Will review later.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:23, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Soham 11:32, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Dr. Blofeld If you are ready we can proceed now. Soham 08:25, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Plot
  • "where its predecessor ended" - link the film here.

 Done.

  • Is it Jaaved or Javed?

Not specified in the film, nor does any source exists for the naming. Soham 11:49, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I say this because you spell it Jaaved in the cast section. Pick one spelling for both..♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:56, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's OK, as long as the spelling is consistent and the most common.

Filming
  • Please don't start this with quote boxes, much less two of them. Find a way to disperse them into side boxes like on the Clint Eastwood article as it affects flow. In looking at them I think you'd be best writing them in your own words into the prose or at least only quoting part of them.
 Done
  • "The remainder of the film was shot on location in Khala, on the Sassoon Docks and at Mukesh Mills in the Mumbai area to give the film a retro look." - Not sure why this gave the film a retro look..
 Done. Removed.
Effects
  • "Scenes in the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium in the United Arab Emirates" -you should probably mention in the filming section that UAE was also a location.
That was created digially.
OK♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:51, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Casting
  • "for Luthria as well who shot her first song Sambhala hai Maine in the 1994 film Naaraaz." What do you mean, Luthria didn't accept fees too?
 Done, ha ha, Luthria charged a lump-sum, Bendre did it for luthria. Change wording.
  • What is Eid? I think you should put time of year in brackets at least.
Soundtrack
  • Delink Eid
 Done.
  • Can you find a way to avoid that big gap and move the track listing into it?
I beg your pardon, please explain. I collapsed the track list. Soham 16:30, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's better.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:48, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rajiv Vijayakar reviewed each song for Bollywood Hungama:onwards to the end of the section is far too excessive and poorly organized/worded and the bullet points are unattractive. Can you rid of the bullet points and perhaps pick the most important reviews and condense into a decent concise paragraph or two. I'd probably nuke the entirety of it or at best only use a couple of further quotes nicely written into the prose.
If I was you I'd create a soundtrack article and nuke the bulleted section and review in the main.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:48, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking of it too, but thats of laters, I summarised the review section in one befitting para.  Done Soham 17:23, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Reception
  • "deewana dons and their dilrubas." what on earth are these?
 Done. Changed wording. Soham 16:42, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you should neatly reorganize the quotes, the worst first and then the better reviews rather than 1.5 out of 5 and then a 3.5 out of 5 etc. One paragraph for more negative and one for more positive as a counter argument I'd think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:09, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Lead

This needs to be expanded a little to summarize whole article. Mention film locations etc...

Looks good for GA, but before I pass you need to significantly cleanup the organization and structure of the reviews in both the soundtrack and reception sections. Try to make it less convoluted and flow better. Soundtrack section especially needs to become visually more attractive....♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:10, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
