Alright i am a new editor here but i strongly object to the proposed deletion of the "Umroayyar - A New Beginning" Wikipedia article. The article meets all the necessary criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia and documents a notable cultural and cinematic achievement. Here are the key reasons for keeping the article:

1. Notability "Umroayyar: A New Beginning" is a significant film in Pakistani cinema. It is one of the few films that blends science fiction and fantasy within the Pakistani film industry, setting a new benchmark for genre films in the region. The film's notability is underscored by its selection and presentation at major film festivals, including WonderCon and the Red Sea Film Festival, where it received attention from international stars like Will Smith and Johnny Depp.

2. Critical Reception The film has garnered positive reviews from several reputable sources: Daily Times praised the film, stating, "UmroAyyar — A New Beginning gets thumbs up from moviegoers."

Dunya News described it as "A visual treat you should not miss." Khaleej Times called it "a good introduction to Pakistan's first superhero." These reviews are from well-established media outlets, indicating significant critical acclaim and public interest.

3. Box Office Success The film has demonstrated considerable commercial success: It collected 5.07 crore PKR within the first three days of its release. It reached 10.78 crore PKR within the first two weeks from the Pakistan box office alone. This level of financial performance is notable and reflects the film's impact and popularity among audiences.
