• ... that Wahan Ke Log is one of the earliest science-fiction films made in India? Source: ("While this was not strictly true – there had been some previous attempts to make science-fiction films in India, mainly B-movies such as Miss Chaalbaaz (1961), Trip to Moon (1967) and Wahan Ke Log (1967)." Smith, Iain Robert (2016). Hollywood Meme: Transnational Adaptations in World Cinema. Edinburgh University Press. p. 117.)
  • ALT1:... that Wahan Ke Log is the first Hindi science-fiction film? Source: "The first Indian movie (in Hindi) which had some element of Sci-Fi in it was Wahan ke Log (people from there) and included visitors from Mars in its story." (Mohan Nautiyal, Chandra (20 June 2008). "A look at S&T Awareness - Enhancements in India". Journal of Science Communication.)

• The cast list and song list, including the artists, need to be referenced. Otherwise, this is almost ready to go. The other requirements are met. SL93 (talk) 22:47, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

• The QPQ check says you have no previous DYKs, but your user page shows more than 5. A QPQ is needed. SL93 (talk) 22:54, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you, SL93. Okay, points addressed, review done for Titanic International Society. Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:46, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

• This is ready. I prefer ALT1 because it is the first completed Hindi sci-fi film which I feel is more interesting than it being "one of the earliest" in India. SL93 (talk) 16:20, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote ALT1, but while this source may say it's the first, your article keeps calling it one of the first or one of the earliest. Yoninah (talk) 19:48, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

• I will approve the original hook if the nominator can't fix the issue. SL93 (talk) 00:51, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

• ALT2: ... that the strange visitors from Mars are on the way? Yoninah (talk) 00:58, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

• That sounds better. What do you think, Shshshsh SL93 (talk) 01:08, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

• >>>Cough cough <<< April Fools DYK. --evrik ^(talk) 04:42, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

• I'd pick ALT2 anyday. :) Anyway, there's no contradiction actually - one of the earliest Indian films, and the earliest Hindi film - which are not the same. I think either hook can be approved, but maybe the original gives a less exraordinary claim, which is probably more fitting at this stage. Shahid • ^Talk2me 08:19, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

• OK. Approving ALT0. SL93 (talk) 16:53, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

• @SL93: what happened to ALT2 for April Fools Day? And didn't the nominator prefer that? Yoninah (talk) 17:27, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

• Even if that is the case, the nominator never mentioned anything about April Fool's Day...let's just wait for Shshshsh SL93 (talk) 17:30, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

• @Shshshsh: could you be more specific in your comment? Do you want this to run on April Fools Day? Or do you want ALT0 to run now? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:07, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

• Wow I wasn't aware you guys were actually serious because there's a lot of time left! But honestly I'd rather have it run now. Shahid • ^Talk2me 09:08, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

• April Fools Day hooks are collected from the entire previous year, and the hooks in the sets get a lot of views. But if you would prefer to run now with a regular hook, that's fine too. Restoring tick for ALT0 per SL93's review. Yoninah (talk) 10:09, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
