Writing Style

This article has got lots of grammatical and spelling issues. I am not sure if I can tag the article or not.--25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ^🍁 16:48, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

25 Cents FC I think this concern has more or less been fixed by edits so far. I am removing the tag. --Venkat TL (talk) 20:10, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Music section

I have restored song list from article history Special:Permalink/1102270065. Please do not remove important info from this page, even if another page on Music exists. A song article does not mean there will be no song list on this page. Venkat TL (talk) 18:51, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

@Venkat TL: Then what is the use of the soundtrack article created? I suggest you to check so many articles like Beast (2022 Indian film) in which a seperate article was created for Beast (soundtrack) & Rocketry: The Nambi Effect for which a seperate article was created named Rocketry: The Nambi Effect (soundtrack). It seems you have restored important infos from this page only. We are not supposed to remove important info only right. But then can we remove the songs from the main article right since it is present in another soundtrack article? What is wrong in that? Theoder2055 (talk) 19:46, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

@Theoder2055 There is no use of the Soundtrack article right now, because there is not enough content to do a WP:SPLIT. Feel free to merge that article here. But dont remove valid content from this article. Venkat TL (talk) 20:40, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

@Venkat TL But then it seems you have restored important infos from this page. But you didn’t do the same to other pages like Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. There were also important infos about the film’s song but then that was not present in the main article but instead was present in another soundtrack article. Even the same happened to Cobra (2022 film) and other film pages like Shamshera, Vikrant Rona in which seperate soundtrack article was created. How is that fair? Also dubbed soundtracks cannot be included in the main article, instead they can be included in the seperate soundtrack article. So for that at least we should create a seperate soundtrack article right? Theoder2055 (talk) 07:22, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Please read WP:SPLIT and Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. you should not create new article by removing content from here without discussion. The Music article has been merged here. If you do it again, the article will be nominated for deletion.Venkat TL (talk) 07:39, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Removal of the "Reaction" section?

The Reaction section has just two statements in response to something and it doesn't really make sense since they are not reactions to the release of the movie as it hasn't been released yet. I propose removing it. Lord Clayton7 (talk) 19:46, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

@Lord Clayton7, agree to remove. Both are from the producers, and entirely promotional as expected. Venkat TL (talk) 06:47, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Agree, removed. PrisonerB (talk) 11:12, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Zero info provided regarding boycott trend

It is very important to add some info regarding the boycott of this movie, as the movie has been more in the news because of the boycott than for any other reason. Plus, the movie's earnings severely impated due to it. Both actors finally requested the audience not to boycott it Aisheee (talk) 13:46, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Yes, that has not been mentioned in the article, along with the controversy about portrayal of the armed forces. It should be added. Kpddg ^(talk) 15:16, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. How can we add them. I personally would rather have a more experienced writer do it. It should be done in a way that neither demonizes the artists, nor the public. The fact should be stated: that one of the Artists called on the audiences to not watch her movies, and the other artist has been labelled by the public as being insensitive to religions Aisheee (talk) 17:46, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Let's wait for some time, and see if there are any other comments. Then the information can be added based on reliable sources. Kpddg ^(talk) 10:51, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't think anyone will. It has been weeks since the movie released. Aisheee (talk) 23:09, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

@Aisheee has made a very valid request. The controversy has gone on for quite a while. I'd like to add the section myself but am a n00b at editing wikis. Can anyone help? I'd be glad to provide sources. @Kpddg are you a Mod? May I request guidance from you on requesting help from the community? Vishal suchak (talk) 18:11, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

There haven't been any comments till now, so I'll go ahead and add it in a while. And @Vishal suchak, I'm not sure what you mean by 'mod' though. If you mean administrator, I am not one. Kpddg ^(talk) 10:59, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

I have added a section now in this edit. Kpddg ^(talk) 11:24, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

That's what I meant to ask: are you an administrator, when I asked if you were a mod (moderator). Thank you for adding the controversies section. Here's a news source from August 8, https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/will-the-cancel-culture-affect-laal-singh-chaddha-raksha-bandhan-at-the-box-office-11024671.html which spoke about the worrying-impact of cancel culture on the Indian Hindi-film industry. Here's another news source listing on-ground protests staged by political parties and religious groups https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/punjab/sikh-leaders-shiv-sena-come-face-to-face-during-protest-against-aamir-khans-film-laal-singh-chaddha-in-jalandhar-421059. This article speaks about a) protests beyond a hashtag b) adds that Hindu groups were offended by another Aamir Khan film—PK, and not just an offhand statement from 2015—cited in the new edit already. Thank you for your time, consideration and helping make this page more robust. Vishal suchak (talk) 14:18, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

@Venkat TL, in this edit you merged the controversies section into the Indian critical reception section. And you also wrote that the film was boycotted by the 'ruling party BJP and its supporters'. But the corresponding citation (1) does not back this statement. Please explain. Kpddg ^(talk) 16:06, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

I would say this "ruling party BJP" sentence should be immediately removed. Another sentence must be added- Based on leading actress's statement Thank you :) 2A01:E0A:911:1070:7979:EA06:1A15:2129 (talk) 16:52, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

His mother named him Laal after a favorite ancestor and hoped he would honor them. His mother never let him lose courage despite his weak legs. She told him he was normal. She told him to ignore those who say he can manage things alone: only Rupa D'souza, a female student, respected Laal. After school, Rupa would avoid going home with her friend. Laal faced lifelong harassment. Other lads teased him at school. Classmates attacked Laal as he walked home from school. Rupa told him to flee the thugs. Laal hobbled with leg braces. The bracing' fasteners gradually loosened. As the metal broke apart, the bracing disappeared. Laal instantly realized she could flee. Laal ran everywhere after that.

Laal visited Rupa when she missed class. When he came, Rupa was outside sobbing. Her mother was abused. Rupa's mother’s appeal for her father's compassion was always upsetting for her. How could she? She lived with constant fear. She begged her god to be wealthy so she could stop the slaughter and help her father. That day, it went too far. Police arrested the father after the mother's death. Rupa lives with her grandma, Laal's housekeeper. Laal was thrilled that Rupa was permanently his. Laal's mum sent him and Rupa through Hindu College in Delhi. Laal ran track in college, while Rupa became a model. She figured she could retire comfortably as a model or actress. She wanted to move to Mumbai and get rich. Laal's mother sheltered her only kid in no ordinary way. She told him malaria had broken out and he was only safe if he stayed in his room when the country was inflamed.

Laal stayed inside throughout the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the 1990 Rathyatra, and the 1992 Mandal Commission riots. Laal joined the Army, and Rupa moved to Mumbai to act. Laal and Balaraju Bodi were military buddies. Since ancient times, Bodi's ancestors made underpants. After the Army, Bodi proposed they make underpants. Laal enthusiastically agreed to be his business partner. India and Pakistan fought in 1999. Laal and Bala fought together. Infiltrators occupied one of the tops, so their soldiers captured it. The Indian forces underestimated Pakistani troop numbers since they could see the battle from a higher vantage point. Rupa told Laal to run when danger loomed. Exactly. At the bottom of the cliff, he realized Bala had been left behind. He continued returning, but more of his companions needed help. The Pakistani commander was also unconscious when he looked up. He didn't know whom to trust. Both were hoisted and lowered. He couldn't save Bala, but he held five other soldiers and was awarded by the Indian government.

Rupa ignored Laal's letters. Individuals, groups, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) protested Rupa's alleged vulgarity. She surrounded herself with bad influences. She wanted quick money. She got in trouble by trying to save time. She was used by a thug who abandoned her (parallels are made to the controversial relationship of the infamous gangster Abu Salem and Monica Bedi ). Rupa can't act. Laal saw her regularly. He once saw a mobster slap her. In the end, he beats the criminal. Rupa told him to quit saving her. Rupa realized that only Laal cared about her, while the rest used her. She loved him but had different goals. She craved financial prosperity.

Laal began making lingerie as Bala desired. He made intimate attire with two other tailors, but they couldn't sell it. Mohammed Baaji joined the group afterward. Laal spared Mohammed’s life. He didn't know whether to thank Laal for saving his life or curse him for making him lose both legs. He warned Laal he'd die in combat. He wanted to kill Laal but couldn't. Finally, a non-hater. He didn't understand that an opponent should die. He couldn't distinguish between people. Mohammed Baaji owes his life to a madman who saw good in everyone. He thought that renaming the brand after a lady would boost sales. Laal knew one female. Rupa became his business name (a funny take on the knitwear giant). The company's underwear sales in India soared and swiftly became national. Mohammed Baaji founded a school in his own country. Laal's mother left, orphaning him. He thought of Rupa sometimes. After his mother died, he started farming full-time. His happiness about Rupa's homecoming was brief. Police searched for her after learning of her gangster ties. Six months in prison left Laal alone. Without warning, Rupa left. He was resentful. He couldn't overcome rage, pain, and despair. So he ran. Perhaps he wanted to escape his history, isolation, and grief. He felt running away may help him escape. Some thought he was headed for a bigger goal. The journalists followed him. His itinerary included the Himalayas and Kanyakumari. Runner from the western desert to the eastern Bay of Bengal. He quit running after months. His popularity grew. They ran with him. They questioned his pause. They waited in silence for a thoughtful response. They hoped to learn the bearded man's identity. Laal was simple and only understood basic ideas. He was exhausted and wanted to go home.

Rupa wrote Laal letters throughout his departure, which he found to be a pleasant surprise. After serving time, she moved to Chandigarh. Laal was excited to meet her. Laal discovered from Rupa that she had a son named Aman. Rupa revealed he was the father when he thought she was married. Laal was ecstatic. Rupa's condition deteriorated quickly, and she knew she was dying. Laal fulfilled a longstanding dream by marrying her. Laal made lifelong memories despite Rupa's departure. Laal enrolled Aman at his high school. Dropping him off at school was like opening a chest of old memories and thoughts. He'd never forget the day his mom waited for him. He remembered meeting Rupa. Now a new page must be turned on life's wheel.
