== Pulimurugan's collections ==

Umm...I am just curious as to why the pre-release business(15 Cr.) has been included in the box office collections of Pulimurugan. The reference clearly states that the movie has grossed 135 Cr worldwide and that it has made 15 Cr. in pre-release business.

If the pre-release business of a movie is also part of the box office collections, why isn't kabali's collection included.

My edit request is to change the collections of Pulimurugan from 150 Cr. to 135 Cr. as the reference used clearly states that the movie grossed only 135 Cr. worldwide.

Thank You.

:{{ping|Arunkxip}} I agree with you that pre-release business should not be factored into gross, since gross should reflect only the money made at the box office. (Similarly, budget should only include production budget, not print/marketing costs.) There are a few issues though: The source making the claim of 15 crore in pre-release business is Tollywood.net. I know nothing about this site, but I don't see it listed at [[WP:ICTF#Guidelines on sources]] and it appears to be a regular old blog to me. I don't know that it would ever be considered [[WP:RS|reliable]]. So I'm not sure why we'd even consider it as a reference ''except'' [http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/Vysakhs-next-to-be-with-Jayaram/articleshow/55957353.cms Times of India] is ambiguous on the issue, saying that the film made 150 crore "in revenue"--or so they hear... So that could be inferred as gross + pre-release, or it could be interpreted as gross, since they follow it up with "making it the third highest grossing South Indian movie this year". But the bottom line is that ''neither'' reference is a very good one here, since tollywood.net just seems generally poor to me and TOI seems to be ambiguously reporting a rumor. (This is another reason why we should be circumspect about our sources, even ones generally considered reliable. See my response to your query in the discussion below. Regardless, it should probably be clarified until someone can find better data. I've taken a stab at that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&type=revision&diff=759390905&oldid=759370001 here].

::Tollywood.net is not a reliable source, I don't know who added that, there are lots of other sources and why would you add that to cite a Mollywood film. The ''Times of India'' source was also not that good, it was an article about another film and just mentions the ''then'' box office status of ''Pulimurugan''. Both the sources are outdated, published in early Dec 2016. There are many other sources out there, which reports up-to-date collection from the time it was released to now. Present sources specifically says it had grossed more than 150 crore from the "box office" worldwide. These are some of the sources [http://www.catchnews.com/regional-cinema/2016-box-office-kings-mohanlal-is-the-only-malayalam-actor-among-top-5-aamir-khan-tops-the-list-followed-by-akshay-kumar-and-salman-khan-1483966620.html], [http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/malayalam/aamir-khan-dangal-rules-kerala-box-office-no-new-malayalam-releases-this-friday-4450504/], [http://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/mollywood/090117/mohanlals-randam-oozham-costs-rs-600-crore.html], [http://www.sify.com/movies/pulimurugan-team-with-mammootty-next-news-malayalam-rbckqPghaiadj.html] among others. The latest updated collection is yet to come.--[[User:John&#34;Eddy&#34;|John&#34;Eddy&#34;]] ([[User talk:John&#34;Eddy&#34;|talk]]) 11:33, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

== Regarding Times of India as a source ==

IF the report from The Times of India can be considered as a reliable source for the Box office collections of Pulimurugan, why is the same source not acceptable for Thuppaki's collections.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Vijays-Thuppakki-makes-180-crore/articleshow/18691254.cms

The above artice from Times of India states that Thuppaki had grossed Rs.180 Cr.

My edit request is to change the Box office collections of Thuppaki to Rs.180 Cr.

:{{ping|Arunkxip}} Did you make [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&diff=758114539&oldid=758113739 this edit]? I'm confused why you would be incredulous that the source was not considered reliable unless you had made that edit. You have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Arunkxip no other edits] to your name. Anyway, the source is insufficient, since it credits a [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]] (an actor, a director, a film producer, a distributor, anyone who is directly involved in the film) as the source of the information. We don't use primary sources for controversial data, since a distributor, actor, director, etc. would have every reason to inflate their numbers. Kabali was a prime example of that. We only want data that has been independently verified (or more accurately in Indian cinema, independently ''estimated''.) So maybe instead of comparing source A to source B, you might consider comparing the ''quality'' of the reference from source A to source B, since there have been plenty of occasions where a typically reliable source has been unreliable for a specific reason. No source is 100% reliable across the board. Common sense needs to be applied. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 21:35, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
