 * keep per user:MichaelQSchmidt's comment in the previous AfD. A simple BEFORE shows that the movie existed, and is not a hoax. Detialed info (can be considered as significant coverage) can be found here, and at bfi.org.uk, a non-indian website. Film's most of the cast/crew is notable, so it is evident the film is notable as well. Regarding the reviews, it is well known that India has not archived pre-2000 stuff in online format very well, and current reviewers are interested in clickbaits. It is difficult to find the print reviews for a 50's film even if they were abundant. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:39, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Just because a film exists does not mean it warrants inclusion on Wikipedia. The 2 citations you mentioned are database sites and do not contribute to notability or NFILM or GNG. Having cast/crew that is notable is also not a criteria for the film as notability is not inherited WP:NOTINHERITED Donald D23   talk to me  01:00, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep plenty of sources exist just by going through Google books. It's clearly notable and deletion is not the right course of action - expansion is. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  09:19, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
