Subject fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG. Only one cited source focuses on this subject. Most everything else I could find is a mere mention or inclusion in a database. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 14:23, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep, per WP:NFILM and WP:NPOSSIBLE. On the NFILM front, the film stars multiple notable actors, and is further noted for featuring music by a female composer, according to this article the only female composer in Pakistan; it thus meets criterion 1, 2, and possibly 3 of the inclusionary criteria section (not sure whether Pakistan circa 1975 would be considered a major film producing country). On the NPOSSIBLE/GNG front, we already have 2 online English-language sources, the source I already linked and . Both of these sources attest that the film was a big hit on release (not to mention that it's still generating retrospective English-language coverage 45 years after its release), meaning that there's almost certainly additional newspaper coverage (likely in Urdu, although possibly also English) available, although it would be difficult for non-Urdu speaking editors living outside of Pakistan to find. signed,Rosguill talk 15:27, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Added 1 more reliable reference and a category. This article already has 4 other reliable references including a major Pakistani newspaper reference. This was a hit film of 1975 per the given references. Ngrewal1 (talk) 21:28, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
