Talk:Krrish

Krrish is written with two "rr", because Rakesh Roshan was told by a numerologist to change it, because it would bring better luck. The article is somewhere on indiafm.com, I think. You just have to search for it. It hasn't got anything to do with domain rights. --Plumcouch 13:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure there have been more than seven Indian super-heroes. See Spider-Man: India and Virgin Comics for examples. Daibhid C 22:36, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Should the title of this article be changed to Krrish(film), so as to identify it more appropriately? - unni 05:23, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

-- Don't know. Are there more "Krrish"'s written with two rrs? --Plumcouch 00:48, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Indian Superman
The whole section on the Indian Superman, in my view, should be deleted as it has nothing to do with the film Krrish. It should have its own article or just be erased from this article altogether.

Furthermore, for all the "inspirations," there should be citations, especially for the comment for the song "Main hoon woh asmaan." --RNJBOND 17:34, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

STOP SPOILING THE PLOT
PERIOD.

Why? There's a spoiler warning attached. --Plumcouch 21:42, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Krrish 2?
Is there any official word that there will be a Krrish 2? The place it is mentioned in the article doesn't cite any source. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.244.234.39 (talk) 00:00, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

Inspired from Paycheck
The story is completely inspired from paycheck. Doesn't the page need a mention about that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.234.208 (talk) 23:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Movie Inspirations for Krrish
This movie is clearly inspired by a multitude of Hollywood films (like every major Bollywood film). They are in the introductory paragraph to help clarify the context of the movie. It seems that some contributors are in denial of these influences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpgiddyup (talk • contribs) 06:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * "Clearly" is your POV. We need sources to support all the titles you mentioned. This info is controversial. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  06:23, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

POV? You're joking, right? This information is not controversial. Anyone who has seen the movies I have mentioned can see that Krrish contains influences from this films. Unless you're naive enough to believe that Krrish is completely original, get over it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpgiddyup (talk • contribs) 06:30, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't care if it is original or not, and making conclusions is in violation of WP:OR. That's why sources must be added. And the one you added (akhilesh.com) is an unreliable blog. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  06:44, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Comments on the recent GA review by User:Vinay84
I'm very surprised to see the quality of the article for it to be listed as a GA. I completely agree with Blofeld in his comments in the above review. My main concerns with it being listed as a GA are the following. As per the good article criteria
 * 1 (a) the prose is clear and the spelling and grammar are correct
 * I cannot agree that this article has passed this important criteria. This clearly needs a thorough copyedit from a suitable user.
 * 2 (b) it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations
 * Hrithikrules.com is a fans forum and that is definitely not a reliable source. It has been used to cite at several locations in the article. I can't seem to think that World of Time Pass or Indicine are reliable sources as well. Due to this, portions of the article might not quality under WP:V.
 * 6 (a) images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content
 * There are 4 non-free images being used for no justifiable reason at all. Please remove one image each for the soundtrack and visual effects. You don't need 2 images to illustrate the VFX.

Overall with the prose, the article is not quite to the standard of a GA. I'll watch this article for a week, until after which I'll refer to this page. I hope that I don't have to. Hope the above helps. Cheers, Mspraveen (talk) 11:10, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Himalayan Explorer asked me to comment on whether Krrish is of GA standard. I do not have time to check in detail, but think some of the concerns raised by Mspraveen are grounds for a reassessment:
 * Much of the prose is verbose, unclear and sometimes ungrammatical. I agree that a thorough copyedit is in order, although I've heard that WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors is under-sourced and overloaded, so you may need to trade favours with a good copyeditor.
 * I did not have to look at Indicine, but the poor web design at Hrithikrules.com (especially that annoying message box) and World of Time Pass (garish colours, whole paragraphs linked) make these sites look like the low-rent end of WP:SPS (some SPS are very good, but not these).
 * If you go for a reassessment, you should also check that the remaining refs support what the article claims they support. I've found that articles that use low-quality sources quite often use sources inaccurately.
 * I have no complaint about the images used, and in fact would be disappointed if any were removed. However, they all need Fair Use Rationales. In addition I'd place the 2 VFX pics in a table, one under the other. This would make the contrast between the unenhanced and CGI-enhanced pics more effective, and support the FURs by make it clear that the pair of pics in combination illustrates the use of VFX.
 * The changes to the images are barely 5 minutes. However, I suggest the concerns about prose and sourcing wil take several days. I hope this helps. --Philcha (talk) 16:46, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

I came across Peer review/Krrish/archive1 and left some comments there. Only after that did I find this discussion, so I'm posting the link here. Most of my concerns were around the quality of references used and have addressed most of them individually. Unless these issues are fixed, I would say that the article has to be brought to WP:GAR. It also needs to go through a fresh GA assessment. - Spaceman  Spiff  04:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments from peer review

Disappointed
I saw the article became a GA and it made me very happy, but while going through it now I got very disappointed, because if I was the reviewer I wouldn't have passed it. The article is not comprehensive and needs cleanup and formatting. I'll explain later. Shahid •  Talk 2 me  16:14, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Suggestions
Due to the increased work being directed towards this article, I thought of posting some suggestions which could be worked upon before GAC, as I delisted the article previously.


 * Summarize the soundtrack, awards and critical reception in the lead section.
 * "It was considered the first major superhero film to be produced in Bollywood since Shekhar Kapur's Mr. India of 1987." - Unsourced
 * "Krrish briefly became the highest grossing Indian film ever upon its release." - Not really (HAHK, Gadar and DDLJ)
 * This is always the biggest issue with Indian films. Lots of conflicting sources, very painful to sort out. And I never know to use gross or nett gross. What is the difference anyway? They don't use that in American Box Office. BollyJeff  ||  talk  20:37, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there a single source to support the highest grossing claim? Secret of success  ( talk )  14:31, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thought there was, but cannot find now, so removed text. BollyJeff  ||  talk  02:13, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * "Hrithik promised "even more special effects than Koi... Mil Gaya."" - Not necessary as a similar and more detailed one from his dad resides two paras below this
 * "first film in the Indian our industry" - ?
 * Format references to follow WP:CITEHOW.
 * "30 tons" - Use some conversion template.
 * "Although Krrish was released at about the same time as Superman Returns in India, it managed to beat the Hollywood film that had a much bigger budget at the box office." - I don't understand the purpose of this.
 * "The new film will be released during Diwali 2013. Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra will reprise their roles, and the main antagonist will be played by Vivek Oberoi." - Unsourced

I am going to fix these issues and those mentioned in the GAR above, expand it some, and take it back to GA. BollyJeff  ||  talk  19:35, 31 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The soundtrack section needs to be a part of the Production section. The prose also needs some work. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 09:45, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * According to Manual of Style/Film you can have a separate section if you want. Most articles that I see putting with production, it is just a single paragraph pointing to a separate article. I think the list of songs is not attractive inside the production section. BollyJeff  ||  talk  12:05, 5 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Its always better to actually have a separate soundtrack article. Most of the better articles feature separate soundtrack articles because putting a table in the main article like that gives a cluttered feel. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 09:59, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Only the most notable soundtracks have separate articles. Otherwise, its a sign of giving undue weight to the subject. Secret of success  10:37, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed, but I did touch up the prose. BollyJeff  ||  talk  20:28, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Poster change
I have reverted the poster change because I found no evidence that the new poster, File:Krrish poster.jpg, was the "widely used poster for theatrical release." The current poster has been in the article for eights years without complaint, including when the article became a good article in 2009 and again in 2012 after it was delisted. It seems to be the more frequent image found in Google images and is also listed in the same source as the new poster. If a consensus can be found that the new image should be used instead, then the current one can be deleted. As such, I have reverted back to the original poster until a consensus is formed or the image is taken to WP:FFD. Aspects (talk) 00:33, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * So apparently, being a foreigner knows better about Indian films and I, being an Indian don't know which poster was widely used in cinemas? Wow! You are a genius my friend. Just because this is the "the more frequent image found in Google images"? Really? The captain in the infobox reads "Theatrical release poster" and not "the more frequent image found in Google images". A kid, who saw this movie 5 to 6 times in cinemas in three different cities, I know better than you. Plus this poster is featured heavily all over, even on the DVDs. Krish  |  Talk  14:30, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You are the one claiming that this is the "widely used poster", so you are the one who needs to produce the evidence to gain a consensus for the change. An image used on some of the DVDs does nothing to prove it was the "widely used poster." Your other evidence, what you saw, is WP:Original research and is therefore not evidence. Since there is no consensus for the change, I am going to revert to the previous poster. Aspects (talk) 20:57, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * , it would have been better if you overwrote the existing poster by clicking "upload a new version", rather than upload a separate file. As for which poster is my preference, I'd say any poster which shows Krishna Mehra in his superhero outfit, and is supported by a RS. -- Kailash29792   (talk)  13:01, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * That is why I had uploaded this poster as it shows Krishna in his superhero avatar as well as the hs real self, with his love interest. It is obviously a love story turned superhero film and this poster was highly publicised. And, I think you are right I should have overwrote. Krish &#124;  Talk  13:51, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Comment: I believe that a film's poster used in the infobox should be a theatrical poster ideally (as per Template:Infobox film) and should reflect the film's theme properly. I feel that the new upload is fine, though uploading it as a new version would have made more sense.  Pavanjandhyala (talk)  14:38, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * As per this discussion, its clear that everyone agreed with me. So this poster should be in the article. Thanks everyone. Krish &#124;  Talk  05:25, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
