Source for the Japanese and Russian Films claim?[edit]

I have not been able to find any reliable source on the internet supporting the assertion in the article that there is a Japanese film called Red Roses and a Russian film called Krasnyye Rozy based on the story of Raman Raghav. In fact, the Tamil film (Sigappu Rojakkal) and the Hindi film Red Roses that are claimed to be 'loosely based' on Raman Raghav's story cannot be said to be so. There is nothing common between Raman Raghav's crimes or his personality and the story or the principal protagonists of the Tamil and Hindi films. However, my concern for now is the assertion regarding the Japanese and Russian films.

I am leaving this article unaltered for now, and would wait for a month. If no credible sources are supplied for the assertion regarding the Japanese and Russian films, the portion making the assertion will be deleted. HemRaj Singh (talk) 08:32, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Did a little cursory searching... The only Krasnyye Rozy ([Красные розы] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) on Russian Wikipedia is a German telenovela. No trace of the Japanese version (likely Japanese: 赤いバラ, romanized: Akai bara) on the Japanese Film Database nor the Japanese Movie Database. A search of IMDB only reveals the Indian films. For reference, here's the original insertion of the paragraph in question. Paris1127 (talk) 03:31, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
