Overall: There are verbatim segments from Tamil MDB in the plot summary. ([1]) While the copyvio is obviously the main issue, I'd also propose some cleaning up of the hook itself: ALT2: ... that despite a disappointing box office performance, Iyarkai made a profit?

- @Wracking: Did you see this alternate hook : ... that Iyarkai is based on a true story of a man who got lost in the Mediterranean Sea and never returned? Source: https://www.rediff.com/movies/2006/oct/17jan.htm Will try to fix plot issues. DareshMohan (talk) 01:03, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- I see it now! I like it. My only concern then is to make sure that point is clear in the article. As it stands, the article itself does not clearly say that the man never returned, even though the source does. I think just adding that bit to the article would help. Once the copyvio issues are fixed, just let me know! Wracking 💬 02:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Wracking: Thanks, I have fixed the copyvio issues and added that bit to the article. DareshMohan (talk) 02:55, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- @DareshMohan: rechecked for copyvio and it turned out good!
for ALT1 and ALT2, with a preference for ALT1: ... that Iyarkai is based on a true story of a man who got lost in the Mediterranean Sea and never returned?
