 Not done IMDB and iluvcinema are not reliable sources and the ibtimes article you cite, which is a reliable source, states 124 crore - so it does not make the top 10.

In this edit I reverted changes made by Bhuvannalla. I'm not clear on how andhraboxoffice.com qualifies as a reliable source, as it strikes me as yet another faceless blog run by anonymous people. How exactly does it satisfy WP:UGC? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:11, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Andhraboxoffice.com can be considered as an authentic website for Telugu movies. Most of the reliable sources such as IBTimes, TimesOfIndia, IndianExpress take reference from Andhraboxoffice.com. It gathers information from film producers and distributors. Even though some reliable sources, that Wikipedia uses as reference, exaggerate the gross collections of certain films, Andhraboxoffice.com gives the exact figures. For Sarainodu, here is the standard source showing that the movie has collected Rs. 101 crores. http://www.ibtimes.co.in/sarainodu-sarrainodu-17-day-box-office-collection-allu-arjun-starrer-crosses-rs-100-crore-678046 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhuvannalla (talk • contribs) 19:05, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What is your metric for determining "authentic"? The quality of Indian journalism is poor, and if your argument is that the entertainment sections of these sources are quoting Andhra without vetting the accuracy yourself, I'm not sure that's your strongest argument. And again, the site is a blog and there is no clear indication of who is behind it or what makes the people who run the site experts in the field. How do you plan to establish that it doesn't constitute user-generated content? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:49, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See the sourcing and discussion from Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force. It was discussed last in October 2014 and the page itself was deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andhra Box Office. If someone thinks it is notable now, we can discuss it again but I see no evidence that the website has substantively improved to a level to indicate reliability. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:08, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ricky. Since this discussion may be archived one day, for historical accuracy, I wanted to clarify one point from my comment above: I don't think that all Indian journalism is bad, but there are a lot of bad examples out there, and a lot of people who run fly-by-night sites that adhere to zero traditional journalistic standards. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:14, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's in dispute. That's the Indian film board has found some websites are reliable sources and others as not. The important thing is that there is consistency and we don't need to rehash every discussion. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:19, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Sorry, we don't use primary sources for controversial information like financial details. Directors, producers, actors, promoters all have a vested interest in inflating or deflating these numbers, depending on what their financial goals are. (Inflating numbers might make the film more attractive to people who want to be part of the spectacle, deflating numbers might make the production company less liable for entertainment taxes, etc.) We're only interested in what reliable secondary sources (no blogs, no IMDb) have to say about the data.

Last year, there was a big hue and cry in wikipedia discussion when Baahublai was listed as a Tamil movie (to be specific Kollywood industry) although the production house is based in Hyderabad and the director-hero are popular only with Telugu audience (the main actresses are known in both Telugu and Tamil movie industries, however). The film was made in Tamil too and hence Baahubali was given a shared status of Tamil and Telugu by moderators. But as many pointed out this idea of just making a movie in a language does not necessarily mean the movie belongs to that specific movie industry. One must take into account various other factors like - production house location, director, actor etc. The moderators who are usually ignorant of the nuances of differences about Indian movie industries, stick to some notions that may be sensible elsewhere, but not in India where a director-actor association with a specific movie industry is pretty strong. During the last year's discussion, one of the commentators who insisted on Baahubali being only a Telugu film (or to be specific Tollywood industry), predicted that Baahubali would not be nominated for any award in Tamil. Lo and behold, his/her prediction came true: Baahubali has not been represented at all in Tamil Filmfare nomination for 2016. Of course the argument would be given that perhaps Baahubali was not worth for any award in Tamil movie industry - but I think a better argument is they didn't even consider it to be a Tamil film to begin with. So if Filmfare, which is officially the "Oscars" for India, along with most of the Indian audience who have good knowledge of Indian movie industry rightfully treat Baahubali as only Telugu film, why do moderators here think differently? I am surprised that someone can be a moderator on wikipedia without much understanding of the field upon which they are moderating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.147.191.11 (talk) 13:37, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus has already been reached on this issue, and the decision was arrived at by regular editors, not by "moderators". You can thank the dishonest editors who resorted to antics like sockpuppetry for polluting the conversation with their petulant behavior. Nowhere else but in Indian cinema articles do we find this drive to attribute a film to an ethnic industry rather than uncontroversially indicating the languages the film was recorded in. Tollywood is clearly indicated in the main article. This list article is focused on the highest grossing films of India organized by language, not by ethnic film industry.
