General[edit]

Fix the dead links first and follow a single reference style. Some of the references have dates like 2015-01-21. Please follow a style like 25 July 2013. (Looks better). — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 03:56, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Ethically^Yours! 07:33, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: Done All issues addressed. Ethically^Yours! 17:13, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers should be in italics. Reference no #6 and #66, use of Twitter for GA is inappropriate (even though it is by Taran Adarsh and Vishal Dadlani respectively). Find another source. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 03:58, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Ethically^Yours! 07:46, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reference no #2 has the website labelled as Firstpost.com whereas ref no #26 has labelled it as First Post. Fix them both as Firstpost. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 04:00, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Replaced. Ethically^Yours! 09:15, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reference no #93 from SBS.com.au - Is there an article for the website on Wikipedia? If so, wikilink it. If not, remove the source. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 04:07, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done SBS.com.au is Special Broadcasting Service, Australia. Added in ref tag. Ethically^Yours! 09:15, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Change reference nos #150, #151 and #155 to the reference style I mentioned in this review. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 07:14, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done I don't see any need to change 150, 151, but I've done 155. Ethically^Yours! 09:11, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

"About 68 minutes of footage were augmented with CGI by Reliance MediaWorks" — What does "augumented" mean? Can you replace it with a more understandable word? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 04:43, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Ethically^Yours! 08:46, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"but dropped the idea later." — Source? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 04:43, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have changed the sentence. Ethically^Yours! 08:46, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But still, is there a source which explains that she is not in the cast? If yes, add it. If not, just remove the entire part regarding Manorama (as it was just a speculation/rumour then). — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:26, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Removed. Ethically^Yours! 09:41, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Critical response[edit]

Trim some of the quotes and explain the critics's opinion of the Soundtrack album. Can you do this for IBNLive and Rediff.com? For Rediff.com, it sounds as if it is focusing only on SPB's song. It is best if you rewrite Rediff.com's statement. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 06:26, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done IBN Live and Rediff done as needed. Ethically^Yours! 12:39, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Release[edit]

"Chennai Express was scheduled to be released in non-traditional international markets. In Peru, it was the first Hindi film to be released on the same day as in India." — Source? — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:56, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Ethically^Yours! 16:37, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Legal Issues[edit]

"Along with Once Upon ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara!, Chennai Express was initially abandoned by Pakistani distributors and exhibitors because four of their[who?] films were released on the same day." — Rectify the "who?" sign and source the sentence. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:56, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Ethically^Yours! 16:37, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is the 3rd paragrpah of the section explained in reference no. #65? If yes, then leave it as it is. If not, find a source for it. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 09:56, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Critical response[edit]

Trim some of the quotes and explain the critics's opinion of the film. You can do this for The Indian Express and Zee News as per WP:QUOTEFARM. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 06:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Ethically^Yours! 12:55, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Box office[edit]

Nothing wrong here. Use the INR template, not the INRConvert one as Rupee value changes. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 06:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure as to how to use that. INRConvert lists a of params but INR has no parameter values. Maybe if you could just help? Ethically^Yours! 12:55, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For example, the line "The film collected ₹292.50 million (US$3.5 million) on its opening day" Can be written as "The film collected ₹ 292.5 million on its opening day". I have done it for you. Do the same for all the INRConvert templates. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 15:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssven2: I don't see any apparent need to change them. It's the US $ values that may change (and that's better); the INR value remains constant, as provided from the markup. Ethically^Yours! 16:07, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, it's not a big deal anyway.

— Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 16:47, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Records[edit]

"Television premiere viewings" is unsourced. Please source it. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 06:38, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done I have removed the entire record as I did not find any RS. Ethically^Yours! 12:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's ok. This part is settled according to my opinion. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 15:28, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
