From what I have seen, this film fails WP:NFILM and W:GNG, because there is an absence of substantive coverage in reliable, secondary sources. Additionally, none of the individuals involved are notable enough for all of their work to be inherently notable. I actually came to this because it was created by a user now blocked, but there were questions over whether it was G5 eligible, and so the consensus was to PROD their creations. The PROD was removed by another editor who felt this needed a full AfD. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It seems to be a movie with two massively huge Bollywood superstars: Hema Malini and Govinda. Biwom (talk) 18:30, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Pre-internet coverage online for Indian films is difficult to find. Does that mean anything pre-internet is automatically non-notable? Nope. We look anyway, consider cast and crew and then WP:CSB and WP:NTEMP... IE:

and per WP:INDAFD "Maahir movie" "Lawrence D'Souza" "Talat Rekhi" "Harish Barot" "Bappi Lahiri" "Monang Films International" "Hema Malini" "Govinda" "Farha Naaz" "Raj Babbar" to see that it is not impossible to source them. A commercial screening almost 2 decades after initial release is one of those notability considerations. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 04:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MichaelQSchmidt, I'm certainly willing to reconsider my position if enough reliable coverage is provided; but you've provided a bunch of search results of the people related to this movie, which do not really add to notability. Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 05:22, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vanamonde93: I am not asserting WP:INHERIT, only pointing out the reasonable consideration that as a film is often discussed in relationship to its principles, it is through THAT coverage that we can have a notability, even if one chooses to ignore WP:NF#Other evidence of notability.

Keep The film is notable as it starred Govinda and Hema Malini, two of the biggest Bollywood stars.Rajeshbieee (talk) 09:25, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
