Talk:Tubelight (2017 Hindi film)

Genre addition
Tubelight would not be counted as historical film as it is set in fictional account of 1962 Indo-China War. I had retain the period genre. Any doubt then ping here. SuperHero ● 👊 ● ★ 12:53, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, re: this, "historical period drama" doesn't require that the subject matter or people be real, as the Historical period drama article says, just that it takes place during a historical period. But if the "historical" aspect is bothering you, why not just remove the wikilink? It's also fine to remove the "period" aspect and just call it a war drama (provided that's what sources are calling it), since the next sentence explains that it's set during the 1962 war. We're not required to over-describe films in that first sentence. MOS:FILM wants us to use major genre and then primary sub-genre if necessary. I think "war drama" covers both. Also, I've never heard uchronic used as a film genre. We should stick with what most mainstream sources call it. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:04, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * According to you the character of Salman played "Laxman" did existed in Sino-India War? If is that very real according to you then according to my syllabus i didn't really knew that Laxman Bisht existed? I have also read the Little Boy (film) which is actually got remade as Tubelight was too set in WW2 as a boy who finds his dad during the US-Japan war. Historical films are those where actually the events existed nor backdrops. SuperHero ● 👊 ● ★ 14:56, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Per your note on my talk page, I didn't declare the film anything, I just removed the obscure non-genre "uchronic" and replaced what had been there. As noted in my response to you on my talk page, a historical period film does not have to be rooted in fact to be considered part of that genre. A "period film" is merely a film set in a certain timeframe, ex: the late-1700s. A "historical period film" is one set during a specific historical event, like, say, the 1962 war. Yes, often these films involve real historical people and perhaps even specific historical events and actions, but I don't think anyone considers Titanic as anything other than entertainment. Our readers are presumably bright enough to know that something is fictional without being force-fed the information, or wrapping it in hyper-specific and abstruse language like "uchronic". But to move this forward, does "war drama" fit the bill? I removed the other stuff in this edit, since it appears to be a point of irritation to you. Really, per MOS:FILM, we should be looking to what the majority of reliable sources call the film, with a preference for generality, not obsessing about hyperspecificity. You could chip it down to just "drama" and I wouldn't care. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:14, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Update the summary

In pre-independence India, Laxman Singh Bisht (Salman Khan) is a special child who is bullied at school and called "Tubelight". His younger brother Bharat (Sohail Khan) defends him from bullies like Narayan (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) and beats them. After independence, Laxman and Bharat's parents pass away and as they grow up their bond gets stronger. In 1962, due to the increasing tension between India and China, the Indian army starts recruitment of soldiers for the Kumaon Regiment. Bharat gets selected as a soldier but Laxman gets rejected. . Narayan is rejected because of knock knees. To keep Laxman happy, Bharat pleads Major Rajbir Tokas (Yashpal Sharma) to offer him a job as an informer/messenger for army.

A magician known as Gogo Pasha (Shah Rukh Khan) visits the village and selects Laxman for one of his acts to move a bottle using faith. After some attempts Laxman succeeds even as Narayan tries to tease him. Laxman demonstrtes the same thing to Banne Chacha (Om Puri) who them explains him the power of faith and how to make his faith stronger. Next day, Laxman observes an Indo-Chinese women, "Le Leing" (Zhu Zhu) and her son "Gu Won" (Matin Rey Tangu) arriving to a house outside the village. He informs the village of the arrival of the Chinese who then, led by Narayan, try to attack them. Banne Chacha gets angry about this and advises Laxman to follow Gandhi ji and befriend them. Meanwhile, Bharat gets injured and is set to return but he and some other soldiers gets captured by the Chinese forces. Laxman, who is now friends with Gu, saves him from Narayan, who tries to attack him because of his Chinese heritage. Narayan tries to convince Laxman not to befriend these Chinese people or he will lose Bharat forever. Leing intervenes and explains to Narayan that she and Gu are Indians.

As the war continues, the martyrs are brought back. Major Tokas tells Laxman that Bharat's name is not in the list. After the war stops, the whole village celebrates expecting the return of Bharat. Leing's father, who was in jail is set free and returns to the village. After a few days, Major Tokas informs that Bharat was killed in a crossfire. Laxman is shattered and the village erects a shrine to honor all the martyrs. Next day, as Leing and Gu bid farewell to return to Calcutta, they receive the news that Bharat is still alive and there was some confusion in the identification process. Banne, Gu and Leing accompany Laxman to the army medical camp where the two brothers reunite. Harsh Sharma 19:15, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
