Keep - despite the present poor state of the article, even a superficial preliminary google search suggests that this is a notable Bangladeshi film. (There are more hits under the spelling variations Obujh Mon and Abuj Mon). Most results are obvs going to be in Bengali. Time is against me but I'll have a go at adding some refs when I can.

Comment Before they were globally locked for
long term abuse, the creator flooded Wikipedia with articles on topics of dubious notability "on a shocking scale". We at
WikiProject Bangladesh are still cleaning up the mess, a time-consuming process because every once in a while something they created is notable.
[1] and
[2] are
other evidence of notability, stating that the film was screened in at least two festivals many years after initial release. And sources often include the name in lists of Razzak's most successful films. There is precious little verifiable information, however, in English or Bengali, with which to write a complete article. --

Merge to
List of Bangladeshi films of 1972, as an
alternative to deletion, and considering
WP:WHYN's advice: "If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list." Willing to reconsider if anyone can come up with substantially greater verifiable information than "Obujh Mon is a 1972 Bangladeshi film starring Shabana and Razzak". --

Keep, clearly a notable film in its period and easily sourced - some examples "Most commercially successful ones were Abujh Mon (1972) by Kazi Zahir"[1], "... Kazi Zahir's Abujh Mon (The Stubborn Heart) about a golden-hearted Muslim doctor who cannot marry the Hindu girl he loves and later finds her married to his best friend."[2], "Of the post-liberation productions, Abujh Mon directed by Kazi Zahir was decidedly the best. Based on a Muslim boy's love for a Hindu girl, the film showed the ultimate sacrifice the former had to make for the latter. Shabana and Razaak acquitted themselves well in the respective roles."[3] "is among the seven Bangladesh films selected for exhibition under the Bangladesh Film Festival which will tour Bombay, Calcutta, Shillong, Bhubaneswar, Ranchi and other places. The other entries in the festival are Lalon Fakir, Abujh Mon, ..."[4], "Of the other movies of the 1970s, the titles which must be mentioned are Abujh Man (Tender Mind),..."[5] --
