Mistakes in Mahanati

-In the movie it was shown Savitri addressed S.V. Rangarao as "babai" (uncle) but in reality she addressed him as bava.

-In the movie it was shown Gemini Ganesh and Savitri had a very good relationship but in reality after the initial years of their marriage they had a very turbulent relationship which led to her excessive drinking and depression. Gemini Ganesh is a well known womanizer. Other than Savitri and his first wife he is known to have affairs with two more women. Actress Rekha is a product of one of these relationships.

-Movie seems to completely ignore her close relationship with other cinema families. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.82.227.63 (talk) 22:38, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dubbed

@Kailash29792:@Ab207:Recently watched the Tamil version. The CBFC certificate states that the film is indeed dubbed.TamilMirchi (talk) 03:05, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TamilMirchi, then please revamp the article accordingly. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:20, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IPA

@Ab207 Do you think IPA would be useful? I think maɦaːnaʈi is the one. Not quite sure though H:IPA-TE. -- DaxServer (talk) 18:48, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DaxServer, yeah. I think that's correct. This version had IPA, though its removed by an IP w/o explanation. -- Ab207 (talk) 05:11, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ab207 The edit Special:Diff/892425352 has removed the IPA. Do we need cites for IPAs as well? -- DaxServer (talk) 17:22, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, you mentioned IP removed it w/o explanation. Didn't read the last part of the sentence 🙈 -- DaxServer (talk) 17:23, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DaxServer: Oh, okay. Citation is not needed because its a directly derived from the Telugu source text, ie, film's title. -- Ab207 (talk) 17:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: My third DYK nomination

Improved to Good Article status by Ab207 (talk). Self-nominated at 15:24, 9 June 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Became GA today (9 June). Long enough, with proper citations. No copyright violations seen. Hook 1 is mentioned inline with the reference in the article and is catchy, and I would prefer it over ALT 1. QPQ not required as it is the 3rd DYK of the author. No image. Seems good to go.
