Talk:Big B (film)

Discussion Forum - Big B
This is a forum for discussing the content for the Big B page. As of now, the content is minimal. Please enlarge the Music section and add a Reception section which describes how well the film was received. Please don't use this page for posting your comments on the film and such trivial stuff.

Reference to Four Brothers - Fan vandalism
The fact that Big B has freely plagiarised the storyline and almost all scenes from Four Brothers, a 2005 Hollywood movie, is confirmed. A reference to that was added a number of times to the page, but it was taken out each time. Whoever is behind this should be aware that factual accuracy must prevail over petty fan jingoism. You are vandalizing the page by doing so and this page may be locked to further edits if this continues.

Fair use rationale for Image:Posterbigb.jpg
Image:Posterbigb.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

DO NOT add these sources
A sequel to the film was announced yesterday (on Nov 17), but some news websites that reported it has created more damage than good. Due to WP:CIRCULAR, do not add these sources as reference for the film's reception - HT, India Today, IBTimes, TNM, NDTV, TOI, TimesNow, TNIE, [http://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/south-masala/mammootty-returns-with-big-b-sequel-named-bilal-dulquer-salmaan-reveals-first-look/articleshow/61691357.cms? BM] etc. These sources has copied/referred content from Wikipedia itself, from this version of the article which was unsourced and heavily damaged with fan puffery, such as:

The film is considered as one of the Cult Classics in Malayalam cinema. The film when released wasn't well noticed. Its theme and style of making was new to the malayali audience at that time, though it became one of the hits in 2007. But when the film's DVD was released, it received numerous appreciation from the audience. Mammooty received great appreciation for his performance as Bilal John Kurishinkal and there were a lot of followers for this character and

It became one of the hit films of 2007.it ran over more than 100 DAYS

Added by 2 IP editors - 137.97.8.47 and 137.97.11.163 in the first place and was later modified by others. These claims were shamelessly copied by some news outlets, which has now created an information loop. Due to circular reporting, other sources could re-report this from these sources or these sources can re-report it again on the occasion of any followup announcements of the sequel film. So from now on, any references added to this article should be carefully scrutinized. I already reverted an IP edit that added the HT ref which had a direct copy paste of the content.--Let There Be Sunshine (talk) 10:17, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
