Random rants from serial ranters don't need to be dealt with. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:08, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like her birthday is already mentioned correctly. But I can't find much evidence it was being tampered with in the page history. Kailash29792(talk) 07:53, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What's there to deal with? The info on the page is correct. She should be thankful a million times for this page and for the efforts put into making it fair and informative, with stark focus on her acting career, not to mention the way all gossip and random media spats have been kept out over the past few years. I seriously think she needs to review her surroundings; other than maybe fake screenshots being sent to her I can't think of another explanation for this post of hers which is utterly false.

True, Shahid, but unfortunately, leftists. :p Krimuk2.0 (talk) 12:25, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Since it's almost impossible to see an actor's (any actor but Kangana probably more) career section without cherrypicking of reviews based on one's personal feelings about the actress and her work, I think it's better that we do what we used to do in the past and gather here quotes from critics' reaction to her work. The review added on the page today (by the way, by an author and reviewer I most respect), as I've found later, doesn't adequately represent majority view. It might be close, I don't know, but I think in order to avoid POV we should reach some common greed and then decide together which commentary is representative enough, if at all. For the record, I certainly don't find this film too appealing, but nothing against anyone in the making, just not my type of film. So here it goes (please add more):
Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV: "This is a Kangana Ranaut show all the way and that is the film's biggest undoing. There isn't a single fleeting moment - forget an entire sequence - in Tejas in which the lead performer is convincing."
Shubhra Gupta, The Indian Express: "of course, its leading lady, whose acting abilities shine through even in the weakest scenes."
Anuj Kumar, The Hindu: "Known to play her part with conviction, Kangana delivers an uneven performance here."
Zinia Bandyopadhyay, India Today: "Kangana Ranaut might not be everyone’s favourite because of the stand that she takes in her personal life, but there is no doubt at all that she is one of the finest actresses in the nation... when one goes to watch her film, they can be assured that even if everything else fails, Kangana’s performance will elevate the movie overall. However, that has not been the case for Tejas... right from the start, you will wonder what is up with Kangana".
Arundhathi Anil, The Week: "To her credit, Kangana puts on a fairly convincing performance, often let down by the tepid storytelling."
Dhaval Roy, The Times of India: "The movie scores high in the action department, which Kangana Ranaut pulls off with elan. The actress looks every bit like a fighter pilot and performs action as effortlessly as emotional scenes."
Devesh Sharma, Filmfare: "The film is a Kangana Ranaut vehicle. She’s a committed actress who is known to give her all to the role and does so here as well. She comes across as a plucky, resourceful combat pilot and does all that’s required of her with panache. But lack of a coherent screenplay stymies her efforts."
Samarth Goyal, Hindustan Times: "Kangana Ranaut as the titular character is earnest as a lady airforce pilot."
Lachmi Deb Roy, Firstpost: "Nobody can ignore the presence of Kangana on screen. Brilliant at her craft and a dedicated actress, she knows her work well."
Abhimanyu Mathur, DNA India: "Kangana Ranaut tries to salvage the film with her performance. Tejas isn’t her best work. In fact, it is far from it. But it is still better than a lot of what we are seeing on screen currently. She effortlessly and smoothly gets under the skin of the character portraying her strength and arrogance with just as much ease as her pain and vulnerability."
Rohit Bhatnagar, The Free Press Journal: "Kangana delivers a halfhearted performance that it is at par with disastrous Dhaakad."
Shomini Sen, WION: "In her latest Tejas, Kangana sinks her teeth into playing a feisty women fighter pilot who has scores to settle with Pakistan because of personal trauma. And while the actress seems earnest in her effort to play a woman who keeps her nation first, it's a sloppily written script that fails her making Tejas very run-of-mill."
Mayur Sanap, Rediff.com: "Kangana Ranaut is competent as a self-willed officer who impresses more in using her voice from a place of calm, rather than raging expression. This is yet another positive addition to the actor's repertoire but her uniform look aside, there is sporadic déjà vu about having seen this Kangana before... What sells her performance here is the absolute conviction and honesty of her fully realised character. Tejas has a tempestuous past, she is vulnerable, shattered, agitated and yet, she stands resilient. Kangana understands these complexities and hits more right notes than wrong ones."
Leka Menon, Kaleej Times: credit also goes to Kangana Ranaut for owning the screen space. She is convincing as ever, in her action and dramatic scenes."
Hiren Kotwani Mid-Day: "Ranaut plays her part with confidence, as expected. However, her performance has an undercurrent of the attitude that she is out to prove her points (yes, she has several) to her naysayers."
