Kal Ho Naa Ho

 * Nominator(s): —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 15:06, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

This article is about Kal Ho Naa Ho, a 2003 Indian Hindi film starring Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta. The film is known for its story, screenplay, dialogues, performances and music. I've opened up the second FAC for this article to get it to FA (Last time I was unable to do so due to the demise of a close relation of mine). A special note of thanks to Bollyjeff for reviewing the GAN. Constructive comments to improve the article are most welcome. — Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 15:06, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Comments from Veera Narayana

 * Support — I have read the article for two days and have no notable complaints about anything around. I find this worthy enough to become a FA and support its promotion. Regards, Veera Narayana 10:04, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Comment use lakhs and crores for Rupees. No Indian knows what Rs. 280 million is. Non Indians have the dollar amount anyway.—indopug (talk) 12:54, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The MOS:COMMONALITY guideline states, "ten million is preferable to one crore". Bollyjeff  &#124;  talk  21:52, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Comments from Jim
Looks pretty comprehensive, although I'm no expert Jimfbleak - talk to me?  14:11, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Not a big deal, but I tend to agree that crores and lakhs seem more natural in an Indian-culture article
 * has commented about this (Per WP:COMMONALITY, we can use 1 crore as 10 million and also I've linked the INR sign at the beginning of its usage and I haven't linked it again and again to avoid WP:OVERLINK). —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 07:34, 10 July 2019 (UTC)


 * What's the order in the cast lists? Order in the credits? Order of appearance? Perhaps clarify this
 * , the order in the opening credits is per star billing (And is shown as such in the opening credits). The order in the closing credits is as shown in the film's ending. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 07:34, 10 July 2019 (UTC)


 * and the cast and crew were without food and water at one point&mdash; For five minutes? 5 hours? 5 days? As it stands, it's prety meaningless
 * Done. Removed. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 07:34, 10 July 2019 (UTC)


 * "with a dash of humor, and thankfully by not degrading its social connection."&mdash;Why is an Indian writer for an Indian publication using US spelling?
 * Done. Changed. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 07:34, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Support, no more queries Jimfbleak - talk to me?  10:32, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Support from Aoba47
I support this nomination; my comments were addressed during the peer review. If you have the time, I would greatly appreciate any feedback on my current FAC. I understand if you would prefer not to though. Either way, good luck with this FAC and have a great rest of your weekend. Aoba47 (talk) 03:42, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Coordinator notes
I see an image review in the last nomination, but has this had a source review that I'm not seeing? If not, please request one at WT:FAC. -- Laser brain  (talk)  23:29, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Done as suggested. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 09:34, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Source review

 * Not sure why all the publishers are italicized here, which is normally done in case of newspapers or magazines.
 * Perhaps because the website field by default italicises the text (it's the technical team who should decide whether or not it should do so). And Template:Cite web strongly discourages using the publisher field for websites. -- Kailash29792 (talk)  03:42, 27 July 2019 (UTC)


 * It should be MTV India not MTV (India) in source 15.
 * The Hindu needs wiki-linking in source 25.
 * Source 44 – this is the only one with the parent company of the publisher mentioned. I would suggest removing Press Trust of India.
 * Source 61 – OK another one (Indo-Asian News Service).
 * Source 84 and 85 – Hmm, more of them.
 * No problem with the reliability although I'm not exactly thrilled about BuzzFeed and Film Companion. FrB.TG (talk) 19:42, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know about BuzzFeed, but Film Companion definitely passes WP:RS. It was founded by Anupama Chopra, and even one of India's greatest film critics writes for it. -- Kailash29792 (talk)  03:42, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for addressing some of the comments, ., BuzzFeed is a pretty reliable website founded by Kenneth Lerer and Jonah Peretti, both of whom also co-founded The Huffington Post, another reliable source. Also, the Northeast blackout of 2003 is addressed in the BuzzFeed source used (Ref no 14) while the two other sources (Ref nos 17 and 35) only say there was "a blackout" but did not specify which blackout. Also, reference 14 addresses that the film's title was inspired by a song from Saif Ali Khan's (who is also in this film) 1997 film, Hameshaa. Also, the only other BuzzFeed source used here in the film (ref no 6) shows Delnaaz's character name written in full as "Jaspreet 'Sweetu' Kapoor". I tried to find other sources for it but most of them only call her by her character's nickname, Sweetu (Jaspreet Kapoor is her actual name). —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 07:36, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Alright. FrB.TG (talk) 14:07, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
