[edit] POV

A lot of POV comments below the heading "Criticism".I am adding a POV tag.--Sahodaran 10:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I have made some changes. How is it now? If you stll feel it is POV, just edit it.--Raghu 13:48, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

yeah,its okay as of now.but the things that come under crticisms in the present article is something that praises lal.the content is somewhat okay,but it should not come under the heading Criticisms.Also,I think lal is behind Aashirwad productions and Antony Perumbaavoor.So why dont we mention it?--Sahodaran 06:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Criticisms don't have to be negative (shortcomings) always, so even the praises should be written under Criticisms. I have listed two negative criticisms that I know. If you don't have any objection I will remove the POV tag.--Raghu 15:43, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I think it is misleading to say - Four time national award winner. There were only two National awards for best actor and one Jury's special mention. I think the fourth one is for the best film. Better decent to say two best actor awards and a jury's special mention. (The special mention is not award) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.115.69.130 (talk) 18:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Date of Birth

I 've changed Mohanlal's DOB form May 21, 1950 to May 21, 1960, which is what is mentioned in IMDb. Additionally, i have seen several interviews where the actor says that he was born in 1960.

Date of birth needs to be changed to May 21, 1960 refer to official site mohanlal.org

[edit] Filmography

The filmography done like Kamal Haasan looks spiff. separated by years(years come first and then title. Extra subheadings like as miscellaneous crew, and respective detailsactivevoid 15:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

If you've got the time and patience, go for it! :-) -- thunderboltz^{a.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK}07:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

The picture in the infobox should show his face without make-up so people who have seen films other than the one depicted can recognize the guy and say now I know him. It also just seems like good form. Jztinfinity 14:15, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My edits

I've solved the picture problem. I also accumulated relevant pics from other articles and posted them here. The filmography section need to be tabulated. I request experts' help in this area--Anoopkn 08:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Reordered in order to wikify the article--Anoopkn 14:25, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I've wikified the references and cleaned up the article a bit. Still needs a lot of work. --vi5in^[talk] 18:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mohanlal-thanmathra.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Mohanlal-thanmathra.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Since the original uploader had his account removed, I'm posting it here. rohith 18:58, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I suggest immediate merging of this articles Naveenpf 03:47, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article cleaned up

I have tried to clean up this article"Liquor promotion puts Mohanlal in trouble", remove the peacock terms. It is time we gave Mohanlal proper respect by attributing a quality article to him. Please follow Wikipedia's encyclopediac tone and do not praise him sky high here. It will only look ridiculus in the eyes of people who don't know him. Kindly help improve the article by bringing in a lot more credible references, criticisms and quality photographs. raghulka 03:45, 07 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Mohanlal with Mohan Lal

I suggest merging Mohanlal with Mohan Lal. Mohan Lal is a probably a better page with better facts, so I propose closing down Mohanlal and merging it with Mohan Lal]

I have merged the theatre and the filmography section from Mohan Lal into this already. The rest of the matter in Mohan Lal contains a lot of superlative tones and will be considered POV. I feel this one looks much more neat now. It contains all the details in the other one arranged in it's proper section. Although we are all Mohanlal fans, I feel this article should look neutral and not read like a fan's admiration, so that it will gain respect from outsiders. Mohanlal is such a colosuss that he doesn't need a fan's adulation to make him look respectable. Just reading through the list of characters that he has portrayed leaves you in awe. Let's leave it understated. Mukesh.mv 07:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I have moved your link to the other article to the See Also section at the end. Mukesh.mv 11:47, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is it mohanlal or mohan lal?

Hi, I have a question. I always thought Lal was the surname(second name) and Mohan was the first name. am i right or wrong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.159.43.157 (talk) 11:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Lal is not his surname. It is part of his name. In Kerala the surname is usually the name of the house or family to which he belongs. Don't know what that is for Mohanlal —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.196.212.2 (talk) 09:03, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
