== 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)

== Aamir Khan and Salman Khan Should Be Mentioned in the Introduction section of Global gross figures ==

In the List of 25 Movies Salman Khan and Aamir Khan have the most Movies. Salman Khan has 6 and Aamir Khan Has 5 Of which 4 Aamir Khan Movies are in the top 10 and 3 Salman Khan Movies are in the Top. The Two Actors definitely deserve a special mention in the introductions of the Section Global gross figures. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Birsanagarwala|Birsanagarwala]] ([[User talk:Birsanagarwala#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Birsanagarwala|contribs]]) 09:32, 22 June 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Do the names of the directors and studios have to be mentioned in the lists. If yes, why? ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 7:32, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
:There's no mandate, but there's also no prohibition. The tables have been formatted this way for several years. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 15:14, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
::The thing is, those two columns seem to occupy a lot of space and can be removed if they are not very important. I know that they have been there for a long time, but that alone cannot justify their presence there. ~[[User:Rajan51|Rajan51]]([[User talk:Rajan51|talk]]) 16:31, 5 July 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. It's not like we're going to use that freed-up space for ads or something. I would imagine someone might find it interesting to see which studios/directors appear the most in the various tables, but I don't presently have a strong opinion. [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 01:58, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

:::::Do we normally remove content to make it easier for mobile phone viewers? That's not actually something I've ever heard of. It would seem that if content is useful for all, it's also useful for mobile viewers. Where else would they get this information? They'd have to search each article independently and take notes? Doesn't that actually seem like ''more'' of a hassle? Again, I don't presently have a strong opinion, but I feel it's my obligation to present counter-arguments to "it's taking up space". [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 05:40, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

== 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.

: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).

:::[[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.

:::::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). [[User:Maestro2016|Maestro2016]] ([[User talk:Maestro2016|talk]]) 14:07, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

::::::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)

:::::::::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).

Besides, as per this [http://english.entgroup.cn/boxoffice/cn/Default.aspx?week=989 report] from Entgroup, Secret Superstar's total gross is $106 million, and it is the same week as the other report being currently used.

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.

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).

* 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. Note [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=October_%282018_film%29&type=revision&diff=823609048&oldid=821898056 this 2 February 2018] edit. A recurring vandal added his name, Komail Shayan, to the list of musicians involved. This was later picked up by Firstpost [https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/october-teaser-varun-dhawan-banita-sandhu-take-us-on-an-intimate-journey-of-life-and-relationships-4350827.html on 14 February 2018]. 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.

:::I want to be clear that I'm not suggesting we toss out all financial figures, especially for South Indian movies, just that we don't get insane about all of the reported figures, and as a greater goal, that we don't start treating all reported figures as gospel and start creating new content that doesn't agree with what any of the other individual sources say.

:{{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.

:{{ping|Mollywood.lover}} Are there any other reliable sources that claim this amount was grossed, or are we supposed to go with the source that reports the highest figures? Because I'm sure you know that Indian film financial figures are largely estimates that fluctuate depending on who's reporting them, what their agenda is, who's paying them, and a variety of other factors. Should we always go with the highest-reported values, or just in this scenario? [[User:Cyphoidbomb|Cyphoidbomb]] ([[User talk:Cyphoidbomb|talk]]) 05:05, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Move the heading "Opening day gross collection" to the top, maybe just below the "Highest grossing films" so that it's easily noticeable. I think such a significant information should be at the top where it's easily accessible and you don't have to scroll down to the bottom.
