SRK's Fan
Looks like SRK has something better to offer since his villainous act in Don 2. What do you think of this, the trailer of Fan? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 02:01, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Looks intriguing, yes. It's quite sad that since Chak De! India and My Name is Khan, most of Khan's films have been such a mess, mostly rehashes of the commercial formula. This year, with Fan, Raaes and Gauri Shinde's film, it looks like he finally has some good parts. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 02:25, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- SRK's biggest blunders were his choices to collaborate with Farah Khan and Rohit Shetty. Since My Name is Khan, i liked only Don 2, mainly because of his performance in a role which is not silly, like Rahul of Chennai Express. More than Fan and Shinde's film, i am waiting for Raees. Somehow i find it very intriguing and out-of-the-blue. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 04:57, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, it does sound very unique for a Hindi film, doesn't it? --Krimuk|90 (talk) 08:47, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Indeed. The concept of a bootlegger joining politics and a tough police trying to nab him in the 1980s. There too, the bootlegger is the protagonist. Looks like SRK has consciously chosen grey shaded/anti heroic roles this time. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:01, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- He did mention in The Hindu that his dream was to open and manage a proper film institution (here it is and here as well in case you can't find it). Guess he's trying to justify it by choosing out-of-the-blue roles.
— Ssven2 Speak 2 me 10:00, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, I did not know that. Will be awesome if he does. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 10:02, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- That is indeed a good news. But, the chase sequences in the trailer of Fan esp. the bike and rooftops remotely reminds me of this. Considering that you both watch a good number of films, any "nostalgia" worth sharing, Krimuk and Ssven2? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 10:08, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- I'm currently enthralled by both Brie Larson and Alicia Vikander. Such extraordinary talents at such a young age. In addition to their Oscar winning roles, you should see them in Short Term 12 and Testament of Youth, respectively. Vikander's also awesome in Ex Machina of course. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 10:19, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- SRK looks to open up an institution using Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler (one of the bedrock personnels of modern method acting after Stanislavski, Meisner and Kazan) as an inspiration. A lot of New Hollywood actos and some Classic Hollywood actors (particularly those who made their debut in the 50s) use it. Yeah, Vikander is growing on everyone. Ex Machina is one of the best contemporary films I've seen and I'm happy it won the Oscar for Visual Effects. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 10:21, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

- Ex Machina is way better than Star Wars!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:19, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Vikander has one of the most wonderfully melancholic faces that I've ever seen. Each scene of her in The Danish Girl significantly raised the bar of the film. It's kind of ridiculous that she was considered a supporting actress in it when she was as much a lead role in it as Redmayne. Her role in Ex Machina should have been a better fit in that category. Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly on how good Ex Machina is. I saw it immediately after it released last year, when not many people had heard of it, and I was completely enthralled by it. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 10:28, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- That's great. I'll catch up on Vikander's other films soon. Do try to watch my recommendations I've listed on your Films seen talk page. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 10:31, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- So many films to watch, so many books to read, so many places to travel to, but so little time with a full-time job and such. :( Haha. But I'll definitely try to see some soon. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 10:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Same with me. My job timings on Tuesdays and Wednesday are 8:30am to 9:30pm. And it takes half-an-hour to get home. This only gives me enough time to watch an episode of any TV show. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

See you've now seen Repulsion. Loeba considers it the most disturbing film she's ever seen, guessing you view it the same haha. It's certainly not a Disney film!! It is creepy as hell, that and 10 Rillington Place I consider among the creepiest. It is included on Ebert's site as the 102 films you must see before you die. I'd seen 101 of them, all great classics, watching the only one I've not seen now :-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:24, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Glad to see you've caught up with Repulsion, Krimuk. Really disturbing egg, that one. Dr. Blofeld, as for Ebert, I've seen 62 of those, still 40 more to go! BTW, I thought you didn't like Night of the Living Dead. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 12:09, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Much of Night of the Living Dead was him preparing to board up a house rather than true horror, so I don't consider it a very good film no. The beginning was great though. Perhaps I should see it again sometime. Most of the films on that 102 list are must see classics. Any true film buff should have seen them all! I've seen The Big Red One but forgot to add it to my list, I've been watching The Crying Game♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:12, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Dr. Blofeld: Never really was much of a zombie film fan (imaginative but utter nonsense really). World War Z was quite good, courtesy of Brad Pitt's performance. Hopefully a virus like that doesn't come out! Mention of The Crying Game reminds me of this (from 03:17 to 04:47). You could hear him say "it's the crying games". — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 12:18, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Low budget zombie films and overblown CGI superhero/teeny bopper films tend to constitute the worst in film in general. The generic slasher/zombie movie is pretty trashy. A proper intelligently made psychological thriller like Repulsion is far far scarier than anything they usually have to offer. Probably the scariest thing I ever saw was The Sculptress with Pauline Quirke. One of the scenes in it stands out as more shocking than anything I've ever seen on film and I've seen the Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom haha! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:28, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Dr. Blofeld: Have you seen X: The Man with the X-ray Eyes yet? magnificent I tell you. Milland is outstanding in it! Do watch it ASAP if you haven't. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 13:17, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Not seen it nope.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:20, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Dr. Blofeld: It almost comes close to Lost Weekend and Dial M IMO. Do see it. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 13:22, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Dr. Blofeld: Have you seen X: The Man with the X-ray Eyes yet? magnificent I tell you. Milland is outstanding in it! Do watch it ASAP if you haven't.

I'll watch it after you've seen The Tenant or Notorious Landlady!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:24, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Dr. Blofeld: Figured you would be saying it. Notorious Landlady is up next. Started watching it just right about now. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 13:26, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
All the Colors of the Dark is pretty creepy! A different kind of creepy to Repulsion though as it's a giallo. Edwige Fenech is very attractive!!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:49, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Lupita portrait
Hi there! Don't fret - the Ms. magazine portrait of Lupita - on the new issue - is a freely licensed image. I spent my Friday afternoon at Ms. magazine in Los Angeles working with the staff to freely licensed all issues from 2002 until now. So don't fret - it is licensed freely. Check out the rest of the collection here - OTRS included. Missvain (talk) 17:39, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Glad to see someone work on her article, I once planned to expand it myself. Although I am busy with expanding Ms redhead's article, would you mind if I be of minor assistance? Anyway, I would completely understand if you want to work alone. FrB.TG (talk) 12:32, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Hai, I have put this for FLC. Can you spare some time to take a look at it. --Inside the Valley (talk) 12:20, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Just saw BM today. Great egg! Vat a lavli film! Ranveer's so full of energy (hard to imagine anyone else as Bajirao) and the song is goddamn addictive (It's still running in my head as I'm writing this message!). The film too is pretty grand stuff from SLB. Although PC's character of Kashibai was physically disabled in reality, she made the role seem very believable. Jhakkas. ;-) — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 11:25, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- I know right! I thoroughly enjoyed the film as well, but was disappointed with how over-the top Bhansali chose to get towards the end. Overall, the film was excellent except for the last 20 minutes. Nevertheless, the cinematography, costumes and art design were impeccable, as were Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra's performances. Padukone, I thought was a bit stunted in the role - a bit of a miscast if you ask me. She's excellent in contemporary films like Piku, but in this she seemed a little out of place. Chopra, of course owned the film. I always considered her to be an actress who generally acts out her feelings too strongly on screen and is generally good in overly strident roles. But in this one, she knocks it out of the park in a thoroughly internalised performance. Tanvi Azmi is an actress of tremendous strength, no doubt of that, but in this film Chopra's supporting act stood out far more than her. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 02:00, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Chopra should have won it instead of Azmi really (not to underestimate Azmi's performance, woh to bhi accha tha). You're right, Chopra ne chakka laga is performance pe. I used to really detest Ranveer until after watching this film. Pagal hai woh! And what energy and the performance was gutsy too! BTW, I've added a few more material to Piku's accolades. Can I be a co-nominator for its FLC? — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 02:07, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- He's fabulous! He's the best actor of his generation, alongside Ranbir Kapoor. Bajirao Mastani will be but a stepping stone for an incredibly bright career. Yeah, of course you can be a co-nominator. I always appreciate some help. Btw, I usually wikilinks all instances of a person's name in the accolades table, since it's meant to be sortable. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 02:13, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- If you don't mind me asking, is it Bhansali's signature style to end films on a tragic note with overrated sequences? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 02:15, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- He's mad as a hatter! Absolutely mad!! (In a good way). I still really haven't warmed up to Ranbir (To me, he's someone who's more famous for his personal life than on-screen life, but he was quite good in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani), but I've Ranveer's completely grown on me! Thanks for making me a co-nominator. BTW, Pavan, he's done it before in Devdas and Ram-Leela (haven't watched the latter yet). Not a signature style (Black and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam have pretty happy endings). But, he might believe it's working in his favour. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 02:18, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- The ending of BM diverted so much from actual historical facts that it became a bit too much for me to like. I am all for creative license, if done well, but this one was mostly played to elicit nostalgia from the Ram-Leela end. Which is a shame, because the rest of the film was so top-notch.--Krimuk|90 (talk) 02:22, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- I've seen Ram-Leela. It is a good film, and Deepika Padukone was excellent in it. I personally loved the songs "Tattad Tattad" and "Lahu Munh Lag Gaya" (both audio and the visuals). Perhaps, that's why i find her somewhat miscast in Bajirao Mastani. I think Bhansali killed them in Bajirao Mastani as he might have found them killing in Ram-Leela a good omen at the BO :p Pavanjandhyala (talk) 02:25, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Spot on there, Krimuk. It was purely a commercial move, the climax sequence. As for Ranbir, Wake Up Sid (which I haven't seen yet) might make me change my mind given the positive reviews it got. You might be right there, Pavan. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 02:29, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- I really don't think you should go by the media image of an actor. Ranbir is a stupendous actor - Rockstar, Barfi, and Wake Up Sid are his best performances. It's a shame that the Indian media does not realise that a person is so much more than the people he/she dates. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 02:29, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, I guess you're right. He did try quite some amount of method acting in Rockstar and Barfi. I'll watch them again sometime and I'll probably review them more favourably. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 02:32, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Your tweaks with Kalki Koechlin
Hey I appreciate your tweaks with Koechlin's article but I have to say that I added specific sources that refer to her as a pioneer! That definitely doesn't mean that I want to revert back to the previous version, (I kind of like yours better) but I must say that just the film roles are not what earn the actors a pioneer status, and she has done more work than any other actress probably off-screen to be a "pioneer" in the industry! All of these comments are just in context to your edit summary and nothing else. Tahnk you! NumerounovedantTalk 06:00, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- No problem. I think Koechlin is a fabulous personality, and believe that Bollywood generally underuses her talent. Anyway, I think the prose in general needs some tweaking. I believe Dr. Blofeld has expressed an interest in reviewing the article at FAC, and I'm sure his comments will help you improve the prose tremendously. Good luck! --Krimuk|90 (talk) 07:57, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you! NumerounovedantTalk 09:21, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

1 and 2 provide some info about the shooting of Ocean's Twelve in Italy for resolving Doc's comments at the GAR. BTW, great job on the article. One of my most favourite contemporary actresses. I always go gaga and do a jaw drop when I see her. Such beauty. Much like Naomi Watts, I believe. 
— Ssven2 Speak 2 me 08:12, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for all the help, Ssven. And yes, she's absolutely lovely. I really enjoyed writing about her. :) --Krimuk|90 (talk) 09:07, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- No problem. There are still some comments that aren't resolved. I would have written "done" there. Here they are in case you don't spot them.
- Early life
- "Her father is of Welsh origin, and her mother is of Welsh–Irish ancestry.[5]" -I think they're both Welsh nationality, but her mother has some Irish ancestry. the way it's worded makes it look like she is Irish.
- "In 1981, she played the lead role of Annie in a Swansea production of the musical, which was staged at the Swansea Grand Theatre.[3][6] Two years later, she played the lead role of Tullulah in a West End production of Bugsy Malone.[10] " -do we have any other background info on how she got to the West End, any quotes of wanting to become an actress etc?
- Do we have any theatrical quotes from critics? A quote about one of the productions even if not directly on Zeta might be useful.
- Career
- Did you like Roger Ebert in first instance?
- "She next reteamed with Soderbergh to film Ocean's Twelve, a sequel to the caper film Ocean's Eleven (2001), which also reunited her with stars Clooney, Pitt, and Roberts. S" -something about filming in Italy would be good here.
— Ssven2 Speak 2 me 09:12, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Uttama Villain
Finally you managed to watch this film, and i am happy for that. I loved Kamal's performance as the ageing star and the last ten minutes. How was your experience? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:29, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- His performance was really good, as were most parts of the film. However, at close to 3 hours the film suffered from too much indulgence - the sequences of the film within the film were fun to begin with, but was ultimately stretched beyond necessity. Of course, I commend the filmmakers for telling an original story, but they shouldn't get too carried away by it. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 01:16, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- If you can closely observe the last act i.e. the play, it resembles the final moments of Manoranjan. The king is his death, the princess is his family, and he himself is his legacy. The way this play ends suggests that Manoranjan won his family's support and his legacy stands unaffected due to his death. That was something really wonderful. There were such sequences in the film randomly. The film does suffer from a slow pace and longer runtime. Every time the film's footage comes, the feel created by Manoranjan's story gets washed out, and that was very disappointing. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 05:50, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- I feel that Haasan is a bit like Kubrick in this way. Both their films (when they are in-charge of the script especially) are underrated upon release as they were ahead of their time. Later on, they are considered as classics. The character of Manoranjan's portions are the best in the film, and KB too, sparkles in every moment he's on screen. He even starts the story of Uttaman with his famous dialogue from Server Sundaram, "Long Long Long Ago. So Long Ago, No One Knows How Long Ago." — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 06:40, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- I beg to differ. Kubrick's execution managed to reach the script's brilliance most of the times. However, Kamal's concepts are sometimes too heavy that their execution is badly affected and becomes very difficult. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:43, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Mainly its because of the limitations of each film industry in our country (budget, ask Avatar, which was in the pipeline for 12 years before being finally released.), level of understanding of the concept, the language barrier, choice of casting and yes, as you pointed out, his scripts are too heavy to execute. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 07:22, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Not always one should rue about the lack of resources. One should not be really judgmental about a film's casting; they can act only in the way they know, and as per the director's instructions. At the same time, i agree that not always a writer/screenwriter, irrespective of his intelligence and command over the craft, can effectively translate his thoughts onto the screen because of several other factors. But, IMHO, the way a film is narrated is more important than anything else. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 07:49, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Amen to that, brother. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 09:18, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Netflix
I've been checking out some of the TV series of late. Very good stuff, I can see why you binge watch a few of the series haha. There's too many films to watch though to dedicate too much time to TV. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:58, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, yes! There are so many good TV shows at the moment, and of such great quality. The ones by Netflix, Amazon, FX, Showtime and HBO are the best of the lot. Check out some of my favourite ones. Krimuk|90 (talk) 15:08, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Your edit on Katrina
Hello Krimuk. Thank you for bringing to my attention my edit without a login. Actors are described by their nationality in the lead and their origins/ethnicity in the "early life" section. For example, most American actors are of European origins but are described as American actors/actresses not Italian-American or British American. If you think I made a mistake or that your possible citation for Katrina being "British Indians" is stronger than the citation that she is indeed British, please reply here or drop me a note on my talk page. Thanks. Mousanonyy (talk) 13:59, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
Your edit on the article Alia Bhatt
Hello, Krimuk. I would like to bring into your notice that facts are important to the Wikipedia community irrespective of how they are produced. While reverting a well-cited statement on a protected page, you are requested to first discuss it on the talk page of the article. For your reference, similar to the page on Katrina Kaif, actors are described by the passports they hold/nationality they belong to in the lead and their origins/ethinicities are detailed int he section "early life". For a specific reference, Freida Pinto is an Indian actress who appears in Hollywood films. Similarly, Alia(and Katrina) is a British actress who appears in Bollywood films. If you wish to discuss more on it, please reply here or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mousanonyy (talk) 14:05, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
Deepika Padukone
The role was never finalised, one reference states, that Khan was merely casting for the film... the other one says "reportedly bagged a role", which agian doesn't seem substantial enough. She did act in the film but it was much later and others actresses were offered the role including Katrina Kaif. So see if you think it's appropriate to mention the part because in actual she never got cast for the role. See [1] she says "it never happened" and she had "two-three girls" nothing specific. I don't know but the claim sounds too meager. It's better removed. NumerounovedantTalk 10:28, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- Huh? That's the point. She was cast in the film, but it wasn't made then. There is no problem. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 10:29, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
No she wasn't she was just considered not even offered anything, just considered. Well, this is exhausting. Did your even read the reference Khan said that she thought she would but nothing more. I dont even know wht the TOI reference is there, It states nothing, neither does the other. Find a reference that states that was "cast" in the role and kindly rephrase. It's so misleading for readers. Rest it's up to you and your understanding. Thank you. NumerounovedantTalk 10:48, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

In Template:Infobox film, the budget parameter states "Insert the approximate production budget of the film. This is the cost of the actual filming, and does not include marketing/promotional costs (e.g. advertisements, commercials, posters)". Hope that actually helps. :) Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:20, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
