I'll review this soon. Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:43, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

On it. Done. Sometimes I just don't get what's wrong with them. I tried fixing it, but is it really a must at GA to have them all right? Because I can't seem to know how.
Archive the green links. Yashthepunisher (talk) 04:59, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done. NumerounovedantTalk 12:24, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think this should be fine because the film was conceived as one and has music at its core. The genre page suggests: "in which songs sung by the characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by dancing". And in the film the three of the major events in the narrative are in musical sequences (Babbar and Koechlin's meeting, the Don and Dutta sequence, and the entire final act) with even the dialogue preceding and in succession being musical in nature.
I haven't seen the film but you have. So let it be then.
Although, i think that a movie stars an actor forever and yet had an actor plays a role only once, I think I can reconstruct the sentence if you'd like.
You can merge this with the second sentence and separate the plot synopsis.
It's in the body and I thought that it's not the most important detail.
Then remove the 'another project' bit. Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:07, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thinking. Done.
Isn't that standard?

Yashthepunisher (talk) 10:01, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. NumerounovedantTalk 12:00, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Second opinion

[edit]

Apart from minimal typos (which I have fixed), the players from Cast need sourcing because they usually are just grabbed from IMDb and for assurance that they really appeared in the film. In regards to the infobox, I would trim the actors from "Starring" parameter unless they really are top-billed from the poster (which I suspect they're not), change "Screenplay" to "Writer" unless this is based from another work, and "studio" to "production companies" for reasons obvious.

Done, let me know if the starring field looks better now. There's​ a Bollywood Hungama source for the cast at the end of the development section, I do not prefer a separate mention in the cast section unless someone really insists. A couple of actors missing from the list can be added in the same section to ensure reliability? Thanks for fixing the typos. Assassinate, in particular. xD NumerounovedantTalk 13:00, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't ask you to create a separate "Casting" section, but to simply add inline citations on each and every actors in Cast for the sake of verification. OTOH, your infobox revision in "Starring" seems unorthodox; I would prefer you just leave the two main actors—Prateik Babbar and Kalki Koechlin—on this parameter and leave the rest in Cast. Slightlymad 13:10, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
When I wrote "I do not prefer a separate mention in the cast section", I meant that there wasn't a need for a source that was already present in the following section to substantiate the same information. But, I've added it anyway. Also, the "See full cast" bit is a common practice, but as long as no one has a problem with Koechlin being in the starring field and the others who had the same if not more screen time I'm fine with either versions. NumerounovedantTalk 13:32, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clarifying, as I confess being confused with your question. Think that's all for me. Slightlymad 13:41, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the help Slightlymad, I appreciate it. NumerounovedantTalk 13:49, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

It was "the" until recently.
Removed. It was the leftover of a previous sentence.
That would have been fun though. xD
Removed as it made little sense.

Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:53, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. NumerounovedantTalk 14:11, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Development

Yes, linked it to proper sub-section.
There's just one that I found on Yahoo News, but even that was originally from Glamsham, so not too sure.
I have added one from BH.
Is MusicAloud a RS?
I don't think so, one review will suffice then. Yashthepunisher (talk) 16:01, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yashthepunisher (talk) 14:44, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. NumerounovedantTalk 15:15, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Release

Yashthepunisher (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. NumerounovedantTalk 17:23, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Source review

Shouldn't it be just fine, it is just a direct quote?

That's it from me. Yashthepunisher (talk) 05:12, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed everything. NumerounovedantTalk 12:24, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have performed some minor edits, the rest looks fine. Great work! Yashthepunisher (talk) 10:39, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
