== highest grossing films by year ==

{{edit semi-protected|List of highest-grossing Indian films|answered=yes}}

This page says that Dasavatharam was released in the year 2008 and that it has grossed around Rs.200 crore worldwide.

The page also says that the highest grossing movie of the year 2008 is Ghajini (Rs.190 Cr)

Shouldnt Dasavatharam be the highest grossing movie of 2008?

I request to change the Highest grossing movie of the year 2008 from Ghajini to Dasavatharam.

Thank You>

The artice which is the reference for the collections of Magadheera states that Sivaji had earned Rs 155 Cr.

I request you to change the collections of Sivaji from Rs.148 Cr to Rs.155 Cr.The movie has grossed more than the highest grossing movie of 2007.

I also request you to change the highest grossing movie of 2007 from Om Shanti Om (Rs.150 Cr) to Sivaji (Rs.155 Cr)

== Kabali Gross ==

Hi, please clear my doubts.

According to a single source, this page is mentioning that kabali gross is just 350cr. According to my heavy research, Kabali gross must be over 600cr as many big sources such as the indian express, Indiaglitz,Behindwoods and even the director gave a speech of kabali to cross 700cr very soon. Please add my choice, idea and my proof in your mind and go for more researches on kabali gross as many south Indians are waiting for. [[User:Nito Nithish|Nito Nithish]] ([[User talk:Nito Nithish|talk]]) 16:38, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

:{{ping|Nito Nithish}} This has been discussed numerous times here, at [[Talk:Kabali]], at [[WP:RSN]], etc. The information about Kabali's gross is explained thoroughly in the article with references. If there is a reasonable dispute, it would be incorrect to elevate Kabali to the top of the list and promote the higher number as an indisputable fact. What we ''do'' know without question, is that Kabali grossed ''at least'' {{INR}}350 crore. When the trades finally develop the balls to say definitively what they think Kabali really made at the ''box office'' (not total revenue), for instance if they released their own "highest-grossing films" list, then it might be worth another consideration. But the super-high values obviously included satellite and music rights, which we ''never'' include in gross figures, and nobody's brought any fresh sources to the table since then. So the short answer is that due to poor reporting and a lot of hyped data, nobody knows for sure what the ''box office gross'' of Kabali was. Also, a director is considered a [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]]. We don't use primary sources for controversial data, because a director/producer/actor/distributor would have every reason to lie about the success of their film. Conflict of interest.

The box office source of the Telugu film 'Attarintiki Daredi' seem to be wrong. Please have a look at the below source. The actual gross figure is 131 crores and not 187 crores. Maybe a clarification has to be arranged from both the sources.

:You say that the "actual" gross is 131 and not 187, but how do we know what the "actual" gross is if they're both estimates? I've presented the info in the form of a range [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&diff=763690490&oldid=763644351 here]. The problem with these idiotic lists is that Wikipedia is basically deciding what films are in the various spots, based on individually sourced gross figures, instead of using a singular authority that all the other trades agree to. For instance Box Office Mojo is widely considered a central authority, and if they had a "Top 10 Telugu films" list, that would be ideal. But all we have is this inefficient system of comparing IBT estimates to Business Standard to Box Office India... Anyway, ''Attarintiki Daredi'' had been in the #3 spot, but because of the wide disparity between the sources, I've moved it back down to the #7 position. It's somewhat arbitrary since none of us know for sure, but it also doesn't make sense to keep the film at the top of the list if the high figure is disputed. We did something similar with Kabali. That film's gross was disputed and it seemed ridiculous to place it in the #3 spot if other estimates place it around the #13 spot. All we know for certain is that the lower figure was achieved. I don't know what a good long-term solution for this nonsense is. Thanks Indian film industry... [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 18:15, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

All the Tamil and Telugu movie gross figures are exaggerated ones. It is a vicious circle. IBT initially comes up with some fake numbers first. This will be updated in Wikipedia. Wikipedia acts as a source for some standard Indian newspapers. Wikipedia numbers will be published in those newspapers. Again these are made as source for Wikipedia. Similarly, Tamil people try to exaggerate Tamil gross figures and degrade Telugu gross figures and vice versa as these two industries are equal in size. The gross figures dispute of Shivaji and Attarintiki Daredi shows it clearly. People are trying to exaggerate the gross figures of Shivaji and downgrade the gross figures of Attarintiki Daredi. If Wikipedia is taking the blog boxofficeindia.com as source for Hindi movies, why can't it take the blogs tamilboxoffice1.com and andhraboxoffice.com for Tamil and Telugu movies. These two blogs are almost giving the exact figures. Many Indian newspapers follow their numbers. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/27.49.82.179|27.49.82.179]] ([[User talk:27.49.82.179#top|talk]]) 13:16, 5 February 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:I'd say that only when readers start writing to the newspapers and telling them to stop with the crap, will any of this change. Newspapers shouldn't be using Wikipedia as a reference. That's just stupid. Even Wikipedia [[WP:UGC|doesn't consider itself a reliable source]]. I don't think that the [[WP:ICTF|Indian cinema task force]] at Wikipedia considers Box Office India a blog, but you'd have to ask them (whoever still remains) what the rationale for that is. The objections I've heard for Andhra, is that it's only run by one person, I don't even know if it's clear who that person is. But the most important aspect is that a source have an established reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. I don't know that Andhra has that, and I don't know that Tamilboxoffice1.com does (I've never even heard of this site). For Indian cinema, I'm not convinced that simply because one of the major trades looks to these sites for data that this makes the data inherently reliable. I'm sure there's a pressure for IBT and TOI to report ''something'', so they just regurgitate what sites like Andhra Box Office prints. I've even seen them use data from Onlookersmedia.in, even though that's a blog run by amateurs. Another example would be the insane clamor for clicks that was created when Kabali was out. Sites reporting 677-700 crore "gross" figures, which were obviously inflated. Some of this was coming out of typically reliable sources like Express Group (Financial Express/Indian Express) but it was clear that these figures were being manipulated by the Kabali marketing teams and included pre-release income, etc. It's a big mess, and only a public outcry will help.

The reason for this is, this year 2017, we might have more blockbuster movies getting in the list and pushing other industrial hit movies away.

:{{ping|Nito Nithish}} I don't understand the rationale for the change you are proposing. It seems completely arbitrary. The whole point of a Top NN list is to focus on the most noteworthy highest-grossing films and yeah, a side-effect is that films get pushed off the list. So what? That's the nature of the beast. Typical lists of this sort include 10 examples. It's already an arbitrary figure, but you're proposing we arbitrarily change the arbitrary figure to 15. Why? So that films that ''used to be'' in the Top 10 still get attention? Are we somehow nostalgic for the film that used to be in the #10 spot but now ranks #11? Doesn't make sense to me. It also doesn't make sense that your proposal doesn't include expanding ''all'' the lists. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before and consensus preferred 10 examples.

:I can't see why it shouldn't be added, and I hope that members of [[WP:ICTF]] weigh in here, but I know what the various objections will be from ''casual'' readers/editors: They'll want to put it into its own category, like "Indian co-productions", because no doubt, if a Kannada-Indian/US film pulled off a major hit like an Iron Man co-production, Non-Kannadiga would flip out. "It's not representative of the Kannada film industry! Kannada industry is not bigger than Tamil!" and so forth. In contradiction, editors will demand that there is a column that identifies in some way the ethnic industry that gets "credit" for the film. (The precedent for this was surrounding Baahubali, when people were flipping out that Telugu should get due "credit", and shame on Tamils for trying to take "credit", when the film was listed as "Telugu, Tamil".) Please note that I don't have any preference, I'm just predicting what the standard arguments will be about. I'd prefer if other members figured this out, but I may interject my opinion periodically.

::Thanks for airing your opinion, [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]]. Kung Fu Yoga has made already made around twice the highest grossing Indian movie, meaning once added it will stay their for posterity. So adding that without a general consensus is not something that I intend to do. Anyway all I want is a mechanism to sort out any problems arising from such borderline cases in the future. And if anybody at [[WP:ICTF]] has already evolved a mechanism to clarify what comes under [[Cinema of India|Indian Cinema]], please do tell.[[User:Jupitus Smart|<b><span style="color:#f45342;">Jupitus</span> <span style="color:#05ad83"><i>Smart</i></span></b>]] 04:14, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
