Draft:Mor Chhainha Bhuinya

  • Comment: I am reluctant to reject this so it gets another decline, because I think it might really be notable – but the sourcing is almost a joke, and the draft keeps being resubmitted without any improvement.
    Of the 7 sources in the current version, the first one is the only one that comes close to being a reliable source, and it's about the director not the film – the movie is mentioned in passing, as part of his production, but it's not the topic of the article. The rediff source is possibly OK, but on its own it doesn't show notability, and it does not support any part of the claim "The film was a major success, grossing ₹20,000,000, recouping its budget of ₹2,000,000 - ₹3,000,000".
    As for the other sources, GK Joyride is some kind of activity / quiz book for children (that's where I thought the draft creator was kidding); IMDB and YouTube are not reliable sources; CGFilm.IN gives me a security warning. bonadea contributions talk 13:44, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: YouTube is not a reliable source. Need in-depth coverage about the film from multiple reliable sources, not just passing mentions. If submitted again without relevant improvements the draft is likely to be rejected, meaning it will not longer be considered. S0091 (talk) 17:59, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Plot

However, disillusioned he is forced to return to the village after facing tough times in the impersonal city where they had gone with a lot of hopes and dreams. [3]

Production

edit

Development

edit

As no films were made in the Chhattisgarhi language till then for a long time, making the film Mor Chhainha Bhuinya, was difficult for writer-director Satish Jain. He had a story ready with him, but no finance was available. The continued budget constraints forced curtailing the movie by cutting back on shooting of 20 scenes and 1 song.[4] The director toured the state of Chhattisgarh extensively in search for actors/actresses for his film. A technical team came from Mumbai to shoot the movie. Even the action sequences were executed by fight master Andlib Pathan from Mumbai. [5]

Filming

edit

The film was mostly shot in and around the city of Bhilai, Chhattisgarh.

Release

edit

Initially, no one was willing to distribute/release the movie. So the writer/director Satish Jain and his brother decided to distribute the film themselves. Exhibitors were apprehensive of the idea of screening a Chhattisgarhi film. But Satish Jain requested exhibitors to release the film in Raipur, Durg and Bilaspur on the occasion of Diwali on October 27, 2000. Initially released with just 3 prints, the subsequent demand after the film became a superhit, meant that producers released 12 prints. [6]

The film ran to packed shows for 100 days in cities like Raipur, Rajnandgaon, Korba, Dhamtari, Ambikapur, Sakti, Durg, Bhilai, and Bilaspur.

Box Office

edit

The film ran for more than 100 days across many theatres in the newly formed state of Chhattisgarh grossing over ₹2 crores in lifetime collections. The film had a slow start in the first 2 days, but word-of-mouth publicity turned the fortunes of the film from 3rd day onwards making it a blockbuster. The film even surpassed other Bollywood flicks that were also released alongside it on Diwali like Mohabbatein and Mission Kashmir in Chhattisgarh. [8]
