http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/regional/rajinikanth-kabali-box-office-collection-rs-650-crore-leaves-salman-khan-sultan-behind/ According to this page Kabali made over 600 crore — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:8040:CA00:133:CF86:F523:33AB (talk) 00:09, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This has been discussed numerous times here, at WP:RSN, at Talk:Kabali (film) and so on. The Indian Express/Financial Express figures were dubious, and both IBT and Firstpost called them fake, noting that the exaggerated totals included satellite rights sales. So far no other reliable sources have addressed numbers that high, and the lack of support speaks volumes. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:55, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The intro paragraph of 'Highest grossing Telugu films' section is apparently an 'imitation' of the intro paragraph of the 'Highest grossing Tamil films'. The Telugu section need not be flooded with details about dubbed releases. Films in every south language have been dubbed into other languages. In case of Telugu cinema, apart from those dubbed 'TV Channel' premieres, films barring Baahubali don't make significant revenue from THEATRICAL dubbed releases.

Pinging PlutoniumBackToTheFuture - I notice that this back-and-forth has been going on for a while. Discussion should have begun at the first revert. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:56, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cyphoidbomb I had reverted just once. The other user was persistently revering (more than twice I guess). Anyway, hope he joins the discussion soon. PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk) 16:25, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. I meant to ping Bhuvannalla, but to address your response, I see several removals from you[1][2][3][4] dating back to November 29, along with several removals from Bhuvannalla. Taking it to the talk page was the right decision, however 1) it should have been done at the first sign of resistance, i.e. after the content was first restored, and 2) it wouldn't have killed anyone if the content remained in the article until the discussion was resolved.

Cyphoidbomb I think it is not worth discussing the matter in talk page. I can show hell lot of dubbed Telugu movies which collect a lot in other languages. Anyhow the matter was standardized long back and PlutoniumBackToTheFuture is creating unnecessary controversies. In fact dubbed Tamil movies won't collect much except in Andhra Pradesh. It is better to retain the matter as it is. Giving examples of recent dubbed Telugu movies which have sizable collections in other languages. Eega (Makhi in Hindi), Baahubali(Bahubali in Hindi), Magadheera (Maveeran in Tamil), Race Gurram (Lucky: The Racer in Malayalam), Janatha Garage (Janatha Garage in Malayalam), RudramaDevi, Sarrainodu, etc. The list is endless. PlutoniumBackToTheFuture is simply comparing Telugu movies with Tamil movies so as to downgrade Telugu movie industry, which both you and I have seen while discussing the matter related to Baahubali. I am reverting the matter as the PlutoniumBackToTheFuture had initiated modifications to a standard version.

There is no bias here. We are talking about the general business here. Not the exceptions. Saagara Sangamam happened 33 years back. Baahubali is a bilingual that happened in 2016. Both films made revenue from dubbed theatrical releases, so did the 1980 film, Sankarabharanam and the 2010 Telugu-Tamil bilingual film Eega. But those are exceptional cases, that have happened in every South Indian film industry. We cannot take these exceptions and imply that this is how the 'regular business' runs. Telugu films predominantly make revenue from their original Telugu theatrical release. There is no point in imitating the Tamil intro, because in case of Tamil cinema, a large part of the revenue of big releases comes from dubbed theatrical releases. By the way Cyphoidbomb, this user is doing blatant reverts without reaching a consensus here. His P.O.V based reverts are exceeding limits. It may not be deliberate, since he may not be aware of the rules here. PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk) 18:25, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
