website) stated that the information came from "Wiki". I don't know which Wiki he was referring to, but we can't use information from Wikipedia or any other Wiki as a source. This is the reference to which I was referring: Endhiran. Notice that at the end it says "(Content source: Wiki)". That will not pass muster at FAC. The rest of the plagiarism section looked all right to me, but I didn't scrutinize all the refs.-RHM22 (talk) 21:02, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld and RHM22: RHM22, I understand what you meant and removed the other plagiarism cases (except Aarur's case, the reason which I stated above.) along with the Cinemalead reference. Dr. Blofeld my email is shaun.srini152415@gmail.com — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 04:52, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

"Origin" reads, " in October 2007, Khan and Shankar officially aborted the project, citing creative differences" but then the next line reads, " In January 2008, Eros International and the London-based Ayngaran International agreed to be the film's producers." Can we fill the bridge by writing about Robot's revival, or was it never shelved at all after SRK's exit? Kailash29792 (talk) 06:57, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Revival is better. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:58, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

With the FAC now withdrawn, what next? A break as your talk page reads, or another PR? Kailash29792 (talk) 13:33, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: As Thalaivar quotes, "I have not failed. I have only postponed success." Another PR! — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 13:45, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

So good of you. But have all of SandyGeorgia's comments been resolved? There were the hardest to solve. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: He only listed a few of them at FAC. I have resolved some of them through Doc and RHM22. I have opened the 2nd PR. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 14:00, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the edits. But, why removing the word "full scope"? Any particular reason? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:41, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: "full scope" sounded odd and didn't make sense. Do you mean "cinemascope"? — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:42, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Maybe. I too lacked knowledge about that. Since The Hindu used it, i thought it should be a relevant term. Also, both Jaguar and Kailash left it unchanged. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:43, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

You and Kailash and a few others here are really doing Indian cinema proud on here. In fact it seems as if there's more people working on Tamil cinema articles than old Hollywood ones! Keep up the good work and please give me a bell when you want another classic film reviewed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:28, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Gladly, Doc. I will start work on Apoorva Raagangal and Apoorva Sagodharargal in June 2015 after my exams end. I will take a wikibreak and make no edits to any article except Enthiran (as I will nominate it for FAC shortly after Easter). I will try to resolve comments at the FAC from time to time. As for Indian cinema, Hindi cinema is also on my mind. I am collecting refs for Dil Se.., Shree 420 and Mera Naam Joker. Will start these three with Sivaji and Dasavatharam on November 2015. For Hollywood, I am planning to take films like The Ten Commandments, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, Guns of Navarone and the LOTR trilogy to FA status. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 12:32, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Films like those I think we'd be better off getting hold of some books/biographies. I'd be interested in helping you promote those, but Ben Hur would be the obvious one to start with for FA. You know you can request books through the Wiki UK grant?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:41, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Ben-Hur it is. I knew I had to get a hold of some biographies. Can you tell me how to request them through Wiki UK grant? It would be really grateful.

Tintin antagonist

At first I thought Tintin in Tibet was the only story not to have an antagonist. But do you remember Red Rackham's Treasure? I think the Bird Brothers were arrested even before it, and the titular pirate had no role in the present. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:16, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Max Bird had escaped and was, according to the Thompsons, skulking near the trawler Sirius. Also, the sharks are taken into consideration. A shark attacks Tintin when he searches for the treasure. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:20, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Apoorva Raagangal

I suggest you to change your wikibreak template text to "I will not be making major edits to any article except Enthiran and Apoorva Raagangal." Don't contradict the notice you kept. However its optional and depends on your perception on the latter. But considering your involvement, i can surely call it a major edit/expansion/reconstruction. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:49, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: I won't be making any more edits on AR till June 2015. The production section needed some expansion. Like Sivaji, I have expanded only the production section. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 00:33, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Are you really sure about this? Well, as i said, its optional. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 01:57, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Yep. I am. Just like Sivaji. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 02:03, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Alright then. I thought it was going to be another VK as your sudden endeavour then changed your template last time. Happy editing! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 02:07, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Same to you. I expanded the production section to make my work in June 2015 less tedious. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 02:10, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Good work on the article. But the 'Introduction of Rajinikanth' section borders WP:UNDUE. 'The film is about ... while his father is drawn to Bhairavi's daughter Ranjini (Jayasudha).' It's actually the other way around – Jayasudha is drawn towards Major. This needs to be clarified. —Vensatry _(Talk) 08:20, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Why do you keep moving the book sources I used most out of sources and into further reading? Further reading is for sources not used. Please move them back.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:49, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Done. Didn't know that, sorry (Well now I do, lol). IMHO, I thought that "Further reading" was for books which were used as the primary sources for expanding articles :) — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 08:53, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

No LOL! I'm almost half way through the Baxter book now, and have the big Lo Brutto biography to still plough through. It's a huge topic, really difficult to research, I doubt I'll go for FA with him, but I'll probably get it to GA.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:56, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

I almost forgot, did you say you were interested in the wiki grant and obtaining books to improve film articles?♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:58, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Better change my heading in Enthiran then. As I said a couple of months earlier, best of luck with Kubrick. His article really deserves to be FA as he is a game-changer for science fiction films (although IMHO, I found 2001 both boring and interesting, especially the pod bay door scene and when Bowman removes HAL's memory). Yep I am interested for the grant. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:02, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

I hated 2001 upon first viewing when I was younger! Also didn't like Citizen Kane at first. I now consider both among the greatest ever! If you want to borrow some books to improve articles you can request them here [1] You can email User:Richard Nevell (WMUK) if you want to understand more about it. Look on amazon.co.uk, any idea what books you might want to borrow to improve some films/actors?♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:05, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: It would be good if I could get it for free. Mainly for hollywood articles, David lean biographies (for expanding his films) and film books (Lawrence of Arabia is a good one). — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:08, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

You can ask Jaguar to conduct a source review on Enthiran, if it hasn't commenced yet. Correct me if i'm wrong. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:07, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Hey, here is Orlando Sentinel critic Roger Moore's archived review of Enthiran. Add it back if you want to. BTW, did you see that the film's RT score has changed? Please update it if needed. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:55, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Thanks. The RT score has changed because the same critic has written for two different tabloids. The review is the same. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:04, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

What an unfair act of sockpuppetry! Or at least it looks that way. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:08, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Holidays and Indian film releases

The heading of this section is actually a possibility of an article of the same name whose feasibility was questioned by TheRedPenOfDoom to me this evening when i actually thanked him for removing a note related to Sankranthi in Naayak reviewed by you after which i followed your suggestion. Do you think there are sources for "Indian festival releases since 1930" to make it an article? Please comment. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:49, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: In my honest opinion, I suggest you add the note back with a reliable source that states that the film is a sankaranthi release. Naayak was reviewed by Jaguar. I did the other Sankaranthi release, Yevadu. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 14:55, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

My mistake bro! :P However, we already faced the Sankranthi note issue in the lead section of Yevadu and your suggestion was accepted there. Well, can you comment on its feasibility? After giving a thought, i felt that creating an article about "Holidays and Indian film releases" would remain incomplete for an uncertain, long period of time. Before i can convey the same to TheRedPenOfDoom, i thought i should seek your opinion on this. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:58, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Persuasion (1995 film)

Hi Ssven- there's nothing wrong with redlinks per se- quite the opposite, in fact. Per WP:REDLINK, "Red links for subjects that should have articles but do not, are not only acceptable, but needed in the articles. They serve as a clear indication of which articles are in need of creation, and encourage it. Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on that subject." For more information, see this signpost op-ed I wrote recently. Josh Milburn (talk) 16:43, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Temper GAN

Hi. Before RHM22 can begin the c/e process, all of a sudden, without any request by me, Jaguar began the GAR yesterday after the city of New York being his 200th GA Review. So, it takes a lot of pain for me to tell you that you cannot review this film's GAN. Sorry for this unexpected development. Hope you understand. But, if you don't mind, can you tell me why you were interested in reviewing this film's GAN? BTW, List of awards and nominations received by Parineeti Chopra became an FL yesterday and i am updating the same on your user page. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 01:35, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Congrats to Jaguar for the double-century. I wanted to conduct the GAR because it was the first Jr. NTR film to be attempted for GA status. No need to feel sorry for this .

Well, thanks for that. I removed images because i cant find images for one and all articles. But in case you want to use images in your list, you can try this. For example, if you want to use an image of Ram Charan for Magadheera, type [[File:Ram Charan at Mumbai Airport May 2015 (cropped).jpg|200px]] beside the article name in a separate "image" coloumn. I know it is a bit shoddy, but it gives great results if pixels are adjusted. Cheers! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 07:24, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

DDLJ archives

Thank you for doing this, but I see a few issues. I think when the original link is still alive, it is best to put a "|deadurl=no" argument in the citation, so that it will pull up the original. Also, I spot checked just two references and found one in error. The ref for "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge: Lesser Known facts" now pulls up the archived link to "Saif was to romance Kajol", which is obviously wrong. There could be more, so now I have to check them all. BollyJeff | talk 22:32, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Gravity editing?

I noticed you made a few strange edits to Gravity (film), including adding non-breaking spaces to internal comments and replacing "NOT" with "''not''". Are you aware this will not be shown to the reader, only to the editor? And that your changes only makes it harder to read and follow those instructions?

Since I don't know if you are using some sort of tool, I thought it best to give you this heads-up. Could you please change back these strange looking edits? Other instances of nonbreaking spaces might have some use that I can't see, so I'm hesitant to just revert your entire change. Thanks, CapnZapp (talk) 16:03, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Missamma

Thanks for the edits. But, don't you think what did Chakrapani by burning those reels was too much? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 03:40, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Yes it is a bit too much. It was Chakrapani's fault that he did not read the letter Bhanumathi sent him. It was the crew's fault that they did not notice the letter and inform Chakrapani about it. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 03:54, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

When Nagi Reddy tried to pacify Chakrapani, it did not work and Prasad was "ordered" to cast Savitri. Despite rejecting her in Samsaram and removing her from the female lead role, Prasad "had" to direct her. This made me think that Prasad was miles better than Chakrapani. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 04:01, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Action "thriller"

I think Indians suffer from a disorder that causes them to refer to most action films as thrillers, what do you think? This is evident from Samyamoy's edits on Sivaji and Enthiran. And I think the latter film, though it does have many action scenes, I think it qualifies as more of a sci fi than action. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:08, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: I completely agree with you. The action genre can either be thriller or masala or gangster depending on the film's plot and concepts. Sivaji — masala, while Enthiran — sci fi. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:11, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Sivaji, with all its unrealistic action scenes, cheesy punch dialogues, subplots and songs, does look like a masala film. But I found no source to prove this. In fact, some reviews, and Danny's books refer to it as simply action, though I think its more than that. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:17, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Let's just stick with "Masala" for the time-being as you correctly pointed out, it does look like one. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:24, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

List of films seen

I was wandering today and found your list once again, but with a doubt. If you don't mind, can you please tell me what made you gave all the three - , and for Munna Bhai M. B. B. S. and SVSC? I can understand that Sagara Sangamam, Sankarabharanam and other devotional films make you feel those emotions. But what made you find these three in SVSC? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 08:18, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Munna Bhai made me feel good and I enjoyed the way Hirani pointed out the faults in the medical profession (like the form fill-up bit for instance.) It connected to me in a humane and moral way that kindness and compassion is important (The depictions of kindness and compassion in the film also made me shed some tears).

As for SVSC, the film's simplicity itself made me give all the three. Prakash Raj's portions in the temple were really lucid and superb that it appealed to me spiritually and devotionally. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 08:35, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

I agree with your views on both the films, the latter being one of my near-future GA Attempts in planning stage. But, there are two temple sequences. First one is Prakash's meeting with an MLA and the second, his preaching to Mahesh and Venkatesh after the havoc which brings a change in the behaviours of Venkatesh and Rao Ramesh i.e. Samantha's father in the climax. Which sequence are you mentioning? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:09, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: The second one, yes! That's the one! That scene appealed to me and also the scene where he gets to be a sort of "man-wheel" for the statue of Rama-Lakshmana and Sita. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:14, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

That sequence was shot at Ramoji Film City in a specially erected set. Filming was almost complete by then. What amused me and my friends was the scene looked so simple on-screen, it took almost a week perhaps. But from the past experiences, we could not ask for a photograph there.

@Pavanjandhyala: I see. Quite an interesting info. BTW, my list is completed now. These are the films I have seen thus far. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:20, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Well, the rest is history. I shall try your suggested films in my leisure time soon. Also, best wishes for the exams. See you soon. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:25, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Welcome back!

Good to see you back! I hope your exams went well and your contributions here didn't effect your exams anyway after all real life is much more important than Wiki. -- FrankBoy _CHITCHAT 16:44, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

@FrB.TG: Exams went well, thanks for asking. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 23:49, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Welcome back to Wikipedia after the end of stressful line up of exams. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 01:54, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Thanks 4 d coffee. It actually wasn't that stressful. Papers were quite easy. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 03:11, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Good to know that! So, what's next? BTW, Did you know that KB rejected Haasan's Apoorva Sagodharargal? (source: Haasan's recent interview to TOI). Pavanjandhyala (talk) 05:06, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Interesting info. BTW, I watched Mother India for the first time in my life today. Great film. Nargis, Naushad, Shakeel Badayuni and Lata Mangeshkar were its USPs. "Nagari Nagari Dware Dware" had me crying seeing the plight of herself and her children in the film. I highly recommend you to watch it if you still haven't watched it yet. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:13, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Birju...! :P Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:14, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: So you have seen it? — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:16, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Haan bitwa! I've seen it when i was recuperating from my injuries last April. But, the film will be a straight-away disaster if made today i guess. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:20, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: If made in the same manner, then yes, probably. What happened (the injury)? — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:23, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

It was the morning of 24 April 2015, my birthday. I was on my way to a temple and in an extremely dramatic way, my bike ran out of petrol and a swift car from the back gave a strong punch. I and my bike had a 90 degree fall out (it went vertically and i went horizontally). My left hand was severely injured and right leg had injuries. With my white shirt turning red, i made a call to my friend who drove me to a nearby hospital for dressing. I was back home and changed my dress. And, when i opened Wikipedia, you wished me a "happy" birthday and i was smiling at my cruel fate then. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:28, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Hope you're alright now (Though it might be late to say this. ) BTW, I have opened a special list of "must watch films". Do take your pick from them and also from my complete list (the films you haven't seen yet.) — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:38, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Dont worry. I am still recuperating. Till now, i watched Apoorva Raagangal (3.5/5), Thillu Mullu (4/5) and Veeram (3/5). Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:43, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: I rated Apoorva Raagangal 4.5/5 because of its different plot and music. The film's music was its USP. One can watch it purely for its music and of course, for Ulaganayagan's and Thalaivar's performances. Is Thillu Mullu the 1981 or 2013 one? — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:47, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

AR made me watch KB's TM later. I have my own issues with AR, mainly the character looks, pace and irritating subtitling running out of sync sometimes. Before you wrote this list, i watched Parasakthi (4/5), Dalapathi (4/5), Navaratri (3.5/5) and Amaidhi Padhai (3.25/5). Veeram was better than Jilla (2/5) IMHO. Both were dubbed into Telugu and the latter is yet to release. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:55, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: I really enjoyed Thillu Mullu (1981). Glad to see that you enjoyed it too. While Thalaivar showed he could perform comic roles, it was Thengai Srinivasan who stole the show. I was watching the scene where he informs Rajinikanth that he had seen the latter in a football match this morning (For the nth time. I lost count of the number of times I watched the film.) The scene where he describes Rajini's cigarette smoking left me in splits today. Not to forget Sowcar Janaki as well. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:03, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

That was indeed an iconic scene. Other worthy scenes were those where Chandran reveals to Sarojini that he and Indran are the same, that kid exposing the mustache drama before Moorthy and the following scenario and the hilarious climax. Haasan was impressive in a cameo. But the modern-day adaptation is a complete dampener. It proved me that not all directors can be like Vishnuvardhan when it comes to adapting Rajini's films to perfection. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:14, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

GA Review

Krimuk90 wants to review Drushyam. Dr. Blofeld is the obvious choice for Missamma. Hence the only article i am left with is S/O Satyamurthy. If you are interested in reviewing it, i shall try to get it copy-edited soon and let you know. But the question is, what's your take? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:42, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: If that's the case, then do let me know when SOS is ready for GAR. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 10:15, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Sure. And, thanks for patrolling Tamannaah filmography. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 10:25, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Drushyam turns a GA! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:09, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Anushka Sharma

Hi, can you please review it for GA? --Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:08, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

@Yashthepunisher: Sure, but I feel the lead section is a tad short. Expand to the extent of what you had previously done with Anurag Kashyap. Also, a bit of copyediting is needed to properly groom the article for GA. Might I suggest placing a request at WP:GOCE and ask User:Scribbleink to give the article a copyedit (He has copyedited for Drushyam before). — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 13:45, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

@Ssven2: Her career is far shorter compared to Anurag Kashyap, and all the necessary informations are mentioned in the lead. As per your wish, I will request Scribbleink, if he is intrested. Thanks for the Suggestion anyway. --Yashthepunisher (talk) 14:03, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Please then leave your comments here. --Yashthepunisher (talk) 14:14, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

@Ssven2: User:Scribbleink has completed his copyediting and has expanded it. Can you please review it now? I am sorry for my tone above.--Yashthepunisher (talk) 18:00, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

If you care so much, Why its not a GA already? You can edit and do whatever you want to do with now and take the credit coz I'm done with it. — Yashthepunisher

I don't care anymore. Do whatever the fuck you want to do with it. — Krimuk90

Situation is ambiguous. Waiting for a week before reaching any conclusion shall be a better idea. As a GA Reviewer, what do you have to say? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 03:21, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: If the issues aren't resolved within the standard seven days, I'll have no choice but to fail the article. :( — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 04:00, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

I seriously doubt another Prashant! is in the making. Hope it does not happen. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 04:10, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Manam (film)

This may interest you. Have a read if possible. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 05:29, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

deadurl=no

Why are you removing these from DDLJ? The purpose is to bring up the original version of the source if its available, because it usually looks better and loads much faster than the archived versions. I was going to do all of them, then I saw your deletions. Please explain. BollyJeff | talk 13:14, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

But, we can't guarantee that the original version of the source will be immortal and shall not become a dead URL. right? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:04, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

When/if that happens, you only need to change the 'no' to a 'yes', which I did on a few of them already. Much easier than finding an archive later. That is the intent of the field, so I think it should be used. BollyJeff | talk

I accept that. But, we can come to a conclusion that URLs are dead either when a bot tags it or we use this. I am assuming that these two happen "regularly". But, i may be proved wrong. So, i have no problem with this field. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:53, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Here is the explanation from Template:Cite web: "dead-url: When the URL is still live, but pre-emptively archived, then set |dead-url=no. This changes the display order with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end. Alias: deadurl." Even if the link goes dead and no one notices, the archive is still there and clickable. BollyJeff | talk 16:38, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Do you guys think this article is ready for FA? BollyJeff | talk 20:57, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

If those dead links are resolved, it should be. Also do some proofreading. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:21, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

I am not yet able to find a reliable replacement. The site is not archived because of robots.txt. I find it really hard to believe that filmfare.com does not list all the previous winners of their own awards, but they seem not to. BollyJeff | talk 12:53, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

I hope this helps. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:05, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

@Bollyjeff: I tried to archive the India Times references but the same problem of robots.txt came up. I even tried WebCite, but it too could not archive the links. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 04:06, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I placed a couple other sources that hopefully will be sufficient. BollyJeff | talk 12:18, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema/Tamil cinema task force

The main advantage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema/Tamil cinema task force, in my view, is to properly collect, classify and organise all Indian Tamil films, especially their GAs and FAs. That's why I created the page. But I cannot expand it on par with other task forces, and I hope you know how to. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:15, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Films

Hey! Have you seen my list of films that I have seen? Do you agree with it?—Prashant 11:04, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: Yes, I just went through your list and I do agree with your ratings. I am more into the old classic films right now and I haven't seen much of the 2015 ones (apart from I). I'll do give all of them a look soon enough by the end of next week. Nice to see that you too have started a list. BTW, did you watch Baiju Bawra yet? — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:12, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Sadly, No. But, I'm planning to watch at least 100 films once I get back to my college (since Im on a semester break). Currently, Im watching lot of American TV series and trust me they all are so addictive. I recently finished watching Homeland season 1, 2 and 3 (Brilliant) and will watch the last season tomorrow. Plus, Yesterday I watched the first episode of How To Get Away with Murder on Star World. OMG!! that one is another brilliant series. Was also planning to watch Scandal, Arrow, The Flash, Gotham and Orange is the new Black. Have you seen any of them?—Prashant 11:20, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: Not much interested in TV series I'm afraid, except for reality shows that feature on Tamil channels like STAR Vijay. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:23, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

I have no idea about any reality shows on Star Vijay!! But, all the American TV series are much much better than some of the good Indian films. Coming to old classics, I haven't seem much except Sholay. I am excited to watch Inside Out and Ant Man. Which 2015 films are you planning to watch?—Prashant 11:34, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: I'm planning on Inside Out, Ant Man and Jurassic World. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:12, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Someone told me that I haven't seen the best film of 2015, I said which one. Then he took the name. And, I was like yeah I have missed that one in theatres. The film was Madmax: Fury Road. Have you seen?—Prashant 16:25, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

I would have to agree that Madmax: Fury Road was indeed an awesome bunch of awesomeness. A must see! Have you guys seen the series Breaking Bad? It is also awesome for a TV series. BollyJeff | talk 16:27, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

I am waiting for the film's Blu-ray. As far as Breaking Bad is concerned, No I haven't seen it. But, I have heard only good things about it. Now, looking forward to watch it too. Any other series you want to recommend?—Prashant 16:53, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: I'll also wait for Fury Road's DVD. As for series, I have none but I'll give the series you have mentioned in your list a look. For recommended films, you can look at my complete list and the special list (the links to both of them are on my user page). — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 17:25, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

If possible then you must see Zindagi Gulzar Hai. I reccomend it to everyone. This series is a brilliant social drama with a heart-warming romance at its core. Sanam Saeed's portrayal of the series protagonist is absolutely delight to watch. For a long time, I believed that her character is a real person somewhere in Pakistan. The only other portrayal which I found that much real was Kangana Ranaut as Kussum/Datto in Tanu Weds Manu Returns.—Prashant 18:46, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

See you need beefing up on 1955. Highly recommend Smiles of a Summer Night (one of the wittiest films with the sharpest script ever), Rififi and Kiss Me Deadly (two of the greatest crime films ever made) and The Rose Tattoo, one of my personal favourites and one of the most neurotic films ever made haha in an Oscar winning performance!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:23, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

One which you'll enjoy is Gun Crazy.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:51, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Ah you saw White Heat and Scarlet Street afterwards. I knew you'd like them!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:48, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Suzy Kendall and Susan George, separated at birth!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:40, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

A Countess from Hong Kong the same rating as Ferris Bueller?? ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:35, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: My bad. Notice my rating for Ferris Bueller. Saw it again a few weeks ago. Forgot to give it another star. Thanks for mentioning it. BTW, I don't spot A Countess from Hong Kong on your list.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:57, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

It's crap that's why, didn't make it. Brando and Loren were totally wasted in it. What was good about it? Brando walking around in his slippers and Loren sitting at a table and lying down and looking bored out of her mind! Even Loeba a big Chaplin fan wasn't impressed! It's the only Chaplin film which was anything less than good IMO.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:08, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Loren's alright but The Godfather sucked in it (Miscast is the word. Lemmon or Matthau would have made it better). Glad to see Chaplin in Technicolor though after catching him in black-and-white. For that one reason (Chaplin) have I given a thumbs-up.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 17:15, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Nah, she looked bored in it. It reminded me of how a room on a ship might look on a rainy weekend before the Internet was invented. Should we play cards or scrabble and then twiddling your thumbs. It could have been far greater. The only thing I liked was the look of the film, but that goes for all films of late 60s and early 70s!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:18, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Thank god for the Internet and TV! Brando really should smile sometimes. So stiff, rude and cross all the time. Sorta like a "tough guy".  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 17:23, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Remember my list isn't a list of "Films seen" like yours, there's a lot of films I've seen which aren't on it. But it is true that I enjoy most films I watch and a lot of the non emboldened ones wouldn't really make a "great" list and are only moderately good/OK. Reflections in a Golden Eye suffered from similar problems, but the basic plot made it alight, but hardly great. I do think Brando was overrated. I never enjoy watching him and his films consistently like Grant/Stewart/Tracy.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:26, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: I understand that. You're right about Brando. Too much method acting. He doesn't exhibit flair like Wallach, his compatriot. He was superb in GBU and How To Steal A Million.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 17:33, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Brando was a great actor in some roles, but I just didn't warm to him or like him. And yes, largely for the reasons you state. Too stiff and cold in demeanor. Two of Wallach's best performances were Baby Doll and The Misfits .♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:39, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Ooo, one which springs to mind which you'll like is BUtterfield 8. I think it's one of Taylor's best performances. Laurence Harvey terrific in it too. I see you saw Manchurian Candidate which he was in, great film! Harvey was a terrific actor and really underrated.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Glad you enjoyed Gun Crazy. Definitely one of the best "on the run" films. Great bush fight finale in it too! Have you really not seen Bicycle Thieves yet? That's a great one, Krimuk 90's candidate for greatest film ever. The Snake Pit also for 1948 springs to mind, now that's crazy. Havilland should have won the Oscar for that! BTW, why don't you just merge the different lists into one by year, it makes it much easier to follow. Also I don't see the point in adding a massive gallery in which you have to scroll down for a few minutes to get to the next section! Just do an image for best film of the year by section or something!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:17, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: I've been thinking about that and I'll refurbish the list tmrw. Have Bicycle Thieves and Marketa Lazarova lined up tmrw.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 17:23, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure you'll like Marketa Lazarova. It's not so obvious as some of the others in terms of a brilliant script. The focus should be largely on the cinematography and music when watching it, the feeling it evokes, much like Tarkovsky's films. The special thing I guess is that you feel like you've literally gone back in a time machine to the 13th century. The nearest is Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev (film). It's a medieval epic of a kind though, but no worries if it's not your cup of tea! You might not be ready for Czech New Wave yet but I might be wrong! Good review here, "totally blew me a way" is a good description! The guy says the same thing as me about the time machine at 6:30 ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:27, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

As for Gun Crazy, Bonnie and Clyde seem to be heavily inspired by it. I saw snippets of Marketa Lazarova on YouTube and liked the cinematography. I thought of giving it a look. Saw Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House today. Was it really funny? "Yeaahhpp". Harry Shannon was funny! So was Douglas.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 17:45, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Yes, you're completely right, I thought the same thing! Your list is looking ten times better now BTW!!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:36, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Thank you! BTW, I'd also recommend you to watch Lassie Come Home (1943) and This Sporting Life (1963) if you haven't caught up with them yet.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 03:55, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I was actually planning on watching some of Elizabeth Taylor's early films very soon. Surprised you've seen This Sporting Life. Lindsay Anderson's if.... is unbeatable though :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:17, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: I'm surprised you haven't seen High Noon and Mogambo yet?  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 08:14, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Of course I've seen them. I think I didn't include them originally because my list began as a strict great film list and I didn't think either were particularly great. Good but High Noon is an overrated western. They're both certainly worth adding in the "good" unboldened category though.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:56, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Righto. Watching High Noon now. Cooper's going great so far.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 10:02, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

It's a good film but one of the greatest ever? No way. Shane (1953) or even The Big Country (1958) are superior westerns IMO. Grace Kelly is lovely to look at it in it though!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:04, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Mogambo IMO is a bit of a mess, Gable is top notch and made the film what it is, but you could tell it was a difficult production, the actors looked stressed out and pissed off which I think affects the film in places.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:13, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Gable, Kelly, Gardner and the look of the film was good enough for me to give it the full monty (Gardner's lovely in it too). Kelly's lovely in every film she's in, though (especially in colour). Salma Hayek could've done the Ramirez girl role, if she were born then.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 10:15, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I don't know what was great about the film though...♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:20, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Gardner looked her hottest I think in Pandora and the Flying Dutchman♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:23, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Since I mentioned four points for Mogambo, I've given it four stars now.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 10:31, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey, don't let my opinion of it influence you. If you thought it was worth the "epic!" rating go for it. We don't necessarily have to agree on all films. I don't with Loeba. The Jungle Book for instance, while a charming film, I'd never think that a better film for 1967 than films like In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner or Le Samourai but you obviously loved it. It's your list, not mine! If you didn't think as highly of a film as me or thought it worse I'm not going to call you out on it haha! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:43, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Sometimes it's a good idea to see a film again. I thought Citizen Kane, Casablanca and 2001 Space overrated on first viewing. Best Years of Our Lives and You Can't Take It With You quite boring upon first viewing. Both won Oscars. Neither are on my list. I intend watching them again and am sure I will view them more favourably next time!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:58, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Haha, No, LOL. Same case of Jungle Book is Lady and the Tramp. It's the best English film of 1955 IMO. Since I've joined 'em all, Pather Panchali tops the list. Don't worry, it's not about influence. Mogambo is quite charming, hence I gave it 5/5. But I figured I did overrate it quite a bit, so I've given it 4/5 now. As for viewing more favourably next time, Ferris Bueller and 2001 were underrated if you'd remember. I watched them again and did view it favourably and increase the rating.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:05, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

There you go. Now Ferris Bueller for me is one of the most brilliant comedies for me, easily top 50 greatest film material.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:08, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Try watching The Rose Tattoo, I love it! Anna Magnani won the Oscar for Best Actress for it and you'll see why ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:09, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Will do, doc. You too watch my recommendations on your talk page (The "Indian films" part).  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:25, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Despite your age, you seem to have seen and liked many R-rated films, especially those by Quentin Tarantino. I'd suggest you watch Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, both Kill Bills and The Hateful Eight when it comes. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:21, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: X-rated ones too (A Clockwork Orange). Ones by Scorsese too (excessive profane language is probably the reason for the ratings). Tarantino's films are often shown on TV (Sony PIX, especially).  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:25, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Jackie Brown is Tarantino's best IMO after Pulp Fiction.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:52, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

"By contrast, John Wayne told an interviewer that he considered High Noon "the most un-American thing I've ever seen in my whole life".[19] In 1959, Wayne teamed up with director Howard Hawks to make Rio Bravo as a conservative response. "I made Rio Bravo because I didn't like High Noon," Hawks explained." -and he succeeded too. Rio Bravo is one of my favourite westerns. Have watched it on DVD at least five times!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:21, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

If you're having an early 30s run make sure you see Boudu Saved From Drowning and The Public Enemy.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:44, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Films - Doc's recommendations

Make sure you see Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity and LA Confidential as soon as you can!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:18, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Saw Taxi Driver and Double Indemnity today. Both were great! 5/5 for both. I especially liked Double Indemnity. Superb film! I bet the film would have made old Hitchcock think (despite his letter of appreciation to Wilder as mentioned in the film's article), "Why Billy Wilder? Why not me?" lol. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 10:30, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Yeah Double Indemnity is one of those Hitchcock wished he'd made for sure. Watch Shadow of a Doubt next! Or Sunset Boulevard, remember I rank Sunset as the fourth greatest film of all time :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:08, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: I already did watch it 4 days ago. 5/5 for that too. It was really a well-made film from Hitchcock. Sunset's up next along with Roman Holiday. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:11, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

That reminds me, if you like Sunset Boulevard, see What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962 film) after it, it's like Sunset Boulevard 2. Both are quite extraordinary!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:15, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Will sure do, Doc! — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:16, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

I believe Sunset and Baby Jane are also among Krimuk90's favourites!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:18, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Oh, yes absolutely. Love both of them!! --Krimuk|90 (talk) 11:20, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Finished watching LA Confidential just now. A gripping high-octane film! Thanks for recommending it, doc! Loved it! — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:46, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

How badass was James Cromwell in it??♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:21, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Yes he was quite marvellous i.e. badass in it! A surprise twist in his character! I also liked Crowe's and Pearce's performances a lot. Sunset and Baby Jane are next. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:46, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Shanghai Noon, yeah I rated that one extraordinarily highly I suppose, but it's one of those films which are extremely enjoyable and actually brilliantly made!♦ Dr. Blofeld 05:21, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: The name of the Marshal, Nathan Van Cleef, is undoubtedly a play on the name of the actor, Lee Van Cleef, who appears in Parts 2 and 3. Chan and Wilson made a very good combination and its also the 2nd film I watched in theatres after Titanic. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:31, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Indeed. Do watch Few Dollars More and GBU when you can! I know you like "epic" films, Once Upon a Time in the West there's a scene in which the camera pans out above the railway station and with the music it's just breathtaking. It's about 20 minutes into the film I think, I'd vote that the most beautiful moment in film history, it's quite extraordinary. Also highly recommended is Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (film), which has some of the finest acting ever committed to screen!♦ Dr. Blofeld 05:35, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Omar Sharif

@Dr. Blofeld, Kailash29792, Krimuk90, Vensatry, Pavanjandhyala, and Prhartcom: By now, I guess you would have heard the news. Really quite heartbreaking. RIP, Mr. Omar Sharif and thank you for your wonderful performances. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:23, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Heartbreaking. The day when India's biggest motion picture was released, one of my favourite performers left this world. His performance in Mackenna's Gold, along with its cinematography, were the only redeeming factors of that otherwise absurd stuff. RIP! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:33, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Pavan, more than Mackenna's Gold, it's really Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago that are his best films. The latter is quite dragging in parts. However, the former should not be missed. One minute, his character hates Lawrence, the next minute, he admires him. In both cases, he stands by his side. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:41, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

I saw Dr. Zhivago on TV. It was a good film, though the first half could have been better. Believe me, i planned to watch The Ten Commandments and Lawrence of Arabia at a time since the last week. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:48, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Do watch them asap! Both are epic films. To me, the former shows why DeMille is DeMille and the latter really brings out David Lean at his very best. If you really want to see Lean at his best, see this film. It inspired this man to enter filmdom. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:55, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Interesting. Will surely watch them. Can't promise ASAP, but within a reasonable time due to a few personal commitments, Godavari Pushkaram and Baahubali on July 13. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:58, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, another legend has passed ;-( One of my favourite roles of his was in Funny Girl with Streisand. Actually I think I rate Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, Brief Encounter and Ryan's Daughter above Bridge. Ryan's Daughter might be my personal favourite, but Zhivago and Lawrence are his best. BTW Ssven, if you're into the old silents, watch A Dog's Love, The '?' Motorist, Upside Down; or, the Human Flies and The Phantom Carriage. The latter is eerie as hell.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:40, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

You can watch the Phantom Carriage here, has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. BTW can you consider putting your film list in year order? Films are films, and I think it's better to have them all in one by year than alphabetical.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:59, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Watched Upside Down today. It was really imaginative! I also loved Boxing Kangaroo. Hilarious even today! — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 08:49, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

The '?' Motorist

@Dr. Blofeld: Thanks Doc! It's great! Especially duping the court members at the last part! Watching A Fistful of Dollars right now! Great start! Four men killed by Eastwood! Really badass! Pow, pow, pow and pow! — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:41, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

"My mule don't like people laughing" ;-) They get better as the trilogy progresses! After the Trilogy, you may as well watch Leone's other films Once Upon a Time in the West, Fistful of Dynamite and Once Upon a Time in America, all masterpieces.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:32, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Glad you like Fistful, Few Dollars and GBU are even better :-).♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:43, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Behindwoods visitor columns

After your recent edits in Server Sundaram, I wanted to say this: I am not sure whether visitor columns satisfy WP:RS, as Behindwoods clearly states often like they did here, "Behindwoods.com isn't responsible for the views expressed by the visitor in this column. The visitor claims that this column is his/her own." If it is a plot detail, I think you can include a DVD reference as a replacement. The popular dialogue also appears here.

Talk:Anushka Sharma

Hi Ssven- in case you haven't seen, someone's gone ahead and (tried to) renominate this article. I've cleaned up the nomination, but I don't know whether a speedy close (or some other kind of action- I saw you mention sockpuppetry...) might be necessary. Just letting you know so that you can do something (or explain to me/someone else what needs doing) if necessary. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:27, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

@J Milburn: The sockpuppetry I referred to is this. As for the article, a speedy close as of now should do. After that, a copyedit (preferably by a GOCE member) should be done. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 17:37, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Baahubali

You saw it? I saw it twice and loved it so so much. Really I was blown away. I have neither seen Magadheera nor Eega, but after this S.S.Rajamouli is one of my favorite directors. All the actors were great, but Ramya Krishnan steals the show. I didnt thought I would like it so much. The music was again a brilliant addition to the film along with the mind boggling cinematography, art direction and VFX. The VFX in two scenes felt very fake that's due to fast frame rate in avalanche scene, But as whole it was by far the best vfx used in indian film. Now, I can't wait for the sequel.—Prashant 05:07, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: I have heard that it's a really good film, but I prefer to wait for the Home media (DVD and Blu-ray) release. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:09, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Why dude? Watching a film in a theatre is a different experience. I recommend you to watch it ASAP.—Prashant 05:10, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: Well, since it has been in the news for the right reasons, I'll definitely do so. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:15, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Yeah. For all right reasons. Everyone is giving it 4 to 5 stars. I am sure The Conclusion will pass all the expectation as well. I want to watch it again.—Prashant 05:20, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

To clarify your comment Prashant, watching a movie in HD on my Samsung Smart TV provides the real different experience. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:46, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Got it. But, i still love watching films in theatre. I enjoy so much that I watch the same film more than 5 times, to say the least.—Prashant 09:02, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Enthiran genres

I should have done this a long time ago: In this article, Sudhish Kamath calls Enthiran a blend of genres: "Enthiran is simultaneously a superhero film, a sci-fi adventure, a triangular love story with a hint of the Ramayana (the villain even compares the abducted heroine Sana to Sita) and the message Shankar is known to churn out." How would you suggest adding the info on the genres into the themes section? Kailash29792 (talk) 07:55, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

I thought you had watched the film as I found some of the great ones on your list. Since you haven't watched it, I recommend you do this. This movie is just ... amazing! Do watch it. -- Frankie _talk 16:07, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

RIP MSV

@Kailash29792, Pavanjandhyala, Krimuk90, Vensatry, and Dr. Blofeld: Legends after legends are passing away. Just when the shocking news of Omar Sharif's death arrived, this happens!. RIP sir for all the evergreen songs you have given us. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:36, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

I can't understand why you kept a smiley after RIP. Well, MSV's had an illustrious career, lively and immortal compositions and above all, an unmatched legacy. The suffering he had in his final days, it is better he left the world. Anyways, i wish his soul may rest in peace. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 05:57, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

The source says he composed music for over 1700 films. You think so? —Vensatry _(ping) 06:50, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: The smiley, in this case, symbolically shows that legends never die and that they are fondly remembered by all and live on in the hearts of millions. BTW, Vensatry, I don't think he would have composed music for 1700 films, but maybe he might have for a 1000 films, including those with Ramamoorthy. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:06, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Even 1000 seems too high. I guess it must be somewhere around 500-600. —Vensatry _(ping) 08:41, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

A small behind-the-scene story. Once, i was updating this page and an ex-wikipedian asked me, "are you aiming for something good?". When i asked her to make it clear, she asked "GA?". I said yes. She then went on to say that i could have chosen either Julai or Race Gurram if you want to bring an Allu Arjun-starrer to GA status instead of S/O Satyamurthy. I did this actually for Upendra actually since i failed to gather info about this one properly (i didn't say this to her because she was a staunch fan of Arjun and had mixed feelings on Upendra for this). I just gave a smile and walked out. This happened before you asked me to watch that film. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:41, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Interesting story! Well, I'm glad Uppi and Arjun got one GA to their credits. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:51, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

We both gave Arjun a GA already. This is Upendra's first i believe. BTW, is this of any use to one of your GAs? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 08:37, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Chandramukhi

Content :

• During the success meet of Mannan, Rajinikanth announced that he would act in the 50th film produced by Sivaji Productions.

• On 1 October 2014, Rajinikanth announced his next film at Sivaji Ganesan's residence to the media which would be produced by Ramkumar Ganesan under the banner Sivaji Productions.

• After watching Apthamitra in theatres at Bangalore, Rajinikanth chose to walk out from K. S. Ravikumar's Jaggu Bhai to act in the former's Tamil remake. He informed P. Vasu on phone that he is interested in remaking Apthamitra. When Vasu was skeptical, Rajinikanth adamantly said that we are doing this film, which reminded Vasu the dialogue "Naan oru thadava sonna, nooru thadava sonna madhiri" from Baashha.

• Rajinikanth asked Vasu to change the dancer's name from Nagavalli to Chandramukhi since the latter sounded more royal. While Vishnuvardhan uttered "Haula Haula" in the original, Rajinikanth used "Lakka Lakka", which was the mannerism of a villain in a Marathi play he watched in his childhood.

• During the National Film Awards ceremony, Shobana suggested Gavara Parthasarathi to remake Manichitrathazhu in Telugu. The latter felt that it was a risky subject and dropped the plans. V. N. Aditya planned to remake Manichitrathazhu in Telugu with Chiranjeevi reprising Mohanlal. The remake did not materialise. Later, Parthasarathi along with P. Karunakar Reddy and S. Ramesh Babu dubbed Chandramukhi into Telugu with the same title.

Rest is your call.

BB

Did you watched Bajrangi Bhaijaan? Well, I did and was so much bored in the first few minutes that it made Twilight series a better franchise. I went thinking that the film will be good if not brilliant going by the trailers and trust me this awful piece of mind numbing film made me sick (I dont rate a Salman Khan film by a diiferent parameter that it is a salman khan film like critics does). That awful acting by the cast and crap story-screenplay failed to made me cry like what critics said. Its so sad that a film like this has affected the brilliant Baahubali. That one scene (Kattapa touching Baahubali leg with his head) made me teary eyed than this entire film.—Prashant 05:36, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: Nope. I haven't watched BB yet and nowadays, Sallu's films are quite crappy from what I see on TV (Sony MAX, Filmy, Zee Cinema etc.). So, I'm giving BB a miss. As for Baahubali, what you say is quite true. The touching of the leg is influenced by this. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:44, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I mean this is ridiculous that critics have rated this Indian TV Serial like film with 2.5 andd 3 stars. I went coz I though this might be good. But trust me I don't believe Indian critics now. Ek Tha Tiger (By Kabir Khan with Salman) was not brilliant bu still it was okay with a beautiful soundtrack. This was like so much fake. I dont think such character exits, who doesn't even have idea of a Brothel in a red light area. This was like PK meets dumb story-direction-acting (Kareena was good in her part). It is a joke of a film and I felt being fooled in those 3 hrs.—Prashant 05:52, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: If you notice in Baahubali, there are some scenes that are inspired/influenced and are beautifully shown on-screen. Here a few examples.

• Prabhas carrying the Shiva Linga — Similar to the story of Raavan carrying the Atmalinga of Gokarna.
• Ramya Krishnan breast-feeding the two infants — Possibly influenced by The She-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus.
• Enmity between Baahubali and Bhallala Deva — Pandavas and Kauravas.

— Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:04, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Oh! I didn't know. Thanks!—Prashant 06:54, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) DYK, that when Rajamouli was making Magadheera, his father told him the traits of a character called Kattapa which made him decide to take up Baahubali? Anyways, i too watched Bajrangi Bhaijaan and, i could not connect to it because of this. Ssven, i strictly recommend not to give it a watch except for the song "Bhar do Joli Meri". Coming to Baahubali, the best emotional sequence IMHO was when Baahubali motivates his soldiers to fight back against Kalakeya after the flag is hosted. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:28, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Yeah that was a nice scene. But you know that scene in the beginning when Ramya holds the infant in her hand in the river was so rich and so much beautiful. That scene and its color palette gave me a goosebump and it alarms the viewer that how amazing this movie is going to be.—Prashant 06:54, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Of course. That sequence was narrated to Rajamouli by Prasad eight years ago. While it was just for something else, that sequence stayed with Rajamouli for a long time. Magadheera happened and it was supposed to be the bond between a queen and her soldier to whom the former was a motherly figure (i guess it was Kattappa). Rajamouli changed it to a love story between a warrior, princess and her cousin to explore human emotions and dynamics in a better way. The sequence you are talking about (related to Ramya) was shot here if you can spot it right. And, the child was an 18 day old girl actually. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 07:02, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Yeah! I have read that interview of Rajamouli in which he tells about Kattapa and Shivgami Devi. And it was the place where that scene was shot, the waterfall is so beautiful. I can't really wait for The Conclusion.—Prashant 07:17, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Would you please take a look here. Thanks.—Prashant 18:13, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

No reply?—Prashant 10:13, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Baahubali beats Enthiran

The former is now the highest grossing South Indian movie, with over ₹300 crore earnings and beating Enthiran. But that is from all the language versions of the movie. How does it still deserve to be called the highest grossing Tamil movie? I doubt if that version alone could have collected so much. Pavan, what do you think?

Yes, so I see, but I'd be very surprised if somebody like Prashant would really cause Krimuk to quit.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:04, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

I don't know whether it is truly permanent, but his last edit shows that he was completely frustrated. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:07, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala and Dr. Blofeld: I do hope he comes back soon. He's a good editor and has done a lot for Wikipedia. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:10, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Not just us, NeilN and Skr15081997 are also expecting the same. And, his reply was This isn't just for drama. I'm serious about this. Life has been cruel to me the last couple of days, and I think this was the final straw. I don't think I can deal with this hate anymore. I know you guys mean well, but I really cannot get back into this vicious cycle again. The encyclopedia will function better without hypocrite twats like me.

@Prashant!: Great. I'll place some comments tomorrow. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:42, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

I have reverted your edit regarding the box-office gross. Actually, the current sources from BOI contradicts itself. They reported a complete different figure during its release and is different now. They reported the film opened to 7.5 crore, but now in the film aticle on BOI, it is mentioned 8.5 crore. They earlier said weekend was 27.5 crore but now it shows 29.88 crore. Earlier the one week collection was 41 crore and now it became 45 crore. And, if the collection increased by 5 crore in week one only how the gross decreased? They said gross was 94 crore but now the gross is 86 crore? That's why I have kept the previous datas.—Prashant 02:59, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

I have reverted your edit and have expained on Yash's talk page.—Prashant 07:22, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Hey! Are you willing to continue the review as it has been two days but there is nothing to do for me. I'm sure you are giving it as many reads as you can. Right? I like your deep reviews though.—Prashant 08:47, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

He was one of the few Indian presidents who made a difference and was truly loved by all Indians despite his religion. Even during his final moments, he had wings of fire and ignited minds. Kailash29792 (talk) 18:11, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Kalidas FAC

I have nominated this article for FAC. Please place your comments here if you have any. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:15, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

From this new source, I added this statement: "Irani was initially unsure if the German sound recording equipment would record the Tamil language. To clear his doubts, he had some actors speak and sing in Tamil, Venkatesan in Telugu and because the equipment had already recorded Hindi before, he had other actors speak Hindi; the equipment recorded all the three languages clearly." Do you find this well written? Kailash29792 (talk) 06:51, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Drishyam

I can't believe this, i've never loved a remake. But this film is an exception (maybe the original is as brilliant as this, haven't seen). I wonder why south indian filmmakers are always ten step ahead of Bollywood? This thriller really knows how to thrill and trust me i have never used my brain so much during a film because i wanted to know what;s gonna happen next. This was a real edge of the seat thriller. Ajay Devgan should stop making Singhams and Golmaals, as he is a great actor and proves this yet again. Shriya Sharan was brilliant and Tabu (my god) delivers a Blockbuster performance. Now i need to watch the original film.—Prashant 17:34, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: Mohanlal did a brilliant job in the original. Only because the subject was great, Kamal Haasan and Venkatesh decided to remake the film in Tamil and Telugu respectively. However, beware! Once you watch the original, no remake would appeal to you and i personally feel that the Tamil one stood close in terms of overall brilliance (same director) followed by Telugu and Kannada versions (one thing notable is that the latter two are the shortest versions of the original). Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:24, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Well, i have ordered the film's DVD (Original film) online and would watch tommorrow. But, i am damm sure i will still like the Hindi version as well, maybe because of language. I almost cried in the scene when that guy blackmails Anju and then agree to leave her after telling her mother to give the same thing he wanted from Anju.—Prashant 09:33, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: But at the same time, it is a moment of triumph when the hero walks out of the police station in the climax, isn't it? I saw a standing ovation in a single screen where i watched the Telugu version where people were cheering the hero by calling his name during the climax scene where he walks out indicating the dead body in the station. This wasn't seen even for other acclaimed Telugu films like Eega, Manam and Baahubali: The Beginning in single screens. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:52, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Yeah! the climax was very strong and let me tell you people were clapping and cheering (me too) for the family, in the second half. People were roting for our hero, her wife and both daughters. I heard a huge round of applause in the end and that says everything. Someone committed a crime but that that person was no criminal and that was the key. Audience understood that and were so much hooked till the end. As far as the Standing ovation is concerned, I haven't seen Eega nor Manam and for Baahubalii, people didn't gave a standing ovation because the film ended on a cliffhanger, the best in an Indian film i have seen. The end was so shocking that people got goosebumps, thanks to the visuals and the haunting background score.—Prashant 10:26, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant!: The Hindi version screenplay has been altered a bit in the case of Drishyam, if TOI spoiler goes according to the screenplay. Nevertheless, i am damn sure you will enjoy the original. I heard a few saying that none of the south versions had a lead pair with "scuplted" bodies unlike Devgan and Saran. Don't you think this is something too much? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 10:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes! Devgan and Saran look very fit in the film. But i don't have any problem with that because now-a-days people are very fitness concious, this might be a reason in the film (never given though). But i think that no one really prepared for the film in terms of their looks since its a small film.—Prashant 10:49, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes. Not preparing in terms of looks would also make them look realistic and natural for films of these nature. And Ssven2, why don't you too join this discussion when you have the time to correct Prashant's error here? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 11:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

What i mean is that nobody gave a shit for preparations for the film. They just went and shot the film and that is the filmmaker's mistake as he was in hurry to shoot and subsequently release the film. For perfact look, they would have to put on some weight and i think they didn't want to do that.—Prashant 11:08, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

I was talking about the southern versions, Prashant. Frankly, Saran looks too young to play a mother of two kids, with the elder one being almost a plus two student. You can observe the variations when Tabu and Saran are together in a scene. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 11:12, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes, she is. The elder child was adopted by her husband much before their marriage as reasons given in the film. So this justifies.—Prashant 11:29, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

@Prashant! and Pavanjandhyala: Prashant, I'm glad you got the DVD of the original. Do watch it. Mohanlal really gave it his best in it. Pavan, I agree that Saran looks too young for a mother's role. The makers could have chosen Kajol herself. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:32, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Without having seen any of the versions (including the original), I watched Papanasam some two weeks ago. I think the Tamil version had slight changes. Many said it was close to the original. Kamal's performance was really good, but not a patch on his performances in Moondram Pirai and Mahanadi. As for the Hindi version, I'm not convinced with Devgan and Shriya though the former is good actor. When I came to know that Tabu was chosen to do the IG role, I thought it was a perfect choice. Her physique is one more plus. I'm not a fan of Mohanlal, but he perfectly fits into these kinda "common man" roles. Since he has done similar roles in many of his earlier films, Drishyam was a cakewalk for him. —Vensatry _(ping) 13:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Why Vensatry? You want SRK and Kajol to do the job, eh? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

As the lead pair? Kajol (as Ssven2 pointed out) and Devgan would do :) —Vensatry _(ping) 14:43, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

If made 15 years ago, Anil Kapoor would've been a good choice for the male lead. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:49, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

And, Dimple Kapadia as the female lead? —Vensatry _(ping) 16:09, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Bang On! Who would be the ideal choice for the IG then? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:41, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

As I said earlier, I cannot think of any actress other than Tabu. —Vensatry _(ping) 17:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Upendra 2

Hi Ssven! Hope that you are doing well. I was actually to your films seen page today to find some good Tamil films to watch. There, i saw an edit where you described Upendra as Indian cinema's Stanley Kubrick. I don't know what to say, but his latest release made me restless, mainly for its theme — if you are not "now here", you can be "no where". What made me more restless is that the fate of the protagonist of the prequel is not yet concluded. What a crazy guy he is! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:33, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: That he is crazy, there's no doubt, LOL. The common thing between those two (Uppi and Kubrick) is their vivid imagination and creativity. While Kubrick uses his imagination purely for filmmaking purposes (barring 2001 which shows man's thirst for knowledge), Upendra uses his imagination to point out the social evils in our country. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:38, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Of course, but can you imagine that he becomes a naive youth representing the "present", an aghori, an undercover cop and a person representing "I" at a time in strange getups, all because to explain the concept of "now here"? Moreover, the end titles come first, the opening credits come last. I expected Uppi 2 to be different from Upendra, but it was so different that audience whistle at the cutout at the theatre shows Uppi in a Sirsasana. Phew! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:46, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Anyways, suggest some good ones, definitely not "Old is gold" type. Your list is maniacally long. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:55, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Thiruvilaiyadal is a really good start if you haven't seen it. Here is the YouTube link with English subtitles. This film is one of the best and sadly, underrated at its time of release. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:02, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

I saw Anbe Sivam, i loved it despite its length and inconsistency. I shall try to watch Thiruvilaiyadal for sure, as i have been hearing something good about it in the recent past. Any thing else? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 07:04, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Kannathil Muthamittal, Friends (especially the first half), Emmtan-Magan, Abhiyum Naanum, Mozhi, Mynaa, Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom, Kullanari Koottam, Ko are all worth watching. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:09, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

I've watched a few of them in the past. Now, i am left with Emmtan-Magan and Kullanari Koottam. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 07:40, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Do watch Emmtan-Magan and Kullanari Koottam asap. Both have good messages in them (Emmtan-Magan — Family is important, and Kullanari Koottam — Corruption in selection of Police officers. For this Independence Day, the latter is a better choice). — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:43, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Sure Ssven. But, i do not believe in the concept of independence of a country. IMHO, this is an era of globalisation and every country has to be dependent on other ones, including the United Kingdom. Where is the question of independence? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 07:50, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Sivaji's award and Nasser

What an irony. This article reads, "When Sivaji went to receive the Afro-Asian award in Cairo, the Egyptian President Nasser had gone abroad. So, he made a request that if Nasser ever visited India, he must spend time with him." But this one says that Nasser presented him with the award during the festival.

Dr. Blofeld is currently working on it with We Hope, This is Paul and 78.26 to take it to TFA. So, I have moved it up now. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 14:39, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

So, planning it for the December of next year? -- Frankie _talk 14:46, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

@FrB.TG: Here is the TFA page for Enthiran. Feel free to leave comments. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 14:48, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I will be upset if the 5th anniversary of Enthiran knocks out the 20th anniversary of DDLJ from being a TFA. BollyJeff | talk 15:20, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

@Bollyjeff: Why on Earth? Enthiran's TFA is on 1st and DDLJ is on 20th. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:22, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

They will probably say it is too soon to have film articles only 19 days apart. That's why they ask for the date of the most recent similar article. I don't know how soon is too soon though. BollyJeff | talk 15:25, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

@Bollyjeff: Hopefully, fingers crossed, an exception can be made in this case as both are first-timers at TFA. If it wasn't for Sinatra, I would have gone with 12 December. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:27, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I think Enthiran's TFA can wait. But it is necessary to have DDLJ's TFA this year itself as it will turn 20 years old. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:29, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: You're right! DDLJ is a more important film. How do you withdraw the request then if that's the case? Maybe I can move it to a nonspecific date for now. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:30, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Just ask, and I think it will be done. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:35, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

List of accolades received by Dookudu

I've finally completed my work on this list which is supposed to be my first FLC aim (after shelving Magadheera FLC plans due to lack of sources). And as far as c/e goes, Magadheera's list was c/ed by the veteran copy-editor Baffle gab1978 in just four edits upon a request at GOCE. This list's lead section is almost a remake of Magadheera's list. So, kindly give your opinion whether this list is ready for being nominated as a FLC. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:14, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: I would also like you to add an infobox for the list like the ones I did for Enthiran and Aadukalam as this is an awards list. The one without the infpbox is usually for a filmography list. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:32, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Accepted, but i find an infobox almost useless in such cases as long as the lead section summarises the content in the list. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 11:38, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: I too had the same feeling but during the FLC of Enthiran, one of the reviewers requested me to insert an infobox based on other accolades lists. That's why I asked you to insert an infobox. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:43, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Aasai Mugam

Bonjour,Ssven2,

J'ai procédé à quelques petits changements, (Sur le film tamoul AASAI MUGAM) rien de méchant en soi, les acteurs, où ils sont suivis d'un numéro, un lien externe de wikipedia, car il n'existe pas encore de page à leurs noms. Donc, je les renvoie sur un site tamoul très fourni, très complet, très sérieux, intitulé Antru Kanda Mugam (antrukandamugam.wordpress.com). Je vous conseille d'y aller jeté un coup d'oeil, ne serait-ce que par curiosité, si vous n'êtes pas allé, bien sûr ! Ferdinand LACOUR.

Discussion at Veera Dheera Sooran tp

Read your long reply at Veera Dheera Sooran's tp. Let me tell you something. It is not at all wrong to choose actors/actresses from other industries and regions. Kamal Haasan refers himself as an Indian actor, not Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam etc., because anywhere you are going to act. If you call language as a barrier, Telugu cinema could have missed Geethanjali, Ye Maya Chesave and Manam, Malayalam cinema could have missed Amitabh Bachchan in their films.

I mentioned that the female lead role is written horribly, that was a remark on the director. In Pandiya Naadu, the cinematography, music and editing were good, esp. second half. Scenes towards the end, in the market where Vishal has to save Bharathiraja were excellent. But, that song after Menon visits Vishal's office is not at all required. I sincerely don't know why all praised Gautham Menon for Jessie, she's a confused soul in all ways, weak like a twig. Same is the case of Maya and Nithya in Kaakha Kaakha and Neethaane En Ponvasantham. Similar is the case of your Indian Stanley Kubrick's directorials. Accepted that his situation was worse towards the end, but is all the torture Surya gave to Chandini in A's first half justifiable?

I don't know what a strong female character means, but i don't want a fragile glass piece that either shivers or just glitters throughout a film. PS : I and Vensatry really had some long discussion what made the jury award Haasan for Race Gurram. I have no complaints with any of the actresses you mentioned, but i personally feel that Samantha has stopped hamming in the recent past and i find her more tolerable now. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 08:26, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Personally I would rate the character of Aradhana of Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu higher than Maya for Jo b'cos it offered her more scope for acting especially when she quarrels with her husband who's about to divorce her and also in her scenes with Daniel Balaji whe she's bound and gagged. Yeah, I guess Samantha's more tolerable now. I liked her in Naan Ee though. It had a meaty role for her. A strong female character essentially should have equal screen space like her male counterpart. Revathi in Mouna Ragam, Sridevi in 16 Vayathinile, Padmini in Thillana Mohanambal, Savithri in Pasamalar and our very own Mayabazar. Among the recent ones, Meena in Drishyam and its Telugu remake and Rima Kalingal in 22 Female Kottayam for instance. These are some examples. BTW, you are right about not wanting a fragile piece there. There are more glitters than shivers though, LOL. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 08:36, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

I find Asha Sharath playing a better complex character than Meena in Drishyam. And, if you call Mayabazar as a film with strong female lead, i will shoot you with a gun. It was the dumbest character Savithri played back those days after Missiamma. She is a pucca glass piece, all the "strength" was Ghatotkacha. Call Savithri a great performer and i agree with no second thought, don't call Sasirekha a strong character. Miss Mary was a headache to say the least. If i were M. T. Rao, i would've revealed the truth to the zamindar well before and could've dumped her for good. Samantha had a very long character in S/O Satyamurthy. Did she performed well, uh, Yes. But was it a character with substance? No! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 08:55, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: The talk about "shoot you with a gun" kinda reminds me of this punk Well, I actually meant that Savithri's performance in the film was good. Sasirekha/Vatsala wasn't a strong character agreed but her performance in the climax was, to me, very good. But, IMO Pasamalar was her best. Do watch it if you haven't! — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:01, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

That's why i called Savithri a strong performer. I watched both Pasamalar and its Telugu remake Rakta Sambandham. She did very well in both the films matching herself to the local sensibilities. I've watched only six films of Ganesan till date : Parasakthi (Telugu dub), Thiruvilaiyadal, Navarathri, Pasamalar, Veerapandiya Kattabomman (Telugu dub) and Padayappa (Telugu dub). Only Andha Naal is left. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:14, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala:Andha Naal is a really good film and is worth watching. Other films of Ganesan I would recommend you to watch would be Pava Mannippu, Kappalottiya Thamizhan, Kai Koduttha Deivam (Savithri rocks in this one too!), Puthiya Paravai, Saraswathi Sabatham, Thiruvarutchelvar, Thillana Mohanambal and Mudhal Mariyathai. Have you also seen any of MGR's films too? — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:19, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Not yet. Wanted to watch Aayirathil Oruvan, but i couldn't. Thus, Ganesan's films were the earliest Tamil films i watched. After that, i used to watch Rajinikanth's films with family and Kamal Haasan's films in solo. Once, my friend came when i was watching a mad Sridevi in Moondram Pirai. He left briefly only to return during the climax where she saw Haasan imitating Sridevi. He just said "Huh, vidhi vilasam. Piccidaanni preminci vade piccodayyadu. Idhi chusina nuvvu oka piccodivi." (Fate's play. He turned mad after falling in love with a mad girl. You are mad enough to watch such things). This was a friend, imagine my family's respect for Kamal Haasan. Nayakan, Anbe Sivam and Aalavandhan made them hate him. Rajinikanth's gloomy films weren't dubbed in Telugu, so all those commercial films made them opine that Rajinikanth's films are full of positive energy always, turning them his fans.

Pedarayudu

While watching Annamalai (Rajinikanth and Sarath Babu) and its Telugu remake Kondapalli Raja (Venkatesh and Suman), i was reminded of a previous conversation where you spoke about Rajini's look and style in Pedarayudu similar to Annamalai. Did you watch the former completely, or it was just a random YouTube video? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 03:08, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: I have seen the former completely yes. Actually, his look and style are just about the same in almost every 1990s film he acted in (more so after Baashha). — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 04:33, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Is it mentioned in your list? I don't see it! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 04:52, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Look up under the 1992 sub-section of the Tamil films section. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 04:54, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Not there. Not there even under Other Indian films as well. And, was Pedarayudu had a Tamil dubbed release? I find it was Nattamai's remake. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 04:58, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: If it's Peddarayudu you were asking for, then it was a YouTube video. Don't know about the dubbed release though. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:00, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

I was speaking about Pedarayudu only. About Annamalai, i watched Kondapalli Raja first and came to know that it was a remake of Annamalai. I watched it with a perception that no major changes would be made. The major change was, drama starts when Annamalai turns old whereas Raja begins it after a single year of challenging his friend.

I was referring to all your edits today. However, these last edits [9] I don't agree with. Why did you remove "strict"? Someone who doesn't adhere to any rules is an anarchist; if Ambi were an anarchist, why would he expect someone like Nadini to even consider him? I thought it was that he was too rigid, or strict, in his adherence to rules (and expected everyone else to be the same) that annoyed Nadini. Unless I have misunderstood your description of the characters. Regarding the second edit, why did you change it back to the way it was? Is your version considered correct usage in Indian English? It isn't in standard [U.S.] English. "Accompanied her for registering"? She was the one who went to the office to register the property. Ambi only accompanied her, right? That's why I wrote "accompanied her as she registered the property". You could say, "accompanied her when she went to register the property". Corinne (talk) 01:44, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

@Corinne: What you have mentioned is correct yes. I actually wanted to bring the plot down to 700 words. Its currently at 702. So, that's the reason for the 2 edits. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 01:50, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Oh. Well, I'm glad you put those back the way they were. I'm now looking for a few words to cut. In this sentence, I had even thought earlier that I'd like to cut out some of the descriptive words:

• Frustrated at his inability to bring about a change in society, his suppressed anger manifests itself in an alter-ego named "Anniyan", a violent and deranged grim reaper-themed serial killer who punishes corrupt and indifferent people.

I'd like to take out "grim reaper-themed". I think that's unnecessary. Then it would read:

• Frustrated at his inability to bring about a change in society, his suppressed anger manifests itself in an alter-ego named "Anniyan", a violent and deranged serial killer who punishes corrupt and indifferent people.

I think the sentence reads (sounds) better. What do you think? Corinne (talk) 01:57, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

@Corinne: Actually, "grim-reaper" is necessary as he thinks of himself as Yama, the Harbinger/God of death, on Earth. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 02:01, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Well, then how about taking out "serial killer"?:

• Frustrated at his inability to bring about a change in society, his suppressed anger manifests itself in an alter-ego named "Anniyan", a violent and deranged grim reaper who punishes corrupt and indifferent people.

I took out "completely" before "oblivious". "Oblivious" is enough. You're either oblivious or you're not. There really is no half-way with obliviousness.

In the fourth paragraph in the section Anniyan#Plot you have this sentence:

• Following a dramatic publicity stunt, Anniyan appears amidst the public and the press at the Nehru Stadium.

What is the "dramatic publicity stunt"? (I know I added "dramatic" in an earlier edit; I think it was replacing another word that didn't sound right. But even then I wasn't sure what this was referring to.) Why mention this if you're not going to describe the publicity stunt? Or is his appearance in the stadium itself that is the publicity stunt? If so, then "Following" is the wrong word. It would then have to be "In a dramatic publicity stunt,..." Corinne (talk) 02:07, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

@Corinne: I've removed "violent and deranged" instead. Just "grim-reaper themed" is enough as it signifies both the adjectives. It now reads

• Frustrated at his inability to bring about a change in society, his suppressed anger manifests itself in an alter-ego named "Anniyan", a grim reaper themed serial killer who punishes corrupt and indifferent people.

"A grim reaper" or "a grim-reaper-themed"? I think the former is better. "Grim-reaper-themed" sounds odd when applied to a person. Corinne (talk) 02:37, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

@Corinne: I feel "grim reaper themed serial killer" is better as his actions are reminiscent of the grim reaper/Yama and his punishments are as per the Garuda Purana. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 02:41, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

As for the 4th paragraph, the sentence is now tweaked and rephrased. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 02:29, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

What's the "dramatic publicity stunt"? Just admitting to the murders, or appearing in a stadium, or both (together)? Does he admit to the murders while speaking to spectators at a sports event in the stadium? I don't understand the word "after" in that sentence. Wouldn't it be better to say "when he appears in the stadium" (or whatever it says there)? Corinne (talk) 02:43, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

@Corinne: Thanks for the suggestion. I've written "when he appears amidst the public and the press...". — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 04:22, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

I guess you can do something about it, i.e. add more info to the article from it. You can also help me solve the FAC comments I am unable to solve. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:25, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: I'll give it a go tomorrow and add any vital information that hasn't been added yet and help to resolve the FAC comments as well for you as much as I can.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:58, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Guys, i want to ask something and i want to voice something. Kailash, may i know why you can't read Tamil well? I mean, your mother tongue is given utmost importance during the schooling phase. Second, are you sure a reviewer of a FAC can edit/contribute to the article in such a major way? Before any of you two proceed, just ask yourself. Yours sincerely, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:12, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

20-0! Straight away pass from Jaguar. And, he too completes 100,000 edits today. A great day for him! Well, i want you to review either this or this after they are done with a c/e by the GOCE (Corinne has just completed the c/e for the first and the second is yet to complete its trade). Which one will you choose? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 01:16, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: I'll go for the first one.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:12, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm okay with that and i've nominated it now. But may i know why? Is it because the c/e is complete or because of the film's story, actors, technicians etc.? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 10:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Just wanted to conduct a review for you as it's been a while since I did a GA review for your article. I liked Nani's performance in Naan Ee and saw parts of Aaha Kalyanam (clippings on TV). So why not take up the review of one of his film's articles?  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 10:29, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Okay then. Commence the review. If you want to watch more of Nani, watch this two minute video. If that impresses, try to give the film a watch. If you love it, let me know and, also try to learn something. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 10:50, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Can you please help solve the remaining FAC comments by TrueHeartSusie3? Some of them I don't quite understand. The answers to most of her questions may be found in this source. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:41, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I'll be out of station for a few days. If you (or anyone) can help, that'd be great. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:24, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank You!

For the barnstar! :-) Sorry but I think you need to G-7 the screenshots from In the Heat of the Night. The copyright notice sneaks in at the end of the trailer at between 2:25 and 2:30. I know you didn't see it so no harm done. ;) We hope (talk) 12:26, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

@We hope: You're welcome. Great going with the images BTW. It was my first time uploading a non-Indian movie image. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 12:29, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

One thing to stay away from when working with trailers is viewing them at either Internet Archive or YouTube. I always go to either TCM or IMDB. Sometimes uploaders at YouTube and Internet Archive remove the copyright notices. We had some screenshots about a year ago that had to go because the uploader had gotten them from Internet Archive. There was no notice on the film trailer at the Archive, but when you viewed the trailer at both IMDB and TCM, both of them had copyright notices. We hope (talk) 12:48, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

By G-7 she means put the uploads up for speedy deletion as copyvios.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:44, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

@We hope: Done for all the four images. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 00:39, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! This {{Db-g7}} is the tag you need to use, though. We hope (talk) 00:58, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@We hope: Done with the tag you provided. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 01:00, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

To me it's better to do it this way than to have anyone else put them up as copyvios. If you want a laugh, I was told a file was to go for speedy deletion just a little while ago. When I looked at it, it was a photo of a private plane. I knew nothing about the photo; after untangling everything, found what I'd worked with was a photo of a Shakespearean actor circa 1905. I'd moved and redirected the photo because there was a plane photo at Commons with the same file name back in May. :D We hope (talk) 01:09, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@We hope: Well, C'est la vie, La-De-Da. Thanks for asking me to put up a deletion tag. It was my first time working on a Hollywood film article (be it actor or film). — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 01:13, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

I think it won't be long before you and Dr. B. will be rewarded for all your efforts with Rod Steiger. ;) We hope (talk) 01:39, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@We hope: Aww. Thanks. No wonder Doc's a friend of yours. Any friend of Doc's is a friend of mine. I have added you to my friends list. I just simply helped with the referencing and adding info about Steiger's denial in The Godfather. He could have tried out for Tattaglia or Tom Hagen instead of Michael. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 01:44, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Moodu Pani

This seems to have some useful information about the film, though its hard to read. Can you add it to the article? You can also find more Tamil sources using this site. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:57, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Translation — "During the re-recording of Moodu Pani's soundtrack, Ilaiyaraaja had fired his Keyboard player owing to the person's drinking behaviour. At that time, another one of his troupe members requested Ilaiyaraaja to meet up with a boy named Dilip (ARR) who knew how to play the keyboard. Ilaiyaraaja accepted the request and sent for Dilip and instructed him about the notes and tune he had to play. Dilip, under Ilaiyaraaja's supervision, successfully completed the re-recording process." — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:06, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Try to add one more para in the lead. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:32, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

I'll try to keep 4 paras in the lead if I can (Para 1: Intro and premise; Para 2: Behind the scenes; Para 3: Reception; Para 4: Legacy). Kailash29792 (talk) 07:33, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Looks ready for GA. Would you care to do the honours since you have edited and added the most amount of content to the article? It is a long time since you nominated an article for GA. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 12:29, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I will nominate it. But first I think these sources can be added: TNIE, Baradwaj Rangan and The Hindu. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:36, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: The TNIE reference doesn't seem that important so no need to include that. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 13:08, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: I have made a request to User:Corinne for the copyedit. After nomming the article for GA, I'll make a request to User:West Virginian to review it as he has experience reviewing Indian films too. He even wished to review an article I worked on just now. :-) — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 13:48, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

The article has been nominated. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:30, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

In the article, you included this ref as a whole, when it is actually a compilation of Balu Mahendra's posts. Can I request you to divide it so that it is more specific? Kailash29792 (talk) 11:43, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Done. Splitted.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:56, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

So kind of you . BTW, "split" is also used in past tense. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:58, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Anytime, brother. Thanks for that past-tense thing BTW.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 12:05, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

You recall that in this film, Chandru (Pratap) visits a psychiatrist to deal with his mental disorder? And that after Inspector Raghunath (Calcutta Viswanathan) captures him, he is incarcerated in a psychiatric hospital for life? In these cases, would the category Films set in psychiatric hospitals fit in the article? Just asking. I also feel Pratap was kind of a vigilante, killing immoral people (prostitutes), but still not regarded a hero by the law. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:30, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Yeah, you could include the category. As for Chandru, what he did was "Sattapadi Kuttram" (even though it involved killing immoral people), hence he was arrested and incarcerated in a psychiatric hospital for life. So, if that's the case then, it's more or less like Psycho, where Norman Bates is sent to a mental asylum. I still am getting startled and shudder when I think of the climax scene.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:37, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

In this Frontline article, which I have already used, the author says, "The characterisation of the protagonist, with flashes of wickedness bordering on perversion, was new to Tamil cinema because the viewers, at the end of it all, could not hate him." Where do you think it will it fit? "Production" or "Themes"? Kailash29792 (talk) 16:55, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Looks better in "Themes" section since it's the article's author who describes the character's nature and not Pothen himself.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 00:55, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Regarding your comment at the GAR — "Thanks. But some of the reviews are modern day ones. They still good here?" — Even Moondram Pirai's reviews are modern day ones (save the usual one — Ananda Vikatan).  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 13:37, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Because each reviewer has his own perspective of GAs. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:49, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Yeah, true that. Well, the article's passed.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 13:54, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Anniyan

The article Anniyan you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Anniyan for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Jaguar -- Jaguar (talk) 16:20, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

GAN page edit

For future reference, that page is maintained by a bot. In order to edit the notes on that page you have to edit the actual nomination. So you would have to go to Talk:Moodu Pani, edit the page, and remove the note inside the GAN template. It is alright to leave it however, since you notified the reviewer. The bot has put the note back as part of its maintenance. --Stabila711 (talk) 02:23, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Anniyan

The article Anniyan you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Anniyan for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Your repeated reviewing of the Tintin articles.

Ssven2, Please consider that it might be best if you were not always the one to review every single Tintin article up for GA. Prhartcom (talk) 00:20, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Why so? Will it amount to something on the lines of this, Prhartcom? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 02:09, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Not that. There's no policy behind my suggestion. It's just that this simply doesn't look very good. I would have thought this would be obvious and that I wouldn't have to mention it. I'm hoping Ssven2 will step back and give some uninvolved reviewers a chance to review for awhile. Prhartcom (talk) 02:21, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Simply speaking, let's break the monotony and give a chance to fresh ones for a while. Am i right? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 02:26, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Prhartcom: Righto, Prhartcom. Coincidentally, I too thought about the same. I was interested in the Moon volumes though, that's why I took up the reviews. I'll help in adding materials and resolving GA comments for future Tintin volumes.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 03:06, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

SVSC

If interested, can you review this for GA status? Yes or No, anything is acceptable! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 02:11, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: At present, I'm abstaining from reviews of any kind (GA, PR, FL, FA). With Explorers on the Moon, I'm done for now for a couple of months.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 03:08, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Okay then. All the best for Steiger's FAC. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 03:15, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Thanks!  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 03:16, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks

Many thanks for undertaking the GAN for Explorers on the Moon! Midnightblueowl (talk) 09:31, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Midnightblueowl: It's a pleasure to do so, Midnightblueowl! This will be my final Tintin GA review. From here on, I'll work as a contributor and help resolve comments at future Tintin episode GA reviews. BTW, nice work on Angela Lansbury. Looking forward to seeing her at FA!  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:42, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Sven. Yes, I'm trying to focus on winding my Wikipedia activities down somewhat over the coming months, so I'm focusing very much on getting those articles that I have previously worked on up to GA and (if possible FA) status rather than starting new ones. As a part of that I hope to finish my work on The Adventures of Tintin in the coming months. Best, Midnightblueowl (talk) 09:44, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Midnightblueowl: Glad to hear it. Do continue your good work. BTW, have you watched any films of Lansbury? I hear The Manchurian Candidate is quite good.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:47, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Funnily enough I've never actually seen The Manchurian Candidate, although Bedknobs and Broomsticks was one of my favourite films as a child! Midnightblueowl (talk) 09:48, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Midnightblueowl: Me neither. I'm planning to see it along with Gaslight (more interested in Bergman's role there. Lansbury will be quite wonderful I'm sure) and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I'll also get around Bedknobs and Broomsticks too since it's a Disney product!  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:50, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Your reverts of my comments

I'm wondering why you have removed all of my comments concerning the info box discussion. I've seen ownership of articles but that action pretty much outdoes anything I've seen.(Littleolive oil (talk) 02:01, 26 September 2015 (UTC))

@Littleolive oil: You entered your comments after the discussion regarding the infobox was closed. You should have entered your comments before, while the discussion was going on.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 02:04, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

There is no time limit on when comments can be added in a discussion as I'm sure you know. My comments were not added to the RfC. When I moved my comments to a section after Dr Blofeld had removed them for the threaded discussion, you removed everything I'd said in that section. That is a talk page violation and shows extreme ownership issues. I'm going to walk away as not worth my time. I hope you treat other editors better than you have just treated me.(Littleolive oil (talk) 02:13, 26 September 2015 (UTC))

@Littleolive oil: I actually didn't know that there was no time limit. I am still relatively new to Wikipedia policies. I just came here to expand and promote articles to GA and FA.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 02:19, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Understand

OK . You're a new user. So I understand your confusion A bit of advice. Removing article talk page cmts isn't a great thing to do and with another editor might have brought you some trouble. Best wishes. Feel free to delete. I wanted to make sure you knew there were no hard feelings.(Littleolive oil (talk) 03:42, 26 September 2015 (UTC))

Anniyan - Kailash

So with Anniyan having passed its GAR, I think FAC will be the next step. Now that Sriram's back, I think he should be the main nominator, given how much he expanded the article. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:28, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Most definitely. I helped take KNI to GA for both Sriram and for my liking of the film. Same case for Anniyan too. Don't get me wrong, but despite Sriram initiating a discussion at the Wikipedia Noticeboard about IndiaGlitz, I feel it still won't be accepted at FAC as much of a reliable source but it's Sriram's call on that one. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:19, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi machi! How about a DYK nom for Anniyan? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 17:24, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

@Sriram Vikram: Ok, machi. Edha DYKa aakalam? My suggestions are

• Did you know... that the song "O Sukumari" from the film Anniyan was shot in a Tulip garden in Netherlands.
• Did you know... that in the film Anniyan, the punishments meted out to sinners by its lead character is based on the Garuda Purana.

— Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:41, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

I would prefer option B with a wikilink. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:45, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Taught as much. We'll leave it for Sriram to decide. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:51, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Just received Pride. Wil send you the pics if I have time. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:11, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Whatever "hook" that is likely to kindle interest.. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 06:38, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Sriram Vikram: I feel that the Garuda Purana hook will be better as some reports state that "O Sukumari" was shot in a Tulip garden in Netherlands while others say it was in Keukenhof.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:45, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

FYI, Keukenhof is in Netherlands! :P

Btw, can this, info be integrated into the article? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 06:49, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Sriram Vikram: Haha, theriyum. My father went to Keukenhof a couple of years ago in-between during his business trip to Amsterdam. Include the Southscope one instead of IndiaGlitz. I would suggest you to remove as much IndiaGlitz references as possible (despite your discussion about it at the Wikipedia noticeboard).  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:54, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld:  Done replied. Saw your rating for Take the Money and Run and Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask). I'll most definitely give them a look soon. Seen many and still too much to see! As Bruce Willis says in Over the Hedge, "Enough is never enough." BTW, just curious, why the change from Tarkovsky to Kubrick and the splitting up of your great films list?  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 14:15, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

I think Tarkovsky, Ozu and Mizoguchi in particular are very special filmmakers in particular, beautifully poetic and sensual, but I don't think anybody can really surpass the technical prowess of Kubrick and the precision of each scene. More films too. Take the Money and Run really is hilarious though, I recommend all stalkers to watch it, it's as funny and dark at times as Stranglove. There's a deadly serious deep-voiced narrator, you know the stereotypical ones who narrate crime documentaries which is often used for comedic effect in that it's deadly serious. In one scene they're mentioning the crimes of the dangerous criminals and you'll see what I mean, the horses comment in particular. Woody Allen as a bank robber. Cannot be missed, hilarious.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:57, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

A well-deserved break! Wiki I'd imagine is way too much of a distraction for studying! Thanks for you help with Sinatra. Just need to iron out the unsourced parts before I resume with the biographies I now have. Don't worry about the 60s in the film section though, not finished that yet. Most of the article will be expanded/rewritten when I get to it anyway just needs to be fairly decent in sourcing as it is.

Resurgence

Hi Ssven. Your ideas did work to an extent. I've watched three comedy short films and watched Bhale Bhale Magadivoy last night, it was a riot. Once my pending FLC's result is out, i would take a wikibreak and would like to travel to get some peace of mind. And, all the best for your exams. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 04:09, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Thanks, Pavan. Once Steiger and the cricket FLCs are done, I too will be taking a wikibreak.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 04:32, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Steiger

Watch The Pawnbroker and Fistful of Dynamite and we'll then be ready to proceed to FAC :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:51, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Will surely do so, doc. Watch Padayappa, then Baashha, and finally Annamalai. You'll love them. BTW, has anyone give Steiger's article a good c/e yet? — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:53, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Seen them all! Re: 90s with Se7en, The Player, American Beauty and Out for Justice. See when you can!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:46, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Not that it really needs it, but I thought Eric might spot some things but I don't think he's as active as before. Perhaps ask RHM22 to look at it before FAC?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:55, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: RHM22 has not been present here since 18 August 2015. I can ask Onel5969 to do the job perhaps. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:57, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Onel removed the GOCE tag and restricted himself from copy-editing since a long time, for the AfD process. His recent reply is surely a stunner, at least for me. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 12:41, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: I know, Pavan. He told me so himself. But he has given my GAs copyedits since then. He was willing to copyedit Anniyan but User:Corinne took over the process before he did. Hence, I wanted to make it up to him by giving him this article. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 12:45, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

All the best, to both of you. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 12:47, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Well, let me know when you've seen Pawn and Fistful and I'll nom Steiger for FA! Will try to see those films you mentioned by the end of the week.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:51, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

BTW One film I forgot to recommend to you (and add to my list) is The Goddess (1934 film). The end will make you cry! [10] You can watch it there, if you can spare 1 hr 13 minutes :-).♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:35, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

I gave Baashha a star on the weight of the comedic value of the rickshaw and pool scene with the teeth haha, and the numerous badass moments, including when he rips out the drain and the multiple funerals with the knife LOL. I wish he'd have kept the beard throughout the film though, he looks more believable with it. Yes I enjoyed that one greatly! Nagma was lovely to look at too, too bad they drop Indian actresses after a certain age!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:30, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Told you you'd enjoy that and Annamalai too. Glad to hear it. I think by the rickshaw and the teeth, I think you mean the "Nee Nadanthaal Nadai Azhagu" song. By multiple funerals, I think you mean the scene where he became Baashha after killing the man who killed his Muslim friend. Did you also like this scene? About Nagma, she moved to more Telugu films and joined politics later in her career. As for the beard, he sports it in Padayappa, Sivaji - The Boss and his latest upcoming film, Kabali. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 00:31, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, the scene where he boils up and rips out the drain. There were some comic scenes with the ricksaw early on and then when somebody slashed the seats he boiled up again haha. The teeth from the waiter by the pool, reminded me of Jaws from Bond haha! Also the scene where he's sitting in the chair with dark glasses and gun and blows everybody to pieces. Multiple flashbacks of the funeral I mean, yes. In Annamalai I particularly liked the massive car lot of the same car and then the fuel igniting, but obviously lifted from numerous Hollywood films and wasn't exactly as well shot and professional looking as it might of been, but given the budget decent enough.♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:51, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: "I'm a bad man!" Haha, classic. It was a really bad egg that. Yeah, that's the problem with budgets. Obviously Indian films can't rake up something as expensive as the Marvel or DC or science-fiction adventure films. We just make do with what there is. Other Rajini films you can try out next week probably are Muthu (1995), Arunachalam (1997) and Sivaji (2007). — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:57, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Some of the action flaws though do add to the enjoyment factor at times though haha. They're fun to watch anyway! Have you seen Se7en yet?♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:00, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: I'll get to it and The Pawnbroker soon. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:01, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

I'll nom Steiger tomorrow I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:02, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: By all means do so. You can add me and RO as co-nominators as we have made over 100+ edits. Hope it passes, fingers crossed. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:08, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Who are you? WHO ARE YOU???? ;-)

Yes, of course, you've been most helpful to the article. You'll qualify after watching The Pawnbroker haha. Hope you've become a fan of him too!♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:11, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: In that case, I'll watch Pawnbroker today haha. Of course I have become a fan of Steiger. Very dynamic and wonderful actor. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:13, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

The Pawnbroker isn't fun to watch, but it's all about Steiger's performance, the way he plays a disgruntled jew in New York to perfection. Just watch him closely, he becomes the character literally.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:18, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Got it. — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:19, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes you can see why he was so sure he'd won the Oscar. His performance was way better than Marvin's in Cat Ballou. His performance in that film is really one of the greatest of all time IMO.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:34, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: He should have indeed. Do I qualify now? — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:37, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I'll nom him after dinner :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:40, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Take your time. :-) — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:45, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: WHO AM I???? Sapristi! I am a reasonable, sane human being with a. 44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world! LOL. Watch this.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 03:43, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it was definitely overacted, but really great to watch! You can see why Palance threw records at his head LOL.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:09, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Yeah, I loved it when Steiger blocks his ears too.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:14, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry to say this but I again disagree with your removal of quotes and "paraphrasing" in response to Cirt. There was nothing wrong with it and it looks less comprehensive and worse off now. Don't forget that we already have a lot of supports and would pass even if Cirt opposed. You're editing it way too much which worries me during an FAC as I'm finding it difficult to monitor what is being changed. Any changes should really be minor.♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:23, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Yeah, I really overdid it there. Well, he complimented me in his support message, I was like "Aww. How sweet." Also, I was afraid of the oppose bit. :-)  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 06:28, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Can you please restore it to the version the other day (aside from your minor fixes)? You've removed a lot of valuable quotes. Sorry to have to do this but it's not an improvement.♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:31, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Can you do me a favour and copy the info in the personal life section on Ava Gardner and others to the Relationships of Frank Sinatra article?♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:04, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Re: " According to Kelley, her husband Humphrey Bogart believed that Sinatra was in love with Bacall and failed to attend the Sands on Bacall's 32nd birthday out of jealousy, though the two men were on good terms." Bogie and Bacall very much enjoyed Sinatra's company and Bogart always chuckled at his jokes and stories about various people. But Bogie knew that Sinatra had the hots for Lauren and was secretly a bit jealous of him as a guy. I think Bogie's feelings about Sinatra were similar to a lot of guys. It's probably best not mentioned at all in an encyclopedia article.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:08, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Not me. Doc intends to do so. I'm just helping in fixing the sources for the article. Anyway, now that Steiger's FA, I'll be taking a wikibreak (with the focus being on my pending cricket FLCs) as my exams are approaching this November and 2 class tests in between the next week and the week after. As for biographies, I'm planning on Cary Grant and Warren Beatty for now.

I can see why they cast Paul Blackthorne as the arrogant governor in Lagaan. Google image him, I don't think I've ever seen a more arrogant looking man LOL. It was his first role too. I reckon the casting team wanted to find the most arrogant looking British guy they could find and cast him!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:31, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: "Teen Guna Lagaan." Love the way he speaks Hindi with his accent and pompous, smug-face expressions. Glad you enjoyed it and Pyaasa. My favourite part in "Lagaan" is, of course, the cricket match and the way Aamir Khan convinces his fellow village folk to accept Kachra, the low-caste guy, into the team and of course, Rajesh Vivek's antics. Pyaasa is very moving, but I felt that Guru Dutt was either too sad or too moody in it. I hardly found him being happy in the film. I much rather prefer Waheeda Rahman and, of course, Johnny Walker was adorable. I'm shedding a tear or two as I mention Pyaasa, although the film ends on a rather decent note.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 12:28, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

I added some stuff on Sinatra's personal life today can you copy to personal life article? In one I mention Cary Grant weeping at Sinatra's songs and appreciating his honesty! I'll see how Sinatra goes for FA, I might just get to GA, but I'm planning on Cary Grant next.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:46, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: That's great, Doc. I have the ebook version of Marc Eliot's biography (the page numbers change when I maximise or minimise them). I managed to get a copy of Higham and Moseley's one, Donaldson and Royce's one and Cary Grant: Dark Angel too. I can add material from that once you are done with Sinatra.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 00:31, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

You know the list of books on the Sinatra page? Can you create one on the Cary Grant talk page from Amazon.co.uk? Find all the books you can on him and list the name/author and price. I'll put in a request once Sinatra gets to GA. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:34, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Indian viewers + critics = hypocrisy

I feel bad when the same audience who like films such as Kick, Dhoom 3, Krrish 3 and CE, try to judge a better but experimental or say a different film. I mean why double standards. Even the critics are brainwashing these viewers, they said "BB is the best Salman Khan movie in a long time (2.5 stars)" and then they said about a film "this film tries too hard but falls flat on its face (2.5 stars)". I mean what these Indian critics are trying to do? Its feels like same grades are being given to two different students, to one with a smile and another with a warning. What do you think about this?Krish | Talk 17:49, 11 October 2015 (UTC)ut this?

@Krish!: Well, quoting Ajay Devgn's dialogue from Bol Bachchan, "Chalo, it happens. Happens only in India." It is indeed misleading but I can't judge about Salman's performance in BB as I haven't seen the film yet.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 12:36, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Thiruvilaiyadal soundtrack

Each soundtrack site gives a different version of the same soundtrack (I mean, mostly the same songs, but different order of tracklisting). Raaga.com has 10 of the 11 songs, while Music India Online has all 11 songs. EROS Now too has the soundtrack, but omits information on the lyricists. The tracklisting order differs in the sites. MIO lists the song "Gnana Pazhathai" as being written by Sankaradas Swamigal, despite Dhananjayan mentioning "Pazham Neeyappa" as being that poet's writing. How do we solve this dilemma? Kailash29792 (talk) 04:39, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Judging by what I saw on your photobucket profile images of Danny's info on the film, he mentions "Gnana Pazhathai" as being written by Sankaradas Swamigal. "Gnana Pazathai" is part of "Pazham Neeyappa" and as per what is stated in the article — "while the lyrics of the songs were written by Kannadasan, with the exception of the first portions of "Pazham Neeyappa", which were penned by Sankaradas Swamigal". I feel it's best for you and Tham to stick to that.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:31, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Would you support the category "Shapeshifting in fiction" being added to Thiruvilaiyadal? I ask this because of the various forms Shiva is able to transform into at will. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:47, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

It's okay. I appreciate the efforts of the trio (you, Kailash and Thamizhan) in making Thiruvilaiyadal ready for GAN. I too want to see the outcome, supposedly positive. And, i came to know that like you, Jaguar too loved SVSC, esp. the performances. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:27, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: I didn't do much on Thiruvilaiyadal (just little bit of changing words and making the sentences more crisper). Tham and Kailash deserve the credit. I'm glad to hear that Jaguar loved SVSC. I also liked the way a girl asks Mahesh Babu whether she can see him again one more time. The scene (The "oka sari" bit) looked cute. I also liked that Venkatesh does that thing with his shirt. I still do it too!  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:29, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Looks like you trio considerThiruvilaiyadal more or less your magnum opus. Coming to SVSC, it surely was a film close to my heart (that's why it has been my 18th GA). IMHO, SVSC and Murari (and Srimanthudu, barring the action sequences) were the only films where Mahesh did not play a larger-than-life role, but a vulnerable and ordinary young man. The way he illustrates death delirium in Murari here is one of my favourites, and i hope you too like it. Venkatesh's "collar rising" act, which actually indicates that he is obligation-free and unaccountable, is not something one always does in Andhra. Be careful!

Hi,

Thank you for noticing that I should merge the footnotes in Marilyn Monroe!

Cary Grant

Before any expansion begins we need to go through it and ensure it's all verifiable. I've made a decent start on sorting out the sourcing and have tagged all that needs to be sourced. Don't worry so much for sourcing the film titles in the mid sections as that will be expanded and fully written anyway. BTW for books you can paste book urls into [11] . It's just I notice you tend to go for web sources. I'm the opposite, I go for books as often as I can because that makes them for me :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: It's only in case the books don't provide any information about certain things. They are mostly standby sources (a back-up). We'll start together in mid-November as I'll be back to active editing by then. My exams would be over.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 00:38, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Glad to see that you enjoyed Home Alone, HAHK and DDLJ. Tuffy the dog is actually the real hero as he brings Dixit and Salman together. It's still regarded as the best from Salman and Sooraj Barjatya. I'm sure you must have enjoyed this m**********r very much (I didn't know it was him while watching both Home Alone 1 and 2 BTW). What was your favourite part from DDLJ? Enjoyed the songs and locations?  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 00:48, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Oh I've seen Home Alone 1 and 2 about 5 times. Like the Harry Potter earlier ones and a lot of the sequel type films I forget to put them on my list. I've seen a bit of Home Alone 3 too I think but turned it off when I realised it wasn't Macaulay!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:42, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Like I said to Frankboy, Home Alone 3 is pretty good actually. I actually watched it before 1 and 2 on VHS DVD (I still have it and it still works!). The performances of the villains, Alex D. Linz who replaces Culkin, and not to mention Scar Jo were quite good. However, the third lacks the innocence and purity seen in the first two. It was purely commercial in intention but quite enjoyable nevertheless.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:46, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Yes nice locations in Dilwale BTW, but a bit irritating that they live in their own world! I liked the shop scene near the beginning, but I think one of the best was the one in Switzerland where he says "Bon Jovi, Al Pacino" to the policemen LOL!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:18, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: It's "Bon Jovi, Al Salo, Al Haramo, Al Pacino, Roberto De Niro!" LOL. SRK tries to sound European there to save his and Kajol's skin since they don't have their passports as both miss their trains.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 12:19, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Once again you appear to want to edit war over the date formats. Not sure what brought this on again, but I'll tell you that WP:DATERET was conceived so that we wouldn't be edit warring over date formats. DATERET works fine when everyone agrees to its simple rules. The main rule being that we don't change the date format simply because we don't like them. Your contention that since another article uses DMY, then the Cary Grant article should use DMY is not based on any policy or guideline. It's based on your preference. But the reason that the Alfred Hitchcock article uses DMY is because the first date format in THAT article was DMY. Just as the first date format used in the Cary Grant article was MDY. We don't go around changing them later and then edit war over the issue. JOJ ^Hutton 18:29, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

I may order the first two Cary Grant books tomorrow, which two would you recommend me getting first? I should have O'Hara at GA by the end of the month. Looking forward to working on Grant with you in December, I've changed my mind and think he's worth doing! I'm planning on Ginger Rogers and Richard Burton after that. I think Burton, perhaps with the exception of Olivier, might have just been the most talented actor I've ever seen, brilliant talent, but I believe he never came close to being as big as he could have been because he couldn't care less about his career and was an alcoholic. He was wildly underrated as an actor. If you've not seen Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (film) I urge you to watch asap, I'm, convinced it's some of the best acting ever committed to celluloid! Watch that and Becket (1964) and you'll see what I mean.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:20, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: I'd recommend you to get McCann, Higham & Moseley, Wansell and Nancy Nelson first (Atleast McCann and Wansell). Eliot is the big fish but his book is really "overtly-sexual". For instance, he mentions Gary Cooper as "well known in the industry for the size of his p***s (huge)...". Seriously. So, I feel we shouldn't use Eliot's book for Grant's personal life section but he does cover Grant's film career well and in detail.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:01, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: BTW, watched Out of the Past yet? Mitchum's great in it! Will watch Cape Fear soon.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:09, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that's a classic film noir film, I've seen it twice I think, did I really forget that one? I dread to think how many I've missed LOL!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:07, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Glad you enjoyed Wolff. A remarkable film. Two Dustin Hoffman films I recommend very highly are Straw Dogs which has a controversial rape scene and Straight Time (one of the best crime films of the 70s IMO). There's a scene in Straight Time which is as bad ass as it gets, you'll love it haha! I'm sure Loeba will agree on those two!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:28, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

The verbal jousting between Burton and O'Toole in Becket is comparable to Sleuth I think, one of the wittiest.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:32, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Touche, Doc! Will watch Becket soon.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:56, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

That O'Toole didn't win an Oscar for Becket, L of Arabia nor The Lion in Winter is one of cinema's greatest travesties! They're some of the best performances in film history! O'Toole for Becket or Steiger for The Pawnbroker for 1964 would have both been great choices but Rex Harrison for My Fair Lady? No way.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:28, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Your list is coming on very nicely, starting to get a nice balance. If you want another film from 1965 to make it five I highly recommend Ship of Fools (film).♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:22, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

By the looks of it the Grant books will be ordered Thursday so it's going to be another 10 days at least until I get the books. I'll begin working on it slowly but nothing major until I get them!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:42, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

First three Grant books have been bought...♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:39, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

This is really going to be a gruelling one to write! What have you got me into ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:11, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Well, it's not as big as Sinatra's though (Sinatra was a musician and actor whereas Grant is an actor only). I'll cover the film career and legacy sections. Try to use more of McCann and Wansell than Higham and Moseley as Charles Higham has a not-so-good reputation as a biographer (His Errol Flynn's biography was controversial).  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:20, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

True, nothing is as big as Sinatra. Look, when I write articles I go through the books systematically. Higham is the oldest book I've got and the one I'm starting with. In places sources can always be replaced with other sources later.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:22, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

BTW I was watching Petulia the other night and the gorgeous Julie Christie started talking about her father in it resembling Cary Grant! You know you've got to get Grant to at least GA when actresses like that start talking about him in films!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:28, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Now we know that most of the "stars" have some sort of life difficulty, but you'd never have guessed with Cary Grant. I mean you watch him in films and he really looked the type who permanently had a light hearted view of life and you'd think everything was a breeze for him and he was perfectly cool at all times! You'd never guess he came from such a family or was troubled.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:30, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Grant's elder brother's death took its toll on his parents and its probably the reason for his rather poor upbringing. He did have his good moments with them though, they were not entirely cruel as Higham & Moseley say. Cannon too says he had a "traumatic childhood".  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:38, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Home Alone

What could possibly "[grew] on me in a spiritual/moral/religious/devotional way", "made me cry" and "[grew] on me in other emotional ways (happy, feel good, patriotic, made me think philosophically to name a few)" a film like Home Alone and its sequel? -- Frankie _talk 14:10, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

@FrB.TG: Religious because of its Christmas spirit. Emotional because Kevin (Culkin) realises how much his family means to him and how important a part of his life they are only after he's Home Alone. I absolutely loved this m**********r though.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 14:28, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, Home Alone and the second part were quite good thanks to Pesci and Culkin, but the other three were pretty bad, I heard. -- Frankie _talk 15:04, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

@FrB.TG: Home Alone 3 is pretty good actually. I actually watched it before 1 and 2 on VHS DVD (I still have it and it still works!). The performances of the villains, Alex D. Linz who replaces Culkin, and not to mention Scar Jo were quite good. I haven't seen the last two. Didn't even know they existed.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:11, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

I see. I have only watched the first two and loved Culkin in them. I wish I got to see more of that from this guy, but I doubt that will ever happen. -- Frankie _talk 15:14, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

@FrB.TG: Yeah, I suppose so. However, the third lacks the innocence and purity seen in the first two. It was purely commercial in intention but quite enjoyable nevertheless.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:18, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Maureen O'Hara

I'm going to begin seeing the remainder of her films I've not seen. When researching an actor I think it's always best to see most of their films before writing and to really understand their work better. I did that with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep, I didn't have time to watch all of Steiger's and Sinatra's though haha! I'll see the remainder of Grant's films as it gets written too. I suggest you also try to see as many of Grant's films as possible too as it starts to get written. I do believe the understanding of an actor's work shines through when the writer as actually seen most of their works and knows what he/she's talking about!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:36, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

I've decided I'm not going to work on Cary Grant after all. I'll let you do it. Good luck with it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:58, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't know. Generally I prefer to get all the books and largely write it myself from scratch. I still have a lot to do with O'Hara which is going to take until the end of the month I think. By then you'll probably already have it up to GA! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:03, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Date format

The article has been at MDY and stable for 13 years. He was also a US citizen. Being born British does not automatically make an article DMY. You seem to disagree and seem to be willing to edit war over this. I am not willing to edit war, but I am willing to discuss. Do you have a guideline to cite that explains that birth trumps DATERET?JOJ ^Hutton 02:06, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

@Jojhutton: Well, I'm not willing to enter into an edit war with this. I'm just curious as to which format should be used for the article. By birth, he's British. But he was also a US citizen and worked primarily in Hollywood films. In that case, let mdy format be used for now. Also I'm trying to take him to GA. His article's woefully underdeveloped and I feel it needs a better standard.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 02:11, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

First off, Kudos for working so diligently on the article, it would be nice to see another well written GA article. That said, WP:DATERET is supposed to elevate these types of date format discussions so thanks for changing it back. If you need any help on the article, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks again.--JOJ ^Hutton 02:23, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Do you think this can be useful for Mayabazar? If so, add it. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 10:10, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Did you find trouble with archiving? The website took four screenshots. So, do one thing. If it shows the plain page i.e. the page as it is during the archiving process, open wayback archive in a new tab and paste the original URL in the browse history tab after at least ten seconds. You will find at least one screenshot there. Hope this issue will not prolonged for a long time. Good luck! Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:09, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

BTW, i want to share something. You know that Chakrapani burnt the reels of already shot Missamma before Bhanumathi's eyes after their verbal argument. Did you know, that after Nageswara Rao was injured on the sets of Mayabazar, because of whom the film's release was delayed by three months, Chakrapani visited him in the hospital daily and taught him playing cards? What do you think of this? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:06, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

@Pavanjandhyala: Not that relevant to the production section of the article as it seems to be trivial information.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 16:38, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Do you think that i am an idiot to include that, you idiot? I was working on the FAC with the Doctor and i noticed this. Thought i should share it with you. It is indeed surprising for me that someone who could not bear an artist visiting the sets hours late, could tolerate someone for months who delayed the filming and the release and also played cards with him.

Though a commercial success, Kumari 21F has grey-shaded characters and a well written yet dark ending unlike the un'forget'able Bhale Bhale Magadivoy, a lighthearted one.

Enthiran 2

You heard this? Enthiran 2 has gone on the floors today. OMG! I didn't know anything about it. Amy Jackson is playing a robot? It looks like after she transformed from a bike into a robot in I, the idea clicked in Shankar's head and he cast her again. Amazing.Krish | Talk 10:50, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I hope this isn't like Twilight (cross species romance, with the male being human this time). Kailash29792 (talk) 12:07, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

No I've heard Amy is opposite Chitti, the robot. Definitely not cross species love. But who knows this time the female robot might fall for a man, like in previous a male robot fall for a woman. For a role opposite Dr. Vaseegaran, they want to cast a Bollywood actress. My question is what is the need to cast a Bollywood actress opposite RajniKanth when there are so many South actresses who haven't worked with him yet. Whoever gets the role, I don't care. But one thing for sure the most interesting role will be played by Amy.Krish | Talk 13:30, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

@Krish!: Purely for hype, bro. "This bollywood actress is in this film!! Whoo!!". Don't have to mention STAR Vijay. They'll hype the film during its release time like anything! I'm currently watching the film that inspired Star Wars.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 13:36, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for butting in. Since when did Amy Jackson become a Bollywood actress? She made her film debut in Tamil cinema and three of her six releases are in Tamil. —Vensatry _(Talk) 13:46, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I guess Ekk Deewana Tha was literally forgettable? Kailash29792 (talk) 13:50, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

And her next (also latest) release too. —Vensatry _(Talk) 13:53, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Dude I was not talking about Amy, but the rumoured part which is yet to be cast, replacement for Aishwarya's.Krish | Talk 13:58, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Apologies, I didn't read that bit carefully! —Vensatry _(Talk) 17:55, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Ssven2, Looks like Akshay Kumar has a part. May be the villain? —Vensatry _(Talk) 18:10, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

If so, it won't be the first time he is playing a villain; remember Ajnabee and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi? Kailash29792 (talk) 04:12, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Avvaiyar

Awesome film, I'd like to see that brought up to GA status. It's one of the best Indian films I've seen to date. The baby scenes at the beginning and the elephants ramming the fort near the end are among the all time best scenes of cinema IMO.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:22, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

I see you've seen Metropolis now. Amazing isn't it? And for 1927, pure genius! I urge you to watch Days of Wine and Roses and The Rose Tattoo asap, some of the best acting ever IMO.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:24, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

I too plan it for GA. But now with the credibility of G. Dhananjayan (who has written extensively about the film) being at stake, I don't know what to do. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:27, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: I'll definitely see them and Becket soon enough, Doc. Yes, Metropolis is a masterpiece! Everything in the film is a triumph of Lang's imagination. The Big Heat was awesome too. Glad to see you enjoyed Avvaiyar and its music (Kailash29792 is working on it to get it up to GA). Do see the other devotional films I've mentioned too.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:30, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: If not GA, at least a DYK nom should be good.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:30, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Great, look forward to reviewing it. It really is a top film, comparable to some of Ray's IMO. I will be watching more Indian films today :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:33, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Which two Indian films would you urge me to see the most?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:40, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Nayakan (1987), Roja (1992) and Bombay (1995). Krimuk loved the last two.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah Days of Wine, Rose Tattoo and Becket are on the level of Sleuth and Wolff in acting level! See those as I watch the above :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:53, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

You've still not seen them!Tibetan Prayer ^᧾ 13:55, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

@Tibetan Prayer: I'll definitely see them by this week.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 10:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Kathleen Turner

I believe you've seen Jewel of the Nile and know she was hot but watch her in Prizzi's Honor with Jack Nicholson, one of the sexiest actresses ever! She's great in Crimes of Passion too but despite her sexual role in it, oddly not as alluring as in Prizzi's. Her in that has to go down among the all time sexiest performances. Turner was to the 80s in hotness as Dunaway was to the 70s and Sharon Stone to the 90s! Prizzi's Honor was great but a bit flawed, Nicholson I think was miscast (Al Pacino would have been more convincing), though had excellent interaction with Turner in it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:31, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Yep, I saw Jewel on TV a couple of years ago. Not that appealing like its predecessor. See her in The Man with Two Brains. She's really hot in it too. Saw The Cook, the Thief, his Wife & her Lover yesterday. Quite a powerful film. Reminded me of Naan Kadavul at times (in terms of the cannibalism things). Planning to watch Days of Wine today.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 05:06, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I'll watch the Man with Two brains soon. I think I've seen it like a lot of Martin film which were on TV years ago but I didn't bother to check the titles haha. I'll watch it soon anyway. I'm finishing off the year with an 80s theme!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:10, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I've gradually come around to thinking that every period of film has a certain charm haha! It really is great focusing on a year/period for a while, it sort of takes you back to that period. I still think the strongest period is definitely 1959-1973 though, though 1939-1941 and 1947-9 also very strong periods. I think 1962 might be the best year in film, but I'll need to see a few dozen more to be certain! The Grapes of Wrath is a marvelous film, one of Ford's very best, glad you enjoyed it!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:43, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: My strongest period is 1936-1969 (Hollywood) and yep your choice (1959-1973) for Tamil films. Classic Hollywood and classic Tamil cinema are my favourite eras. Might I also recommend another Jules Dassin film, The Naked City? Fitzgerald's incredible in it. Do watch it ASAP. Going to watch Days of Wine now.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 13:53, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Wait until you see more early 70s New Hollywood/Italian films! The most ground breaking films were made in early 70s. Noted. Barry Fitzgerald is one of my favourite actors. I see you've now seen a number of his films. Funny you watched St Mary's, the sequel before Going my Way though!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:59, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Seen one of them two days ago (MASH (1970)). T'was really funny but sometimes makes you feel sorry for Hot Lips though. The Rugby match was hilarious, so was the recording of the intercourse with Burns and Hot Lips, as well as making the Colonel Merrill fellow unconscious and framing him of having sex. Sometimes one can hardly believe Sutherland's and Gould's characters are army surgeons.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 14:04, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Sutherland's greatest film is Don't Look Now IMO. MASH though is hilarious as you say. The AFI 100 list really is an excellent one, it really does cover most of the best American ones. But there's a few I disagree with which I think should have been included. I'll draw up my own at some point! Anyway, you can see my highest rated ones from the early 70s and what to look for. There's just not enough time to watch everything though!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:08, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Days of Wine is incredible! Lemmon's beautiful in it! One of his best performances I must say! Kind of almost like The Lost Weekend - Part 2 (In terms of the alcoholic illness and addiction). Thank you for the recommendation, Dr. Blofeld.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 15:38, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

It is one of the best performances ever from anybody too, yet another gem from 1962!. The greenhouse scene is one of the greatest in the history of cinema. That's why I was urging you to watch it LOL. Magnani 's performance in The Rose Tattoo IMO is one of the best Oscar winning performances ever too!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:37, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Particularly that exact scene you mention where Lemmon searches the greenhouse for a bottle of whiskey. Sad, isn't it? The things people do for a stupid bottle of alcohol. Tsk Tsk Tsk. Pitiful.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 03:39, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that one.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:03, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Cool. You saw Get Carter and Straight Time, two of the best crime films of the 70s. Caine was badass wasn't he? I knew you'd love the highway scene in Straight Time in particular ;-) Another recommended 70s crime film is The Getaway (1972 film), my favourite McQueen film. Don't Look Now is sort of like The Omen in atmosphere, only better. You'll love it. I will watch Bombay a bit later :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:07, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
