Why the hell are you not adding Dasavatharam in this list. Because it also grossed $31 millions

Please add Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam in this list, cause dasavatharam also collected $31 millions. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.114.109.110 (talk) 04:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Provide a source. There's already too much game-playing with people just guessing and changing the numbers without explanation. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:32, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's a huge problem on this list when it comes to writing the USD totals. A few films like 3 Idiots were released before the Indian rupee significantly got weaker. The 3 Idiots USD total should be $83 million, which puts it much higher on the other list. And other films released earlier should have adjusted totals as well. Nothing's adjusted in the USD list and that means great error. Also, Enthiran's grossed $71 million.

The ranking is in terms of rupees so while there's a difference in US figures, that doesn't change anything. As to Enthiran's gross, if you can provide a reliable source for that, then update it. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:31, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the figures be expressed in Indian numbering system as opposed to Western numbering system (millions and billions) for the convenience of majority of readers who are likely to visit this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.178.217.152 (talk) 19:45, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly don't know. Wikipedia has a manual of style for this sort of thing so maybe you should ask at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers. I suspect they will advise that you use the Indian system and provide a conversion but it is best to check. Betty Logan (talk) 21:44, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

gross is more confussion. and its not real income because tax is not less

This is the List of highest-grossing Indian films, not the List of highest grossing and netting films. It appears that the standard measurement is Gross with Nett only sometimes being of interest. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:01, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@TheRedPenOfDoom: this is not matter of tittle netting.

• in template net option with gross i prefer for better under standing
• any film succes or not succes

it depends net collection not gross

• nett = total gross - tax
• suppose any film bujet 50 and gross collection 70 and net collection 40. then you take 40 to declear flop not 70

(note: admins dont have any special say. they just have the power to flip some switches according to community standards -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:29, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

the "flop" or "hit" or "super hit" or "average" or "mega flop" or "super colossal block and city and country buster" designations will NOT be included as they are meaningless and purely arbitrary. In addition, such designation on a list of highest grossing is extra meaningless - as the highest grossing films they are all obviously "hits". -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:27, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@TheRedPenOfDoom: now what you want to sayAmt000 (talk)

I do not understand your question. but your suggestion is not going to be implemented unless you show widespread reliable sources focusing on nett as much as they are focused on gross. And that aint gonna happen any time soon. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:29, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@TheRedPenOfDoom: http://www.koimoi.com/box-office-verdict-bollywoods-top-worldwide-grossers/ this is source.

i only suggest add nett with gross as like this link . reason on the top Amt000 (talk) 14:38, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

and you have received your answer. No, 1) it is out of scope of this article and 2) it is not a standard of measurement widely and consistently used by the reliable sources, the sources commonly and widely discuss the gross and occasionally, sometimes, in some circumstances mention nett. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 15:06, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done We only use reliably published sources with a reputation for fact checking, accuracy and editorial oversight. Indian box office claims are notoriously hard to accurately monitor (The biggest national newspaper gave up on its "box office" column because of the difficulties of verifiable estimates due to external pressure and outright fraud) and so only a very few sources are appropriate for such claims. indianmoviestats isnt one of them. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:21, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When the individual language lists were merged here, some of them contained the field of "director" . Is that a field that we should institute for all sections of this article or should we remove it? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 11:59, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say remove it. The table doesn't need to be an unweildly mess of title/language/gross/etc. Source shouldn't even a separate column but just added to the end of gross to me. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:02, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The film Baahubali was shot simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil languages,hence it belongs to both the regions,it would be sensible if baahubali is included in both the highest grossing lists of Telugu and Tamil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Subhakaran91 (talk • contribs) 12:58, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:03, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How can you credit Baahubali to Tamil grossing list. Even Sivaji and Enthiran are Bilingual. In Sivaji entire segments are reshot for the Telugu Audience sake. However it was never credited to Telugu industry. How can you give the credit of Baahubali to Tamil. Especially in the Tamil grossing list, you cannot give the credit to Tamil as the production house is completely based in Hyderabad and produces none other than Telugu films. Just stop taking the credit for work which Tamil nadu has nothing to do with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pradeeps369 (talk • contribs) 23:55, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove Baahubali: The Begining from Tamil Highest grossing list. As Baahubali is predominantly Telugu Film just made in Tamil aswell for the Tax evation in Tamil Nadu.

The chart does not say anything about what industry produced the film, only what languages it was made in. Try looking at the chart headers again - they do not say "Industry", they say "language". I have actually removed Telugu from the entries for Enthiran and I as their Wikipedia articles describe those films as being shot in Tamil and only dubbed in Telugu Cannolis (talk) 00:10, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep major language and not simultaneously shot or dubbed. Makes lot of sense in that way to remove Baahubali from tamil; srikrishnak (talk) 10:39, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, if you go to the Highest grossing Tamil films column, it clearly states the movies are produced in Tamil language in the state of Tamil Nadu near chennai. However Baahubali is produced entirely in the state of Telangana near Hyderabad (barring some small schedules). How can you have Baahubali in Tamil high grossing list. And all said don't you really think it is fair to give the credit to Telugu Industry and eventhough it is simultaneously shot in tamil (beacause of tax evasion), what difference does it make from the dubbed version? Let us just stick to the primary language and avoid any confusion (There are lot of articles stating that). At the same time, even we don't want to take credit for Enthiran or I, inspite of them earning huge revenue from Telugu versions

http://www.filmibeat.com/telugu/news/2015/baahubali-bahubali-10-days-box-office-collections-unstoppable-second-weekend-191241.html http://www.firstpost.com/bollywood/baahubali-untouched-rs-300-cr-in-9-days-while-bajrangi-bhaijaan-makes-rs-100-cr-on-eid-weekend-2351890.html

And you can see from the sites that major share was fetched from Telugu version. you can still find techicalities but how can you really credit Baahubali to Tamil. It is one movie what we are proud of and let us at least enjoy it for that Pradeeps369 (talk) 21:01, 21 July 2015 (UTC) pradeep[reply]

Please go through this article http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/regional/baahubali-success-an-achievement-in-indian-cinema-vijayendra-prasad/ In paragraph 3 it clearly states, it is celebrated as Telugu cinema's biggest success. It is bilingual flick, i agree to that But it is primarly produced by Telugu Film Industry. Why are you guys turning a deaf ear inspite of getting many requests..

And here is one more article which reinforces my arguement http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/baahubali-the-beginning-how-the-battle-epic-is-helping-tollywood-challenge-bollywoods-dominance-over-the-indian-film-industry-10402812.html Title and the 2nd paragarph (Clearly states its a Telugu film)

All of the above articles are from trusted sites Pradeeps369 (talk) 05:05, 22 July 2015 (UTC)Pradeep[reply]

Again, no one cares about the industry but about the languages. As stated at the top of List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films#Highest_grossing_Tamil_films, the films are based primarily but it also includes films produced overseas. No one cares where the film was produced. Adding the separate language was a compromise as the alternate was just to cut them all out and leave it with just the top lists like every other nation does. Sources state both so you having sources that only identify one doesn't change that. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:28, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

why Baahubali movie is added into list of highest Tamil grossing movies in Tamil version it collected only just 35 crores where as in Telugu version alone grossed more than 150 crores it is primarily a Telugu film made simultaneously in Tamil by Telugu cast and crew how could you include a movie which just grossed only 35 crores in Tamil into highest grossing Tamil movies list its absolutely rubbish Padukati raju (talk) 18:33, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Baahubali is mainly a Telugu movie simultaneously shot in other language but why did you mention it as Telugu/Tamil instead of Telugu in the list of highest grossing Indian films. I agree it is made in two languages but it should be mentioned only in Baahubali movie page and not in the above list. what do the other people think whether it is mainly a Telugu movie or from other. they should know from which language or movie industry the movie is made. many movies in the list are released in other languages as well but only for this particular movie you are mentioning in both languages so change it to """TELUGU""" as it is the primary language in which the movie is made 107.167.109.55 (talk) 02:49, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the Global gross figures it should be 20 at all times (currently 21) and 10 each in Hindi, Tamil & Telugu lists. What I am saying is that it should be followed like a fixed rule. Also I suggest that serial numbers be added. It will be easy to know a movie's ranking. What do you all think? Please respond or will go bold otherwise. Thanks. - Jayadevp13 15:19, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

oppose placing rank numbers in the table - doing so requires changing all rows below when a film moves up or down increasing the complexity of nearly every edit for no upside.

I am fine with a 20 overall 10/10/10/10 per language recommendation. (At several points there has been 21 or another not round number when there are 2 films with the same box office for slot 20.) -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:02, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK. You are right about about placing rank numbers in table. It will take a lot of effort. - Jayadevp13 17:02, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Baahubali is a TELUGU film only. It should not be considered as TELUGU/TAMIL as only the the predominant language is considered. In the case both should be considered, note that many other movies like Enthiraan should also be TELUGU/TAMIL. Please change Baahubali language to only TELUGU for consistency. Buddugubaby (talk) 07:27, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It was created in both Tamil and Telugu. How is it consistent to ask that Baahubali be put into Telugu only and Enthiraan be Telugu/Tamil? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:31, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you misunderstand him. He is requesting you change Enthiraan from tamil to Telugu/Tamil, as it was also a billingual film like Baahubali.

Not done: As I responded in one of the plethora of edit requests above, I made that change, as Enthiran and I were not shot simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil like Baahubali was, they were shot in Tamil only and dubbed into Telugu later. It is preposterous to consider these situations the same. Cannolis (talk) 11:30, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Like Baahubali, Enthirran and Sivaji are also billingual films. Change those two films from tamil to telugu/tamil to ensure consistency and fair representation. 122.167.204.98 (talk) 07:49, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
