== Slumdog Millionaire ==

What is the resistance to or problem with adding this film to this list? The total being cited by the people attempting add it, $377.9m USD, is not unsourced, except perhaps by the editor adding it: that number is available from the Wiki article on [[Slumdog Millionaire]], [http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=slumdogmillionaire.htm and is correctly cited there from BoxOfficeMojo.com], which, given that it is a subsidiary of IMDB.com, I would say is incontrovertibly a reliable, third-party source, and this film clearly eclipses every other film currently on this list by a large margin.

The only thing I can figure is that it was apparently produced by a UK studio, in which case, I must ask, what is the definition being used here for "Indian films"? This is not specified in the article itself, and there is even another article specifically for a list of highest-grossing Bollywood films, which implies to me that this article is or should not be limited specifically to films made ''in'' India, and rather about films by or about India/Indian peoples. The movie takes place in India, was filmed in India with Indian actors, is based on a novel by an Indian author, and apparently nearly a third of its dialogue is in Hindi, which to my line of thinking makes this an unquestionably "Indian" movie, even if the studio that filmed it wasn't based in India, thus I see no good reason why it should not be added.

:According to the film [[WP:WikiProject Film]], what determines which country a film is from is the country of the production company. It has been discussed many times [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film/Archive_index]].

== Does this list include gross income from DVDs and music licensing? ==

If the numbers at BOI include DVD and music, then the following can be added to the lead (reference that it is originally from [[Cinema of India]])-- [[User talk:TheRedPenOfDoom|<span style="color:red;;;">TRPoD <small>aka The Red Pen of Doom</small></span>]] 16:54, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

''Earnings from DVD and overseas showings accounting for some 12% of the revenue generated by a mainstream film, contribute substantially to the overall revenue of Indian cinema, the net worth of which was found to be {{US$}}1.3 billion in 2000.<ref name="Potts75">Potts, 75</ref> Music in Indian cinema is another substantial revenue generator, with the music rights alone accounting for 4–5% of the net revenues generated by a film in India.<ref name=Potts75/>* Potts, Michel W. (2006), "Film Industry", ''Encyclopedia of India (vol. 2)'', Thomson Gale, ISBN 978-0-684-31351-1.</ref> ''

== sourcing ==

For those not on the BOI top 10 grossing list, other reliable sources will need to be provided. It looks like they often mix a domestic in crores with international in $ so it will take someone to do the appropriate math. I will just drop some stuff here. -- [[User talk:TheRedPenOfDoom|<span style="color:red;;;">TRPoD <small>aka The Red Pen of Doom</small></span>]] 17:30, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

== Billa 2 ==

The editor 111.92.22.36 is probably right. There is no cite for the total gross of Billa 2. [[User:Jayakrishnan.ks100|JK]] ([[User talk:Jayakrishnan.ks100|talk]]) 06:29, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
