In terms of celebrating the birthday of my article of over 1 month, and you remove my article with no reaction. I reposte my article...

A source for both Vijay starrer, Theri and Thuppaki. To prove, that catchnews.com is a realible source, i pick up some statements of the article, and proved the statements with some reliable sources.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160610123456/http://www.catchnews.com/regional-cinema/50-blockbuster-days-for-vijay-theri-all-set-to-emerge-actor-biggest-hit-till-date-ilayathalapathy-vijay-theri-latest-box-office-news-1464936262.html

In the article they said: "The Ilayathalapathy-starrer collected a record-breaking Rs 4 crore at the Chennai Box Office to see the highest four-day opening weekend ever in Chennai."

To prove that statement, indiaglitz reported:" In the capital city Chennai the film has collected a whopping Rs.5.53 crores in its first week."

http://www.indiaglitz.com/vijay-samantha-theri-collects-rs-47-crores-in-tamil-nadu-in-first-week-tamil-news-157283.html

In the article they said: "On it's opening day, Theri collected Rs 29 crore..."

To prove that statement, www.ibtimes.com reported: "Vijay's "Theri" has got a great start at the worldwide box office. The Tamil movie has raked in Rs. 28.96 crore worldwide from over 1200 screens on its first day."

http://www.ibtimes.co.in/theri-worldwide-box-office-collection-vijays-film-shatters-first-day-business-records-674925

In the article they said: "The Ilyathalapathy-starrer has also crossed the coveted Rs 100 crore in just six days..."

To prove that statement, www.ibtimes.co and indiaglitz.com reported the same.

http://www.indiaglitz.com/vijay-samantha-theri-collects-100-crores-in-just-six-days-tamil-news-157353.html

In the article they said: "Theri was a blockbuster in Kerala too as it minted Rs 17.50 crore at the Box Office..."

To prove that statement, today indiaglitz published the gross of Tamil movies in Kerela..

http://www.indiaglitz.com/vijay-theri-rajini-kabali-suriya-24-vikram-iru-mugan-kerala-box-office-collections-tamil-news-167556.html

Please update Theri and Thuppaki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:80:C50C:C401:25F3:F9F1:4E15:F17F (talk) 08:58, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re: this edit by Ananth sk who resubmitted content after it was challenged by Charles Turing, I think it's a bad idea to use slideshows like this as references. Slideshows aren't really journalistic articles and are almost certainly assembled by interns and lesser staff, not necessarily by reporters. Another thing to consider is that just because a number is higher doesn't mean that it's any more accurate than the last number that was there. They're both estimates. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:22, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I resubmitted the content after it was challenged by Charles Turing because all the three references stated that the the collection of the movie was above 60 crore and one among them specifies it to be 63. If slideshows like this as mentioned above are not reliable resources to be used as references, please ignore the change that I made. Apologies for that edit . Ananth Sk (talk) 5:30 , 1st November 2016 (UTC)

Not only about the slideshow, some sources states that it collected 60 cr, and some other says it to be over 60. All these are just estimates. There are always some odd sources for every film that states a different figure. For Premam I have came across such sources which cites 63cr, 67cr and even 75 cr, but haven't seen another single source supporting it, and sometimes contradicts themselves in another report. See this source for Drishyam from The Economic Times, it says "According to various traders' estimates, Drishyam was the first Malayalam film to collect Rs 100 crore at the box office..." - this is another example. Without fact checking, If we are citing these odd reports then we can easily manipulate any box office figure. Currently Premam is cited with sources from 6 different news agencies that reports an estimated 60 crore worldwide. --Charles Turing (talk) 13:22, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A certain amount of critical thinking is necessary as well, because in some cases, the sources might be reporting the totality of what the film made, including other revenue streams like rights sales, which we would not want to factor into the gross. Gross = box office ticket sales only. It's incumbent upon good editors to treat financial figures with great circumspection, and not make the assumption that simply because a number is higher or newer, that it is more accurate. Estimations are estimations. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:32, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The number 75 doesn't appear in the article and the title from what Google Translate tells me says Pulimurugan "to hit 60 crore" as if it hasn't even crossed that yet. So where does 75 crore come from? Dubious. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:35, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Malayala Manorama,Reporter According to these reports by two leading regional medias, the movie had already grossed 75 crore. Ananth Sk (talk) 06:07, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Baahubali is a Telugu film with Telugu actors,made by Telugus. Baahubali: The Beginning was produced in Tollywood, the center of Telugu language films in India, which is based out of Hyderabad. The film series is touted to be the most expensive in India till date.In February 2011, S. S. Rajamouli announced that he would star Prabhas in his upcoming movie.[14]

-this is from Baahubali's own wiki page. It is not a Tamil movie and should not be in Tamil list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C4:4001:4748:DD9:5334:CD4B:BB3F (talk) 20:11, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
