== 3 Idiots and other older films ==

There's a huge problem on this list when it comes to writing the USD totals. A few films like 3 Idiots were released before the Indian rupee significantly got weaker.

The 3 Idiots USD total should be $83 million, which puts it much higher on the other list. And other films released earlier should have adjusted totals as well.

Nothing's adjusted in the USD list and that means great error. Also, Enthiran's grossed $71 million.

== Merge discussion ==

{{archive top|The consensus is to support a merger into a single list for all films in India. However, there doesn't seem to be a clear listing of all the articles to be merged into this article so that's problematic and this will be repetitive. As to the concerns about the other languages being overshadowed by the Hindu films one, then there should be separate sections for every language if there are reliable sources to support those claims. -- [[User:Ricky81682|Ricky81682]] ([[User talk:Ricky81682|talk]]) 22:58, 11 July 2015 (UTC)}}

There are numerous different articles about one basic thing - revenues of Indian films. All this needs to be consolidated and properly defined, as the current maintenance of several such articles is a mess, an article maintenance problem, and there is bound to be plenty of contradictory details among them all. In the merged article, the top-grossing films would be centralised, ideally with separate columns for domestic and global returns. The "Hundred Crore Club" concept could be mentioned, as this seems to have sources, but it boils down to a list of top-grossing films. Furthermore, it might be appropriate and clearer to rename this article to [[List of highest-grossing Indian films]]. This multi-way merge will take some work, but is clearly justified in view of the current redundancies. [[User:Dl2000|Dl2000]] ([[User talk:Dl2000|talk]]) 04:47, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

:*'''Comment from merge proposer''' - It seems much of the merging has proceeded, and [[Bollywood 100 Crore Club]] scope has been successfully limited to describing that concept without maintenance of another table. However, there still seems to be outstanding controversy whether to fold [[List of highest-grossing Bollywood films]] into [[List of highest-grossing Indian films]].

Ok, if you go to the Highest grossing Tamil films column, it clearly states the movies are produced in Tamil language in the state of Tamil Nadu near chennai. However Baahubali is produced entirely in the state of Telangana near Hyderabad (barring some small schedules). How can you have Baahubali in Tamil high grossing list. And all said don't you really think it is fair to give the credit to Telugu Industry and eventhough it is simultaneously shot in tamil (beacause of tax evasion), what difference does it make from the dubbed version? Let us just stick to the primary language and avoid any confusion (There are lot of articles stating that). At the same time, even we don't want to take credit for Enthiran or I, inspite of them earning huge revenue from Telugu versions

Please go through this article

In paragraph 3 it clearly states, it is celebrated as Telugu cinema's biggest success. It is bilingual flick, i agree to that But it is primarly produced by Telugu Film Industry. Why are you guys turning a deaf ear inspite of getting many requests..

: Again, no one cares about the industry but about the languages. As stated at the top of [[List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films#Highest_grossing_Tamil_films]], the films are based ''primarily'' but it also includes films produced overseas. No one cares ''where'' the film was produced. Adding the separate language was a compromise as the alternate was just to cut them all out and leave it with just the top lists like every other nation does.

I agree that Bahubali has to be under the Telugu cinema section and not in both Tamil and Telugu. What is the meaning of all versions ? The original language section is to be where the movie represents.

Every single movie under the Tamil section is made in Telugu, why is it not being represented under Telugu section aswell and only mentioned as (all versions) in brackets ? Similarly Baahubali has the mention of (All versions) beside itslef is that not enough? Why make this additional fuss about it ?

: The difference between Baahubali and all of these other movies is that Baahubali was, from the start, made in both languages, whereas the others were made in Tamil and subsequently '''dubbed''' into Telugu. There is no single "original language" for Baahubali.

:::Which states it as a Telugu film

:::And please i'm not debating with you people. In the page " Baahubali: the Begining" let it be like Telugu and Tamil as it was shot in both languages. But when it comes to grossigs, the credit shall only be given to the Primary language in which it was intended to be shot in. Please don't say no one cares about the industry. In India that is what most people care about,

Tamil Industry - only produces tamil films (might be dubbed into other languages)

Hindi - only produces Hindi films (might be dubbed into other languages)

Telugu - only produces Telugu films (might be dubbed into other languages), the reason some movies are shot in Tamil is becasue the taxation system in Tamil nadu state, Straight Tamil movie - 0% tax, Dubbed Tamil movie - 15% tax.

where as in Andhra pradesh & Telangana (Telugu Speaking states), both straight telugu movies & Dubbed telugu movies are taxed almost equally.

Simultaneously shot or dubbed is just for economic reasons and so they are not much different

Do not turn deaf ear on this, If you are from India you would be understanding this better.

Even i want Wikipedia to show accurate information and that is the point i'm trying to make

And one suggestion: Apart from the language column, Can you please add a column called "industry". In that you can credit the industry from which it was produced like "Bollywood", "Telugu film industry" and "Tamil film industry" etc.. and then we can actually portray accurate information and scenarios

So that the article can do justice to all the arguments made in this discussion . Please do not ignore the sensitivities just to honor some minute technicalities. Thanks

When so many voices are raised against your traditional approach on categorization can't you just please try to understand the scenario better and why are so many people against your approach. This is not a fanboy enthusiasm, if you can please try to do more research on the film, the directors, crew you can easily come to a conclusion. The problem is not regarding the language of the film but putting the film's grossings under a different language other than the native language

:::: It was a typo. Don't insult people and don't presume anything. The point is guessing how much of a film constitutes a "Hindi/Tamil/Telugu film industry" film (is it actors? directors? producers? location? when an actor crosses over does the industry change?) just leads to these pages of arguing because it's just [[WP:OR|original research]] guessing by the people here.

Baahubali is mainly a Telugu movie simultaneously shot in other language but why did you mention it as Telugu/Tamil instead of Telugu in the list of highest grossing Indian films. I agree it is made in two languages but it should be mentioned only in Baahubali movie page and not in the above list. what do the other people think whether it is mainly a Telugu movie or from other. they should know from which language or movie industry the movie is made. many movies in the list are released in other languages as well but only for this particular movie you are mentioning in both languages so change it to """TELUGU""" as it is the primary language in which the movie is made

why Baahubali movie is in the list of highest grossing Tamil films remove it immediately from the Tamil list. I can't understand why a movie which even didn't gross at least 45 crores in original Tamil language in tn and international markets (leave about share) is included in the list of highest grossing Tamil films that to with figures of 355 crore its absolutely ridiculous. It is not a Tamil movie it is a Telugu movie primarily and then it is made with few dialogues in Tamil simultaneously. Baahubali movie is from Telugu director cast and crew is Telugu but it is being regarded as Tamil movie and is being included in list of highest grossing Tamil films as well. All the official sources regard Baahubali as a Telugu film and even every celebrity from other languages regard it as a Telugu film but this guy says """we do not exclude what the sources have said because we don't agree believe how they have classified the film""" and at the same time he asks for relevant official sources. Many of them are asking and arguing why it is being included in the Tamil list and to remove it from Tamil list but he ignores all the sources provided citing various reasons. A movie which didn't even gross atleast 15% of the total collections is included in the Tamil list. I'm also arguing to remove it from the Tamil list.

: '''Against''' re-insertion: Having a single movie in multiple categories of Highest grossings list doesn't make sense. In India either film is simultaneously made or Dubbed doesn't make a difference. Here are the sources more recently written than the sources presented by TRPOD which states the movie is primarly made in Telugu by Telugu film Industry by a Telugu Director from a Telugu Production house [http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jul/12/baahubali-the-beginning-review-fantastic-bang-for-your-buck-in-most-expensive-indian-movie-ever-made The Guardian] [http://www.forbes.com/sites/saritharai/2015/07/20/look-whos-reaping-the-bonanza-from-baahubali-indias-most-expensive-film-ever/ Forbes] [http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jul/13/global-box-office-baahubali-minions-mad-max-fury-road The Guardian] all these sources clearly focus on the primary language]

:::of course having a bilingual film be represented in all of the languages it was created in makes perfect sense. Denying a bilingual film from showing in one of the languages it was created in does not make sense. If you have a <u>list of boxes</u> and a <u>list of red items</u>, if you list the ''red box'' in the <u>list of boxes</u> doesnt mean that it should not appear in the <u>list of red items</u> - it is still red. -- [[User talk:TheRedPenOfDoom|<span style="color:red;;;">TRPoD <small>aka The Red Pen of Doom</small></span>]] 00:28, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

:::: If i have a 10 - sided box which is painted blue on 9 sides and red on 1 side. If I had multiple options to put in including blue and red boxes, i would rather put them in blue boxes and definitely not in red boxes category

:::: Ok, if we go to the "Highest Grossing Tamil films" category, the description states as "Tamil cinema, producing films in the Tamil language is based primarily in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, particularly in the Chennai" . Is this description true for "Baahubali: The begining"? it is rather produced by Telugu Cinema (Tollywood) which is based in the Indian state of Telangana particularly near Hyderabad. This is exactly where it gets complicated. That is the reason i suggest, instead of dividing the grossing lists by languages better divide them by industries like Hindi Film industry (Bollywood), Telugu Film Industry (Tollywood), Tamil Film Industry (Kollywood). So, that it can give accurate representation of the films without leaving anything to imagination.[[Special:Contributions/108.192.149.255|108.192.149.255]] ([[User talk:108.192.149.255|talk]]) 01:01, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

::::: It's still a film produced in the Tamil language. That's the definition, rather than the location of the film's shooting.

:::::: Hindi films eventhough shot all around the world, still the production house, Director, Crew, technicians the core of the film stays in Mumbai (Bollywood Hub). Similarly Vishwaroopam is mostly shot overseas yet we call it a Tamil film. Similarly Baahubali, irrespective of where it is shot, the heart of the film, the directors, productions house, lead actors & technicians lies in Hyderabad (Tollywood/ Telugu Cinema industry). Tamil cinema has nothing to do with this film barring few actors and a dialogue writer for tamil.

* ''[[Baahubali: The Beginning]]'' was shot in both the Tamil and Telugu languages and then dubbed in various other languages. There is no disputing that amongst the sources. Rather than trying to figure out how much of a film constitutes a Tamil/Telugu (or Hindi or Punjabi)-"industry" film (based on actors/directors/producers/location shot), since it was shot in both Tamil and Telugu originally (and then dubbed elsewhere) it should be listed as both Tamil and Telugu language film. -- [[User:Ricky81682|Ricky81682]] ([[User talk:Ricky81682|talk]]) 11:44, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

'''Comment'''

I don't know what to say. But, as per the trade is concerned, the Tamil version is lacking behind when compared to the remaining two major releases (Telugu and Hindi). If you want me to classify which language ''Baahubali'' belongs to, i would opt for a Telugu-Tamil bilingual. Because, the film's director [[S. S. Rajamouli]] told [[Indo-Asian News Service|IANS]] {{mdash}} {{xt|Given the budget of the film, it’s impossible to recover the cost involved if we release in one language. '''Right from the start, the plan was to make it as a Tamil-Telugu bilingual.''' Hence, we cast actors who are popular in both the industries.}} Here is the [http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/regional/baahubali-is-tribute-to-indian-epic-mahabharat-filmmaker-s-s-rajamouli/ reference] for the same.

When the director himself admits that ''Baahubali'' is a bilingual, i think that should be valued more than anything else. And, for all those who are concerned that Telugu cinema isn't getting its due recognition, i want to cite the case of ''[[Eega]]''. That film, also a bilingual directed by Rajamouli, received acclaim mostly for its Telugu version. National Film Awards, Filmfare Awards South and all notable awards were received by the Telugu version only. In the case of ''Baahubali'', Telugu cinema is being praised by the International media and fortunately, the same can be placed in the article and summarised in the lead provided the content is written neutrally.

So, i suggest this option {{mdash}} Specify ''Baahubali'' as an Indian bilingual simultaneously shot in Telugu and Tamil. Next, specify in the poroduction section that Rajamouli planned it as a bilingual only to recover the cost involved which he found impossible if released in only one language. For all who are concerned for Telugu cinema recognition, please write the content from International magazines in a neutral way in the "Legacy" section. As per [[WP:LEAD]] the same would be summarised in the lead section where we can see a statement similar to "Due to the success of ''Baahubali'', Telugu film industry was noted and praised by International magazines such as Forbes and The Guardian". Any one who does or does not support this may explain their arguments below. [[User:Pavanjandhyala|Pavanjandhyala]] ([[User talk:Pavanjandhyala|talk]]) 08:46, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

:: You clearly don't have objective criteria here. What do you mean that by "the Tamil version is lacking"? We aren't removing it from the Tamil language just because you personally don't think it was the best version, that's a nonsensical way to categorize things. And it's not about whether the Tamil industry "deserves" or doesn't recognition, it's about a single film and what's the best way to classify the films on this page (I'm starting to learn towards a delete all the subtables and just list films approach). And if you care about more about praising Telugu cinema than anything else, [[WP:RGW|you're here for the wrong reasons]]. That's not the point of this page. -- [[User:Ricky81682|Ricky81682]] ([[User talk:Ricky81682|talk]]) 09:03, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

:::I appreciate Pavanjandhyala presenting reliable sources to qualify their statements, and they are certainly right in re-asserting that the film is bilingual, but I too share your sentiment regarding the mindset that a certain industry 'deserves praise'. This page is not for 'praising' a certain 'industry'. This isn't the scope of the page. This page has absolutely nothing to do with a film's industry. I am also in agreement that all subsections should be removed. Perhaps a new RFC should be started in the near future with regards to your proposal. [[User:Elspamo4|Elspamo4]] ([[User talk:Elspamo4|talk]]) 09:13, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

::::If that is the case, then here is my explanation. ''Baahubali'' is a bilingual simultaneously shot in Telugu & Tamil and dubbed into Hindi in order to recover the making costs which is confirmed by its director in an interaction to IANS. There is no need to project it as only a Telugu film for the acclaim Telugu version has received because that shall not change just because the film is a bilingual. So i suggest that the film (includes both the parts) be mentioned as a bilingual one in the lead and mention in the Production section that this film was made as a bilingual to recover the making costs. What say? [[User:Pavanjandhyala|Pavanjandhyala]] ([[User talk:Pavanjandhyala|talk]]) 09:22, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

::::: Where is this bizarro argument about only the Telugu version being acclaimed coming from? Are there sources that say that the Tamil version is horrid or something? It's literally the same film. No, that's not a solution as it entirely ignores the other language it was made in. Further, arguing about the ''reason'' a film was made in various language (again without providing sources) as a justification for how it should be categorized is again [[WP:OR|original research]] as if certain reasons (budget, financing, marketing) are good while others are not. The film was made in two languages. We should not be coming back here when the next film make in two languages (or three) [made, not dubbed that seems clear] to debate about what reasons it was made in those various languages, whether one language makes it "more" acclaimed than another or "more" amazing or whatever that accomplishes nothing here in terms of consistency and is just people here picking and choosing based on their personal interests. -- [[User:Ricky81682|Ricky81682]] ([[User talk:Ricky81682|talk]]) 09:39, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

::::::See. I provided the source in my first message here. If you missed it, [http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/regional/baahubali-is-tribute-to-indian-epic-mahabharat-filmmaker-s-s-rajamouli/ here] is the reference i quoted and it was not an original research as you say. With this, i can prove that ''Baahubali'' is a bilingual film. Coming to the acclaim problem, many websites such as Forbes and all mentioned the Telugu version of ''Baahubali'' in particular. This and the box office success of the film "as a whole" (i mean together in all languages) made a few quote that ''Baahubali'' is only a Telugu film. By stating the reason why this film was made as a bilingual, i want to make it clear that this is not just a Telugu film but a bilingual. Nothing else from my side. I'm done with it. What all can do after reading the content in that source carefully and this last message of mine here, please do the needy. I just wanted to make sure that the filmmaker's intention is clearly mentioned in the related articles (Baahubali: The Beginning, Production of Baahubali and Baahubali: The Conclusion) to avoid unnecessary confusions regarding the issue whether this is a bilingual or not.

I reverted [[User:Marchoctober]]'s edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&diff=673262569&oldid=673261315 here] because I think it's clearer to organize the films as by language and not by "industry". Again, how much of a film has to be done in a particular place to constitute which "industry" it's part of just leads to more [[WP:OR|original research]] and infighting than a simple language separation. Along with concerns about the headings breaking the MOS, looking at other articles, it's done simply by language (for example, there's argument that there exists various film industries in the US not just in Hollywood but we don't separate it that way). [[List of highest-grossing films in Hong Kong]] uses Chinese-language not a "film industry" distinction. The only other page I could find with separate countries was [[List of most expensive non-English-language films]] which breaks into language I think. -- [[User:Ricky81682|Ricky81682]] ([[User talk:Ricky81682|talk]]) 06:16, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

:: Language is not as precise as film industry information is, this article which is exclusively about Grossing, there are multiple films on this list for example Enthiran which is listed only as Tamil language, but it was released in Hindi, Telugu and tamil and '''it grossed in all these languages, but it was always mentioned as Tamil because it is from Tamil film industry/Kollywood'''. Similarly Baahubali has to be mentioned as Telugu/Tollywood though it has other versions. It has been traditionally followed as industry way of representing information but was mentioned in form of language, as language was almost analogous to film industry, but now since language is not a precise way of representing the information, for example films are made in multiple languages, film industry is the right way to represent the precise information.[[User:Marchoctober|Marchoctober]] ([[User talk:Marchoctober|talk]]) 06:29, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

:::::'Film industry' isn't a conventional way of categorizing films. Sources have multiple ways of classifying which film industry a film is produced; it is a highly variable and subjective term. I looked for sources on the India Information Ministry and they did not have any listings of 'industries'. Even [http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-33460642 the BBC] mentions only the languages of the highest grossing films and omits any mention of their industries.

{{reply|Db135}} made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&type=revision&diff=673274971&oldid=673273060 these edits] but I don't think that boxofficecapsule.com is a reliable source as defined at [[WP:RS]]. It's an unsourced blog and [http://www.boxofficecapsule.com/about-us.aspx this page] states that it's provided some unnamed, unexplained "scientific approach." -- [[User:Ricky81682|Ricky81682]] ([[User talk:Ricky81682|talk]]) 08:50, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Bajrangi Bhaijaan should be after Chennai express but it is before Baahubali. The reference cited shows that its gross is 410cr and it is also after Chennai express movie in the reference page list. So please update if my argument seems correct.
