== Discrepancies in crore:dollar ratios ==

Per {{OTRS ticket|10764636|2018071310003748}}, the dollars to crore ratio is not consistent throughout the films, causing some films with higher sales in crore to show lower sales in dollars, etc. Can someone take a look at normalizing the information presented? - [[User:TheDaveRoss|TheDaveRoss]] ([[User talk:TheDaveRoss|talk]]) 11:52, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

:Yes, you're right, this problem is because of the changing USD - INR exchange rates. You might want to look into previous discussion on this [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force|here]]. ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 13:15, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

== Wikipedia used as source ==

Hey guys, I have noticed that some sources generally considered reliable might obtain data from wikipedia. I'm not 100% sure, but this is what makes me think it might be possible.

* On 15 February 2018, IBTimes published an [http://www.ibtimes.sg/rajinikanths-2-0-set-rock-10000-screens-japan-singapore-malaysia-uae-us-more-24505 article] which is currently used as reference for [[PK]]'s worldwide gross. The article states that Dangal, Secret Superstar, PK and Tiger Zinda Hai had collected Rs. 2,122, Rs. 918, Rs.854 and Rs.560 crore respectively. These figures are exactly identical to what this [[List of highest-grossing Indian films|list]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&diff=825701360&oldid=825656046 contained] on that day. Normally I have observed that different sources give box office estimates which are approximately equal, but rarely match perfectly. In this case the final figures for Dangal, PK and Secret Superstar were calculated by Wikipedian editors from different sources(other than IBT) are are likely to be more inaccurate, and with the article using the same figures, there could be a possibility that the figures could have been taken from Wikipedia.

:Moreover, the calculation of worldwide gross for PK at that time was interesting. The domestic gross of 489 crore was obtained from a [https://bollywoodmoviereview.in/bollywood-200-crores-movies-list/ page] that also said its overseas and worldwide grosses were 303 and 792 crore respectively. And neither of the two sources used are considered reliable as per [[WP:ICTFSOURCES]]. The overseas gross of US$53.4 million was obtained from an earlier [https://www.ibtimes.co.in/baahubali-2-overseas-box-office-collection-rajamoulis-film-beats-chennai-express-kabalis-725036 report] from IBT and converted at the exchange rate of 2016(rather than 2014 or 2015) and the figure obtained in INR(365 crore) was also contradictory to the figure of 303 crore by the source that was used for domestic gross. The overseas grosses for other films too were converted at different exchange rates because of the possibility that IBT could have obtained the USD figures from INR at different exchange rates, as explained [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films/Archive_11#3_Idiots_gross here](I believe it would be better to find another source). The problem was that the calculated gross was higher than the grosses given by other sources[https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/baahubali-2-the-conclusion-bahubali-2-box-office-collection-crosses-rs-1500-crore-mark-dangal-now-at-rs-1200-crores-3457284.html][https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/baahubali-2-beats-pk-s-lifetime-collection-becomes-india-s-top-earner-117050600034_1.html][http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/box-office-special-features/box-office-baahubali-2-beats-aamir-khans-p-k-becomes-highest-worldwide-grosser-indian-film-collecting-close-900-crores/] which were below 800 crore. I suggest we stick to those sources which are reliable and contain total worldwide gross.

* Another instance, which made me think that Wikipedia might be used as a source was [https://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2017/12/20/how-high-can-salmans-tiger-zinda-hai-fly/#38e673341264 Rob Cain's article on Forbes] which uses the same figure as used on Wikipedia on that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films&diff=815974957&oldid=815856144 day].

I don't know how we can tackle this problem of Wikipedia being used as a source but I hope you guys can think of something. ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 11:34, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

:{{ping|Rajan51}} This is quite possible, actually. I know of at least two, somewhat minor incidents when this happened.

There was another example where [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Raees_(film)&diff=prev&oldid=703125868 this plot summary] existed for Raees on 3 February 2016, but was republished [https://web.archive.org/web/20160216154301/http://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/in-pics-shah-rukh-khan-mahira-on-sets-of-raees/story-WlED9mrDXJ7wHaSxKzx2oJ.html by Hindustan Times] (and a few other sources) verbatim without attribution. Anyway, it would not surprise me in the least if this was widespread--it takes a lot of detective work to suss out, though. Shameful, lazy journalism. This is why I encourage all editors of Indian film articles to be hugely circumspect when dealing with financial figures, as the margin for error is massive, so getting emotionally attached to financial figures is a fool's errand.

The Great Father has collected 50 cr and you didn't listed it. The source is from inuth.com. It is a subset of Indian Express

:{{ping|Mollywood.lover}} If I remember correctly, we didn't list it, because the source of the 50 crore claim for The Great Father was the producers. Inuth doesn't say that, but multiple other sources did, and we can't trust what the producers say, because the producers, and especially their promotional departments, are generally lying about their financial accomplishments to attract more viewers. Also, if you're a fan of Indian Express, you should be aware of the crappy job they did reporting [[:Kabali (film)|Kabali]]'s box office figures, factoring in pre-release income to report super-high numbers, when nobody else ever does that.

~[[Rajan51]]..please answer the question that mollywood lover asked.Pulimuragan's collection has been claimed by tomichan the same producer of Ramaleela...mohanlal declared the same after tomichan published pulimurugan collection through his FB page.The admins considered that as a source and not even bothered whether he claimed it or not.The same producer claimed that pokkiriraja played 25K housefull shows..though I am a mammootty fan,i am not gonna believe that stupidity..if u can consider his say on pulimurugan,Then it should be the same case with other movies as well right?

Or is it like for lal movies one rule and for others other rule?

@[[Cyphoidbomb]]..what is it difficult to understand?The question is very simple.

1.Why you have removed Great father from the top grossing list?Please dont tell that the producer has claimed that for promotion purpose.If that is the case, all movies like Pulimurugan,Oppam,aadhi,Munthiri,Ramaleela has also been claimed by producers.

2.On what basis you put the movie in list?What is the criteria for the same?All non-mammootty movies?If you tell that it will be based on genuine sources like hindu,deccan,manorama etc..tell me where these medias getting the collection?Are they going each theaters and counting money?At the end of day,we have to believe in distributors/producers figure.If producers are telling figures for promotion purpose,why it is not happening for all movies?

Your double standard on mammootty movies are really pathetic dude.. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sagar.kottappuram777|Sagar.kottappuram777]] ([[User talk:Sagar.kottappuram777#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sagar.kottappuram777|contribs]]) 04:56, 20 July 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:{{ping|Sagar.kottappuram777}}The problem for not updating this is that the [https://www.inuth.com/entertainment/malayalam-movies/kerala-box-office-mammootty-the-great-father-emerges-as-the-actors-first-rs-50-cr-blockbuster/ source] that you cited is not consider reliable by [[WP:ICTFSOURCES]] and [[WP:ICTFFAQ]]. As for the other films that you mentioned, their box office figures have been obtained from sources considered reliable by the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force|Indian Cinema Task Force]]. You have to support your claim that these sources have obtained the figures from their producers for us to believe it. ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 07:14, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

:*{{ping|Sagar.kottappuram777}} Though I wouldn't use [https://www.topmovierankings.com/news/mammoottys-the-great-father-enters-the-50-crore-club this site as a reliable source], the poster is indicative of the the promotional campaign the producers of The Great Father were engaging in to promote the 50 crore figure, and that's where some of the lazier sources were getting the information. Since Wikipedia doesn't like to use [[WP:PRIMARY|primary sources]] for controversial claims about the subject, we would be circumspect about the claim, particularly when [https://www.ibtimes.co.in/mammootty-reveals-great-father-fastest-malayalam-movie-cross-rs-20-crore-figure-exaggerated-721917 there are reliable sources] that question whether the film's figures were exaggerated. Surely if reliable sources are questioning the figures, you would want us to scrutinize the content, right? Or do we just blindly publish the figures because the producers printed it a big, blocky, gold font?

:*{{tq|"Are they going each theaters and counting money?"}} Each source has their own proprietary method for determining box office gross, and yes, some outlets have connections with theatres, from which they get rough box office figures, and that they extrapolate into wider estimates. It's an imperfect science, to be sure. Since you have many questions about how the process works, maybe you'd benefit from reading [https://www.livemint.com/Consumer/kSPNxUf87deWBK5lnru0OK/Why-Indian-box-office-collections-depend-on-who-you-ask.html?utm_source=scroll&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=scroll this article] so you have a better sense for how inaccurate these figures can be. Note also that Wikipedia isn't the official keeper of Top 10 highest-grossing Indian films lists. If you have a problem with the way your favorite actor's film financials are being presented, then blame Indian media. Wikipedia only includes content that can be attributed to reliable secondary sources. If those secondary sources lack integrity and are just [[shill]]s for the movie studios, then they're the entire core of the problem. Where is Manorama Online's Top 10 highest grossing Malayalam films of 2017 list? Is The Great Father on it? Does that list agree with other Malayalam news outlets' lists? If not, therein lies the problem.

:*{{tq|"If producers are telling figures for promotion purpose,why it is not happening for all movies?"}} Who said it's not happening for all movies? It happens for many movies. We try to ignore those figures. Case in point: [[Kabali (film)]]. The producers were reeeeeeally trying to get the world to believe that the film had achieved amazing records grossing upwards of 600 crore at the box office--or at least that was the illusion they wanted you to believe. In reality, the studio was lumping in 200 crore of pre-release income into the box office figures, and complicit sources like Financial Express/Indian Express were regurgitating these claims and using poor phrasing and factual omissions to perpetuate the confusion. Did we blindly publish those numbers? No. We questioned them. And now we have a more realistic range for their actual box office figures. (Although I still suspect Rob Cain is a promotional shill.)

:*{{tq|"All mohanlal movie collections are being declared by producer and then comes on medias.."}} Please provide evidence that the majority of movie collections for Mohanlal films are declared by the producer first, then republished by the media. I'll wait while you collect your proof.

:*{{tq|"Only for Mammootty movies this is happening"}} Patently false. See Kabali example above. There are others, like Mungaru Male, where the lead actor [http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report-ganesh-bal-the-outsider-on-the-inside-1678970 claimed a 75 crore gross], when most of the other outlets were comfortable with 50 crore estimates. I'm not going to dig through the entire history of Indian film edits to disprove your baseless claim.

:* {{tq|"Your double standard on mammootty movies are really pathetic dude"}} The double-standard exists entirely in your own mind. You have a point of view about The Great Father and how unfair it is that it's not receiving the financial recognition that you think it deserves. Yet you've provided '''zero proof''' that any other box office figure originated from a [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]], or that they have been artificially inflated or that the figures have been otherwise disputed in the media. Thus, I can only conclude that your position is entirely emotional, not based on facts. If you have facts, bring facts. I can't do anything with "this is so unfair, it only happens to Mammootty, how come it never happens to Mohanlal?" arguments.

@[[Cyphoidbomb]]..Dude...We don't need your emotional speech in eassay to glorify lal and his movies...please make it precise ...

1.Dont act too dump saying proof for lal's producers claim the collection first and then media publishes..

It is very simple...just go and check Tomichan mulakupadam,Antony perumbavoor and Sofia pauls page to see the posters saying 50 crore,100 crore and 125 crore...If u r genuine ,I hope u know how to use facebook and u can easily find out..

What more..u jts visit,mohanlal's page to see the actor himself claimed these collections...

But as I said,u shuld be genuine..:)..unfortunately not..

And FYI,this trend has been started from Oppam and Drisyam time by lal and Antony and then other follows the same.

2.Still not able to understand the aunthenticity of sources like catch news...:)..u put for Oppam...If u consider manorama as a source,i can give you the link saying that Great father collected 50 crore...but again u will tell that,in that it is mentioned that producer claimed the same...:)

3.Also listen...wiki is not the end of the world and people uses it very well understand it..the reason why I am protesting is,atleast people visit this page can understand the double standard....

Hope if mammootty get an award next year and if he tell that I got an award,as per your logic u will claim that,since mammootty first told in his page that he got an award,we cannot consider that as a source...bcos..ur excuses are as childish as this....:)

If u have the guts,just tell the name of other admins who handle this page...if not just pity on u...grow up dude..

:{{ping|Sagar.kottappuram777}} Re: your point #1, I don't understand what you are trying to say, but I'm not going to do your research for you. You made a baseless claim, so the burden is yours to prove it, not for me to. Also, we should be talking about films that appear on this list article, not elsewhere in the encyclopedia. Re: point #3 as clearly explained above, there is no double standard. If garbage references are used for Mohanlal films we will ignore those too. Feel free to bring that up in a different discussion. As for your request {{tq|"just tell the name of other admins who handle this page"}} There are no admins who "handle this page", at least not in the way I think you mean. Any administrator is welcome to watch this article, but no administrators are ''assigned'' articles, and there is no list that I can refer to that will tell me what administrators are watching this article. So, unfortunately for you, there's no way for me to answer your question. But it's a moot point anyway, as any other [[WP:AUTOCONFIRMED|autoconfirmed editor]] could make the change if there were consensus to do so. Unfortunately, there is no consensus to do so just yet. Lastly, if you don't like essay responses, don't ask so many questions next time. I have a lot of information that ''could'' be of help to you, but if your goal is to just ignore it all and say "what about this, what about this, what about this", ultimately that's a waste of everybody's time.

@[[Cyphoidbomb]]..Why are you contradicting your statement?..:)

Did'nt you ask me the proof for lal movie being declared by producer?For that when i replied you to check the producer's FB page,you are telling you dont have time to research.You have time to check the sources put by others to check the credibility and you dont have time when i asked.This is what we call double standard.If there is option here to put the screenshot/picture,i can give the proof.Otherwise I can give the link of their FB page.If I put,can you check their pages?

I am talking about movies listed in this page only and not outside.Can you tell me the name of one movie which i mention that is not listed in this page?

Oppam is the 3rd highest grosser in this page...lol(even the producer shocked by seeing this)...the source for that is Catchnews..even pulimurugan,aadhi,munthirivallikal..all listed in this page..what is wrong with this..?

If no admin handle this page...just mention some non malayali admin who can check our concern other than you.Let me see whether that person can understand what we say. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sagar.kottappuram777|Sagar.kottappuram777]] ([[User talk:Sagar.kottappuram777#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sagar.kottappuram777|contribs]]) 07:24, 25 July 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

If you see the list it contain most of top grossing malayalam movies in this page..Munthirivallikal,Ramaleela,Ezra etc..they have included Great father as well in the list.That is just below Munthirivallikal and above Ezra..:)..But you are telling Ramaleela,Munthiri and Ezra is fine..but not great father..:)..what logic is that dude?

One more thing,If you see the details of Ramaleela in above list,it is clearly mentioned that makers are revealed..:)..but you are not considering that...

Only for mammootty movies,if makes revealed ,that cannot be considered as genuine..not for others..:)

I know there is no point of telling you this..But still I will keep on putting these kind of sources so that atleast people seeing this will be able to understand..

Lastly..just erase all the discussion we had from you mind and check the above source as a normal person who doesnt have any spl interest towards an actor..you will understand what i meant.. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sagar.kottappuram777|Sagar.kottappuram777]] ([[User talk:Sagar.kottappuram777#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sagar.kottappuram777|contribs]]) 07:37, 25 July 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:For the claim that the trend started with ''Oppam'' and ''Drishyam'', it's a misleading and a fallacious argument as the producer has never published any financial numbers for these films. "What about others" will not work here. First of all, you cannot compare ''The Great Father'' with any other films on the list. Because, the internet sources has only reported what the producers has claimed - the rib-tickling first day collection 4.31 crore, the math-defying 4 days 20 crore claim[https://www.ibtimes.co.in/mammootty-reveals-great-father-fastest-malayalam-movie-cross-rs-20-crore-figure-exaggerated-721917], and the ridiculous 50 crore. There is no single reliable source that has reported any figures other than this. Where are the sources that reports the collection updates that it reached 15 crore or 25, 30 or 40 crore ? For the all other films on the list there are multiple reliable sources that published this step-by-step collection updates. Why did the reliable news medias refused to report ''The Great Father'' gross while they reported others ? It's probably because if published, the collection numbers would not match with the exaggerated numbers projected by the producer, so they don't want that financial discrepancy. Obviously the hardcore fans will not understand this, they are too blind to be reasonable and are busy tagging whoever question their boxoffice numbers as Mohanlal supporter and Mammooty suppressor.

As per the refs that we use now for ''Dangal''[https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/aamir-khan-s-secret-superstar-earns-seven-times-more-money-in-china-in-1-week-than-what-it-did-in-india/story-vxL1FtqQNNdHBty9BSVRQM.html],[https://www.thestatesman.com/entertainment/southern-cinema/baahubali-2-open-7000-screens-china-1502630878.html]&[http://www.ibtimes.sg/rajinikanths-2-0-set-rock-10000-screens-japan-singapore-malaysia-uae-us-more-24505](The third report is flawed as explained [[Talk:List of highest-grossing Indian films#Wikipedia used as source|here]]), it has grossed over 2,000 crore worldwide. But

interestingly, both ''Firstpost''[https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/dangal-vs-baahubali-2-the-conclusion-in-japan-aamir-khans-film-adds-rs-3-cr-to-unrivaled-global-total-4444855.html] and ''IBT''(India)[https://www.ibtimes.co.in/akshay-kumars-toilet-ek-prem-katha-beats-salman-khans-bajrangi-bhaijaan-china-heres-how-771346] reported a total below 2,000 crore. Incidentally, these were the [[Talk:List of highest-grossing Indian films#Dangal's China Gross|only two sources]] which reported realistic figures for ''[[Kabali]]'' and explained why the other sources got it wrong.

:''Dangal''{{'}}s reported gross figures in recent reliable sources range from 1950cr to 2200cr, with most reliable sources reporting over 2000cr. Looking at the regional breakdown, it's clear that Dangal's gross lies between 2000-2100 cr. Sources reporting below 2000cr or above 2100cr could be considered outliers. It might be best to just write 2000 crore+ though. [[User:Maestro2016|Maestro2016]] ([[User talk:Maestro2016|talk]]) 01:31, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
