 * Symbol possible vote.svg A full review will follow, but right now there are some issues with the nomination and the article. First, the article's content, in particular the "Activities" section, read like borderline-promotional material. Secondly, I've struck ALT1 as not really being interesting. ALT0 is borderline interesting and may not be appreciated by those unfamiliar with Indian media. Hooks with a broader appeal may need to be proposed here: for example, hooks about the theatre's link to the Quit India movement, or how some of their early performances were done on lorries, might be catchier.

 * Thank you for reviewing. I will suggest new hook soon and will solve out that border-line promotion issue too. Please go for full review. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 11:15, 28 June 2018 (UTC)


 * , The article is under review and corrections by another editor so it took long to proceed further. Meanwhile I am suggesting a new hook.-Nizil (talk) 05:31, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * ALT2: ... that the Indian National Theatre troupe traveled by two lorries and used them for a stage in their early years?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Okay, here's the rest of my review: it meets all the requirements of newness and length. Article is stable, adequately sourced, and free from close paraphrasing. QPQ provided. Nominator has provided an ALT2 which I personally prefer to ALT0. As I mentioned before, ALT0 is borderline interesting, but other editors may feel otherwise, so I'm deferring the final choice to the promoter. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:59, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
