In terms of celebrating the birthday of my article of over 1 month, and you remove my article with no reaction.

I reposte my article...

A source for both Vijay starrer, Theri and Thuppaki. To prove, that catchnews.com is a realible source, i pick up some statements of the article, and proved the statements with some reliable sources.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160610123456/http://www.catchnews.com/regional-cinema/50-blockbuster-days-for-vijay-theri-all-set-to-emerge-actor-biggest-hit-till-date-ilayathalapathy-vijay-theri-latest-box-office-news-1464936262.html

In the article they said: "The Ilayathalapathy-starrer collected a record-breaking Rs 4 crore at the Chennai Box Office to see the highest four-day opening weekend ever in Chennai."

To prove that statement, indiaglitz reported:" In the capital city Chennai the film has collected a whopping Rs.5.53 crores in its first week."

http://www.indiaglitz.com/vijay-samantha-theri-collects-rs-47-crores-in-tamil-nadu-in-first-week-tamil-news-157283.html

In the article they said: "On it's opening day, Theri collected Rs 29 crore..."

To prove that statement, www.ibtimes.com reported: "Vijay's "Theri" has got a great start at the worldwide box office. The Tamil movie has raked in Rs. 28.96 crore worldwide from over 1200 screens on its first day."

http://www.ibtimes.co.in/theri-worldwide-box-office-collection-vijays-film-shatters-first-day-business-records-674925

In the article they said: "The Ilyathalapathy-starrer has also crossed the coveted Rs 100 crore in just six days..."

To prove that statement, www.ibtimes.co and indiaglitz.com reported the same.

To prove that statement, today indiaglitz published the gross of Tamil movies in Kerela..

== Premam gross ==

Re: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&diff=747008464&oldid=746958771 this edit] by {{u|Ananth sk}} who resubmitted content after it was challenged by {{u|Charles Turing}}, I think it's a bad idea to use slideshows like [http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/Highest-grossing-Malayalam-films-of-all-time/photostory/49755072.cms this] as references. Slideshows aren't really journalistic articles and are almost certainly assembled by interns and lesser staff, not necessarily by reporters. Another thing to consider is that just because a number is ''higher'' doesn't mean that it's any more accurate than the last number that was there. They're both estimates. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 23:22, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

I resubmitted the content after it was challenged by {{u|Charles Turing}} because all the three references stated that the the collection of the movie was above 60 crore and one among them specifies it to be 63. If slideshows like [http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/Highest-grossing-Malayalam-films-of-all-time/photostory/49755072.cms this] as mentioned above are not reliable resources to be used as references, please ignore the change that I made. Apologies for that edit . [[User:Ananth sk|Ananth Sk]] ([[User talk:Ananth sk|talk]]) 5:30 , 1st November 2016 (UTC)

:Not only about the slideshow, some sources states that it collected 60 cr, and some other says it to be over 60. All these are just estimates. There are always some odd sources for every film that states a different figure. For ''Premam'' I have came across such sources which cites 63cr, 67cr and even 75 cr, but haven't seen another single source supporting it, and sometimes contradicts themselves in another report. See [http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/media/entertainment/regional-films-do-well-at-box-office-while-english-peers-stagnate-shows-data-from-pvr-inox-leisure/articleshow/51387025.cms this source] for ''Drishyam'' from ''[[The Economic Times]]'', it says "According to various traders' estimates, Drishyam was the first Malayalam film to collect Rs 100 crore at the box office..." - this is another example. Without fact checking, If we are citing these odd reports then we can easily manipulate any box office figure. Currently ''Premam'' is cited with sources from 6 different news agencies that reports an estimated 60 crore worldwide. --[[User:Charles Turing|Charles Turing]] ([[User talk:Charles Turing|talk]]) 13:22, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

::A certain amount of critical thinking is necessary as well, because in some cases, the sources might be reporting the totality of what the film made, including other revenue streams like rights sales, which we would ''not'' want to factor into the gross. Gross = box office ticket sales only. It's incumbent upon good editors to treat financial figures with great circumspection, and not make the assumption that simply because a number is higher or newer, that it is more accurate. Estimations are estimations. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 17:32, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

== Baahubali in Tamil list of highest grossing ==

Baahubali is a Telugu film with Telugu actors,made by Telugus.

Baahubali: The Beginning was produced in Tollywood, the center of Telugu language films in India, which is based out of Hyderabad. The film series is touted to be the most expensive in India till date.In February 2011, S. S. Rajamouli announced that he would star Prabhas in his upcoming movie.[14]

-this is from Baahubali's own wiki page.

It is not a Tamil movie and should not be in Tamil list. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:C4:4001:4748:DD9:5334:CD4B:BB3F|2601:C4:4001:4748:DD9:5334:CD4B:BB3F]] ([[User talk:2601:C4:4001:4748:DD9:5334:CD4B:BB3F#top|talk]]) 20:11, 6 November 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:This has been discussed in depth before. See the talk page archives. This isn't a list of Indian films organized by ethnic film industries, this is a list organized by languages. Baahubali was filmed in multiple languages, so it's listed under both languages. Sorry if that conflicts with your worldview.

== Veer-Zaara removal ==

In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&diff=748084614&oldid=748084289 this edit] I removed Veer-Zaara from the Highest-grossing by year table. The BOI reference did not resolve and a quick check of Archive.org did not turn up a useful reference. The data was silently restored [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&curid=37650258&diff=748086587&oldid=748085784 here] by Taniya94, but there were no new references added, and the BOI link still did not resolve. Taniya did not respond to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Taniya94&diff=748087608&oldid=747986789 my comments] on their talk page, so I have again [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&diff=748682643&oldid=748682007 removed the data] as insufficiently supported. Per [[WP:BURDEN]], the onus is on Taniya to provide an appropriate reference if the content is restored. I have found some info at Archive.org at [https://web.archive.org/web/20151117101945/http://boxofficeindia.com/Movies/movie_detail/veer_zaara#.WCNgzPorKUk this link], but 1) the data is a bit conflicting as there are two Gross values, and 2) the source does not say that the film was the highest-grossing film of that year, which presents an additional and significant problem. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 17:57, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

{{yo|Kailash29792|Bollyjeff|Charles Turing}} and anyone else... I'm looking at [https://web.archive.org/web/20151117101945/http://boxofficeindia.com/Movies/movie_detail/veer_zaara#.WCNgzPorKUk this archive] of a BOI report on Veer-Zaara. I'm having trouble understanding what is being communicated here because there are two "Total Gross" values, one significantly higher than the other. Also, since the data was being proposed for inclusion in a "Highest-grossing by year" table, do you have any thoughts about how we can determine if this film was the highest-grossing film of 2004? Thanks. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 18:00, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
