Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Sources?

I added some context that I think is pretty obvious from watching the film, so it's verifiable in that sense, but it would be better if some sources could be found supporting it. Any ideas for sources? Discussions of Hindi film and how they have been changing would be great. - Taxman ^Talk 15:06, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I just want to point out... the film itself can be a source... and I think in some senses it might be the best (not for analysis, for fact). Beyond that, Planet Bollywood has some useful information. gren グレン 16:28, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Um, I copyedited the additions, and removed the bit re Kajol's revealing outfits. Bollywood heroines were cavorting in revealing Western outfits long before DDLJ. I agree with the thesis re fresh elements and also don't know where to source it. Zora 20:06, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bit added at top -- keep it or not?

An anon added some material in the synopsis that wasn't about the plot. I moved it to the top and copyedited it. I'm still not sure that it's useful or needed, so would appreciate input from other editors. Zora 06:41, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Too much original research. If an important review or something can be found saying that then fine, but otherwise it's not too valuable. - Taxman ^Talk 12:55, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Revised synopsis again

Someone had turned the synopsis into one long breathless paragraph in sub-standard English. I edited for style again. Zora 07:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

isnt this a film over 3 hours long, how can one add it to such a category?

[edit] Picture, dinner party

Devilitself, there's no need to repeat the picture shown at the top later in the article, with a caption that is speculation at best. Also, I removed most of the detail from the material you added re the dinner party in Mumbai. That is just too ephemeral to deserve space in an encyclopedia. It also needs a reference.
