• Added some comments in the article talk page. The article has, especially in the second half, several grammar errors. I may correct them as I do my second reading.--Dwaipayan (talk) 21:58, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks for taking up this review. —Vensatry _(Ping) 05:42, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
• I know this is difficult: did you find any commentary on her acting style etc? --Dwaipayan (talk) 13:26, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Except for some "flowery phrases" (like the ones mentioned by Sarojini Naidu and one more from Nehru) I cannot find anything on her acting style. —Vensatry _(ping) 17:42, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
• I see that several sources call her as "Fist Lady of Indian screen" rather than first leading lady. IMO that should be included.--Dwaipayan (talk) 20:04, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

 Done —Vensatry _(ping) 05:35, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

• Update the article already meets GA criteria 2 through 6. I have not yet read the lead section. After reading the lead, and perhaps one more read of the article overall, I'd provide my opinion on criterion 1, and wrap things up. However, this may take a few days.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:49, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review thus far. Looking forward to the rest —Vensatry _(ping) 17:05, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
• I have done significant copyedit in lead. Please see if you agree. Also used debutant instead of debutante. Please arrange categories alphabetically.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:13, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the copy-edits. I've made a few changes but minor ones. Agree with you on the usage of "debutant". As for the categories, is it a requirement for them to be sorted alphabetically? —Vensatry _(ping) 07:13, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
    • No, sorting the cats in alpha order is NOT a GA requirement. And it won't prevent achieving GA status. --Dwaipayan (talk) 18:35, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
• Lead says, "At the peak of her career in 1945, she married Russian painter Svetoslav Roerich and retired from films", but her last acting role was in 1943, and I am not sure if her role as producer should be included in "peak of career". So, I am unsure if 1945 was really peak of her career. I have no other alternative sentence suggestion at this moment.--Dwaipayan (talk) 01:11, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
  • Yeah, there was a slight misinterpretation. I've made a small c/e. Please see if it looks good. —Vensatry _(ping) 05:22, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

In my opinion, this article meets GA criteria.--Dwaipayan (talk) 02:56, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Dwaipayanc for the detailed review. —Vensatry _(ping) 06:13, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
