Talk:Nireekshana

Sources contradict on year of film and other details


The article says Nireekshana is a 1986 film and is a remake of Yathra (1985). However, two sources contradict this and claim that Yathra is a remake of Nireekshana, which was made in 1982.


 * Malayalam eMagazine says Yathra is a remake of the 1982 Telugu film Nireekshana: Here's the full quote (emphasis added):


 * Similarly, The Hindu says this (emphais added):


 * While not a reliable source, I see that IMDb also has the film as having been released in 1982.


 * However, Onmanorama, in article about a song, supports that claim that Nireekshana is a remake of Yatra:


 * Another source cited in the article cites awards given in 1986 for Nireekshana to Balu Mahendra for cinematography and to Archana for a special jury award.  This would seem to imply that Nireekshana was a 1986 film. However, the source cited here is a blog from L. Venugopal hosted on blogspot.com. Generally, blogs are not considered reliable unless the author is a subject-matter expert, or they are published through blogspot by a reliable media organization. I do not know how reliable L. Venugopal is. Thee is another PDF I cannot read that also purportedly verifies the 1986 awards.

This could use some further investigation by other editors to resolve these discrepancies or, at least, to note the discrepancies in the article if they cannot be resolved.
