Week keep I've expanded the article a bit and added sources. May just be enough to establish notability per WP:GNG/WP:CREATIVE. If the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, which is mentioned by the newswire obituary published unchanged by many newspapers (eg), could be verified, notability would be unarguable. But the award cannot be verified and I'm dubious that he received it given his muted fame. Note that the Hindu obit does not mention the award; neither does Anu Malik in an interview in which he portray Sardar Malik as a struggling artist. Abecedare (talk) 20:15, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as now has significant reliable sources coverage such as The Hindu and book sources, passes WP:GNG, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 19:45, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
