If you don't mind, can you conduct a GA review on the article? Ssven2 (talk) 05:34, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Vensatry, good news: Chandralekha (1948 film) has passed its FAC, and has become the second Tamil film article after Gemini to achieve this feat. It could also be my first FA with a Bollywood article, as it also writes about the Hindi version (which was shot rather than dubbed). Kailash29792 (talk) 06:53, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Ssven2: Thanks for dropping in. But I must say that I generally don't do GA reviews on films. @Kailash29792: Congrats man. Hope to see many more films getting promoted to FA status in future! —Vensatry (ping) 11:45, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Kamalhassan Filmography
Hi, I found that you have removed the 'Abhay' movie credit and merged with Alavandhan, as both are same production. But, if you take similar scenario, Vishwaroopam, Mumbai express and lot of other actor/actress had their filmography with simultaneous language made films too. You are going to edit those too?. Vaidyasr (talk) 13:48, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Actually I agree with Vaidyasr because he provided me with a source that defines Abhay as a separate film from Aalavandhan. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:51, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not saying that it was dubbed from Tamil. It's a bi-lingual film shot simultaneously in two languages. In this case, I'm not sure whether we should add both as separate entries. So I leave it to you. —Vensatry (ping) 16:33, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. I will modify it to add 'Abhay' as a movie, as it counts as a credit for his film achievement, where as the dubbing is not. Vaidyasr (talk) 17:09, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
