Introduction

"However, the way the muslim religion is portrayed in this film is not the way muslims behave in everyday life. This movie is based more on the Pakistani culture rather tham Islam, which are not the same."

1. This part sounds pretty subjective. 2. Sentences are not supposed to start with 'however'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.216.64.18 (talk) 15:37, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this and changed the preceding sentence to fix the problem. The user who added those sentences appears to go around editing articles relating to women in Islam. I'll call it vandalism since the user just tacks similar badly formed rebuttals onto the articles, instead of addressing the concerns on the talk pages. -- Crnk Mnky 07:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fish and Chips?

'In France the film was retitled Fish and Chips. ...' Really? Or is this a wind up? Even if it's not, then the elipsis should be removed after chips - POV. - Tpacw (talk) 11:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it. There was no source or anything. Futuremyst (talk) 20:49, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sikhism/Islam

This may be my own ignorance (very likely!) but the wedding in the film appears to me to have elements of Sikhism about it? Especially the men wearing turbans. I was under the impression that this didn't happen in Islam, rather they would wear close fitting hats (similar to a skull cap). Anyone know better? -Tpacw (talk) 11:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not complete at all

I read the article and found out to my distress that there are some essential parts of the film synopsis missing. Neither does it tell about Nazir's further appearances in the film nor does it inform the reader that George has a second wife in Pakistan which is a conflict between Ella and George. There is furthermore no analysis or interpretation of the film or a reception history telling under which circumstances Ayub Khan-Din wrote the screenplay and that he sees himself in the role of Sajid. --77.186.115.30 (talk) 15:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)Yuzuki77.186.115.30 (talk) 15:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)--[reply]

The synopsis is also far too long and highly subjective. --86.40.28.61 (talk) 14:09, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done added first wife. 188.28.159.13 (talk) 21:27, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'On a comedic note'

Why has someone added 'on a comedic note' or 'comically' to the beginning of several statements on the plot? It's a comedy - do we really need to be told there are funny sections? Smurfmeister (talk) 10:59, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
