Comments by Msrag:

Based on my experience on Kahaani, I'll start the Peer review as I've keen interest in the article and the film as well. Since the article is just a "Start-class", I cannot be detail in my review for time being and will be reviewing only at a major level. Minor details cannot be reviewed now and can be taken only when the article is submitted to GA. So here we go.

• Firstly try following a simple Wiki style structure. Look for films like Kahaani and Ra.One for extensive detailed structures and layout. Normally for this article, I would suggest to incorporate the below structure.

1. Lead

2. Plot

3. Cast

4. Production

4.1 Development

4.2 Casting

4.3 Characters

4.4 Filming

4.5 Themes

5. Soundtrack

5.1 Reception

6. Marketing-->Teaser launch-response, Theatrical Trailer launch-response

6.1 Promotions-->Promotional campaigns

7. Release

7.1 Special screenings--> Cannes film festival screenings

7.2 Controversy-->(if any)

7.3 Television and home media-->Not now but can be included later

8. Reception

8.1 Critical response-->India, International

8.2 Box office-->India, International

9 Visuals and motifs

9.1 Allusions, inspirations & Styles

10 Impact-->(if any)

11 Sequel and remakes-->(if any)

• Next, looks like the article needs at least months of copy-editing. You can start working on that.
• Cast section is too long. As said above, try splitting that into Casting and Characters
• Critical reception is too long. Give a reading yourself and try to remove reviews from unreliable or not so reliable sources. Place the highly notable and positive reviews first (eg., media houses, major newspapers etc), followed by response from other personalities and then finish by negative reviews. Arrange all the review in descending order of its ratings.

That's pretty much from me as of now. It should at least take a week or two to bring the article in the suggested shape. Will be back with more. Take care till then. ...Msrag ^talk2me 09:50, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

I cannot agree more ! And, noting your wonderful work on Kahaani, i request you to start your work here. And, i was also thinking of EXACTLY same structure. So please start your work. Bineet Ojha |BINEET| 15:26, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

I just took a look at the article after Bineet pinged me, and I am not happy. Firstly, why are there two articles for Part 1 and Part 2? I'd suggest a speedy merge with this article. Second, sources are not of the best quality. Third, the prose is poor and very insufficient; a lot of research is needed, after which a thorough copy-edit is required. These are very broad aspects, which - upon completion - can allow a fine-tooth-comb analysis as well. This has the potential to be a GA, so I'd encourage you towards enlisting the help of editors to check through the article periodically, and to help you out in the research aspect. You could ping me again, or Msrag, or for that matter any editor actively involved in the Indian cinema task force. Good luck! ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:40, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Gangs 1

As a new article Gangs Of Wasseypur Part 1 has been created;,I feel it would be better to PR that page.Ayanosh (talk) 14:02, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Who created that article ?! Very 'strong' rejection from my side. As the film was produced at the same time, the article should be same. And the details of release can be provided in the Release section in a new sub-section. Bineet Ojha |BINEET| 15:29, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

ok, I am not getting one thing. This article is on both parts, right? That is unusual. Usually each part of a movie has separate articles. This articles states the release date, but the release date is actually that of part 1 ( I understand that the part 2 will be released later), right? So first decide what the article is about, both the parts, or just the first part?--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:32, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Two different pages were created for the two movies Gangs of Wasseypur Part 1 and Gangs of Wasseypur Part 2 but they were merged back by someone.Now there seems to be different views on it which i have listed on the talk page of Gangs of Wasseypur I dont want to start an edit war so i have listed it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force.But so far there seems to be no consensus to have two or one article,which in turn is affecting the PR and the development of the page.I personally am in favour of two articles.Ayanosh (talk) 07:38, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
