I will review this soon. EddieHugh (talk) 21:53, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The biggest problem with this article is its sources. Unfortunately, the problem is so great that the article warrants a quick fail. I considered giving the nominator some time, given that there's been a 4-month wait for a review, but have decided not to, as similar problems were raised all of 3 years ago, so the nominator should have been aware of them. More detail follows:

There are lots of dead links, all from March 2014.
There are citation needed tags from at least a month ago.
The source of some big claims is the subject's own website (source 64).
Lots of things that need sources do not have any.
Some things are attributed to a source, but the pertinent information is not in that source. E.g., 55 (no mention of critical or commercial success); 58 (Ekk Deewana Tha and People Like Us are not mentioned; the review of Jab Tak Hai Jaan is not very positive); 48 (I can find no mention of Sillunu Oru Kaadhal); 105b (source has 11 Filmfare and Filmfare Award South; article gives 15 and 13).

A reviewer should be able to assume good faith, but these examples illustrate that there are major problems with the article that are too serious to be addressed by a GAR – the final point in particular. I recommend that all of the above points be addressed and that every source be checked for fidelity. EddieHugh (talk) 22:41, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
