Looks good to me. Nicely written article about a lost Indian film. QPQ done. Everything's fine here. Image might not be in PD outside India as its original date not known. Otherwise GTG!. Nice job guys. -  Vivvt  ( Talk ) 16:52, 5 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Vivvt. If Kamla's img is not acceptable then I would request user friends from India who have been writing articles on Indian Cinema to locate at least a picture of an old poster of the film (Old new papers could also be a source). An img added would do justice to the article. Thanks.-- Nvvchar . 17:12, 5 April 2013 (UTC)


 * We can have a guesstimate of the year when the picture was taken, the actress was 15 in 1913 and the picture seems to have been taken in her 30s-40s so the rough time period of the picture would be in between 1925-35 which should qualify the image as being in public domain. However if one can locate picture of old poster this line of argument would not be necessary. IMO an image would greatly enhance the hook. LegalEagle (talk) 11:31, 6 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I have added one more article on Anna Salunke to the above hook with an img of his acting in the female lead in same film


 * ALT1 ... that while the heroine of India's first full length film was a man (pictured), Mohini Bhasmasur was the first Indian film to feature actresses?


 * Sorry for the botheration for re-reviewing.-- Nvvchar . 01:48, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Reviewed second article Anna Salunke. Article is brand new, long enough and everything checks out. 2nd QPQ is also done. 2nd image is good for main page, no copyrights issues. ALT1 approved. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 05:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
