This article appears to be about a non-notable re-dubbing of the 1989 film Layanam.

  • Given the extensive coverage of Indian films and film-makers in Wikipedia, it seems anomalous that there is no article for Balram Sharma, nor one for Ruchi Pictures
  • The Ruchi Pictures website claims that the company "was started nearly two decade back in 1979", amongst other things that are of a dubious nature. (For example, the production house "Super Good Films" appears to have started by a different person)
  • The four references in this article point to
  1. the "Ruchi Pictures" website,
  2. the Wikipedia article for Layanam,
  3. A YouTube of unknown provenance, and
  4. the IMDb entry for Layanam
  • Most tellingly, there appears to be no mention at all of this movie in the usual sources for Indian cinema, not even blogs or forums

Article would appear to fail Wikipedia:Notability (films), to say the least. For the reasons set out above, I would also argue against a re-direct to Layanam. Shirt58 (talk) 10:49, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
