Blueblood

I'm not sure what exactly to do about this, but it doesn't seem to make sense that "blueblood" links to the article on the color blue...

I know this discussion actually doesn't belong here, but I'm going ahead anyway...since moving this discussion is not going to make things less confusing. Anyway, in reply to you; it does make sense. The Blueblood article redirects to the "Social class, occupation, and military associations" section on Blue. The probably reason why it made no sense to you, was that it previously brought you to the start of the Blue-article. A likely mistake, seeing as prior to my edit, it tried to link to a nonexistant section.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 16:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

trivia

there is a counter part to Kitty Bennet in the movie - the other, odd sister who does the snake dance, don't know her name

No there isn't a counterpart to Kitty Bennet. Maya, the sister who performs the snake dance, is based upon Mary Bennet, hence the embarassing moment when she performs in front of Darcy and Balraj (parallels Mary Bennet singing and playing the pianoforte at Lucas Lodge and the Netherfield Ball).

Ashanti's appearance in the film

I removed Ashanti from the "Selected cast" list because it is a selected cast list, and not a list of all cast members of the film. It seems to this wiki user that whomever created the cast list did so with the express purpose of indicating the parallel characters/roles between the film Bride and Prejudice, and Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice. Since Ashanti's role simply does not fit this criteria, I have removed her name from the cast list. NOTE that Ashanti's name still appears in the article, in the trivia section (twice).

I cannot find rhyme or reason to those quotes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.253.23.172 (talk • contribs)

Balrag and Kiran's last name

For the second time, I've removed the name Bingley as the last name of these characters. The name Bingley NEVER appears anywhere in the film. Note that the Jane Austen Society of North America website lists their last name as Balraj due to the fact that Balraj (the character based on Charles Bingley in Pride and Prejudice) is referred to as "Mr. Balraj" twice during the film. http://www.jasna.org/film/pp.html BellyOption 12:25, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Pride and Prejudice

The movie is modeled after the book. The appearance of the book in the movie is thus meaningful. This sort of observation is common on Wik movie pages. Kdammers (talk) 09:30, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

"Other stuff exists" is not a valid reason. - BilCat (talk) 09:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Outside view requested!

Some people want this sentence (or some-thing like it) in the article; some do not want it. Some-body please help us resolve what is bordering on an edit war. "* When Lalita is in the hotel of Goa with Darcy and Kiran, she gets a book out of the handbag. This book is "Pride and Prejudice", the book on which the movie is based, obviously." Kdammers (talk) 09:07, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I've been removing the blurb for several reasons. First, it is a trivial mention - it's not really germane to the movies story, or it would be placed in the plot section. Two, This is one of many sight gags and tributes of some kind to the movie, and it's better to leave them for the view to discover. Three, I've tried to visually verify the book, and all i can see is that it is a Jane Austen book, but the title is unverifiable. Austen wrote several books, so it could be any one of them. So the fact that the book's title is unveriviable by normal means of viewing the film really weighs in favor of leaving it out. - BilCat (talk) 21:54, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

The only argument that I buy is Your last one, but it is telling. So, I accept.Kdammers (talk) 03:45, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Rotten Tomatoes

I was surprised at the high review score and so I checked the Rotten Tomatoes link but there is no information. Not a score of 79%, not 36 critics, or any number of critics but instead 0 reviews listed and no score. If someone could find an archive link to support the old numbers claimed that would be a good start but it is odd that Rotten Tomatoes would have removed all reviews for some reason. -- 109.76.197.189 (talk) 16:28, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
