The film does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:MOVIE. A google search reveals nothing notable about the movie that could be added  KJ  Discuss? 14:49, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per failing WP:NF. Apparently this is a 1959 film and is now only mentioned in articles of its cast and production as they themselves pass away. I did find a mention in a 2005 artricle in Daily Star in an article about its music director Subal Das passing away, and a book mention shares translation as Sky and Earth. It would seem this article is more about its lead Aminul Haque and is sourced entirely from two articles about Haque's death.  Perhaps the author might wish to write about that actor.

 * Keep as suitable stub verifiable now as the FIRST Bangladeshi film. Even if never a bigger article, this first is a notable accomplishment.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 03:30, 22 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment. This film appears to have historical importance being the first film made in Dhaka based film industry. Prior to that, the Bengali film industry was primarily based on Kolkata; but with creation of division of two Bengal the industry began to split. Right now, I do not have sources and probably I can't dig up any either, as it is near to impossible to find any source from 60's media on internet. To bolster the notability someone has to come up with some more print media sources (definitely there is none on internet now). We can thus allow some time for editors to come up with sources for it, keeping a notability tag on the article; especially since we have a lot of movie entries with lesser historic importance. –  nafSadh did say 21:07, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * There is an IMDB entry on alternative transliteration:, mention on Banglapedia: and some other place. --–  nafSadh  did say 21:19, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
