:::{{ping|Suraj Sudeep}} I don't know what you mean by "official declarations", since 1) we don't use [[WP:PRIMARY|primary sources]] as definitive sources of controversial information like finances, since a director/producer/actor/distrubutor/etc. would have every reason to inflate their "official" values and 2) There is no such thing as "official" film financial data in Indian cinema.

To answer your question, when we consider a film's gross, we're talking ''only'' about money made at the box office. We're not interested in secondary revenue streams like satellite rights sales, music rights sales, etc. The 43.5 crore value at [[Maanikya]] was erroneously including these values and has been fixed in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maanikya&diff=774585301&oldid=774584612 this edit].

== Highest grossing Indian franchise and film series ==

{{ping|Taniya94}} Your pet project, the Highest grossing Indian franchise and film series table you created, has been flagged for cleanup since November.

#Is there a reason why we're using US dollars in the table when everything else in this article is in Rupees? Previous discussions at [[WP:ICTF|the Indian cinema task force]] suggest the vocal community doesn't find much value in focusing on US dollars.

#The "highest-grossing film" column should probably become "highest-grossing film in franchise" just for clarity

#The figures in parentheticals are odd, especially with the references wedged inside the parens. Maybe another column for the references would be a better way to present this data?

Thank you, [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 14:47, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

I agree, it would be much more sensible if the box office figures were in Rupees as there is always a constant fluctuation of the USD vs INR value.

== Bahubali 2, Tamil? ==

So, the debate starts again and it is decided that Bahubali is a Tamil-Telugu biilingual. Only thing is, the Tamilians write it the hero’s name as Magendira/Amarendira Bagubali and non-Tamilians read it as Makenthira/Amarenthira Pakupali. Wonder what sort of a movie is that when you can’t even write it’s name in the language it is shot.<!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:182.65.47.223|182.65.47.223]] ([[User talk:182.65.47.223#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/182.65.47.223|contribs]]) </small>

:What is your question/suggestion? [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 14:50, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Why is it tagged as a Tamil movie? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/182.65.47.223|182.65.47.223]] ([[User talk:182.65.47.223#top|talk]]) 06:49, 30 April 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

::Because according to sources it was filmed simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil. The language column is not intended to equate to "ethnic ownership". [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 13:58, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

You have seriously messed up the narative, my friend. Most of the Rajanikanth and Kamal Hassan movies are shot as bilinguals and if what you claim is the basis for deciding the language of a movie, then, the article needs a serious rejig. Reveling in false pride is a non-issue for us but, the reality is that, this page is not for chauvinisms and chest thumpings, be it Hindi or Tamil or whatever. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:182.65.47.223|182.65.47.223]] ([[User talk:182.65.47.223#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/182.65.47.223|contribs]]) </small>

:::1) Please sign your posts with four tildes <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. This appends a signature and time stamp so that other editors know who said what and when. 2) I have no idea what you're going on about, re: "the narative". The film was shot in two languages. What do you want the encyclopedia to do? Pretend that this fact does not exist? Or would you prefer instead that we add a column to label each film by ethnic film industry? The latter is not likely to happen, since it's a bit ridiculous and would only be helpful in cases where films are produced in two different languages. If your original complaint is that since Baahubali was produced in two languages, there are inconsistencies with how character names are represented, it would seem that the simplest solution would be to create a table in the cast list with character names for each language. The remainder of the content, like the plot section, would probably be wise to focus on the Telugu names rather than giving both. Based on previous discussion at [[WT:ICTF]] that is my personal guess for what community preference might be. If I'm misinterpreting your query/position, feel free to clarify, but I genuinely don't know what it is that you want to see changed.

== Merger of some articles ==

There has been a proposal to merge [[List of highest-grossing Indian films in overseas markets]] (since July 2016) and [[List of highest-grossing Telugu films]] (since August 2016). It's been almost a year and I propose that someone merge it soon. If there was an agreement earlier about not merging the above mentioned articles into this one then the templates should have been removed. I also would like to propose the merger of the article [[List of highest domestic nett collection of Hindi films]] into this one (or a deletion of that article) since it's very poorly written and doesn't serve much of a purpose. - [[User:Jayadevp13|<span style="font-family:Lucida Handwriting;color:green">'''Jayadevp'''</span>]][[User talk:Jayadevp13|<span style="font-family:Lucida Handwriting;color:red">'''13'''</span>]] 13:45, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

== Timeline of highest grossing movies ==

I would like to propose that a new section be included with the name "'''Timeline of highest-grossing films'''" just like in the article [[List of highest-grossing films]]. It would be very informative. It can be started with films since the year 1990 then be expanded to include the earlier films. - [[User:Jayadevp13|<span style="font-family:Lucida Handwriting;color:green">'''Jayadevp'''</span>]][[User talk:Jayadevp13|<span style="font-family:Lucida Handwriting;color:red">'''13'''</span>]] 13:51, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

== [[Yajamana (film)|Yajamana]] gross ==

It is highly unlikely that Yajamana actually grossed 42 crores (somebody even removed the citation that was present for the same). The earlier reference was to some book, and the grammar in the page in which the dubious figure was mentioned, makes me apprehensive about the reliability of the book. No other source mentions the number and it should probably be removed from the Highest Kannada movies list.
