== 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>

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. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 15:02, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Bahubali is not a tamil film , it is not shot in both languages instead it dubbed into tamil, no point of showing it as a tamil film. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bala Sudheer|Bala Sudheer]] ([[User talk:Bala Sudheer#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bala Sudheer|contribs]]) 08:49, 5 May 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== 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)

::{{ping|Mrkks}} The bulk of the financials for Indian films are based on guesses, rumours, unverified claims, and lies. Establishing definitively that a film from 1960 is one of the highest-grossing films in Indian cinema (adjusted for inflation) would be a monumental feat, and one based almost entirely on conjecture. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 04:18, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

:{{ping|Jayadevp13}} I understand what you are going for with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&diff=778332750&oldid=778321043 the timeline of highest-grossing movies], but I have some questions/notes:

:*How does a reader [[WP:V|verify]] that ''Hum Aapke'' held the #1 spot from 1994 to 2001? While there are references to indicate the individual gross values, where are the references that say "''Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!'' was the highest-grossing Indian film of all time until it was overtaken by ''Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'' in 2001." That specific verified claim is crucial to the list being meaningful in any way, because without those assertions, all there is in the table are a series of meaningless numbers, and we're asking readers to assume that the ''lack of any contrary information'' equates to an indisputable fact.

:*Does Box Office India even chart films that aren't in Hindi? Where is ''Dasavathaaram'' in [https://www.boxofficeindia.com/worldwide-total-gross.php?year=2008 this BOI box breakdown for 2008]?

:*If ''Dasavathaaram'' is missing from ''that'' BOI list, how does a reader know that in all the other years of BOI charts, no Tamil, Telugu, or Malayalam film ever charted as #1? Again, we're asking readers to assume that a lack of contrary information equates to a factual assertion.

:*An example taken from your inspiration [[List of highest-grossing films#Timeline of highest-grossing films]] uses [http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/80025/Jurassic-Park/misc-notes.html this reference], which says explicitly: "[Jurassic Park grossed] $705 million within 115 days of its initial theatrical release, making it the all-time international box office champ. The previous record holder was Spielberg's own "E.T." (USA/1982), which eventually grossed $701 million." That is a clear declarative statement that doesn't leave much room for confusion. It tells us what the previous record was, and it tells us what the new record was. That is the level of clarity required for this list.

:There is a significant lack of information in the Indian version of that table, and these issues would have to be fixed if there's any hope of keeping that list. I also consider this a supremely difficult task, given the lack of centralised auditing of financial figures, as well as the media's tendency to only be interested in films produced in their own language. I have no idea how this can be accomplished. Regards, [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 15:08, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

::{{ping|Cyphoidbomb}} Thank You for taking your time to research about it and write all those points.

::*With regard to your first point, what I thought of (at the time of editing the article) was that people could compare the table with the [[List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films#Highest-grossing_films_by_year|Highest-grossing films by year]] table and see. To elaborate what I mean, the highest-grossing film of 1994 ''Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!'' had grossed {{INR}}127.96 crore and the highest-grossing film of 2001, ''Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'' had grossed around {{INR}}135.53 crore. Between them all the movies had grossed less than the earnings of ''Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!'' in 1994. My belief was that people can infer this from the [[List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films#Highest-grossing_films_by_year|Highest-grossing films by year]] list.

::*No, the website Box Office India doesn't track the earnings of movies which are not in Hindi. You can also see that from the absence of [[Baahubali: The Beginning]] from this [https://www.boxofficeindia.com/worldwide-total-gross.php?year=2015 Top Worldwide Grossers 2015] list. Now this is problem. How to show in the [[List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films#Highest-grossing_films_by_year|Highest-grossing films by year]] table that a particular year's highest grossing movie was not in Hindi.

::*With regard to your fourth point, finding that kind of references will be very tough especially since there is a lack of centralised auditing of financial figures, just like you told. That was the reason I took the ''Highest-grossing films by year'' table as a reference to compare and make a new table (don't know if Wikipedia policies allow it). If it is allowed then we can mention at the start of the section that this table is derived using data from the previous table. I hope you understand what I am trying to convey here.

::What do you suggest I should do now? Should I (or you) remove the list which I created until definite sources can be established? Might be possible for movies which released after 2009 (for example ''3 idiots''). I highly doubt that it is possible for movies which were released earlier. With regards. - [[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>]] 03:47, 3 May 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.

So why is this better? Simple: ''Raajakumara'', ''Doddmane Hudga'', ''Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna'' and ''Uppi 2'' all grossed 40 crore. So it would be completely arbitrary for us to decide that Raajakumara is #4 when Uppi 2 could also be considered #4. By manipulating a film's placement in the old system, we are effectively giving preferential treatment to Raajakumara, by suggesting that it grossed more, and thus needs to be ranked higher. This totally violates [[WP:NPOV]]. What the new system tells readers, is that there were four films that filled the #4, #5, #6 and #7 spots. They just all happened to gross the same. Note also that this change was discussed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films/Archive_9#Odd_numbering here] in February 2017, and so [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]] was established for the change.

::Hopefully this works, though fans of Raajkumara will still try and have their movie as the first among equals. I feel that if the figures are equal, the older movie should be the first among equals, because its easier to gross huge numbers nowadays compared to before thanks to inflation and higher ticker prices.

You are still confused on the evidence people given and still questioning on the evidence we give for the updation of the list.just another stupidity. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Abbas.j63|Abbas.j63]] ([[User talk:Abbas.j63#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abbas.j63|contribs]]) 18:59, 7 May 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

::{{ping|Abbas.j63}} 1) [[WP:NPA|Watch the personal attacks]]. 2) I'm not the one who's confused--I'm well versed on Wikipedia guidelines. We don't use [[WP:PRIMARY|primary sources]] (Directors/actors/producers/distributors/etc.) for controversial claims like a film's finances, because big surprise: these people have every reason to lie. Inflated figures make directors and actors and producers look more attractive. An actor who can brag about his film breaking a financial record is likely to get more work. Same with a director. Not to mention that film companies often inflate figures (''Kabali'' is a prime example) to make the film more attractive to potential viewers, enticing them to be a part of the blockbuster spectacle. This is particularly relevant given the longstanding rivalry between Mammootty and Mohanlal. The producers posting an inflated number makes the film more attractive to Mammootty fans. So it should be fairly obvious why we can't take the producer's claims at face value. We care what reliable published sources that are ''independent'' of the subject have to say. And thankfully, Wikipedia [[WP:NODEADLINE|has no deadline]]. We're not in any hurry to post improperly verified financial figures. Feel free to look at [[WP:ICTF#Guidelines on sources]] for an example of the types of references that are considered reliable, along with ones that are not. (List is not all-inclusive. It's a rough list.) [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 19:20, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

== Highes Grossing Kannada Movies ==

Hello Dear,

I see there is no update for this section of Highest grossing Kannada movies for over a month now. From the sources available on inernet, i see the currently running Movie Raajakumar has dose business in the 75-80 Cr. Also i am sure there is increase in the earnings of Kirik Party, which is still running in the theatres. One of souces i can refer to is IMDB, on which it shows Raajakumara has over taken Mungaaru Male by a distance. I am keen to see the wiki too updated. Could you please do the honours.

Thanks so much!!

Warm Regards

:{{ping|Rajdbangy}} Per [[WP:RS/IMDB]], IMDb is not considered a reliable source. It is [[WP:UGC|user-contributed]]. Please see [[WP:ICTF#Guidelines on sources]] for a general list of the types of sources that are and are not considered reliable.
