Talk:Abhay (2001 film)

Language of the film and taste

@Kailash, This film was originally shot in Tamil and only three characters (Teju’s mother and father and the doctor) were replaced by Smita Jaykar and Navin Nischol and Vallabh Vyas. Moreover in the Tamil version the run time is 164 minutes and in for the Hindi version so many scenes are cut and the total runtime remains only 129 minutes. The Tamil version is tasteful while the Hindi version was very boredom creator. In a scene where Psycho Kamal hits Major Kamal from the jail by biting the room’s concrete, this is not shown in the Hindi version though the mark on Major’s forehead is seen. The killing scene of Manisha is not properly shown in the Hindi version and the Hindi doctor spoke rubbish. Tamil dialogues are more energetic than the Hindi. I think this page should be deleted and all other duplicate or dubbed and a few scenes re-shot films page should be reviewed again and may be considered for deletion.

I was initially against Aalavandhan and Abhay having separate articles, but conceded since I had no other choice. We must somehow request indefinite create-protection for Abhay since it is not so distinct from Aalavandhan. --Kailash29792 (talk) 08:16, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

@Kailash, now you decide about the page, should it remain or be deleted. Hindi version was cut from the Tamil version and the producer S Thanu and director Suresh didn’t publicize the Hindi version well. Though there are good references about the Hindi version’s review. Moreover the leading actor Haasan is a Tamil film actor. Shipir Bipir (talk) 08:23, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

We merge both articles. It's quite pathetic that there are not that many reliable reviews for the Tamil version, apart from The Hindu. --Kailash29792 (talk) 08:30, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

@Kailash, this page has been redirected to Aalavandhan. Shipir Bipir (talk) 07:06, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
