Lead

• Can you add (a wind instrument) after Nadaswaram for our non Tamil readers.

@Dr. Blofeld: I have added a footnote about the Nadaswaram. Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 09:36, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• Correct link to Thiruvarur and in the article body

@Dr. Blofeld: Earlier, it was Tiruvarur, but I guessed someone might have moved the page. So, I have done it as you suggested. Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 09:38, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• "songs like "Nalandhana", "Maraindhirundhu" and "Pandian Naanirukka" remain popular today." In Tamil Nadu I gather, or southern India? Certainly not on a wider scale. Perhaps add in ...

@Dr. Blofeld: I have done as you suggested. Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 09:38, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Plot

• "to marry a rich man so that she can be richly" -Avoid repetition of rich

@Dr. Blofeld: I have re-written the sentence as "to marry a wealthy man so that she can settle down in life properly" Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 09:40, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• What is " Thamizhisai Sangam"?

@Dr. Blofeld: Thamizhisai Sangam is where music and dance is performed. It is a general name for auditoriums and other places where music and dance are perfomed. But I have re-written the line. Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 09:45, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

You don't need to keep pinging me, I have the review open on another tab!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:48, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Thank you for mentioning it. :) Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 09:51, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Production

• "a nadaswaram" -no capital letter this time?

Re-written it with a capital letter and in italics this time. Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 09:51, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• Link Padmini in casting.

Linked Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 10:00, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• "Her character, Mohanambal, vied with Ganesan's character professionally, even though they fell in love in the film" -doesn't really make sense.

Re-written the sentence. Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 10:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• "e suffix "Sikkal" due to his sensitive nature and tendency to get irritated" -makes no sense to non Tamil speakers, add a note on its Tamil meaning or something

Linked "Sikkal". I have written that "Sikkal" means tendency to get into trouble. Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 10:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• "Ganesan attended Carnatic music concerts,and" -add space after comma

Added Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 10:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Music

• Can you reword "None of the songs in the film had a singer for Ganesan because it focuses on music and dance."

Re-written as "Ganesan did not have a playback singer for any of the songs in the film." Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 10:48, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• sangati '​s ?? note?

Given. Note d. Also added a reference book source. Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 10:48, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Reception

• Repetition of "completed"

Re-written as "had" for one of the repeated words. Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 11:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• "The Tamil magazime" -typo

Corrected Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 11:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

• Some of the quotes are really superfluous. I think you should paraphrase a few like I did with the actor quotes to improve flow and readability.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:53, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Paraphrased. Tell me where I should paraphrase more please. Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 11:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Accolades

• (talk page stalker) I think all those quotes here can be either in reception or legacy. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:49, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

I moved them even before I read this here!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:52, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

References

• Does ref 60 title really need to be in cap locks?♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:55, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

The heading of the article was in caps lock, so i wrote it as per written in the source. You want me to change it? Thamizhan1994 (^{Appo Pesu}) 11:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:05, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
