This film has no sources online save for one review. Hence, the film is not notable and this page contains original research. TamilMirchi (talk) 19:39, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - a review from Times of India and another source from Republic World exist. IMDB, YouTube links are also all there on the page. The sourced release section notes the unique reasons to keep the page. Neutral Fan (talk) 20:37, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Based on Wikipedia:Notability (films), there must be multiple reliable sources or at least two reliable reviews. The Republic World site simply mentions the film in a passing reference while Nett4vu doesn't qualify as a reliable review. If the film were to release at a later date, then an article can be created at that time. TamilMirchi (talk) 20:42, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete it seems to have two reviews. Which normally would be enough to make it notable. One of them is extremely short though and hardly goes into any details. So, I'm going with weak delete. Probably other reviews will come along at some point and the article can always be recreated if or when they do. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:44, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep Notable people from a notable industry produced a work that has a review in a national newspaper (that from among the "Online" && "English" alone). It's not groundbreaking and it's not going to be of any interest to anyone hundreds years from now, which is true of almost all movies that we keep. But there is enough already available to support a very short standalone article, which would, if nothing else, bring completeness to our coverage of the notable people involved in the project. So, why not? Usedtobecool ☎️ 14:25, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, one review does not establish notability. The fact that there are notable people involved in it is irrelevant per WP:NOTINHERITED. Youtube and IMdB are not reliable sources. Fails WP:NFILM. Donaldd23 (talk) 19:06, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note - there are two reviews. Neutral Fan (talk) 01:08, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, however, only 1 of them meets the review guidelines. Nett4vu is not considered a reliable source. Donaldd23 (talk) 01:22, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Has any tried searching in Tamil-language sources? If at least one other review is found in any published newspaper, this article can be kept. --Ab207 (talk) 06:34, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment: No Tamil sources exist.TamilMirchi (talk) 19:14, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• • Comment - new sources added including from The Hindu. Neutral Fan (talk) 23:25, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: As the article mentions, the film was made and then screened for one day only. It is notable in the sense that it has (1) a completely notable cast - so creation would serve as a sense of completion for all involved - and (2) is the first Tamil film to tackle the concept of #MeToo. Here are some presumably live tweet reviews from the screening [1]. Here are some promotional posts [2] [3]. Moreover, there is a second review - and it's evident that the NettTV review is also someone who sat in that screening watching the movie. Neutral Fan (talk) 22:07, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • (1) Notability is not inherited. (2) Are there any sources (read that as reliable, published sources, not just social media) that say this is the first #MeToo related Tamil film. The first tweet cited here is from the author of the review already included from TOI. The other two are from primary sources and are not an indication of notability.

• Comment Based on The Hindu Tamil and TOI review. I now vote keep.TamilMirchi (talk) 01:03, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
