This is a non-notable film, with no sources given, and should therefore be deleted in my opinion. I tried speedy deletion, but ~~they kept on being removed~~ films aren't eligible under A7. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:16, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Delete as non-notable. The article has been expanded substantially since I originally prod'ded it, but that expansion did not include any independent sourcing. --Finngall ^talk 14:21, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Change to keep based on new information. Thank you. --Finngall ^talk 14:42, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Comment. A quick Google search yields non-trivial coverage in sources like The Hindu and Gulf News. Lack of good citations in the article does not mean they don't exist. • Gene93k (talk) 19:06, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Delete- unsourced, almost unintelligible, promotion - Arjayay (talk) 21:17, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

STRONG Keep per easily meeting WP:NF. Gene93k is eminently correct. Come on Finngall, L235, and Arjayay The nominator (sorry Joseph) made a poor deletion rationale, should hone his WP:BEFORE, and really should understand that a topic's notability is found per sources being available, and not whether an article is sourced or not. We have enough sources speaking toward this film for the topic to meet WP:NF. IE: The Hindu, and many others. Did you guys forgot to do BEFORE yourself prior to opining?

Request withdrawn I guess you're right. Joseph2302 (talk) 01:11, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. At least it is now fixed up enough. I'd close it myself per WP:IAR but we do have a few other deletes that need to revisit the situation.
