Guru Sishyan actually translates to "Master and Disciple". But if any source actually says "Teacher and Student" then i am fine with it.

Done went with "Master and Disciple". Because the actual Tamil word for teacher is Vaathiyar. --Kailash29792 (talk) 15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Too many names in the lead about supporting roles. Almost makes it good to call an ensemble cast.

Removed two names as they were barely cameos. Now better? --Kailash29792 (talk) 15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is Geetha a police inspector?

Yes, written. --Kailash29792 (talk) 15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Raja realises he is Kandhasamy's first son who went missing years ago" – How?

During a school picnic. Watch around 1:43:38 and tell me if I missed something. --Kailash29792 (talk) 15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

main hero, other hero... No. Two leads, and that's how it should be.

See now. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"This was the first film in which the two actors, who were leading stars of Tamil cinema, were seen together onscreen" – The leading stars claim is a bit unencyclopaedic. Can't we simply say that it was their first onscreen appearance together?

See now. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some refs with Tamil sources need translated titles. For example, ref no. 49.

Concluding here. I really think two different people worked in this article. Like two disoriented halves of a film, each having their own narrative. Still, minor reworks could do. Let me know once the comments are addressed Kailash. Regards, Veera Narayana 09:14, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you have issues with the plot, either watch the Telugu-dubbed version or the English subtitled version. --Kailash29792 (talk) 15:38, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, don't ask the reviewers to do that. Remember Fowler? It gives bad impression about your writing skills. Veera Narayana 04:33, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
