Non notable film, appears to fail WP:NFILM, only thing found is a book that appears to just be a database style publication. Tagged for notability since November 2014. Prod removed with edit summary "no PROD". Donaldd23 (talk) 14:09, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Notable Hindi film by notable actors Raaj Kumar, Danny Denzongpa, Kim, Asha Parekh. This film was a blockbuster hit film of its time, so it passes WP:GNG Walrus Ji (talk) 20:28, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Walrus Ji, having notable actors means nothing when proving notability for a film, read WP:NOTINHERITED. As for the film being a "blockbuster", could you provide a source for that claim other than your word? Donaldd23 (talk) 20:32, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • He was a super star. It is rare for their films to be non notable. Even the business done by the movie at the rates of 1980 shows that it was a block buster. In addition the dialogues of that movie are even being published in newspapers of today [1] [2]. Passes WP:NFILM. Walrus Ji (talk) 20:44, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good case for keeping an article about the actor...but neither one of those articles mentions the film Bulundi. By my count, it still fails WP:NFILM Donaldd23 (talk) 21:40, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please do not forget that this is a Hindi movie. The two links I posted "DOES" mention the film. Just because you might not be able to read something, does not mean it does not exist. Walrus Ji (talk) 21:54, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I ran them through Google Translate and the quotes in the first link are not attributed to any film, they are just quotes. The second one does attribute quotes to a particular film, but I do not see this one listed. Also, quotes do not, in itself, make a film notable. There needs to be reviews WP:NFILM. Can you find any? Donaldd23 (talk) 22:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not true. Point 6 in my link 1 has the popular dialogue from this film along with the name of this film in Devnagri script. Even after forty years of its release the movie dialogues are quoted in newspapers. A good sign for WP:GNG Walrus Ji (talk) 16:24, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep meets WP:NFO: review reflecting on the film four decades later,[1] film's poster included in text on Indian cinema posters,[2] reflection on the film 40 years later,[3] 14th highest grossing film in India in 1981[4] (out of 750 films produced that year[5]).

  • Keep - per Goldsztajn plus "When Bulundi was released , Shaan was the only new generation hero . But the success of that film and those that followed really got to his head." ([3]) --Soman (talk) 16:59, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per sources provided above. Dhawangupta (talk) 11:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per the reliable sources coverage identified in this discussion which shows a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view. The First Post retrospective review is particularly convincing imv Atlantic306 (talk) 02:11, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
