Yeah but IBTimes took the reference from Forbes. Forbes mentioned it like "earned 130 crores" they din't mention the word box office anywhere. As we have clearly discussed that the box office collection is what is taken into account. That 130 crore for Veeram is based on a huge confusion caused by Forbes which is Inclusive of Satellite Rights. Thus, I suggest you to update the list to ^[1]. Again to you're clarity Veeram 130 crores is inclusive of the satellite rights and distributor share, without it Veeram just minted 77.5 crores at the Box Office as the film ran for very few days as it shared screens with Jilla. There is a difference between earned and Grossed. Inclusive of all shares and rights the film earned 132 crores that's what Forbes told and Forbes article was not focused on Veeram Collection but on the top 100 celeb list on India. Ashikvc (talk) 14:27, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I don't see on the Forbes source where it specifies the earnings as inclusive of satellite rights. Do you have a link to a different Forbes reference that states this? I also do not see on the IBTimes slideshow that the gross figures are not inclusive of satellite rights. If you can find reliable sources for each film that clearly discern between pure box office and total gross, will reconsider Cannolis (talk) 16:18, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Already done Someone has already taken care of this. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:36, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We need to establish the scope of "highest-grossing", that is, the specific cut-off for inclusion. Are we going by the top 10 in each language? We have 1 Bengali, 10 Hindi films, 11 Kannada films, 11 Malayalam, 9 Marathi, 13 Tamil, etc. The second thing we need to establish, is what the scope is for the summary box at the top of the article. Currently we have 20 examples. Also, since Hindi is almost always going to dominate this table, is it worth including? TheRedPenOfDoom, Bhuvannalla, thoughts? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:06, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I say top ten on each one with top being 15 I'd guess. It may just be easier to do an RFC and get votes across the board. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 11:47, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's implied that the grosses are for all versions of the films (dubbed I mean). That seems to be way the other highest-grossing film articles work and for the top films here, that's the implication at least (I don't see any evidence that for example PK isn't including the Mandarin dubbing numbers). For a few, it looks like we only have the gross for the Tamil version which is incomplete but if that's what we have, it's what we have. For those, I put it as a note as it's not really that importance enough to change the charts, it's just an indication that the chart listing is the best source we have. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:32, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should we include Sholay in the tables? A separate adjusted for inflation table? The 300 crore total wouldn't even be in the Hindi table at the moment and would be just above Enthiran and I think we'd be better served with older films adjusted for inflation if we have the numbers. It would really be a better representative sample of the top films of all time rather than just a listing here of current films (which I really doubt at what people would consider the "top" films of all time). If we do a separate table, it wouldn't be too hard, we can just use Template:INRConvert with the year parameter which would do its own adjustments (Sholay wouldn't do that as the sources provide a current estimate). -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:02, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have much faith in the INRConvert template. I've compared some of its results to online inflation calculators, and it's been off by a significant margin. For instance:

₹150 million (equivalent to ₹4.2 billion or US$50 million in 2023)

vs when I run it here I get 2,791,694,219.79

On the other hand, I don't know how much I trust the online inflation calcuators either.

When I run it here, I get 2,875,288,729.20

Anyhow, since we know that all the box values are estimates anyway, I don't know what value we're getting by adjusting estimates for inflation. Seems like we're inviting more Indian cinema box office headaches. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:24, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
