List of Dharma Productions films edit

Shah Rukh Khan has collaborated with Dharma Productions on six films

5x expanded by Krimuk90 (talk). Self nominated at 14:10, 16 February 2015 (UTC).

  • x5 expanded, QPQ done, adequately cited. Hook reads a bit vague to me and is currently unreferenced in the article. Also it needs to be an established fact per our policy. Vensatry (ping) 18:50, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
I agree that it isn't directly cited in the list, but a simple counting in the well-sourced "cast" section is enough to prove the claim. Anyway, I am open to any other hook suggestions. -- KRIMUK90  03:12, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
  • I can see that, but is this an established fact? Also this is more likely to change in the near future, given Alia Bhatt gets more offers in the coming years. Also Why include Kareena Kapoor when SRK has one more then her? Vensatry (ping) 07:39, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, I understand. I can limit it to just SRK then. -- KRIMUK90  09:01, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
How about ALT1 ... that The Lunchbox, a co-production of Dharma Productions, was the first Indian film to be produced by three foreign producers? Got it from here. Vensatry (ping) 18:30, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Are you sure this is a better hook than the original one? I need to somehow include the fact in the article as well. -- KRIMUK90  02:24, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
  • I'm unsure of the interestingness of the hook. But unlike the original hook, this claim has been reported by multiple reliable sources. Vensatry (ping) 07:53, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Woops, sorry Vensatry. I had totally forgotten about this. Alright, I have tweaked the hook to mention only Khan. I think this should be ok. I don't find the co-production fact to be very interesting. -- KRIMUK90  05:48, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
One can say that Kamal Haasan had collaborated with K. Balachander in 36 films. But many won't be aware of the fact that Balachander had collaborated with his cameraman B. S. Lokanath in 55+ films. Hope you understand the problem here. Vensatry (ping) 17:41, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
I understand. How about ALT2 ... that Shah Rukh Khan (pictured) has starred in six films produced by Dharma Productions ?
  • Fair enough. GTG with ALT2 Vensatry (ping) 10:16, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
