Highest-grossing film starring a female protagonist[edit]

This source from Bollywood Hungama reported that Tanu Weds Manu Returns, which starred Kangana Ranaut, earned ₹150 crore (US$19 million) in India. Neerja, on the other hand, per the source in the article has earned ₹65 crore (US$8.1 million) domestically. It would thus be unfair to call it the highest-grossing "women-centric" film despite what the source claims. I have, thus, changed it to "one of the highest-grossing films..." --Krimuk|90 (talk) 07:55, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems legit. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:02, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What about WP:PROTAGONIST? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:51, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article talks about avoiding "interpretations in the form of labels" to cast members in a film. In this context, the "protagonist" simply refers to her being a woman who is the lead of the film. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 01:55, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You've confused me, Krimuk. What is a "protagonist" if it's not a label that requires us to interpret her role as "lead"? And how is your interpretation of protagonist in line with "Interpretations in the form of labels (e.g. protagonist, villain, main character) should be avoided"?

Krimuk90 Well, I don't think Tanu Weds Manu Returns was purely a women-centric film. Beside, we need to write according to what sources says! MBlaze Lightning -talk! 15:00, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I would generally agree with you, but not everything that is published needs to be included. And given the sorry state of film-related journalism in India, we need to make informed choices on what to add and what not to. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 01:55, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think this should be removed completely from all the articles because a film is a film. If this is the case then we will have to quote that PK is the highest grossing film with a male protagonist. Why it is required to divide everything? I don't see this with Hollywood articles. Bollywood articles are too much decorative, which makes Hollywood stars looks like struggling actors. Mary Kom, Kahaani and Queen are also one the highest grossing films featuring a female protagonist and I don't see this mentioned there. It was new 8 years ago when Fashion did well. Now its trend and should mostly be credited to the great reviews these films receive. I still can't figure out what to do here. But this over decoration should be stopped.Krish | Talk 15:19, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Krish!: I completely agree with Krish. I am an Indian and I know that Neerja is not the highest grossing film with women lead. Mary Km, kahaani, and Queen did significantly well. 'One of the top grossing films' is okay and should be impltemented. Thanks and Regards VarunFEB2003 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OVERLINK[edit]

Per WP:OVERLINK -

An overlinked article contains an excessive number of links, making it difficult to identify links likely to aid the reader's understanding significantly.[1] A 2015 study of log data found that "in the English Wikipedia, of all the 800,000 links added ... in February 2015, the majority (66%) were not clicked even a single time in March 2015, and among the rest, most links were clicked only very rarely", and that "simply adding more links does not increase the overall number of clicks taken from a page. Instead, links compete with each other for user attention."

@FrB.TG: re: your reversion here (in reponse to my removal of wikilinks from concepts like "Best Actress" where you note, "It doesn't provide understanding of what the words "best actress" means, but they are linked to the categories from the particular awards, s/th that is practiced in many, many articles." Your point is noted, and with that in mind, in this edit I removed the duplicate wikilinks for general awards like Zee, Stardust, etc. without touching the category links.

If Wikipedia is not a directory, then it would seem we certainly don't need multiple wikilinks for each utterance of "Best Actress". If for example she won Best Actress in a Comedy or Romance at the Stardust Awards, would you agree or disagree that we only need one link to Stardust Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Romance? WP:OVERLINK no doubt exists to prevent content from being turned into seas of blue links, so surely some improvement of the blue wall found here could be made, no? Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:01, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: Let's do the same thing with the categories, as you did here and make the table unsortable. – FrB.TG (talk) 20:37, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Updating her name[edit]

Since the article was moved to her married name, she needs to be referred to as "Ahuja" throughout the article now. It's thoroughly confusing to keep referring to somebody as "Kapoor" when she's been introduced as "Sonam K Ahuja". Largoplazo (talk) 03:09, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Krimuk2.0: You made the move. Thoughts? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:01, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
