Gulaab Gang

(

)

~~... that the 2013 film Gulaab Gang is based on a group of Indian women vigilantes dressed in pink saris fighting social injustice with Madhuri Dixit (pictured) in the lead?~~

5x expanded by Vivvt (talk). Self nominated at 20:35, 17 February 2013 (UTC).

Length, reference and history verified. However the hook is kind of dull—every film stars someone, and every film has a plot. I suggest:

ALT1:

~~... that former rivals Madhuri Dixit (pictured) and Juhi Chawla are costarring for the first time in the upcoming Indian film Gulaab Gang?~~

It's supported by the sources, particularly note 8. I bet it might even be possible to use images of both of them. Daniel Case (talk) 17:38, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm. I agree. Added the necessary image in the article. Thanks for the review and suggestions. - Vivvt • (Talk) 18:36, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Rivals!!! Quite a strong word, especially when we do have actual rivals in Bollywood. I would propose Alt 2 here...

ALT2... that after a common career span of 27 years, Madhuri Dixit (pictured) and Juhi Chawla are costarring for the first time in the upcoming film Gulaab Gang?

Calling them rivals, on the main page, would be cheap gossip column style writing. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:24, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

We don't have a mechanism that I'm aware of that allows two separate images. Please pick one to center the hook around, if you want an image to be used. Thanks! Also, as the various ALT hooks introduce new facts, they need to be independently reviewed before they can be used. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:55, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

I am ok with any of the ALTs. @BlueMoonset: I have reviewed the references. but is it acceptable if the nominator reviews the references or do we need other reviewer? - Vivvt • (Talk) 04:32, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Vivvt, I'm afraid a reviewer who is not the nominator and not the proposer of the ALT is needed for that. Hoping such an independent reviewer reads this and does such a review soon. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:59, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

The article replaces a redirect and is new enough and long enough. The image is appropriately licensed and I am happy with ALT2 and its referencing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:59, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, Cwmhiraeth. - Vivvt • (Talk) 11:36, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
