# Talk:Mahanati

-In the movie it was shown Savitri addressed S.V. Rangarao as "babai" (uncle) but in reality she addressed him as bava.
-In the movie it was shown Gemini Ganesh and Savitri had a very good relationship but in reality after the initial years of their marriage they had a very turbulent relationship which led to her excessive drinking and depression.  Gemini Ganesh is a well known womanizer.  Other than Savitri and his first wife he is known to have affairs with two more women.  Actress Rekha is a product of one of these relationships.
-Movie seems to completely ignore her close relationship with other cinema families.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.82.227.63 (talk) 22:38, 8 July 2018 (UTC) 

@Kailash29792:@Ab207:Recently watched the Tamil version. The CBFC certificate states that the film is indeed dubbed.TamilMirchi (talk) 03:05, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

TamilMirchi, then please revamp the article accordingly. Kailash29792 (talk)  03:20, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

@Ab207 Do you think IPA would be useful? I think maɦaːnaʈi is the one. Not quite sure though H:IPA-TE. -- DaxServer (talk) 18:48, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

DaxServer, yeah. I think that's correct. This version had IPA, though its removed by an IP w/o explanation. -- Ab207 (talk) 05:11, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
@Ab207 The edit Special:Diff/892425352 has removed the IPA. Do we need cites for IPAs as well? -- DaxServer (talk) 17:22, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Ahh, you mentioned IP removed it w/o explanation. Didn't read the last part of the sentence 🙈 -- DaxServer (talk) 17:23, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
@DaxServer: Oh, okay. Citation is not needed because its a directly derived from the Telugu source text, ie, film's title. -- Ab207 (talk) 17:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

### Infobox and lead
Non-free use rationale looks good.
Serial comma after Prakash Raj.
Fixed.
That's it here. Lead looks great. 
Thanks :).


### Plot and cast
648 words – plot passes WP:FILMPLOT.

Fixed.
Cast looks good but I would use this template instead.
Done.


### Production

"more of subconscious" → "more of a subconscious"
"her take up the role" → "her to take up the role"
Add a serial comma after "Chennai, Mysore".
"vitange" might be a typo. Replace it with "vintage".
Fixed all.


### Themes and influences

Fixed.
This section feels kinda short. I would try expanding it.
Yeah, I felt the same here. Expanded it a bit, please have a look. -- Ab207 (talk) 09:37, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Make this a subsection in #Production – (WP:FILMMUSIC).

### Reception

Fixed.
