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]

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]

@Cyphoidbomb Then you tell us how much ramaleela movie collected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PuliMurugan (talk • contribs) 19:46, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It made as much money as independent reliable sources have been able to confirm independently. If that number is not available yet, then we publish nothing. Wikipedia has no deadline. We're not under any obligation to act as shills for the producers by regurgitating their financial claims. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:50, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As you are providing only reliable sources in case of Ezra the source you are provided is not available then how did you add that movie in the List of Malayalam Movies expecting a reliable answer from you sirMuhammed.suhail (talk) 13:43, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Muhammed.suhail: There is something known as dead url, when a url stops working and dies. This is what happened to the Ezra source. Since most of the users around here must have examined the source and confirmed it's reliability for its inclusion in the article, there is no urgency to remove it. It seems to be a Yahoo News source, from the url. About the gross of Ramaleela, an OR Observation: The actor Dileep was arrested prior to the release of the film, so there is probably a lot of inflation of the figures by the producers as a publicity stunt. This was the latest source I could find which did not use director/producer figures. Also, if the film really has crossed 50 crore, there is bound to be a lot of hype in media, with multiple news reports, not blog reports and reliable sources reporting "reports suggest it crossed 55 crore."

Its important to add a column representing the leading star/s of every movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaazan (talk • contribs) 15:47, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Vaazan: Why is that important? And how do we decide who the leading stars are of each movie? What list would we look at for that information? Would we just pick and choose at random? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:31, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: For that reason, why don't we follow the table as listed here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films . When additional information like multiple production houses can be columned, why not have leading actors columned for every movie. It also helps to catalogue the attribution of the financial success of a movie to them, as it is so with most Indian movies. If this doesn't seem logical, then having the columns reduced without director or production house names is also equally logical, like the link I have posted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaazan (talk • contribs) 14:17, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Vaazan: Again, why do we want this information in these tables? And again, how do you determine who the "leading stars" of every movie are? You're proposing a cruft magnet, i.e. yet another block of information that's going to invite indiscriminate additions. Proof: Since editors have already added directors and production houses to the existing tables, that's given you license to suggest yet another column be added. Nobody's going to agree on who the stars are. This is a recurring issue in Indian film articles. Anyway, the simpler the data in this article, the better.

Kabali movie collected more than 950crores approximately. The collection of first 13 days are 650crores, confirmed news by some magazines.

 Not done - @Jahir cer: Your unsourced claim that Kabali grossed over ₹950 crore is absurd. The idiots at Financial Express, posted high claims of up to 677 crore, but when you read the source, it becomes very clear that they've included included pre-release income, which is never factored into box office figures. Box office = money made at the box office, through ticket sales. So even from the perspective of the poor journalists at Express Group, the film grossed 477 crore (215 domestic, 262 international). Since you've brought no references to this discussion about the 950 crore claim, there isn't anything else I can say on the matter. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:50, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
