Chandramukhi

If you don't mind, can you conduct a GA review on the article? Ssven2 (talk) 05:34, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Vensatry, good news: Chandralekha (1948 film) has passed its FAC, and has become the second Tamil film article after Gemini to achieve this feat. It could also be my first FA with a Bollywood article, as it also writes about the Hindi version (which was shot rather than dubbed). Kailash29792 (talk) 06:53, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

@Ssven2: Thanks for dropping in. But I must say that I generally don't do GA reviews on films. @Kailash29792: Congrats man. Hope to see many more films getting promoted to FA status in future! —Vensatry _(ping) 11:45, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Kamalhassan Filmography

Hi, I found that you have removed the 'Abhay' movie credit and merged with Alavandhan, as both are same production. But, if you take similar scenario, Vishwaroopam, Mumbai express and lot of other actor/actress had their filmography with simultaneous language made films too. You are going to edit those too?. Vaidyasr (talk) 13:48, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Actually I agree with Vaidyasr because he provided me with a source that defines Abhay as a separate film from Aalavandhan. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:51, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm not saying that it was dubbed from Tamil. It's a bi-lingual film shot simultaneously in two languages. In this case, I'm not sure whether we should add both as separate entries. So I leave it to you. —Vensatry _(ping) 16:33, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I will modify it to add 'Abhay' as a movie, as it counts as a credit for his film achievement, where as the dubbing is not. Vaidyasr (talk) 17:09, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Mouna Ragam

On its GAR page, I have posted a link containing the whole chapter from Conversations with Mani Ratnam related to it. Can you please read it and do some corrections in the article? This I ask you because I think you once said you wanted to make this a GA. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:05, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Necessary corrections? What's the nominator doing? —Vensatry _(ping) 18:57, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Did you have anything more to say Vens? If not I'll conclude the review tomorrow.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:49, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

To be very honest, I've not read the article fully. My comment about the film's plot resembling Nenjathai Killathey is a minor one, which I think isn't a serious issue. —Vensatry _(ping) 16:56, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes, and I found no non-Baradwaj Rangan source which compares MR to NK. Blofeld, you please check whether your current concerns for MR have been addressed, and add new ones soon. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:25, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Moondram Pirai GA

The film is currently undergoing a GAR by the doctor. What DYK do you suggest we can use for the film?

My pick is as below

Did you know ...that Kanne Kalaimane was the last song that Kannadasan wrote before his death? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 07:12, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Moondram Pirai is now a GA! — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 14:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Congrats man. There are many interesting hooks. Even if I were to nominate the article, I'd chosen this hook only. Looks great! —Vensatry _(ping) 15:58, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

I don't know if there are reliable sources for this claim. Sometime back I read that Kamal was the youngest actor to win a Best Actor National Award when he won it for the film. —Vensatry _(ping) 16:00, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Reference number 28 of Moondram Pirai is from The Hindu which explains about the song. So, there is a source for the claim. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 03:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

I know that there would be many sources for the song. I was talking about Kamal winning the award as the youngest winner. :) —Vensatry _(ping) 08:47, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Regarding that, I don't think there would be much sources. BTW, thx 4 d barnstar. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:12, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Nice expansion mate! Though he did many path-breaking films, one film that really stood out was Thanneer Thanneer. It was perhaps his most realistic film. Ethir Neechal, Bama Vijayam, Arangetram (not seen this fully though), Aval Oru Thodar Kathai, Apoorva Raagangal, Moondru Mudichu, Avargal, Maro Charitra, Ek Duuje Ke Liye, Achamillai Achamillai, Rudraveena and Pudhu Pudhu Arthangal are my favourites. —Vensatry _(ping) 18:40, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
