Original Language?[edit]

The article lists three languages for the film. What language was it FILMED in and would it not be prudent to list only that language (Dubs devalue the film, no film should ever be dubbed imo).

It is distracting and of no research value to list dub languages releasers have butchered the film with for the uneducated people (who can't read) of that local. If it MUST be included it should be in a separate section titled localized DVD release and not in the information box which is about the PROPER release specifications. This article fails to inform people about such proper release information. Lostinlodos (talk) 16:44, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was actually filmed in those three languages listed, they all feature in the undubbed film.Fay06 (talk) 19:23, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; So many of the foreign film listings on Wikipedia include dubbed languages which the film was not filmed in; it creates confusion and dilutes the educational process when seeking information on films in order to purchase correct and proper versions (those in the original language).

The film also includes French (There is a part where Moushumi speaks French on her cell phone), so I have included it on the list. It is filmed and not dubbed. I hope this works for everyone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.57.55.190 (talk) 05:44, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article should use a consistent spelling of Calcutta/Kolkuta(sp?). Is the K spelling the wikipedia standard now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.13.238.142 (talk) 13:38, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spoiler?[edit]

Is there a wikipedia position on spoilers? In this case it isn't a huge distraction but the death of the father is one of the plot turning points. --Kcrossle (talk) 21:23, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:The Namesake.jpg[edit]

Image:The Namesake.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
