(

~~... that after four years Dadasaheb Phalke (pictured) made a shorter version of India's first feature film Raja Harishchandra (1913) as Satyavadi Raja Harishchandra (1917)?~~

ALT1: ... that the original reels of India's first feature film Raja Harishchandra (1913) are lost and available reels are believed to be of its shorter version Satyavadi Raja Harishchandra (1917)?

5x expanded by Vivvt (talk), Nvvchar (talk). Nominated by Vivvt (talk) at 02:56, 7 April 2013 (UTC).

Length is good, neutral, sources, and has been expanded given the day at which it was nominated. I would personally prefer ALT 1 as it is more interesting. Good to go! ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 11:08, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, Vibhijain. - Vivvt (Talk) 11:36, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

There is some dispute that the reels in the National Film Archive of India are of Raja Harishchandra or this film. The hook does not convey this. "the original reels of India's first feature film Raja Harishchandra (1913) are lost" is stated as a fact, not an opinion. Suggest ALT2 ... that some historians believe that presumed reels of India's first feature film Raja Harishchandra (1913) are actually of its remake Satyavadi Raja Harishchandra (1917)? --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 18:41, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

I am OK with the ALT change. Let me know if article also needs to be changed. - Vivvt (Talk) 20:47, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes. Please for neutrality. With golden word "some". Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:55, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
