 * Quite. Why not a glamorous one of him in his heyday, which is how he is best remembered?  ~ P-123 (talk) 23:23, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

His picture which I put should be placed as it is a bit well defined as well as recent than this one. Regards, PrinceAnand2003 (talk) 10:58, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Shashi Kapoor Filmography
Shashi Kapoor has acted in 170 films all together.He is a highly respected actor. So there is definitely the need for separate filmography page.In the biography only the link to the filmography page needs to be given in the section ACTOR.This would help in putting quality information regading Shashi Kapoor in his biography and would reduce the length as well save space in wiki artcile about him. So let there be a seperate page for Fimography of Shashi Kapoor.Paglakahinka (talk) 14:28, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Errors in the present article
Hi,

I have noticed too many errors in the wiki artcile on Shahsi - either the sentence is incomplete or wrong information is being spread. Please edit them yourself. Laying down them below


 * http://www.hindustantimes.com/photos-news/Photos-Entertainment/shatteredbigbidgetdreams/Article4-449576.aspx and http://m.indianexpress.com/picture-gallery/2326/18 - were the references given to show that his production venture was major failure. This needs to be mentioned as Shashi Kapoor did not produce a film after its failure.

Reason for this line appearing was to say how he was struggled to make a name for himself from 1961 to 1965. Till these 2 hindi films happened Shahsi Kapoor did not attain fame or audience did not know him till these 2 films happened
 * he started doing English films due to his failure as solo lead hero in Hindi between 1960 – 1965 before Mohabbat Isko Kahete Hain and Jab Jab Phool Khile in 1965 became hits.


 * http://m.indianexpress.com/picture-gallery/2326/12 - was provided to show Shaan (1980), Silsila, Do Aur Do Paanch (1980) and Akayla were flops at the box office. He did 11 films with Amitabh but not all were successful.

Between 1974 and 1977, Kapoor's solo lead films were less commercially successful, which led to him accepting multi star cast films in the period 1976–85. If the words - solo lead hero films from 1974 to 1977 were not successful are removed - does the sentence makes sense? Cuurrently it says Between 1974 and 1977, Kapoor's solo lead films led to him accepting multi star cast films in the period 1976–85 - no one can arrive at any logical meaning by reading this.
 * http://www.10ka20.com/indian-actors/shashi-kapoor-profile.html Indian Actors: Shashi Kapoor  - was  given to show


 * //indiatoday.intoday.in/gallery/leading-ladies-of-shashi-kapoor/4/8272.html - says directly - Bandhan Kuchchey Dhaagon Ka (1983), Bandh Honth (1984) and Doosara Aadmi (1977) flopped at the BO.


 * Another incomplete senetnce in wikipedia artcile - Films where Kapoor acted opposite actresses such as Hema Malini, Parveen Babi, and Moushumi Chatterjee. -- there is no sense to this line.What needs to be mentioned is that these films where he acted with Hema, Parveen and Moushmi were also well known.


 * Another mistake i noticed - http://cineplot.com/shashi-kapoor-memories/ - it says clearly Abhinetri was not successful and also mentions Prem Patra was unsuccessful. Note this is interview of Shahsi Kpaoor directly.


 * Char Diwari (1961) and Mehndi Lagi Mere Haath (1962) did not work - http://indiatoday.intoday.in/gallery/leading-ladies-of-shashi-kapoor/4/8272.html#photo1 this ref says so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikepegan (talk • contribs) 15:05, 29 August 2013 (UTC)


 * If you see errors in a Wikipedia article, feel free to be bold and fix them yourself, as you appear to be asking others to do so here. However, keep in mind that one of the fundamental principles by which Wikipedia operates is that it is written from a neutral point of view and that peacock terms should be avoided. --Geniac (talk) 02:37, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Had removed the errors myself and incorporated certain lines - but they were removed only by you saying unsourced and personal opinion. I had given logical meaning to incomplete sentences and also provided references.Mikepegan (talk) 06:51, 30 August 2013 (UTC)okay. what i have done now is I have rectified the 11 errors i showed you in talk page of shashi kapoor. But instead of terms hits/flops/ i used the word worked well/ did not work. Hope this would suffice.Mikepegan (talk) 07:44, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Sorry Genaic - you asked me to be bold and to fix up the above errors. I did it. But end result is - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shashi_Kapoor&diff=570778561&oldid=570777582. Convince this boadea. Mikepegan (talk) 07:54, 30 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I've done some language fixes to try to rectify the problems with sentence fragments. Terms such as "disaster" and "mega-failure" are, as pointed out on your talk page, not appropriate in a Wikipedia article. Please note that information must be sourced, and even if, e.g., a writer in a newspaper refers to a film as a "disaster" it does not mean that it is, in any objective sense, a disaster - it is an opinion, and Wikipedia cannot present such an opinion as a fact. And that every single film in the running text is not classified as successful or unsuccessful is not an error. Adding all those details makes the text hard to read and unencyclopedic; this also applies to adding overly detailed statistics about an actor's different films ("x films as solo lead, y films as multi-starrer lead, z films as a minor character, n films as the older version of another hero's character...."). Please see WP:NOT - Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and in particular not unsourced information. --bonadea contributions talk 13:36, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Combining 'Honours and recognitions' and 'Legacy'
I think these two sections can be combined. (For example, we could list that Shashi Kapoor was honored at the 90th Academy Awards in the "Honours and Recognitions" section.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemon-slice-nebula (talk • contribs) 18:19, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
