Keep - seems to have been the second biggest movie at the time in Egypt, using [1] and [2] to compare... it seems to have grossed in week one at least 5 times more than X-Men 2 did in its first week. I suspect it's an Arabic Language film, which may explain why there are few sources. The film is known in English as 'Talk to Mama'. The Cavalry (Message me) 14:30, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I should also note that it stars two people, Abla Kamel and Hassan Hussni, who are considered B-List Egyptian stars: indeed, this site describes them as "prominent actors". The Arabic title for the movie is 'كلم ماما' The Cavalry (Message me) 14:38, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per The Cavalry's work, enough to presume the notability of this film.--Cavarrone (talk) 21:54, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Cavalry's work in shining the light. A lack of English language sources simply means we spend the time to use time and regular editing to translate and use the plethora of available Arabic language ones.[3] Non-English notability, even if only to the Arabic world, is fine with en.Wikipedia.
