Featured list candidates/Aishwarya Rai Bachchan filmography/archive1

Nominator(s): KRIMUK90 ✉ 08:40, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, cited by many as one of the most beautiful women in the world, has appeared in over forty films in five different languages. This is my fifth filmography nomination on an Indian celebrity, and as usual, I look forward to lots of constructive comments. KRIMUK90 ✉ 08:40, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by AB01

In the first para, too much use of the word "she". Please replace one or two with Rai

Done.

I though Bride and Prejudice was her 1st Hollywood production?

Nope. Bride and Prejudice was a British film.

"she reunited with Ghosh to play a depressed woman"- something doesn't seem right about the character description. Maybe "dejected" might be better

Well, even the review provided says that she was depressed in the film.

As per the source, I wouldn't call Jodhaa Akbhar highly successful if it's a semi-hit. Successful would be enough

Removed.

I think a mention of Enthiran in the lead would be apt, considering it's her highest grosser. You could use this source

Added. Thanks for the source. :)

I found out the name of the song for Ravoyi Chandamama. Its called "Love to Live". Update accordingly

Thanks.

I've only skimmed through the references, and they look ok

Thanks for the review @AB01: -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 04:21, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No problem :-) I can give my support now AB01 ^{I'M A POTATO} 04:37, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Add that her debut was in a Tamil film.
I don't think it's mentioned in the sources given that Hum Dil De was her breakthrough role, maybe cite this book: [[2]].
Source says Taal was fourth highest grossing of the year
"In 2003, Rai achieved success by playing the.." Doesn't sound right. Consider reword
"leading to setbacks" --> leading to a setback...
Don't know if it would be too off topic but a brief mention of her modelling career particularly that she won Miss World 1994 as without that she probably wouldn't have got her earlier roles.

@Cowlibob: Thanks for the comments! The first five points are done. However, I have not mentioned her modelling career and pageant wins because they are well covered in her bio article. I agree that she received her initial film offers due to her modelling career, but I would like to restrict this list only to the films that she was a part of, and not go off-topic. Even Priyanka Chopra filmography doesn't mention her pageant wins. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 10:33, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support It looks all good now! Great list. Cowlibob (talk) 10:50, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction:

"Indian actress Aishwarya Rai, credited as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after her marriage" — Change the link to Aishwarya Rai so it does not redirect, or switch the link to "Indian actress Aishwarya Rai, credited as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after her marriage".

Done.

"predominantly Hindi" — fix the link so it does not redirect

It correctly links to the Hindi language.

Since this is the English language Wikipedia you may want to consider stating that Bride and Prejudice was her first English language film.

Stated that it was an English film.

Fiction film:

Provoked and Jodhaa Akbar are based on a true stories so it seems inaccurate to refer to them as fiction. Hence I suggest you consider changing the title of the section.

Changed section heading to "films".

Her role in Bride in Prejudice could be linked to Elizabeth Bennet.

I don't think that would be correct, since she didn't really play Bennet, but a character based on her.

"film" (in the section title) should be "films" since more than one is listed.

Changed.

Documentary film:

Likewise, "film" in the section title should be "films" since more than one is listed.
What language are these films? Since you have a column for languages in the above list why not one for this list?

Added.

If you make a column for the languages then make all the columns the same width as the columns in the previous list.

The column width is automatically adjusted by the length of the characters in it.
