Notable director (his 75th film) and notable cast, so why are there no reliable reviews? A search in Telugu (or English for that matter) surprisingly yields nothing [1]. No reliable reviews or other reliable sources apart from the single sources already on the article. The old sources that used to be on the article and a WP:BEFORE yielded: [2] [3] [4] [5]. This is not a pre-2010 film, it is a 2016 film, hence it needs more sources.

Note several films by the same director lack articles including his immediate previous film (see the director's filmography). Note: I support a redirect to Relangi Narasimha Rao#Filmography, where the same source about this film is also there. DareshMohan (talk) 01:03, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

• Keep: notable cast+crew+director; coverage about production including a bylined article in The Hindu. Seems to meet WP:GNG. But meets WP:NFIC as it was noted as a shift in Rao's career, marking the peak of his involvement in Kannada-language productions, https://ntvtelugu.com/movie-news/director-relangi-narasimha-rao-birthday-special-62551.html [it is not his first not remade-in-Kannada non-Telugu film?] Would clutter up the director's bio. 123Telugu should imv be accepted as a source to expand reception (although maybe not to base notability upon). Redirect indeed warranted. Very opposed to deletion. -Mushy Yank. 11:33, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Comment: This isn't his first Telugu film not to be remade in Kannada or that wasn't a remake.

He has three other such films like that:

1. Apparao Ki Oka Nela Thappindi (2001)
2. Preminchukunnam Pelliki Randi (2004)
3. Appu Chesi Pappu Koodu (2008)
4. Oo Antava Maava Oo Ooo Antava Maavaa (2023) DareshMohan (talk) 13:33, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

   Thanks! Will amend my comment (that was written in a very confusing way, on top of this). -Mushy Yank. 17:11, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

• Redirect to Relangi Narasimha Rao#Filmography or Delete. Fails WP:NFILM with no significant coverage, in multiple reliable sources and no multiple critical reviews needed to pass notability. RangersRus (talk) 14:01, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
