Appears to fail WP:NFILM, no reviews found in a BEFORE. All currents sources are database sites.

PROD removed with "AfD it" with no improvements/reviews added. DonaldD23 talk to me 13:44, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply

• Keep - indeed, a B-grade film, but not a non-notable one IMO. Sources added, including from one from India Today. The film was released in 2000, and sadly there isn't much information available from those days anyway. Box-office numbers also exist, from Box Office India.

• Keep. The sourcing now is much better than it was and includes an article from two years after the film release. DareshMohan ( talk) 22:19, 11 September 2022 (UTC) reply
• Changing vote to delete. Reason: did ctrl-f "Daku" and found three about Daku Maharani, one about Daku Dilruba and one about this film. At first, I thought all were about this film. DareshMohan ( talk) 05:36, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Strong Delete. The current three trivial refs does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NFILM at all. BFI inclusion is a database, ref 2 mentions the film in a one short paragraph, almost all being quotes (no critical commentary), whereas ref 3 is a database entry on its box office, and even if that's high, fame isn't synonymous with notability. Currently, I strongly oppose keep. Responding to previous keep comments- The sourcing now is much better than it was and includes an article from two years after the film release- we have three refs, two are databases, and the "article" is a trivial mention. Notability per WP:GNG at least requires two or more significant, independent, reliable refs, this is obviously not met. Per Shshshsh's comment, [sources] added, including from one from India Today. The film was released in 2000, and sadly there isn't much information available from those days anyway, if that's indeed true, it supports that the film is not notable. WP:BEFORE search found a couple of books with one hit, not much else. Though, like previous AfDs, I'd wish that Shshshsh could find more refs and rescue the article, though, until then the keep comments assert that routine databases and trivial mentions meet any notability criteria, though, we might need to respectfully disagree, like previous AfDs, on whether this meets notability criteria. Many thanks again to the nom and Shshshsh in the attempts to rescue the article (even if I obviously disagree), and please ping me if more refs are found!
