There has been a proposal to merge

It is highly unlikely that Yajamana actually grossed 42 crores (somebody even removed the citation that was present for the same). The earlier reference was to some book, and the grammar in the page in which the dubious figure was mentioned, makes me apprehensive about the reliability of the book. No other source mentions the number and it should probably be removed from the Highest Kannada movies list. Jupitus Smart 15:53, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Stuff published by Diamond Pocket Books is often very dodgy. The specific instance you mention was briefly referred to in this thread and I did some spot checks at the time that seemed to confirm the book's author was taking info from Wikipedia. - Sitush (talk) 16:16, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

@Sitush: Thanks for the explanation, esteemed colleague. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:24, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

That solves that. Jupitus Smart 17:06, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

The movie is currently 3rd in the Punjabi list. It has 4 references, three of which are from reliable sources which however does not mention the given numbers. The 4th reference is from a blog site called dekhnews [1] which is the source for the number. I don't think the site can be considered reliable. Should the movie be removed from the list.

Please understand that Bahubali is a telugu film , not tamil. Veda chaitanya (talk) 05:45, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Please see the archives discussions of this talk page. If memory serves, the film was shot in both languages (not dubbed into one as is common practice). We treat the film as both Tamil and Telugu. EvergreenFir (talk) 06:01, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

It should be a "Telugu" film or "Telugu,Tamil and Hindi", but why it is showcased as "Telegu & Tamil" film? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.51.129.221 (talk) 15:15, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

There is no ampersand (&) between Telugu and Tamil in the article, so your quotation is not representative of what the article says. "Telugu,Tamil and Hindi" would not be appropriate, since the movie was not filmed in Hindi. It was filmed in Telugu and Tamil, though. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:13, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

With the above explanation and references that I found later, I now accept Bahubali as a "Telugu and Tamil" movie (as all other languages are dubbed versions only like Hindi, Malayalam, English and Korean.

Suraj Sudeep (talk) 16:55, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

@

primary sources as definitive sources of controversial information like finances, since a director/producer/actor/distrubutor/etc. would have every reason to inflate their "official" values and 2) There is no such thing as "official" film financial data in Indian cinema. Everything is an estimate. So whatever point you are trying to make is unclear, and the lack of references doesn't shed a whole lot of light on the matter. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk

Sir you have changed the collection of Kannada movie maanikya but in the Wikipedia page of the movie maanikya it is stated with source that it has earned 43.5 crores so I would like you to change the same accordingly Suraj Sudeep (talk) 12:35, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

@Suraj Sudeep: - I believe you're referring to this edit, which was made by user Tevar shaa, not by me. To answer your question, when we consider a film's gross, we're talking only about money made at the box office. We're not interested in secondary revenue streams like satellite rights sales, music rights sales, etc. The 43.5 crore value at Maanikya was erroneously including these values and has been fixed in this edit. According to Indiaglitz, the film grossed about 35 crore rupees. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 12:53, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

@Manyugarg: I don't understand what you're asking. The gross values presumably indicate worldwide gross. This means the box office values of all theatrical releases worldwide, including dubbed releases. This is the default assumption that most people should have about what "worldwide gross" means. At List of highest-grossing films there is no special column indicating how much money Captain America: Civil War made from its Cantonese dub, but I guarantee that value is factored into the $1,153,304,495 figure.

Hello Dear,

I see there is no update for this section of Highest grossing Kannada movies for over a month now. From the sources available on inernet, i see the currently running Movie Raajakumar has dose business in the 75-80 Cr. Also i am sure there is increase in the earnings of Kirik Party, which is still running in the theatres. One of souces i can refer to is IMDB, on which it shows Raajakumara has over taken Mungaaru Male by a distance. I am keen to see the wiki too updated. Could you please do the honours.

Thanks so much!!

Please add Chinese/Mandarin in languages under Dangal top grossing movies 103.24.23.42 (talk) 23:31, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Not done: Language column indicates the language the film was shot in, not dubs. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:47, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

In these edits, Betty Logan was kind enough to make some table formatting changes that group various ranks based on a film's gross. Example:

Before

After

So why is this better? Simple: Raajakumara, Doddmane Hudga, Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna and Uppi 2 all grossed 40 crore. So it would be completely arbitrary for us to decide that Raajakumara is #4 when Uppi 2 could also be considered #4. By manipulating a film's placement in the old system, we are effectively giving preferential treatment to Raajakumara, by suggesting that it grossed more, and thus needs to be ranked higher. This totally violates

Hopefully this works, though fans of Raajkumara will still try and have their movie as the first among equals. I feel that if the figures are equal, the older movie should be the first among equals, because its easier to gross huge numbers nowadays compared to before thanks to inflation and higher ticker prices. Jupitus Smart 05:36, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jupitus Smart: I think the films should be arranged alphabetically. This seems the most neutral way to deal with this, and to prevent disruption, but I do understand the merits of your argument. I'll have to think about this. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:36, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

The worldwide gross should be changed from 792 to 743 --Rashkeqamar (talk) 14:07, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

@Rashkeqamar: And your explanation for why we should ignore the two reliable sources that are already present in the article[2][3], delete the 792 crore value and replace it with the lower 743 value is what, exactly? Is it that BoxOfficeIndia's estimates are more in line with your personal point of view, and so we should change the data to adhere to your perspective and ignore all other points of view? The entirety of Indian film financials are based on estimates, so there is no singular authority that anyone can describe as scientifically precise. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:23, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb:, In Overseas Gross of Indian Films including Hindi,Telugu ,Tamil films the data is consistent, but only in case of domestic gross in India(due to entertainment tax and also due to producers' stating more collection at times), the gross collection vary 3-10 crores range. The sites which you mentioned, ibtimes and indianexpress are NOT trade websites, they quote data from trade websites, like Boxofficeindia.com like TimesofIndia do , as here

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/box-office/baahubali-2-the-conclusion-worldwide-box-office-collection-day-10-film-creates-history-by-crossing-1000-crore-mark/articleshow/58571727.cms

So, the data should be taken from a trade website who deals with collection from every territory and quote its figure on its site consistently. In this case, Boxofficeindia.com is site which gives data for Hindi films and Hindi-Dubbed films . it is much better than Bollywood Hungama, which is not quoting regional collections and takes data from producers. so Boxofficeindia.com should be given priority. there was data differences 3-4 years back in Krrish 3 collections when producers exaggered the worldwide figures of film by 60 crores from actual ₹ 187 crores to ₹ 255 crores.--Rashkeqamar (talk) 14:30, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

I would like to propose that a new section be included with the name "Timeline of highest-grossing films" just like in the article List of highest-grossing films. It would be very informative. It can be started with films since the year 1990 then be expanded to include the earlier films. - Jayadevp13 13:51, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

1) Also what about films like Mughal-e-Azam ? In that case ]]Highest-grossing films adjusted for inflation]] will make sense Mrkks (talk) 21:52, 1 May 2017 (UTC)Mrkks

@Mrkks: The bulk of the financials for Indian films are based on guesses, rumours, unverified claims, and lies. Establishing definitively that a film from 1960 is one of the highest-grossing films in Indian cinema (adjusted for inflation) would be a monumental feat, and one based almost entirely on conjecture. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:18, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jayadevp13: I understand what you are going for with the timeline of highest-grossing movies, but I have some questions/notes:

• How does a reader
  verify
  that Hum Aapke held the #1 spot from 1994 to 2001? While there are references to indicate the individual gross values, where are the references that say "Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! was the highest-grossing Indian film of all time until it was overtaken by Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in 2001." That specific verified claim is crucial to the list being meaningful in any way, because without those assertions, all there is in the table are a series of meaningless numbers, and we're asking readers to assume that the lack of any contrary information equates to an indisputable fact.
• Does Box Office India even chart films that aren't in Hindi? Where is Dasavathaaram in this BOI box breakdown for 2008?
• If Dasavathaaram is missing from that BOI list, how does a reader know that in all the other years of BOI charts, no Tamil, Telugu, or Malayalam film ever charted as #1? Again, we're asking readers to assume that a lack of contrary information equates to a factual assertion.
• An example taken from your inspiration List of highest-grossing films#Timeline of highest-grossing films uses this reference, which says explicitly: "[Jurassic Park grossed] $705 million within 115 days of its initial theatrical release, making it the all-time international box office champ. The previous record holder was Spielberg's own "E.T." (USA/1982), which eventually grossed $701 million." That is a clear declarative statement that doesn't leave much room for confusion. It tells us what the previous record was, and it tells us what the new record was. That is the level of clarity required for this list.

There is a significant lack of information in the Indian version of that table, and these issues would have to be fixed if there's any hope of keeping that list. I also consider this a supremely difficult task, given the lack of centralised auditing of financial figures, as well as the media's tendency to only be interested in films produced in their own language. I have no idea how this can be accomplished. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:08, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: Thank You for taking your time to research about it and write all those points.

• With regard to your first point, what I thought of (at the time of editing the article) was that people could compare the table with the Highest-grossing films by year table and see. To elaborate what I mean, the highest-grossing film of 1994 Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! had grossed ₹127.96 crore and the highest-grossing film of 2001, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham had grossed around ₹135.53 crore. Between them all the movies had grossed less than the earnings of Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! in 1994. My belief was that people can infer this from the Highest-grossing films by year list.
• No, the website Box Office India doesn't track the earnings of movies which are not in Hindi. You can also see that from the absence of Baahubali: The Beginning from this Top Worldwide Grossers 2015 list. Now this is problem. How to show in the Highest-grossing films by year table that a particular year's highest grossing movie was not in Hindi.
• With regard to your fourth point, finding that kind of references will be very tough especially since there is a lack of centralised auditing of financial figures, just like you told. That was the reason I took the Highest-grossing films by year table as a reference to compare and make a new table (don't know if Wikipedia policies allow it). If it is allowed then we can mention at the start of the section that this table is derived using data from the previous table. I hope you understand what I am trying to convey here.

What do you suggest I should do now? Should I (or you) remove the list which I created until definite sources can be established? Might be possible for movies which released after 2009 (for example 3 idiots). I highly doubt that it is possible for movies which were released earlier. With regards. - Jayadevp13 03:47, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

@

WP:LISTCRUFT which does not enlighten anybody any more than the list of Highest-grossing films by year that is just above. I respect your good intentions Jayadevp13, but as I said, the list does not have much significance as of date. If you can at least add more details - say take back the timeline to 1960, it will probably merit remaining. I am removing the forked list for now. Feel free to revert with a reason. Jupitus Smart

@Jayadevp13: I think it was a solid, constructive effort, but we just don't have the sourcing yet to justify its inclusion. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:03, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

After looking at List of highest-grossing films(which is a featured list), it seems like there are several areas where this list can be improved. For example, it seems useless to mention the Producer/production house of the movie as that information only obfuscates what the reader is actually looking for(that is not done on the featured list as well). Hoping for a fruitful discussion. I put this on the top because I felt that this would be a massive change to the article. Thank you. Aravindreddy96 (talk) 16:21, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Aravindreddy96, thank you for opening a discussion. I've moved your comment to the bottom, because that's where editors expect to see new discussions. One glaring difference between this article and List of highest-grossing films is that at the featured list article, virtually all of the films are in English. Previous discussions at this article seem to prefer the inclusion of languages for one reason or another. Though some are motivated by a desire to have their ethnic film industry receive "credit", I think there is merit in knowing which languages are more likely to gross more money. It tells an interesting story when a film like Baahubali, which was filmed in Telugu and Tamil, dominates an industry where Hindi is the primary breadwinner. I'll let others weigh in on whether or not Studio and Director belong in the table. I think there's probably more value in including director than studio. Given how inherently unreliable Indian film financial data is, it is dubious that this list will ever achieve any of our quality benchmarks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:27, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: Although I agree with you that there is merit in knowing about which languages gross more money in the Indian cinema, the question here is whether or not that offsets the degradation of the article by obfuscating more important data(i.e the rank of the movie and the total gross). I genuinely feel that the list would look much cleaner without the language column. Although your point about Baahubali is correct, this is a rare exception rather than the norm. Aravindreddy96 (talk) 17:41, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Well, your response seems to be predicated on an unfounded position that the article is both degraded and obfuscated by the inclusion of language, which I don't think it is. I'm not aware of any regular editors or casual readers complaining about the complexity of the data. In fact, one editor wants to increase the data in these tables by adding inflation adjustments. An aesthetics argument should probably be based on previous complaints, rather than an arbitrary drive to conform this list to another. Though I do understand the argument for uniformity, Indian cinema has demonstrated that it is different than western cinema. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:15, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

I suggest adding a Currency conversion of year collections to present date so that it will easy for viewers to compare and view to data easily. e.g. Collection of 18Cr(1990) in present date approx ₹18 crore (equivalent to ₹177 crore or US$22 million in 2023) Sanjan Kumar Patel 19:21, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

• Comment: Consensus could be construed to already exist here for the full removal of INRConvert templates from this article, and another discussion about INRConvert in general can be found here. The prevailing attitude toward INRConvert seems to be that we are arbitrarily converting Indian rupees to US dollars, which promotes pro-US bias. Why not Euros? Why not Yuan? 2) The use of the default INRConvert template is problematic for older films, because by default the template converts a number to the present-day equivalent of Rupees and US Dollars. 3) The inflation adjustment switch helps even the data out, but we're still presenting US values. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:05, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: Agree with your point about why we only convert the INR to USD. Actually, my point is that we should convert the collection value to an approx collection(exact is impossible) value in present date.

i.e. ₹18 crore in 1990 is (equivalent to ₹124 crore in 2017) so is there any template exist which will do this only show equivalent INR value. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanjanind (talk • contribs) 04:32, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

It hasn't. Some sources (Indian Express/Financial Express, etc.) were practicing poor journalism and lumping in "pre-release income" with the box office figures, inflating the numbers by 200+ crore rupees. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:30, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

@Taniya94: Your pet project, the Highest grossing Indian franchise and film series table you created, has been flagged for cleanup since November.

1. Is there a reason why we're using US dollars in the table when everything else in this article is in Rupees? Previous discussions at
   the Indian cinema task force
   suggest the vocal community doesn't find much value in focusing on US dollars.
2. The "highest-grossing film" column should probably become "highest-grossing film in franchise" just for clarity
3. The figures in parentheticals are odd, especially with the references wedged inside the parens. Maybe another column for the references would be a better way to present this data?

Thank you, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:47, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

I agree, it would be much more sensible if the box office figures were in Rupees as there is always a constant fluctuation of the USD vs INR value. ~Rajan51 (talk) 14:57, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

• • If you can make it in INR from USD, then please do it. But this table includes the list of every film released under a franchise, so, do not delete the list. Please see, List of highest-grossing films#Highest-grossing franchises and film series. Taniya94 (talk) 14:31, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

@Taniya94: and @Cyphoidbomb: - The figures were not in dollars but in INR. However they were using the million form of numbering instead of the crore form. In the Indian numbering system, 1 crore = 10 million and I have modified the list accordingly. References are something that I or probably anybody else apart from Taniya94 cannot add, as these numbers are currently being accepted in good faith because of her standing. I would therefore urge Taniya94 to add a column for references for all these movies for the sake of transparency. Jupitus Smart 15:41, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb:, it would be nice if you could add a column for references. I tried my hand at making a column but seem to be technically inept at that. Probably that is the reason why Taniya94 could not add the column as well.Jupitus Smart 16:00, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Please clarify the reason you removed great father from the list?The reasons you mentioned above for muhammed suhail's questions are not convincing

1. What source you want other than the one suhail listed above to include Great father in the list?If you consider manorama as a reliable source,why cant you include the same source for Great father as well.You mentioned that in second line,they mention that it is confirmed by producer.Is producer the right person to confirm the collection?If not him,who will you think is the best person to confirm the collection?Producer is very well aware that he has to pay tax for the figures he confirm as the collection of movie. If that is your problem,do you have any statement to prove that what producer said is not correct?If manorama is a reliable source,all contents in that source should be reliable.You cannot put that as the reason to remove the movie from the list.

2.The same excuse is applicable for Pazhassi raja as well.Below one is report from times of india,which is definitely a reliable source where it is mentioned that pazhassi has collected 49 crore and nothing mentioned like confirmed by producer in the article.WHy cant you update pazhassi in the list?

The Great Father is surging in theatres after breaching the 50 crore mark. The collection figures were released by the producers of the movie.".

The new reference for Raajkumara ([4]) says that it could become the first Kannada film to gross above 50 crore. Our figures for Mungaru Male is a range from 50 - 75 crores with the higher value coming from a primary source. Would it not be prudent if we remove the range and peg the figure at 50 crores for Mungaru Male as most sources, including the new one tend to converge around that number.

@Tevar shaa: for the reason that I have mentioned above. We don't allow references from primary sources to be considered as a matter of policy. Mungaru Male had the range as an exception, which I felt was not required as all other sources agreed on the 50 crore figure. And Mungaru Male is still the top Kannada movie as of today. All the top 3 movies are equally in first place, though it is internally sorted based on alphabetical order (date would have been better in this case as Mungaru Male's 50 crore 10 years ago is certainly more impressive, though the consensus on that is yet to be formed).Jupitus Smart 18:54, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the responding n Mungaru Male should have been top among three. Y bcz it was collected over ₹50 crore 10 years back..

Hi Paine, I've modified your changes slightly. Kabali's gross has been a nightmare, and sparing you the gory details, a straight conversion of the 2017 US$77 million value to Indian rupees could already yield a wide range of "crore" values, but also Kabali was a 2016 film, so inflation may be an issue. Anyway, short story, I've presented the value as a range of 477–499 crore based on Indian Express's estimate of 477 and the highest conversion of $77 million to ₹ that is < 500 crore rupees. Augh.

Well, its Hindi version got the highest collection, so Hindi is omitted from the page, and it gives the viewer an incomplete view. There should be some mention on this page itself, like a note stating the dubbed versions and their languages. Your view ?31.215.112.102 (talk) 12:00, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

I don't see what incomplete view you're talking about. The film was shot in Telugu and Tamil. Check. The film grossed ₹NNNN. Check. That's pretty much the entire view required for this basic list article. We don't break down the gross by languages here. If more detail is of academic interest, the intuitive place for that detail to go is at the main Baaahubali 2 article if editors so deem it necessary. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:50, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

According To Times Of India Report Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja (film) has collected 49cr. According to Wikipedia Times Of India is a reliable source. In that report it is not saying that the collection report is not according to the producer or actor. Here is the link http://m.timesofindia.com/others/news-interviews/Hariharan-MT-Vasudevan-prepare-for-Randamoozham/articleshow/9807050.cms

For what reason you are adding this movie in the list Please answer it Muhammed.suhail (talk) 15:28, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

@Muhammed.suhail: There was a detailed discussion about this here. Some editors felt it was clearly a mistake, with one argument being that TOI's failure to repeat the claim supports the likelihood that it is a mistake. For example here, there is no mention of KVPR in a Top 5 highest-grossing Malyalam films presentation. When we're dealing with questionable content, we typically try to go with what most sources are saying, not with what one source says. This should make sense, because 1) Indian film financials are notoriously unreliable. 2) Indian film financials are notoriously inflated. 3) Indian film journalism isn't always as good as it could be. 4) People can make mistakes.

Just because a source exists doesn't mean it can't be questioned, and in this case, the argument that Times of India never repeated the claim is somewhat significant. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:06, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: Then sir Can you add another source for MunthiriVallikkal Thalirkkubol. Only Manorama News Arguing this all other source says that it is according to producer. So Manoram News made an error on it. Can you go for a detail study. Muhammed.suhail (talk) 15:49, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: I think that you find an error on the collection of Munthiri Vallikal Thalirkkumbol is not valid. Because according your sources the producer or actor post in facebook is not valid. THE NEW INDIAN EXPRESS report says that it is according to Mohanlal FB post. The link is http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/malayalam/2017/mar/01/munthirivallikalin-50-crore-clubmohanlal-thanks-all-1575955.html

According to TIMES OF INDIA report it says that the collection report is according to Director. Then how is it valid??? http://m.timesofindia.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/munthirivallikal-thalirkumbol-enters-50-crore-club/articleshow/57392148.cms Muhammed.suhail (talk) 16:10, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

In the section Global gross figures, director S. S Rajamouli's picture is present with the caption S. S. Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is the highest grossing Indian film to date and he is the first Indian director to achieve the feat of grossing over than 1000 crore rupees. Please change that to S. S. Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is the highest grossing Indian film to date and he is the first Indian director to achieve the feat of grossing over than ₹1,500 crore (US$190 million). Reasons given are that refs state it to be the first and only Indian film to cross 1500 crore. 1000 figure is outdated. Also, formatted the format of the amount display.

yes, there seem to be inaccuracy in data for the 2000 and 2001 years.... in 2000 "kaho na pyaar hai" was highest grossing movie but here "mohabbatein" is given. similarly "gadar" was highest grossing in 2001 but here "K3G" is given..... both are incorrect -- Adamstraw99 (talk) 05:40, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham grossed 135.53 crore, which is why the latter film is in the #1 spot. My guess is that you're looking at the "adjusted nett gross" as indicated here. I don't know what this figure means, but we don't use variations on gross in film articles. We don't use "adjusted nett gross", we don't use "nett gross", etc. The figure we care about is the raw gross. Cyphoidbomb (talk

) 14:49, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Cyphoidbomb for correcting me. I misunderstood the "adjusted nett gross" as actual gross and now only realised that it is the adjusted amount according to current currency value.

Dangal gross collection worldwide is 1453 Crores only not 1,743 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atulrawat19 (talk • contribs) 12:55, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

 Not done - Truly bizarre. This guy wanted us to only use Boxofficeindia.com as a source, and you for some reason, want us to completely disregard it. There is no established basis for your request, as BOI is generally considered reliable, even though their figures may not be consistent with other sources. Keep in mind that all Indian film financial figures are estimates, and without independent central auditing there is no way to gauge accuracy. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:12, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Currently Baahubali2 and Dangal movies are running successfully all over the world and they have collected approximately 1596 and 1563 crores globally. Now out of somewhere a site called boxofficeindia.com came up with some bizzare numbers which are wrongly framed. Based on the reference provided correct the article "List of highest-grossing Indian films". If needed let me know if the reference provided is not sufficient as we can give reference of multiple sites with correct source data.

Dangal collections were 1,523 crores until 23rd May. How come it went to 1743 crore by 24th May. Definitely, something is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhuvannalla (talk • contribs) 13:24, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

@Bhuvannalla: a few posts up someone seems to attribute the bump to the release of the Mandarin dub. I don't know if that's legit. He added links, so you can check it out. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:14, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

@Bhuvannalla: Well, I've had to redact the comment because the guy took the content mostly verbatim from this source, but if you look at the source, that might explain some things. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:29, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

I Think its all the work of "Hindi lobby"... Dangal was not showing as "currently running in cinemas" for past three months, but as soon as "Baahubali 2" reached 1500 crores , hindi lobby suddenly became proactive and turned the background color of "Dangal" to green just to show that it is currently running in theaters... the fact is dangal has completed its theatrical run long ago...its current run in "China" and earnings shown there is the handiwork of this hindi lobby which cannot digest the fact that a Tamil/Telugu film has crossed them in the highest ever benchmarks of 1500 crores.. that is it ...--Adamstraw99 (talk) 14:56, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

@Adamstraw99: If this were a western film, say, one of the Marvel superhero films, would we not track the film's release in China? Captain America: Civil War made significant money in China, and those financial gains are all part of the USD$1.153 billion gross. There is also specific coverage of monies made in other regions, including China, South Korea, and the UK, which were the three largest international markets. How is Dangal any different? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:27, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

yup, yup, @Cyphoidbomb, dangal is no different(despite the fact that hindi lobby jumped in after baahubali defeated dangal..hehe) .... but you hev not yet told me why 'mohabbatein' and 'K3G' ARE listed as highest grossers for the year 2000 and 2001 when actually they are not...and you are defending both these inaccurate listings ?? Adamstraw99 (talk) 15:46, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

@Adamstraw99: Do I really need to explain why? It should be extraordinarily obvious: Because that's what the sources[5][6] say. We don't edit according to our personal opinions/impressions/beliefs, we edit according to what sources say. So if you want to challenge the BOI figures, you'll need to bring references to the contrary and then present a compelling argument for why we should ignore BOI. And, you will need the agreement of other editors to make such a change. This discussion should all take place somewhere other than in this discussion thread, since this thread is about Dangal, not about 16-17 year-old films. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:24, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

According to ramesh bala the collections of dangal were 1535 crore and bahubali 2 were 1596 crore but here it was totally different.

The box office report website shows different figures now as compared to what was edited here. So that website definitely looks unreliable Scak80 (talk) 18:47, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: Though I am not ruling out the reliability of Box Office India (BOI), I certainly feel that it's recent report is absurd. I mean, the day Baahubali 2 (BB2) grossed Rs 1500 crore, most of the reliable news blogs reported this fate on the next day with a proper agreement of figures. If Dangal had indeed surpassed BB2 and that two by a huge margin of 156 crore, it would have received huge coverage on online media at least. Like it happened when BB2 broke PK's record and when it grossed over 1000 crore and when it grossed over 1500 crore. But in this case, I didn't come across even a single "reliable" source other than BOI supporting Dangal's 1743 crore figures (the problem lies in the figure itself). Instead the other sources continued citing trade analysts' estimates for both films. Right from BB2's release upto yesterday, we had gone as per reliable sources citing estimates of trade analysts Ramesh Bala and Taran Adarsh and we knew that Dangal was still trailing past BB2 by a sizable margin till yesterday and most sources supported the same. And today, we suddenly come across a single BOI report which makes nearly "absurd" claims. I think we must give weightage to largely agreeing sources published by likes of India Today, NDTV, The Indian Express, Business Standard etc. Even The Times of India (TOI), which is often the first website to report BOI's figures has reported only those of BB2, i.e. 1530 crore figure against 1586 crore figure commonly supported by rest of the sources. TOI hasn't reported Dangal's figures of BOI. There is something fishy and biased in the particular highlighted report of BOI. We must check it properly sir. I think we must wait until other sources also report about Dangal surpassing BB2. Please do reply. Vibhss (talk) 19:48, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: ramesh bala is box office analyst - he gives correct numbers and taran adrash is senior most box office analyst of india- if u want to know about detailed collection of dangal you can check it taran adrash twitter page, dangal is not crossed bahubali 2 yet.indian collections are not guess anymore- it was earlier but not now, if u believe in that guesses why did you trusted boxoffice india website ? and why did u updated in wikipedia, only website which is wrong, their are lot of websites with correct figures which is dangal not crossed baahubali 2, please edit it in wikipedia (Akhil Manne (talk) 20:29, 25 May 2017 (UTC))

Edit the gross figure of Dangal. Now the same page http://www.boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=2952 edited Dangal collections as 1538 crore. We can use this reference http://www.ibtimes.co.in/dangal-vs-baahubali-2-worldwide-box-office-collection-aamir-khans-film-set-beat-record-prabhas-728126 for both the films. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.49.80.251 (talk) 00:51, 26 May 2017 (UTC) Sorry, forgot to login.

As per IBT times india Baahubali2 and Dangal are yet to cross 1600 crores gross worlwide with Baahubali having an edge over Dangal. Due to wrong calculations Boxoffice india site has provided Dangal with an additional 200+ crores which has to be reverted back

In the global gross figures, Rajamouli's picture is present. Yesterday, its caption was changed to second highest as per yesterday's collection which was 1530 crore as compared to Dangal's 1538 crore. However, today's latest sources already present in the article report that Baahubali 2 has once again broken Dangal and also Box Office India wrote it incorrectly as 1739 crore. (it is corrected now on their website to 1539 crore [5 and 7 got exchanged while typing i guess], current gross of Baahubali is 1605 crore.) Based on the references provided in the global gross figures table, please change it to number one to reflect current status. 2.51.22.50 (talk) 14:16, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi,

As the battle for top spot gets closer, can we please ensure that the worldwide box office numbers we publish can be verified by breaking them down into domestic and international revenue? This will ensure that figures circulated by the media cannot be used unless they can be verified in such a way.

Thanks. Factual Proof (talk) 15:28, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Update the latest collection information from valid source

As per box-office figures, Dangal has earned Rs 1743 crore worldwide, while Baahubali 2 has netted Rs 1530 crore.

That was a typing error by Box Office India which listed it at 1738 crore first, now its changed to 1538. India Today replicated the source. That time Baahubali 2 had 1530 crore so technically it was surpassed. Then again Baahubali 2 got 1596 crore while Dangal got only 1563 crore, so its number one once again.

Many of youtube videos had been saying that bb2 collections had reached 1657 by 28 may,2017. But ,many of english news papers had been saying that bb2 had just grossed 1600 crores and also they are saying that dangal had crossed bb2 Why they are giving there own statements without any official meet by dangal producers? Even bb2 producers are giving data about collections. And also most of papers are discriminating telugu movie . So please stop editing the dangal collections till official data was given by their producers. Not only dangal but also bb2 .Don't edit them.Please save the respect of Wikipedia.Please.And also if you want to change collections refer highest grossing films of china once. Jagan rao (talk) 15:01, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Youtube contains famade videos, official data released by producers are not used in Wikipedia as they are labelled primary sources, the producer may increase the money to reach number 1. Also note to admins, the Baahubali 2 gross is 1633 according to the reference while it is 1623 now. Change it as the ref does not mention 1623 only 1633. 2.51.17.247 (talk) 11:31, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
