Kantara 2 (film) → Kantara 2Kantara 2 – No need for disambiguation. DareshMohan (talk) 19:27, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination and the fact that Kantara 2 redirects to Kantara 2 (film), although the fact that this film has not even started production indicates that its Wikipedia entry is likely premature. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:49, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion

Reliable sources are available discussing the article, and one includes a statement that production was planned to start in 2023, but per WP:NFF "Sources must be used to confirm the start of principal photography after shooting has begun". No sources confirm the start of principal photography. However, the article does contain some useful sourced information, could it be moved to draft instead of deleted? BalaM314 (π) (talk) 11:33, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Although it doesn't have that amount of enriched sources that we need, mostly they are announcement related source but draftifying would also be an alternative. Tousif ❯❯❯ Talk 07:27, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 8 October 2025

The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus is against moving to the proposed title per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONCISE. (non-admin closure) Glasspalace (talk | contribs) 03:08, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kantara: Chapter 1 → Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1 – I think the complete title is more desirable (formatted per Wiki convention).

Film certification bodies: CBFC, BBFC.
Ticket booking sites: BookMyShow, Ticket New, District, AMC Theatres, Vox Cinemas, Palace Cinemas, MJR Theatres.
Databases: IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes.
Box office: Comscore, Box Office Mojo, The Numbers
Websites: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9].

The opening sentence should be: Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, also called Kantara: Chapter 1 is a 2025 Indian [...]. The Doom Patrol (talk) 13:28, 8 October 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. ASUKITE 14:15, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, Kantara: Chapter 1 is the Common name here, see their official trailer and songs title

YashTheBosss (talk) 22:24, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They use both: [10], [11], [12]. The common title refers to the one used by the media, not in official materials. The official title is also the full version, as confirmed by the censor certificate and the film's posters.--The Doom Patrol (talk) 08:15, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: current title is the COMMONNAME used in sources. Vestrian24Bio 16:37, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sources also use the full version. Moreover, when considering a weighted analysis of its usage across different types of sources, the full version clearly leads—film certification records, ticketing platforms, databases, box office trackers, and mainstream media outlets.. The Doom Patrol (talk) 08:15, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@The Doom Patrol, see WP:CONCISE. Vestrian24Bio 11:22, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support: We now have a, "Kantara, a Legend, Chapter 2" being filmed now, so the full name is better for differentiation here because we will have, "Kantara," "Kantara, a Legend, Chapter 1" and "Kantara, a Legend, Chapter 2".-Baangla (talk) 15:48, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please change this sentence in the, Plot" section from, "During this assault, Berme’s foster mother is killed, and the spirit Guliga emerges from the sacred well to possess Berme. Empowered, Berme kills Kulashekhara in a manner resembling Vijayendra's death." to "During this assault, Berme’s foster mother is killed, and the spirit Guliga emerges from the sacred well to possess Berme and kill Kulashekhara in a manner resembling Vijayendra's death." 49.205.132.45 (talk) 14:36, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made.

I also do not really understand why you think this change is necessary. (I am completely ignorant when it comes to the subject matter.) If/when you fix these issues, you can reopen the request. Slomo666 (talk) 15:52, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am just asking to shorten and combine the 2 sentences.-49.205.132.45 (talk) 16:10, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your new text is different in meaning from the old one. The subject as well as the (finite) verb mood changes from "Berme" (kills) to "spirit" (to kill). It also removes the "empowered" aspect. (whatever that meant) Slomo666 (talk) 16:28, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The current language makes it clear that Berne (possessed by the spirit) is doing the killing. The proposed new language does not. meamemg (talk) 16:57, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request deletion of following statement/allegation/claim without source

Following line claims [11],[12] as source but doesn't have any related info in those links at all. Please delete this unsubstantiated claim.

It received criticism for its theme, as the film failed to address the question: “In the first place, who gave you the ownership?” when someone comes forward and says, “I’m donating these lands to you.” 2406:3003:2003:8FDF:5E61:87DE:2FDD:3A06 (talk) 00:57, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change Starring details, that is both director and starring hero are same, why u didnt add link to rishab sheet in starring? Cb18 spirit (talk) 03:15, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. If you are asking why Rishab Shetty is not linked where it appears in the "Starring" parameter of the infobox, that is because it's unnecessary to link to the same term multiple times.
