 * Alts:
 * checking WP:INDAFD gives Shab (film) results.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep because the project has had public screening and its production is getting coverage. We can keep an eye out for a return of puppets, but it's ours now and can easily be improved under WP:HANDLE.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 06:54, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - an important film of director Onir. Rajeshbieee (talk) 20:33, 13 July 2017 (UTC)


 * On what do you base your "important film"? It is not even officially released. The Banner talk 22:02, 13 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I agree that simply sharing an unsourced opinion that it's "an important film of director" is not exactly helpful. But not to belabor the point, a confirmed public premiere-release at the festival is just fine under WP:FilmRelease and WP:NF. An esoteric "official" release is not a mandate.

 * Keep - Movie has released and has received unanimous poor reviews in most leading Indian news outlets. Rediff, Times of India, Indian Express, NDTV, The Hindu and Hindustan Times. No point in deleting now.  Jupitus Smart  09:31, 16 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - The film has received large coverage in Indian media and was released all over the country. No point of non-notability. JayB91 (talk) 00:02, 18 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Speedy close as keep, as nominator Much to my (pleasant) surprise, people were able to change this promo vehicle into a worthy article. Sourcing can be improved, but it is not an advertisement any more. The Banner talk 09:56, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
