I am nominating this for featured list because Bajirao Mastani is the most awarded Bollywood film of 2015, winning for its direction, acting, and technical achievements. I think it meets the FL criteria.Krish | Talk 07:05, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Yashthepunisher
  • "A co-production between Bhansali and Eros International, Bajirao Mastani stars.." Replace Bajirao Mastani with "it" or "the film".
  • There is only review to support the "positive reviews from critics" claim.
Not fixed. Instead of those 2-3 reviews, you can use this instead. Yashthepunisher (talk) 16:15, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Bajirao Mastani garnered many awards and nominations in a variety of categories.." Again replace BM with a "it". Also, "many" is redundant here.
  • "..with particular praise for Bhansali's direction and music, cinematography, production design, costumes, and performances of Chopra and Singh." Production design includes "costumes", so you should remove it.
Well, both are different things. That's why they are presented in two separate categories.Krish | Talk 16:04, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was quoting this source. But, yeah the awards are given to different segment and not as a whole. Yashthepunisher (talk) 16:14, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have used the same sentence in several of my FLs. But if you want me to change it I will.Krish | Talk 16:30, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yashthepunisher I have reworded it. Take a look.Krish | Talk 17:02, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "At the 63rd National Film Awards, Bajirao Mastani received a leading seven awards,". Remove "leading", to maintain neutrality.
  • "The film" is used twice in the third para.
  • Link Filmfare in ref 9.
  • Ref 21 is Hotstar, not Star India.

That's it from me. Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:46, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Pavanjandhyala
  • Provide a correct alt text for the image of Chopra and Singh.
  • The sentence "A co-production between Bhansali and Eros International, it stars Ranveer Singh as Bajirao I, Deepika Padukone as Mastani, and Priyanka Chopra as Kashibai, with Tanvi Azmi, Aditya Pancholi, Vaibbhav Tatwawdi and Milind Soman playing supporting roles" is too long. It can be split into two easily. Also, mention Bhansali's production company there.
  • Why the screenplay, cinematography, and editing are discussed in the same sentence?
  • "The screenplay was written by Prakash R. Kapadia, with the cinematography provided by Sudeep Chatterjee while Rajesh G. Pandey edited the film". Please find a better way to reword the second half of the sentence.
  • A comma is required between "art direction" and "and".
  • Agreed the film has received the highest number of nominations at the 61st Filmfare Awards and won nine. But, from an encyclopaedic point of view, most and leading mayn't be neutral.
  • "It received thirteen nominations at the 2015 Producers Guild Film Awards, collecting..."—"...Awards, and earned..." sounds better.
  • Break that sentence about Producer Guild Awards after Azmi's nomination. It is too long.
  • "Bajirao Mastani received thirteen nominations at the 22nd Screen Awards, winning seven.."—and won seven.

Comments by Cowlibob

Overall looks pretty good.

  • "It was produced by Bhansali and Eros International". Awkward as it mentions the name of one of the producers and then a different production company. It would be easier to say that it was a co-production between Bhansali's SLB Films and Eros International.
  • "The film stars..." This sentence can be split into two. "The film stars Ranveer Singh as Bajirao I, Deepika Padukone as Mastani, and Priyanka Chopra as Kashibai. Tanvi Azmi, Aditya Pancholi, Vaibbhav Tatwawdi, and Milind Soman feature in supporting roles."
  • For its budget, I can't see a mention of it in the The Hindu source. Also a different reference is needed for its critical acclaim as the source given is the opinion of one of the reps from one of its production companies.
  • "Bajirao Mastani has grossed over ₹3.5 billion (US$52 million)". This statement needs a "as of" as presumably the film is still in cinemas.
  • Bajirao won Best Production Design at Filmfare not Art Direction.
Best Production Design redirects to Best Art Direction (and they are same i guess).Krish | Talk 16:51, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • For the GIMA awards, Shail-Pritesh were nominated for their work on "Deewani Mastani". Nitin Shankar also won the award with them. Bhansali also won the Best Music Director award.

Source review
  • Ref 2 doesn't support the "Based on the Marathi novel Raau by Nagnath S. Inamdar" claim.
  • The rest of the lead looks good.
  • Filmfare Awards - no mention of Remo D'Souza or Ganesh Acharya for choreography in the source, and the list is missing Best Story win for Vijayendra Prasad
    • Bajirao Mastani was written by Prakash R. Kapadia not Vijayendra Prasad, who won for his film. Why I would add his name to a film he has nothing to do? Krish | Talk 12:45, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My bad, I misread something. NumerounovedantTalk 14:22, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The screen awards really needs a better source. I haven't gone through the video, but the other source supports the acting wins.
  • TOIFA- "Album of the Year" to "Best Album"
  • Zee Cine Awards- A lot of awards missing from the references including: Best Sound, and most of the "Critics Awards".

Rest looks fine. NumerounovedantTalk 16:40, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now! Good job! NumerounovedantTalk 14:22, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, Screen Awards didn't publish the nominations this year. However, they showed it doing the television specials and the main event televised on 31 January 2016. Hence I had cited that episode and that is fine to use as most of Indian FLs use these kinds of citations. It mainly because the coverage of awards in India is very poor. They don't have their own websites or any kind of links. I hope its clear.Krish | Talk 16:14, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, thanks for clarifying. NumerounovedantTalk 17:43, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
