Theatre (2025 Indian film) → Theatre (2025 film)Theatre (2025 film) – Following the successful requested move of the unrelated Malayalam film to Theatre: The Myth of Reality, the base title Theatre (2025 film) is now vacant. This article is the only remaining 2025 film titled Theatre and therefore should occupy the natural disambiguation per WP:NCTV and WP:PRECISION.

• Move to Theatre (Tamil film). Note that WP:PRIMARYFILM disallows any kind of PDAB in such titles. Theatre (2025 Indian film) is ambiguous and should redirect to the dabpage Theatre (disambiguation). 162 etc. (talk) 17:54, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @162 etc.

  I disagree with moving to “Theatre (Tamil film)”.

  Following the completed move of the Malayalam film to “Theatre: The Myth of Reality”, there is now only one 2025 film titled “Theatre”. As such, “Theatre (2025 film)” is no longer ambiguous and is sufficient under WP:NCTV and WP:PRECISION.

  A language-based disambiguator is unnecessary here and would constitute over-precision. Additionally, the film is a Tamil–Malayalam film rather than a purely Tamil-language film, making “Tamil film” factually reductive.

  WP:PRIMARYFILM does not apply in this case, as no claim is being made that this film is the primary topic for the base title “Theatre”. Dragoonstorm1 (talk) 18:08, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  No objection to Theatre (Tamil–Malayalam film).

  Moving the other article to Theatre: The Myth of Reality does not make the ambiguity disappear. See WP:PDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 18:38, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @162 etc.

  If I understand this correctly, while PDAB cautions against removing necessary disambiguation, at present there is no competing article requiring language- or country-based disambiguation. Theatre (2025 film) is now unambiguous with no other film from 2025 titled “Theatre” requiring further disambiguation. Per WP:OVERPRECISION and MOS:FILM, additional qualifiers such as language are unnecessary. Dragoonstorm1 (talk) 18:53, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  That is incorrect.

  Both this article and the article currently at Theatre: The Myth of Reality are 2025 films named “Theatre”.

  Both this article and the article currently at Theatre: The Myth of Reality are Indian films named “Theatre”.

  Therefore, Theatre (2025 film) and Theatre (2025 Indian film) are ambiguous. 162 etc. (talk) 19:41, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @162 etc.

  Thanks for clarifying.

  Very well, if “Theatre: The Myth of Reality” still qualifies itself to be a second film with the name “Theatre”, then I agree and support Theatre (Tamil–Malayalam film) as the most precise title per MOS:FILM. Dragoonstorm1 (talk) 20:00, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
