No reliable sources are cited for this film, and Google is not helpful as the hits mainly seem to be YouTube ripoffs and sales sites. WP:N, WP:RS and WP:NOT a directory. Guy (Help!) 20:13, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The article on the director Padmarajan says the film won awards. I've found that details on notable Indian films tend to be hard to find online. If the current state of the article (especially it's references) is an insurmountable issue, I'd recommend userfication to either the creator or interested party from the India WikiProject, but keep in mind WP:DEADLINE. - Mgm|(talk) 22:28, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep: Meets Notability (films) . This is a very notable film by world famous malayalam director Padmarajan. The film had won many awards and also selected into Indian Panorama of films. I have tried to improve the article a bit.--  Tinu  Cherian  - 18:27, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment. Google is only unhelpful if you limit yourself to a basic web search, which for most subjects will turn up hundreds of unreliable sources for every useful one. A Google Books search indicates that this film has been written about in reliable sources, but as only snippets are available in most cases it's difficult to determine the extent of the coverage.

 * Keep per the improvements made and the acceptance of English sources not being as readily available as Malayalam ones.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:15, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep looks to me like it meets the notability guidelines. —Borgarde 08:28, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability is clearly established. Thanks to Tinucherian. Salih  ( talk ) 13:14, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
