IMDb Title Year Incorrect – Chidiya (2016) should be Chidiya (2025)

Hi IMDb Team, Our film Chidiya was completed in 2016 but was never released publicly until May 2025, when it had its first theatrical/digital release. Despite multiple submissions and valid proof, our corrections are being rejected. The 2016 release date is incorrect — it was a private/unfinished screening, not a public one. As per IMDb policy, the title year should reflect the first public release — which is in 2025. We’ve submitted: A valid 2025 release date An explanation with evidence A request to delete the 2016 entry Here is the link to proof of release: https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/features/insight/chidiya-trailer-a-tender-glimpse-into-childhood-dreams Please advise or escalate this to the editorial team. Thank you.

Hi SunilGuptaInsig- Thank you for posting the information! Further reviewing, since this film was screened at the Zlin international Film Festival, we will need to retain the initial festival release of 2016 associated as it indicates the title's original release. Cheers!
