I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   Which Meena is referred to in the casting section, there appear to be two actors of that name.

   There is some broken formatting in the Soundtrack section.

   The prose is very poor and nowhere near GA standard. It needs thorough copy-editing for grammar, spelling, style, clarity and readability.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Behindwoods, apunkachoice, www.extramirchi.com are not RS

   There are at least six tagged dead links

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   The plot section is too long. Consult the guidelines at WT:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   I have nominated File:Posterdasavatharam.jpg at WP:Possibly unfree files/2010 April 4#File:Posterdasavatharam.jpg as derivative of a copyrighted work.

   I query the non-free use rationale for File:Dasavatharam sherwat.jpg. How exactly does this image help readers understand the plot section?

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   OK, a lot of issues to address. The prose, the dead links, the over long plot section, dubious sourcing, the images. On hold for seven days. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 16:01, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
