Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak setting?

I added a citation needed tag to the claim that the sunset was depicted in a movie.

A reader claims ticket:2017020610004388 that although Mount Abu was the purported setting in the movie the shooting did not take place there.--S Philbrick (Talk) 17:55, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mythology (May 2022)

The article includes several anecdotes from Hindu mythology, which seem to be of questionable relevance to the page devoted to a geographical location. Could this also violate WP:BIAS? $Clyde2_{3}^{9}$ (👋|🗣|✍️) 00:40, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
