== Toilet ek Prem Katha should be in top 25 highest grossing Indian films ==

While toilet ek Prem Katha wiki page shows it has grossed more than 300cr. Then, why it's not placed in top 25 highest grossing indian films. It should firstly be ranked in top 25 then it should be ranked above Raees. [[User:Vikram jha18|Vikram jha18]] ([[User talk:Vikram jha18|talk]]) 04:51, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

:::The page costs the same whether the director and studio are there or not, so "occupy a lot of space" can't alone justify their removal.

== Dangal's China Gross ==

The given [http://english.entgroup.cn/boxoffice/cn/Default.aspx?week=956 source] for ''Dangal's'' China gross does not seem to [http://prntscr.com/k3kcge work]. So, a new source is needed. Maybe [https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/10/14/no-hollywood-film-has-topped-dangal-in-china-since-may-but-transformers-5/#2bc9aba198b9 this] can be used. ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 5:36, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Or a better way would be to get the Chinese gross in CN¥ and convert it to INR. As per this [http://www.cbooo.cn/Alltimedomestic report] from EntGroup, Dangal(released as Wrestle! Father) grossed CN¥1.29912 billion in China(equivalent to {{INR}}1,218.46 crore[https://www.currency-converter.org.uk/currency-rates/historical/table/CNY-INR.html]) ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 7:29, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

:Generally speaking, I really question Forbes contributor Rob Cain's claims. It's totally unclear what makes this guy some kind of savant for Indian film financials, especially when he's the only guy making the more grandiose claims that the rest of the industry doesn't seem comfortable to report when the chips are down. My skepticism is heightened when Forbes itself bears a disclaimer "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own", which is something other experienced editors have noted. Is he just a random blogger?

:''[[:Kabali (film)|Kabali]]'' (July 2016 release) is one of my favorite examples of financial hype gone awry for a film. Producers (and shitty reporting from Indian Express. Financial Express, and the rest of Express Group) were claiming that the film had a ''box office gross'' of {{INR}}600+ crore, even though it was well documented that the film had ''pre-release transactions of satellite and music rights sales'' totaling about 200 crore, which would have brought the ''box office figures'' down to (at most) {{INR}}400 crore. Genuine skepticism from [http://www.firstpost.com/bollywood/rajinikanth-kabali-has-earned-rs-600-crore-at-the-global-box-office-or-has-it-2932578.html Firstpost] and [http://www.ibtimes.co.in/kabali-box-office-collection-reports-rajinikanth-starrer-raking-rs-675-crore-13-days-are-fake-688881 IBT] lowered these figures to about 300 crore early on. In 2017, long after the rush died down, [http://www.ibtimes.co.in/mersal-12-days-box-office-collection-crowning-vijay-film-joins-rs-200-crore-club-2nd-weekend-747432 IBT] put their estimated gross total for Kabali at about {{INR}}286 crore, yet [https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/05/11/armies-of-ajith-fans-mobilize-to-blast-vivegam-teaser-to-record-views/ Forbes Contributor Rob Cain], whose opinions are his own, pushed an almost 500 crore figure as his authoritative take on the mess of financial information in May 2017, which we kind of have to report to this day, since as a group we haven't yet dug into whether or not we think this guy knows what he's talking about. I think we should start questioning him. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 08:32, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

::I'm not sure whether his claims are correct. But one thing that concerns me is how the worldwide box office grosses of ''Dangal'' and ''Baahubali 2'' have been calculated here. By using this method, we are increasing the error rates of the grosses. Besides, ''Danagl's'' grosses in India, Taiwan, Hong Kong and "Other Territories" have been obtained from Rob Cain's article. There was a [https://www.ibtimes.co.in/akshay-kumars-toilet-ek-prem-katha-beats-salman-khans-bajrangi-bhaijaan-china-heres-how-771346 report] on IBT which stated that ''Dangal's'' global gross was {{INR}}1979.12 crore by June 2018. ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 9:24, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

:That's odd. Not sure what happened to the link, but EntGroup was reporting $216 million in China last I checked. Now that the link is gone down though, you could take the CNY gross and convert it according to 2017 exchange rates. Using the average 2017 [https://www.ofx.com/en-us/forex-news/historical-exchange-rates/ OFX] exchange rates of 6.7568 CNY/USD and 65.11 INR/USD, ¥1299.12 million converts to $192.3 million and {{INR|1252 crore}}. Oddly, OFX was previously reporting the Chinese exchange rate as about 6.4 CNY/USD average for 2017, which resulted in a converted gross of over 1300 crore, but with the updated exchange rate of 6.7568 CNY/USD, the converted gross now comes to 1252 crore. As for worldwide gross, as mentioned in the article, most sources give the total as over 2000 crore, with some going up to 2100-2200 crore (including [http://www.ibtimes.sg/rajinikanths-2-0-set-rock-10000-screens-japan-singapore-malaysia-uae-us-more-24505 IB Times] which reported 2100 crore in February 2018). Either way, doing the math, the worldwide total comes up to around 2000-2100 crore. [[User:Maestro2016|Maestro2016]] ([[User talk:Maestro2016|talk]]) 21:01, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

::But converting the gross to INR directly from CNY would give a lower error rate than converting it to USD from CNY and then converting it to INR from USD. So I suggest direct conversion.

::Besides that report from IBT in February looks like they have taken all the values from Wikipedia. ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 2:50, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

::And also, as per the same [http://www.cbooo.cn/Alltimedomestic report] from EntGroup, Secret Superstar grossed CN¥746.76 million in China, which is roughly equivalent to {{INR}}750 crore.[https://www.currency-converter.org.uk/currency-rates/historical/table/CNY-INR.html]. ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 4:41, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

:::[[OFX (company)|OFX]] doesn't have a direct exchange rate from CNY to INR. Converting CNY-USD then USD-INR is pretty much the same thing as converting CNY-INR. Also, the exchange site you're using seems to only give daily exchange rates, rather than monthly or annual averages (which is what OFX does), so I think [https://www.ofx.com/en-us/forex-news/historical-exchange-rates/ OFX] is a better source to use. As for Secret Superstar, we already have a direct USD figure from EntGroup, so a CNY conversion isn't necessary in this case. [[User:Maestro2016|Maestro2016]] ([[User talk:Maestro2016|talk]]) 11:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

::::[[OFX (company)|OFX]] doesn't have to be our only source for yearly exchange rates. As per this [http://fxtop.com/en/historical-exchange-rates.php?A=1&C1=CNY&C2=INR&YA=1&DD1=01&MM1=01&YYYY1=2017&B=1&P=&I=1&DD2=31&MM2=12&YYYY2=2017&btnOK=Go%21 source], the average exchange rate for CNY-INR was {{INR}}9.638 per CN¥ for 2017. In this case, that gives {{INR}}1,252.09 crore which is nearly close to the value you got from double conversion, but direct conversion is still a more reliable method for converting gross to INR. Besides, I don't trust the values given by EntGroup in USD. For example, the gross that they had given for Dangal was $216 million({{INR}}1,400 crore), which is higher than what was given by many other sources[https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/10/14/no-hollywood-film-has-topped-dangal-in-china-since-may-but-transformers-5/#2bc9aba198b9] [http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=dangal.htm][https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/30/world/asia/china-india-dangal-bollywood.html][https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/dangals-china-box-office-collection-at-rs-1200-crore-aamir-khan-film-to-enter-2000-crore-club-3731523.html][https://www.ibtimes.co.in/akshay-kumars-toilet-ek-prem-katha-beats-salman-khans-bajrangi-bhaijaan-china-heres-how-771346] and the one you obtained from CNY. And if you try converting ''Secret Superstar's'' CN¥746.76 million in China using the average exchange rate for the first three months of 2018, you'll get {{INR}}756.08 crore.[http://fxtop.com/en/historical-exchange-rates.php?A=1&C1=CNY&C2=INR&YA=1&DD1=01&MM1=01&YYYY1=2018&B=1&P=&I=1&DD2=31&MM2=03&YYYY2=2018&btnOK=Go%21] ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 12:44, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

:::::The thing is that the currency exchange rate seems to change. A few months ago, the CNY-USD average for 2017 was 6.4 CNY/USD, which resulted in 1300-something crore. But in the last few months, the CNY-USD average for 2017 suddenly changed to over 6.7 CNY/USD, which now lowers Dangal's China gross down to 1252 crore. It seems the issues surrounding China gross figures is that the currency exchange rates are not consistent. In Superstar's case, we could give an average gross between EntGroup's $124M conversion (810cr) and the manual conversion you gave above (¥746.76M to 756.08cr).

::::::If you take up Entgroup's individual reports of ''Secret Superstar''(CNY746.76 million and US$124.4 million) and ''Dangal''(CNY1,299.12 million and US$216 million), you fill find that in both cases the conversion rate that they have used is very close to 6 CNY/USD which is a rate that hasn't been seen since 2014. So I think that they're using the wrong conversion rate. This is not limited to Indian films alone, I have even seen Entgroup give such singificantly inaccurate conversions for Hollywood films. So I think it will be better to obtain the gross in INR from their CNY figures. ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 16:20, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

:::::::I've noticed that EntGroup's weekly charts generally give a higher gross than the daily charts (Secret Superstar was $117 million on its last daily chart appearance, yet $124 million on its last weekly chart appearance). From what I understand about the China box office, there are two different gross figures, with TP (ticketing prices) and without TP. So the higher gross figures given on EntGroup's weekly charts may be with TP and the lower figures on their daily charts may be without TP. It seems with-TP and without-TP figures appear to be China's equivalent of India's gross and nett figures. [[User:Maestro2016|Maestro2016]] ([[User talk:Maestro2016|talk]]) 21:44, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

::::::::To avoid this problem, we can convert directly from CNY to INR, which will also give a more accurate result. ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 2:42 9 July 2018 (UTC)

:::::::::The CNY amount given is usually the without-TP amount, which is nearly the same as the without-TP amount in USD that EntGroup gives on its daily charts (i.e. $196M for Dangal and $117M for Superstar). If EntGroup gives the USD amount, then the CNY amount isn't necessary. The secondary currency for this article is USD, so USD figures should be prioritized over CNY figures. For Dangal, the article currently uses its without-TP amount (since the link for its with-TP amount is now broken). In Superstar's case, the issue is whether to use its higher with-TP amount ($124M) or lower without-TP amount ($117M).
