Multilingual films

Did Kaikala Satyanarayana and Mohan Babu act in Guru (1980)? In Telugu version, they appear. Did Rallapalli act in Shankar Guru (1987)? In Telugu version he appears. In Super (2010), Ali appears. Why are not they multilingual? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhysicsScientist (talk • contribs)

Okay if this is true, then you can add it because I was under the impression they were only dubbed rather than made simultaneously.

Jolly

Hai Srivin. Did the Telugu actors I mentioned act in the Tamil version of Jolly?

Never knew that this film had Telugu version, if Telugu version has filmed, i dont think they would have shot scenes with different actors. Sadly youtube doesn't have the link atleast it could have been used as source, please do check the film in television if it is true and also don't forget to include more films reshot with diff. actors under "Partially reshot films". Srivin (talk) 07:21, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

I saw the film yesterday in Telugu. I do not know whether it was partially reshot or fully dubbed. But the end credits are in Tamil.PhysicsScientist (talk) 08:33, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

OM

Do you know that om was unofficially remade as Arjun Pandit (1999 film) by --Sunuraju (talk) 03:18, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, i have heard about that, Any reason for asking this thing. Srivin (talk) 06:13, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

When I watched Arjunpandit I had notice there was similarities from om Kannada film . It turn out that director copied the story and didn't take credit from upenda . I watch Telugu remake of om there was female journalist who learns about satya and madhuri's story from madhuhi's sister and Arjun pandit where a dying gangster told the male commiseratr about Arjun being teacher turned gangster by love. Kannada audience noticed Arjun pandit similarities with om which lead upendra filed lawsuit against makers of Arjun pandit after the film was flopped.--Sunuraju (talk) 07:37, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Screenplay

Does screenplay mean story? Main Sunder Hoon was directed by Krishnan-Panju but had screenplay by Balachander as it was remake of his own film Server Sundaram. Leta Manasulu, the Telugu remake of Kuzhandaiyum Deivamum was directed by Krishnan-Panju. The latter had screenplay by Javar Seetharaman. Does it mean the former also had screenplay by him?PhysicsScientist (talk) 11:03, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Story means concept, screenplay means plot written in a scene by scene order. Yes, Javar Seetharaman wrote the script. Srivin (talk) 11:08, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Multilingual films

Manasunu Maaya Seyake is missing in List of multilingual Indian films. Is Neelambari (2001) a trilingual film?PhysicsScientist (talk) 12:41, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, Manasunu Maya Seyake was simultaneously made in Tamil however the Tamil version remains unreleased, I don't think it can be included. No, I don't think Neelambari was a trilingual project. Srivin (talk) 15:53, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Is not Rudhramadevi a bilingual project?PhysicsScientist (talk) 05:22, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

I don't think so, it would be better if you observe the lip-sync of actors mouthing dialogues which might give you a clue about language. Srivin (talk) 07:21, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Vinod Kumar

I saw a Tamil dubbed (I think so) Telugu film which stars Vinod Kumar and Thriller Manju as cops and Devan is villain. Its dubbed version name is Rough and Tough. Do you know its original name?PhysicsScientist (talk) 14:39, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Kollywood

Who is the third biggest star in Kollywood after Rajni and Kamal?PhysicsScientist (talk) 15:37, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I think Ajith might be that star, well I don't know exactly. Srivin (talk) 15:45, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Who was the third biggest star in Kollywood after Rajni and Kamal during the 90s? (I forgot to mention the decade yesterday)PhysicsScientist (talk) 00:34, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

During 90s... umm... Rajini and Kamal were still famous despite the arrival of Vijay and Ajith. I don't know who was the third star. Srivin (talk) 08:33, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

When Sivaji and MGR ruled, Gemini was third. When Ajith and Vijay rule, Surya also fits. I too don't know who is the missing link in Rajini-Kamal's reign. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:43, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Gentleman

Did Gentleman break all previous records?PhysicsScientist (talk) 15:37, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I don't know much about box-office results of films but all I can say that this film was successful and became a blockbuster at that time. Srivin (talk) 15:45, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Dasari Narayana Rao

Did Dasari Narayana Rao act in Ninaithale Inikkum (1979 film)? PhysicsScientist (talk) 16:19, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

No, he did not act in that film. Srivin (talk) 16:41, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Remakes

Do you know what are the remakes of Rangoon Rowdy and Sita Ramulu in Tamil or Hindi? The story of the former is as follows. A poor boy and a rich girl are good friends. The girl is kidnapped. Years later, the hero works on a ship and heroine becomes a singer under the control of the villain. The hero has a step brother. His lover's uncle is none other than the hero's father. The latter has been remade in Hindi as Haisiyat and has similarities with Mannan.PhysicsScientist (talk) 08:14, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Don't you know the films?PhysicsScientist (talk) 01:33, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

If you do not know the films, just leave me a message "No". I am in a dilemma whether you saw this message as you did not send message yesterday or today.PhysicsScientist (talk) 10:28, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

I am really sorry, I've indeed read your message but didn't know what to say, please don't take me wrong. I don't know the remake I've searched I could not get the info. Srivin (talk) 12:00, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Unknown Tamil film

I saw a Tamil dubbed film almost a decade ago on TV. In the film, a bishop was killed by his uncle. A CBI officer takes his finger prints on a tumbler and proves that he is the culprit. Do you know its name?PhysicsScientist (talk) 06:22, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Is it dubbed from Hollywood, Hindi or other south indian language. Srivin (talk) 11:38, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Gross

What it gross - money earned by a film or profit ?PhysicsScientist (talk) 06:49, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Don't you know?PhysicsScientist (talk) 13:50, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I don't know about this. Srivin (talk) 14:06, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

PhysicsScientist, "gross" is a basic accounting term that represents all the money brought in by a venture. Let's say you run a restaurant that collects 2 million Euros from customers per year. That's your gross. When you subtract your expenses like employee wages, the amount you spent on lettuce and other ingredients, your rent, you're left with a "net" (or "nett" as they say in India). If you did well, your net will be your profit, but your net may also be a loss. In Indian cinema articles, gross is all the money that was collected for a film. Nett gross is all the money collected minus entertainment taxes, and nett, I believe, is all the money left over. In Wikipedia film articles, we typically only care about two values: the film's budget, and the film's gross. Let the trade papers be obsessive about the microfinancial details. Hope that helps even though the answer is late. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:41, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

WP:PEACOCK at Vijay (actor)

C'mon, Srivin... with 11,000 edits under your belt, you should not be submitting gloriously fluffy content like this. "Huge" is subjective, and is certainly not the tone expected of an encyclopedia. "The Earth is a huge 93 million miles from the sun." No.

"Second most popular" is obviously an opinion and should be presented as such, by attributing the opinion to a specific reliable voice, ex: "Forbes described Vijay as the second most popular actor in South India according to their XYZ poll released in DD MONTH YYYY" or whatever.

"Despite his adulation"? "Prestigious Rs.100 crore club"? "Remarkable feat"? If you intend to continue editing here, you need to be aware that your personal editorials are inappropriate in an academic resource. If you haven't already, please read WP:NPOV and live by it. Oh, and "one of the most searched actors" is glaringly misleading if the source says Kollywood, which only represents a tiny niche of the world's population or interest. I implore you to please avoid these mistakes in the future. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:24, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

I also find it very odd that I find the same content about the 100 crore club written verbatim in this cached version of an Indiaglitz article, or in this blog post. This would tend to suggest that the content was copied from one of these sources, which would be a violation of our copyright policy and would constitute plagiarism, which is a serious breach of academic integrity. It's also possible that one of these sources copied content from Wikipedia, so I'm not accusing you of it, but if you did copy content, do not do this again, please. Prose must be written from scratch in your own words unless you are directly quoting and citing. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:32, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions, my intention was to expand the article as everyone knows that he is one of the successful stars in Tamil cinema and also considering that June 22 is his birthday, I updated information regarding his popularity. I do not know whether the information I updated is wrong or the references used is wrong. Maybe you can do something to make it precise without making it appear trivial. Srivin (talk) 13:08, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Remakes of Telugu films

You contributed to many Telugu films by adding their remakes or original versions. How did you get the knowledge?PhysicsScientist (talk) 02:28, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

I just guessed it by reading the story plot thats all. Srivin (talk) 06:14, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Prequel

I believe that you are incorrectly adding films to the category "Indian prequel films". According to Prequel, it is an earlier time frame of a previously released work. The first film of a series does not qualify as a prequel. Only if it came out after one of the others. For example: "Billa II: The Beginning is a 2012 Indian Tamil-language gangster film directed by Chakri Toleti. It is a prequel to Billa (2007) and focuses on how David, an ordinary man from the coastal regions of South Tamil Nadu, becomes Billa." BollyJeff | talk 01:05, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, I got the word "Prequel" wrong, I thought first part is a prequel. Srivin (talk) 02:49, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

WP:CRYSTAL

Hi Srivin, sourcing is the only thing that makes Wikipedia even remotely believable as an academic resource. When you add content with no sources as you did here, you do not improve Wikipedia's strength. There are very obvious embedded notes in the cast section which you somehow ignored, but even if there weren't notes there, you should know by now that any claim about a future event needs to be sourced per WP:CRYSTAL. We're not here to make unfounded predictions about the future. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:50, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, I updated the cast after watching theatrical trailer of the film, I dont know whether trailer is reliable enough to be believed in. Srivin (talk) 13:10, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes, trailers aren't always the best sources to believe as many scenes in them may not always make the final cut of the film. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:27, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Ilaiyaraaja Top 300 songs

Dinamalar has released a list which you could use in various articles. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:13, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the list, but for what section I should use the details from this list. Srivin (talk) 15:36, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

I don't know, maybe anything? "En Iniya Pon Nilave" is featured in the list "Top 300 Paadalgal", and I mentioned that in Moodu Pani's soundtrack section. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:02, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Unexplained reordering of cast

Hi Srivin, I'd appreciate if you'd please not reorder cast as you did here without providing a rational explanation consistent with existing guidelines. Per Template:Infobox film, we derive the |starring= contents of the infobox from a film poster's billing block (the printed text that typically appears at the bottom). Obviously the Raaz Reboot poster doesn't have a billing block, (like many Indian films) so that raises the question of where you got this order. The film hasn't been released, so you didn't get it from the official onscreen credits. We have an ongoing problem with people reordering cast based on arbitrary personal preference, which is disruptive. There was a whole thing a while back, where two editors were idiotically battling over whether Mammootty or Mohanlal should be listed first. The fight began at Twenty:20 and carried over into numerous film articles. It was ridiculous. Since film posters and onscreen credits are pretty much set in stone because they're widely published, and they are primary sources, we use these resources rather than newspapers and typical online sources. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:33, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Dhananjayan's books

As heartbreaking as it may sound, G. Dhananjayan's books may no longer be considered useful for taking articles to FA status as they have, to some extent, copied content from Wikipedia. They could, however, be useful for de-stubbing articles and are acceptable for GA level. I believe Devadasu has FA potential, so could you please see which Dhananjayan source can be replaced? Kailash29792 (talk) 04:31, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
