Nice to see that you have tackled this one hell of a film. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 06:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Review

• How is File:Sholay.jpg relevant? It grossly fails WP:NFCC#8.
• The plot section is just toooooo long. Try to copy-edit and make it in four sections as is the norm.
• The cast list is totally unsourced and looks like a directory. Try moving and merging it in the cast list. Look at upcoming films like W.E. for clarification and encyclopedic means of doing it.
• Linking urls in the text is not acceptable. Please remove such instances.
• Try using en-dash, check the whole article. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 10:11, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Sholay.jpg - Done, plot section - Please explain, I don't see many film plots with four sections. It is a couple hundred words longer than average though; cast list - Most film cast sections are unsourced, but I added one; Linking urls - Done; en-dash - Please explain; I don't see this (or cast source or four section plot) in FAs like Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Is it a template or script of some kind? BollyJeff || talk 18:32, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

plot - reduced from 972 words to 754 (further reduced to 710); en-dash - there seems to be a discussion going on about this at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#en_dash_in_compounds... so I would prefer not to mess with it unless absolutely necessary. BollyJeff || talk 20:26, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm not talking about en-dash in compounds, but as a link. Like "Amitabh Bachchan – Jai", here we use en-dash, not normal "-". — Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Done - I finally found them in the special characters section of the editor. Hopefully the middle of these (- – —) is the right one. BollyJeff || talk 13:27, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Legolas had to take a long-term break, so I'll request a second opinion so this review can be wrapped up? Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 01:00, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I looked it over. I don't have any issues - so I am moving to promote. Lord Roem (talk) 01:55, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
