 * Keep per meeting WP:NF. Sorry User:Rahaeli, and even though the article as first nominated was in poor shape, it develops with some WP:AFTER that the film HAS received the requisite coverage to meet inclusion criteria. Even won film awards notable to Indian animation. Some improvements have already been made.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 01:14, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I think there is just barely enough significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to meet GNG. There are glaring omissions in this coverage, such as whether the film was ever released, or if there are any specific plans for its release (television release plans from June 2012 were vague on details, theatrical release plans from December 2012 were similarly vague). I'm not persuaded that the awards for its promo(s) should be considered "major" awards, as per WP:NF's alternate notability criteria, unless promo awards are more significant in India than they are in the US. There may be more substantial coverage in non-English-language media, but I haven't come across any. Sources I considered:
 * [Very brief]
 * (Same story also carried on Z News).
 * Note that the following are primary source press releases, widely published in other publications, and do not establish notability:
 * [Note: same press release appears on in.com, www.prathidhwani.org, SiFy, etc.]
 * [Note: same press release appears on Pink Villa, Indians In Kuwait, SiFy, etc.]
 * This seems based on primary source material as well:
 * [Brief - 2 paragraphs]
