Crew
Why should this article have such an elaborate 'Crew' section? Usually film articles don't have a 'crew' section at all (captured in Infobox itself), and never have such a big 'crew' section. Removing or trimming the 'crew' section suggested. Anish Viswa  03:35, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

One User is continuously adding an elaborate crew section to the article and is not ready to adhere to the wiki guidelines. Request senior Wikipedians to provide valuable advice and decision on this regard. Anish Viswa  08:06, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

This article reads more like a commercial for the film.please edit as necessary.

Caution
User:Rainbowsav was informed on his talk page that his continually re-adding a bulleted crew section was inappropriate, and he was advised of alternatives that would meet the instuctions of Manual of Style/Film. After that message was posted, he added the crew section yet again. I have reverted his edit and strongly encourage that he discuss the matter before adding it a fourth time.

 * There are so many films in wikipedia with a crew section. Kindly search for those films. Some examples are the film Kaminey, Omkara,etc. The crew section is still there in thousands of film pages. The cast of the film is repeated after the info box. Then why not the crew. Kindly take all these things as a part of giving informations. The purpose is to give informations on the crew. If you are against a bulleted crew section, i will include that in the production section. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rainbowsav (talk • contribs) 05:50, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. No bulleted crew list.
 * I am quite happy to applaud your work on improving Cinema of India articles. And while yes... cast is included in infobox and article body, the infobox contains only the film's major players, and the body then also includes the major supporting players in a listing and/or in article prose, but not the various and sundry minor background actors.  You'll note that Manual of Style/Film states how and where to deal with the most important artists (cast and crew). The film manual of style has been developed over many years, and you are always welcome to dicuss changes to it on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Film.
 * In looking at your examples, I see Kaminey does not have mention of lessor crew positions and Omkara (film) mentions in prose some lessor crew who worked on the film. And to give information on lessor crew, one does not simply write "John Smith was production designer", as that is something a reader might find in any database. Better to source and state something like, "Award-winning production designer John Smith was brought into the project based upon his work on Film XYZ. Director Jones wanted that same expertise".  THAT kind of contextual prose informs readers in a manner that is not simply a trivial listing.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 18:02, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Reception
There seems to an edit war in the reception section of this article with people try to push reports which are favourable to them. Maybe, we should try to keep only the factual details there with valid references and remove all the reports from sources which are not considered reliable or valid by Wikipedia.
