 *  Keep  Verifiable as a released film with coverage. Article simply needs improvement.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:56, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Question -- I'm not familiar with the site you referenced, MichaelQSchmidt. Is this a professional review? The grammar and spelling issues make me think this is more of a fan post. (FWIW, the nom is questioning WP:N, not WP:V.)-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  00:38, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 * As grammer and spelling on Englifications of Indian reviews are often problematical, I'll ask User:Sodabottle for an informed opinion. He may find the Hindi souces that I could not myself translate. Whenever I have concerns about sources for Indian cinema, I ask him. And if he tells me this is not notable, I'll reverse myself in a heartbeat.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:58, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

 * It is a professional review. Sify is one of the two major English online magazines in India. (The other is Rediff). But the reviewer seems to have been pissed off about having to watch this movie and has written a review like this. The same review has been reused in Times of India's online portal here. The film was launched in 1991 (!) and took 13 long years to complete. Sank without a trace when released in 2004. I was able to find one more report from 2003 . Wasnt able to find anything Hindi sources too. Usually i would say any Akshay Kumar film is automatically notable because he is one of the big five stars in bollywood and they receive a wide release. But i am not so sure about this film - 13 years is a long time to languish in development hell. Must have had a limited theatrical release. FWIW the film has entries in hindi and nepalese wikipedias.--Sodabottle (talk) 12:50, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Redirect and partial merge to Akshay Kumar. Appreciative of User:Sodabottle's input. As the film article itself is proving problematic to properly source, it would serve to have some sourced information about it in the Akshay Kumar article, so that readers can at least find it where it has whatever notability it might. If more is ever found in hardcopy or online sources, we can consider undeletion.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 11:29, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
