*Delete per nom, fails NFILM and GNG. SK2242 (talk) 15:35, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep so the AfD can be withdrawn. SK2242 (talk) 04:36, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep The two book sources added in the article by (Ref #1, Ref #4) give significant critical commentary on the film. -- Ab207 (talk) 16:32, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - books cited prior to this nomination. An unjustified nomination, and I do not understand how WP:BEFORE was met really. Just a quick Google search yields many results in reliable sources, books and even scholarly journals. I'm not referring specifically to the nominator, but I can't get this habit of massively deleting Indian films, even those which are clearly notable. This systematic bias is really bad for Wikipedia.

 * Keep Per above comments. I also have a major issue with how English Wikipedia is handeling its Indian films right now, its seems hugely ignorant for a bunch of monolingual English speakers to decide that articles should be deleted just because they personally can't find sources in another language from one single google search. I think some larger action against this needs to be done as well as a review of a lot of the recent deletions of Indian films.★Trekker (talk) 11:01, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - several more sources added, including books and scholarly journals, as well as a film review published at the time of release. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  11:37, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep It's really strange how this film (and so the article) can ever be considered 'non-notable.' Yashthepunisher (talk) 12:56, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn due to improvements. Donaldd23 (talk) 13:27, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Donaldd23: The discussion can't be closed as 'withdrawn' unless SK2242 withdraws his delete !vote. -- M h hossein   talk 03:51, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. SK2242 (talk) 04:36, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
