Hello, I'm Tevar shaa. I wanted to let you know that According to reports at that time, #Mungarumale was the first film to touch ₹50 crore and even within 300 days See this.^[1] And ran for 1 year continuously in PVR with packed houses. And went on to run over 865 days and raked over ₹75 crore in its life time in #Karnataka. ^[2][3]

Actually the the Mungarumale collection is not announced by any primary sources like producer/actor/director/distributors, it is by critic, named C.H. Prahlada Rao, who told to "DNA" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tevar shaa (talk • contribs)

Not done: As mentioned in the edit summary, the most recent figure from International Business Times (IBT) puts Kabali's final worldwide gross at ₹286 crore in October 2017. IBT is the more reliable source according to ICTF FAQ, and IBT gives the most recent figure. And as mentioned on Kabali (film), higher estimates are inflated according to IBT. Maestro2016 (talk) 06:59, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Maestro2016: There is no "more reliable" here, with the exception being that I'm not a fan of Express Group (Financial Express / Indian Express), because they did a really piss-poor job of reporting the financial data, including "pre-release income" in the box office figures. They were complicit in the confusion and questionable data. 286 crore seems low if we consider Forbes put the figure higher than what Express Group was reporting. That said, if IBT is reporting a far lower worldwide gross, then the data should be presented in the form of a range as it was in this version of the article, i.e. from 286 crore to 499 crore. I'm unclear on why the range disappeared. If there is a wide discrepancy of opinion we should usually err on the side of ranges, rather than using either higher or lower absolutes. And in the table, it should be ranked based on the low number, since we know that it grossed at least 286 crore. There used to be a citation note that explained why the data was being presented in the form of a range. I'm not sure why it disappeared, but it presents necessary context and should be restored.

We can see Hindi movie gross collections are getting increased with some sources and Telugu and Tamil movie collections are getting decreased with some other sources even if some sources showing higher collections. Everyone in India knows that Baahubali - The Beginning is the fourth highest grossing movie in India but it got relegated. Similarly, collections of Baahubali - The Conclusion are also got reduced. It is strategic demeaning of regional cinema. Please restore the original list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.49.82.85 (talk) 02:57, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was lowered because later reports from the same source (IB Times) lowered the film's final worldwide estimate. However, I've found a more recent IB Times report that increased its estimate slightly, which would put it back into the top 5. Maestro2016 (talk) 13:58, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@PuliMurugan: The source of the content is the film's director. We don't use primary sources for controversial content, since a director would have every reason to inflate financial figures, and (big surprise) there is a lot of lying in the world of Indian cinema financials. We use sources that provide independent verification. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:58, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But then how will any movies box office collection be known? Most of the movies like Bahubali are known to everyone by the producer or someone else on how much the movie makes at boxoffice.

Wait, wait, I'm really confused here. Do both of you live in a mindset where you're unaware of the well-known corruption in Indian film finances? Is that a shocking mystery to you? Because it's certainly not a mystery to me, and I am an outsider who has zero passion for any Indian film. But if you're both aware that Indian film finances are untrustworthy, there's no excuse for asserting that this data, as confirmed by the producers, is the true information. Even Muhammed.suhail's post of this reference says, "Now we hear that the film has also entered the 50 crores club. 'Ramaleela' is Dileep's second movie after 'Two Countries,' reportedly, to enter the 50 crores club." This is a cautious tip-toeing around information that was leaked to them. This isn't an independent confirmation. Do you believe the producers of Kabali who tried to generate hype that the film made ₹600 crore? Are you comfortable swallowing that data? If not, then please stop trying to republish rumours and producer claims as incontrovertible fact. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:21, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
