Non-notable film. No references. No links other than IMDB, which is not a reliable source. Barely any information, other than a basic definition and the year it was made. Stedrick (talk) 19:11, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Coverage is bad, agreed, but so is coverage generally of the dark period of Bollywood in the 80s to mid 1990s. Dharmendra is one of Bollywood's biggest actors. I believe what the article now has will suffice.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:12, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It has been improved and sources added. BollyJeff || talk 20:25, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes coverage in google books is virtually non existant, but I have a feeling quite a lot of Bollywood films of this period are the same. Maybe it was also released in a Hindi title?♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:49, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep That older Bollywood films of this period do not have extensive internet sourcability is a problem that WP:N recognizies.(See WP:ATTRIBUTES) But that it had theatrical release in India in 1996, AND a commercial re-release on television 10 years later in Canada meets one of notability considerations of WP:OEN. It has been improved enough so that having it remain and be further improved by those more able to find Hindi-language sources is reasonable.

Keep As per MichaelQSchmidt. If the movie had theatrical release in India in 1996, and a commercial re-release on television 10 years later in Canada, then it definitely meets one of notability considerations of Wikipedia:NF#Other_evidence_of_notability.
