The entire article survives on a single Maalai Malar review. I don't think that Malini Mannath's reviews outside The New Indian Express, Chennai Online and The Indian Express are notable (website is blog like). There are no sources about her unlike Komal Nahta. Other Tamil films that have a single Maalai Malar review have plenty of outside notable production sources: Engada Iruthinga Ivvalavu Naala, Vilayattu Aarambam, 50/50 (2019 film).

- Keep: All reviews are usable. This one seems to have been established by Diamond Babu. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:55, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Kailash29792's comment establishes there is at least one more reliable review, which, with the one DareshMohan mentions, makes at least 2. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 13:36, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - sources exist. Neutral Fan (talk) 00:18, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Neutral Fan: Can you add another review? I only see Maalai Malar as being notable. DareshMohan (talk) 06:00, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

- Keep if the sources are as they appear. I cannot read in Tamil. I don't want a notable film to lose out because of the natural bias that almost everyone who works on the English Wikipedia speaks English. Will defer to any Tamil reader who finds the sources wanting. Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:57, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Darkfrog24: Being a Tamil user, I nominated it for deletion. This a low-key film. There is one notable review from Maalai Malar. Malini Mannath, used to write for The New Indian Express but this review was from her blog page. Could not find any sources about Malini Mannath, herself, which is why she does not have her own page. The other review Film News 24x7 is probably fine because of Diamond Babu. Hope this helps. Just cause you don't know the language doesn't mean it is inherently notable (you can also use Google Translate
