 * Guru Sishyan actually translates to "Master and Disciple". But if any source actually says "Teacher and Student" then i am fine with it.
 * ✅ went with "Master and Disciple". Because the actual Tamil word for teacher is Vaathiyar. -- Kailash29792 (talk)  15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Too many names in the lead about supporting roles. Almost makes it good to call an ensemble cast.
 * Removed two names as they were barely cameos. Now better? -- Kailash29792 (talk)  15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Is Geetha a police inspector?
 * Yes, written. -- Kailash29792 (talk)  15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)


 * "Raja realises he is Kandhasamy's first son who went missing years ago" – How?
 * During a school picnic. Watch around 1:43:38 and tell me if I missed something. -- Kailash29792 (talk)  15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)


 * main hero, other hero... No. Two leads, and that's how it should be.
 * See now. Kailash29792 (talk)  15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)


 * "This was the first film in which the two actors, who were leading stars of Tamil cinema, were seen together onscreen" – The leading stars claim is a bit unencyclopaedic. Can't we simply say that it was their first onscreen appearance together?
 * See now. Kailash29792 (talk)  15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Some refs with Tamil sources need translated titles. For example, ref no. 49.

Concluding here. I really think two different people worked in this article. Like two disoriented halves of a film, each having their own narrative. Still, minor reworks could do. Let me know once the comments are addressed. Regards, Veera Narayana 09:14, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * If you have issues with the plot, either watch the Telugu-dubbed version or the English subtitled version. -- <b style="color: black;">Kailash29792</b> (talk)  15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * No, don't ask the reviewers to do that. Remember Fowler? It gives bad impression about your writing skills. <b style="color: brown">Veera Narayana</b> 04:33, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Its a pass. Congratulations. Having said that, the article would be benefited with some copy-editing in the future for a more tight prose. Still, good enough for a GA. <b style="color: brown">Veera Narayana</b> 04:33, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
