Plot is too detailed and reveals even the climax
I strongly believe that Plot section is far too detailed. Also it should be edited to make sure climax is not revealed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vikalp74 (talk • contribs) 08:38, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

The movie has crossed it's 100 days also and revealing the climax is not wrong. If the movie is released just a few days ago then the plot shouln't be added. Raghusri (talk) 15:49, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Removal of Tamil name
User:Murrallli, please explain your position. Here is the previous discussion of this topic.Talk:Naan Ee. Also kindly explain why you remove any reference directed to South Indian cinema. Thanks!--  Dravidian   Hero  19:28, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Two films, two different posters
NFCC doesn't apply here as this article covers two separate films, which have been merged to avoid duplicate content in separate film articles. So 1 film = 1 poster = minimal usage.--  Dravidian   Hero  10:32, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Your opinion is right Mr. Dravidian :), but the two posters containing image file was deleted by admin. See here : . Regards, Raghusri (talk) 07:49, 29 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I've reverted the image again based on expert consensus: Raghusri, me and Murrallli--  Dravidian   Hero  13:48, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

then why dont u both split the two articles eega and naani???? why on earth u merge the articles and fight for image??? Murrallli (talk) 14:08, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Merging was decided at Talk:Naan Ee.--  Dravidian   Hero  14:22, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Today's featured article/requests/Eega --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:02, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

As of?
I've added an tag to ... "Its Hindi-dubbed version, Makkhi, which was released on 12 October 2012, was not as commercially successful as the others."

... because as comparative 'commercial success' is subject to change* some clarification seems warranted (MOS:EPHEMERAL). Perhaps the passage might be better phrased something like ... "Additionally, a Hindi-dubbed version titled Makkhi was released on 12 October 2012; according to [ _____ ] as of [ _____ ]  it had not performed as well commercially as the others."

... or ... "Additionally a Hindi-dubbed version titled Makkhi was released on 12 October 2012; as of [ _____ ]  it had not performed as well commercially as the others. [reference link]"

If details to fill-in-the-blanks aren't presently readily available perhaps the existence of the Hindi-dub should simply be noted on its own, perhaps a so ... "Additionally a Hindi-dubbed version titled Makkhi was released on 12 October 2012."

* [Personally, I came across Makkhi subtitled in English on US Netflix (which presently opens it up to a fairly large Anglosphere audience) while browsing the Netflix cult films category. I loved it and searched for info about it soon after watching.]

 * I'm surprised you have a problem with things other experienced editors didn't before this article passed FAC. Kailash29792   (talk)  02:15, 16 October 2017 (UTC)


 * , your statement doesn't seem to me in any way directly responsive to the concerns raised in the content presented before it and might even be taken to imply that you've somehow conflated FAC status into some sort of declaration of finished perfection beyond the reach of further improvements. Did I perhaps miss some obscure clause where WP:OWNership gets selectively handed out by infallible omniscient reviewers along with WP:FA recognition? Perhaps in the future you might be so kind as to address the merits of arguments as presented. And maybe avoid making "crap" edit summaries in the future as well, eh?
 * : }  --75.188.199.98 (talk) 03:22, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Makkhi was a failure, and Rajamouli has explained why. Now how do you want us to rewrite the lead to avoid having the as of tag? Kailash29792   (talk)  04:57, 16 October 2017 (UTC)


 * , thanks for offering a relevant link. You've stated without qualification, "Makkhi was a failure", yet the very article you linked afterwards refers to, "Makkhi ’s average run in theatres" (bold added for emphasis), and goes on to note that, "it had a great run on satellite TV". Please, let's try to avoid hyperbole going forward as we're aspiring to produce encyclopedic text.
 * Perhaps something like ...


 * ... Though perhaps argument might be made for 'undue weight' in the lead (which seems already fairly long). Maybe some of the commercial performance details (and perhaps some other details of the lead as well) might be better moved to the #Release section in the body of the article?
 * Regardless, I'll go ahead and place text and ref as above in the lead for now as a means of removing the tag and then we can consider the possibility of making the lead as a whole more concise by moving some details into the body of the article in a cohesive manner. --75.188.199.98 (talk) 23:40, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Budget of the film
While there is consensus to include a range for the film's budget, the actual range is kind of dicey. Rajamouli mentioned in various occasions a budget of ₹30 cr and ₹30–35 cr. And independent estimates have the budget at ₹40 cr.

Actor Nani mentioned ₹25 cr as the budget. But Nani is not the primary lead of the film, is not involved in the production of the film and was only an upcoming actor at the time to have a greater say in the production. So what he heard might not be accurate or the budget might have increased afterwards as the film was extensively reshot.

On the other hand, Rajamouli is the director and is also involved in the production through Vaarahi in which he is a partner. In view of all this, I think the budget range can be changed to ₹30–40 crore to accommodate both official figures from the director and independent estimates while not considering Nani's estimate which might not be the final figure or accurate. Let me know your thoughts. Reo kwon (talk) 09:20, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Go ahead and include the budget range. Kailash29792 (talk)  10:05, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Range may be changed but retain Nani's quote in the efn as is. -- Ab207 (talk) 18:18, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Changed the budget range to ₹30–40 crore (US$6–7 million) and retained Nani's quote in the Explanatory Footnote as it is. Thank you. Reo kwon (talk) 10:39, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
