What are we supposed to do with the details above? You've provided no actual references, i.e. links to the articles you want us to consider. When I search for "Rajani's lingaa enters 25th day vijays kaththi completes 75 days", I get this article, which quotes a gross of 140 crore for Lingaa, not the 154 crore you allege. And even if we could find a definitive source that supported a 154 crore gross for Lingaa, that would still be far below the sourced 172 crore total for Theri.

The fact that the data in the article doesn't coincide with your perspective on what the figures should be, does not automatically equate to "mistakes" in the article. Indian film financial details are not absolutes and should not be considered as such, and higher values for films you like doesn't necessarily mean that the film achieved those higher cited figures. Anyway, short story: This urgency to frantically manipulate box office figures is why the article is protected. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:33, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

In section Global gross figures add Gujarati as a language for Secret Superstar and Raees A145029 (talk) 04:18, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: As far as I know Secret Superstar is set in Gujarat but is in Hindi, and not Gujarati. If this is not the case, please provide references showing it to be so. Also for Raees. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 07:28, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. You are right the main language is Hindi, but Gujarati is also used sometimes in both films. For example during songs. In Secret Superstar in the song I'll Miss You, the chorus has "Hu Tane Prem Karu Chu" which is Gujarati for I love you.^[1] In Raees songs the titles of the songs Udi Udi Jaye^[2] and Enu Naam Che Raees^[3] are in Gujarati, and Ghammar Ghammar^[4] is completely in Gujarati. In the films many posters, boards, signs, building names, restaurant names in Gujarati.^[5][6]

Just like Marwari is mentioned as a language for Padmaavat and Marathi is mentioned for Bajirao Mastani. Gujarati is used as a secondary language in these two films as Marwari and Marathi are used in Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani. A145029 (talk) 20:02, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

The listed languages only refer to dialogue, not song lyrics, or background scenery. If you have any sources saying there are actual dialogue in Gujarati, then feel free to present them. Maestro2016 (talk) 14:38, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

In Secret Superstar the Gujarati language is sometimes used while teaching at the school.^[1]

For the Raees film Shahrukh Khan did an interview and a question asked is "Will we hear you speaking Gujarati in the film?" and he answers "Yes, in the film I do try to (laughs). I’m really bad with languages, but the film is Gujarat-based so most of the characters, at one time or the other, do fall into speaking Gujarati and so do I. That dialogue where I say ‘Aah Raha Hoon’ will be ‘Aau Chu’ (laughs). So, yes, I do speak in Gujarati in places as well. But I do sound slightly different from many people but yes. Everyone… most of the characters snap into Gujarati throughout the film."^[2]A145029 (talk) 17:48, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

WP:ICTF#Guidelines on sources for some examples of references that are considered sufficient in the context of Indian film. Anybody can start a website or blog and publish whatever they want, that does not mean that we just indiscriminately swallow that information. Indian film financial details are very often subject to inflation and fabrication, often for promotional purposes. There is no centralised authority on Indian film finances. Any figure reported is an estimate, and higher estimates do not equate to greater accuracy. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk

How come Dangal movie's collections went suddenly from 2122 crores to 2200 crores even though it almost closed its business? Is it not manipulating the data? According to other standard sources, Dangal total collections did not even reach 2000 crores but Wikipedia is giving its own figures, manipulated by biased editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.226.176.246 (talk) 05:13, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Editor @Maestro2016 is manipulating Gross collections in his own way. He increased Dangal movie's collections suddenly from 2122 crores to 2200 by seeing the weekend Baahubali 2 collections in China thinking that it may cross Dangal's collections in the long run. Now, he reverted Dangal collections to 2122 crores by seeing the Baahubali 2's Monday collections as it collected less. He is purely manipulating the data in his own way to keep Dangal at top — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.226.241.190 (talk) 07:54, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

I was updating the totals of several films that are still running in several markets by adding up the regional collections, and in Dangal's case the total went higher than expected (with several sources supporting this higher number). After soon having second thoughts about it, I undid it shortly after. Maestro2016 (talk) 14:04, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

NagrajSuperCommandoDhruv (talk) 10:52, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

That link is outdated, from the start of July 2017, when the film was still running in China and Taiwan, and didn't release yet in Hong Kong, Turkey, Japan or South Korea. Also, it was only including nett gross (accounting for 387 crore in India), not total gross (587 crore in India).

Regional breakdown:

• India - 587 crore total gross (387 crore nett)
• China - CN¥1,299.12 million (₹1,330 crore)
• Taiwan - 41 crore
• Hong Kong - 23.1 crore
• Turkey - 3 crore
• Japan - 3 crore
• Korea - 4 crore
• Other markets - $31.8 million (217.2 crore)

Total - 2208.3 crore total gross (including 1394.1 crore in Chinese markets) (2008.3 crore nett)

Recent sources which give total gross between 2100 and 2200 crore - IB Times (2122 crore), Hindustan Times (2200 crore), The Statesman (2200 crore), Statista ($330 million).

The best possible solution to this problem is report it as '2000+ crore'. I also left ref note at the end of Global gross figures. here's what I wrote.

^{DangalBoxoffice}Dangal's box-office gross is shown to be 2000+ crore, because it has been difficult to pinpoint exact figures. However all sources do agree that the movie has grossed more than 2000 crore. All this issues occurred due to the irregularities between movie's reported box-office gross for china and inconsistent currency conversions.

Chinese collection, according to at that time when 1 dollar is equal to 64 rs ,is less than that show in figure According to this dollar rupees rate ,collection 100 crore less than actual figure All agency is giving wrong figure This article does not give inflated rate it gives actual collection So we have to provide actual data on wikipedia which 2000 crore T-Shirt wala (talk) 17:30, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

According to EntGroup (the most reliable source on the Chinese box office available in English), Dangal grossed $216.2 million in China. According to Template:To USD (average 2017 exchange rate), this converts to ₹1,601 crore. Maestro2016 (talk) 19:00, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Chinese collection of Dangal was 1200 cr not 1400 cr editor@maestro 2016 is biased completely and he continuous gave wrong data throughout whole journey of Dangal it started when bahubali 2 released actual collection of Dangal even not surpassed 2000 cr NagrajSuperCommandoDhruv (talk) 14:37, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

It is 1400 crore combined from all three Chinese markets, including China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. In China alone, it grossed CN¥1299.12 million, which converts to well over ₹1300 crore, which you can see for yourself in any currency convertor. And with Taiwan and Hong Kong, the total comes up to 1400 crore. Worldwide, it crossed 2000 crore a while ago. Maestro2016 (talk) 15:49, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

First of all as we see on google Taiwan lifetime collection is 40 cr and hong kong is 20 cr that make 60 cr let chinese collection be 1300 cr according to you Before china release overall collection of Dangal is 587 cr worldwide Now total is 1300+60+587=1947 Another very big question is why you sudden change dangal collection from 2122 to 2200 cr??????? NagrajSuperCommandoDhruv (talk) 08:21, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

@NagrajSuperCommandoDhruv: 587 crore was box office gross in India only. Apart from and before the box office gross of 1360 crore earned from Chinese markets, Dangal had already grossed over 210 crore in remaining oversees markets. So, the correct totaling is 1300+60+587+210=2157 crore. Please learn to read and interpret complete information before making falsifying claims. Vibhss (talk) 15:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

I suggest a new section for the Opening Weekend Gross. I have made up a list of 20 films so far. For Hindi films which had a three day opening weekend, I have taken the data from Box Office India[4] and the rest are from individual reports.

Do the names of the directors and studios have to be mentioned in the lists. If yes, why? ~Rajan51(talk) 7:32, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

There's no mandate, but there's also no prohibition. The tables have been formatted this way for several years. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:14, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

The thing is, those two columns seem to occupy a lot of space and can be removed if they are not very important. I know that they have been there for a long time, but that alone cannot justify their presence there. ~Rajan51(talk) 16:31, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

The page costs the same whether the director and studio are there or not, so "occupy a lot of space" can't alone justify their removal. It's not like we're going to use that freed-up space for ads or something. I would imagine someone might find it interesting to see which studios/directors appear the most in the various tables, but I don't presently have a strong opinion. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:58, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Since it occupies more space, removing them will make it easier for Mobile phone viewers to view the entire table. ~Rajan51(talk) 3:57, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Do we normally remove content to make it easier for mobile phone viewers? That's not actually something I've ever heard of. It would seem that if content is useful for all, it's also useful for mobile viewers. Where else would they get this information? They'd have to search each article independently and take notes? Doesn't that actually seem like more of a hassle? Again, I don't presently have a strong opinion, but I feel it's my obligation to present counter-arguments to "it's taking up space". Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:40, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Personally, it wouldn't bother me much whether the director/studio names were kept or removed. I'm fine either way. Maestro2016 (talk) 22:27, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, I was wondering if Best of the Year is reliable for box office numbers. For example, for Kannada films, it cites Raajakumara for grossing 75 cr, and Mr and Mrs Ramachari at 52 cr., and Aptharakshaka at 40 cr. This would obviously change some of the Kannada films listed currently, and looking at their "About us" section, they seem legitimate. However, I wanted some confirmation on whether or not they can be a valid resource. Thanks. Shrev64 (talk) 06:10, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

The given source for Dangal's China gross does not seem to work. So, a new source is needed. Maybe this can be used. ~Rajan51(talk) 5:36, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Or a better way would be to get the Chinese gross in CN¥ and convert it to INR. As per this report from EntGroup, Dangal(released as Wrestle! Father) grossed CN¥1.29912 billion in China(equivalent to ₹1,218.46 crore[5]) ~Rajan51(talk) 7:29, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Generally speaking, I really question Forbes contributor Rob Cain's claims. It's totally unclear what makes this guy some kind of savant for Indian film financials, especially when he's the only guy making the more grandiose claims that the rest of the industry doesn't seem comfortable to report when the chips are down. My skepticism is heightened when Forbes itself bears a disclaimer "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own", which is something other experienced editors have noted. Is he just a random blogger?

Kabali (July 2016 release) is one of my favorite examples of financial hype gone awry for a film. Producers (and shitty reporting from Indian Express. Financial Express, and the rest of Express Group) were claiming that the film had a box office gross of ₹600+ crore, even though it was well documented that the film had pre-release transactions of satellite and music rights sales totaling about 200 crore, which would have brought the box office figures down to (at most) ₹400 crore. Genuine skepticism from Firstpost and IBT lowered these figures to about 300 crore early on. In 2017, long after the rush died down, IBT put their estimated gross total for Kabali at about ₹286 crore, yet Forbes Contributor Rob Cain, whose opinions are his own, pushed an almost 500 crore figure as his authoritative take on the mess of financial information in May 2017, which we kind of have to report to this day, since as a group we haven't yet dug into whether or not we think this guy knows what he's talking about. I think we should start questioning him. Cyphoidbomb (talk

) 08:32, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether his claims are correct. But one thing that concerns me is how the worldwide box office grosses of Dangal and Baahubali 2 have been calculated here. By using this method, we are increasing the error rates of the grosses. Besides, Danagl's grosses in India, Taiwan, Hong Kong and "Other Territories" have been obtained from Rob Cain's article. There was a report on IBT which stated that Dangal's global gross was ₹1979.12 crore by June 2018. ~Rajan51(talk) 9:24, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Exactly. I recall the time when this guy reported that Baahubali 2 crossed ₹1725 crore while 3 months later International Business Times reported a lower figure (remember, this is after the film had a 3 month long run). Great disparity of figures. He was also the first to claim Dangal crossed ₹2000 crore. The rest of the Indian media took it up, and then the producers arrived with a clarification stating this was not the case. Interestingly, the person has a history of Twitter fights with Box Office India (don't ask) and this scathing article almost seems to be pointing towards him. 2.51.22.253 (talk) 17:46, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Ha, interesting. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:39, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

That's odd. Not sure what happened to the link, but EntGroup was reporting $216 million in China last I checked. Now that the link is gone down though, you could take the CNY gross and convert it according to 2017 exchange rates. Using the average 2017 OFX exchange rates of 6.7568 CNY/USD and 65.11 INR/USD, ¥1299.12 million converts to $192.3 million and ₹1,252 crore. Oddly, OFX was previously reporting the Chinese exchange rate as about 6.4 CNY/USD average for 2017, which resulted in a converted gross of over 1300 crore, but with the updated exchange rate of 6.7568 CNY/USD, the converted gross now comes to 1252 crore. As for worldwide gross, as mentioned in the article, most sources give the total as over 2000 crore, with some going up to 2100-2200 crore (including IB Times which reported 2100 crore in February 2018). Either way, doing the math, the worldwide total comes up to around 2000-2100 crore. Maestro2016 (talk) 21:01, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

But converting the gross to INR directly from CNY would give a lower error rate than converting it to USD from CNY and then converting it to INR from USD. So I suggest direct conversion.

Besides that report from IBT in February looks like they have taken all the values from Wikipedia. ~Rajan51(talk) 2:50, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

And also, as per the same report from EntGroup, Secret Superstar grossed CN¥746.76 million in China, which is roughly equivalent to ₹750 crore.[6]. ~Rajan51(talk) 4:41, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

OFX doesn't have a direct exchange rate from CNY to INR. Converting CNY-USD then USD-INR is pretty much the same thing as converting CNY-INR. Also, the exchange site you're using seems to only give daily exchange rates, rather than monthly or annual averages (which is what OFX does), so I think OFX is a better source to use. As for Secret Superstar, we already have a direct USD figure from EntGroup, so a CNY conversion isn't necessary in this case. Maestro2016 (talk) 11:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

OFX doesn't have to be our only source for yearly exchange rates. As per this source, the average exchange rate for CNY-INR was ₹9.638 per CN¥ for 2017. In this case, that gives ₹1,252.09 crore which is nearly close to the value you got from double conversion, but direct conversion is still a more reliable method for converting gross to INR. Besides, I don't trust the values given by EntGroup in USD. For example, the gross that they had given for Dangal was $216 million(₹1,400 crore), which is higher than what was given by many other sources[7] [8][9][10][11] and the one you obtained from CNY. And if you try converting Secret Superstar's CN¥746.76 million in China using the average exchange rate for the first three months of 2018, you'll get ₹756.08 crore.[12] ~Rajan51(talk) 12:44, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

The thing is that the currency exchange rate seems to change. A few months ago, the CNY-USD average for 2017 was 6.4 CNY/USD, which resulted in 1300-something crore. But in the last few months, the CNY-USD average for 2017 suddenly changed to over 6.7 CNY/USD, which now lowers Dangal's China gross down to 1252 crore. It seems the issues surrounding China gross figures is that the currency exchange rates are not consistent. In Superstar's case, we could give an average gross between EntGroup's $124M conversion (810cr) and the manual conversion you gave above (¥746.76M to 756.08cr). Maestro2016 (talk) 14:07, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

If you take up Entgroup's individual reports of Secret Superstar(CNY746.76 million and US$124.4 million) and Dangal(CNY1,299.12 million and US$216 million), you fill find that in both cases the conversion rate that they have used is very close to 6 CNY/USD which is a rate that hasn't been seen since 2014. So I think that they're using the wrong conversion rate. This is not limited to Indian films alone, I have even seen Entgroup give such singificantly inaccurate conversions for Hollywood films. So I think it will be better to obtain the gross in INR from their CNY figures. ~Rajan51(talk) 16:20, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

I've noticed that EntGroup's weekly charts generally give a higher gross than the daily charts (Secret Superstar was $117 million on its last daily chart appearance, yet $124 million on its last weekly chart appearance). From what I understand about the China box office, there are two different gross figures, with TP (ticketing prices) and without TP. So the higher gross figures given on EntGroup's weekly charts may be with TP and the lower figures on their daily charts may be without TP. It seems with-TP and without-TP figures appear to be China's equivalent of India's gross and nett figures. Maestro2016 (talk) 21:44, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

To avoid this problem, we can convert directly from CNY to INR, which will also give a more accurate result. ~Rajan51(talk) 2:42 9 July 2018 (UTC)

The CNY amount given is usually the without-TP amount, which is nearly the same as the without-TP amount in USD that EntGroup gives on its daily charts (i.e. $196M for Dangal and $117M for Superstar). If EntGroup gives the USD amount, then the CNY amount isn't necessary. The secondary currency for this article is USD, so USD figures should be prioritized over CNY figures. For Dangal, the article currently uses its without-TP amount (since the link for its with-TP amount is now broken). In Superstar's case, the issue is whether to use its higher with-TP amount ($124M) or lower without-TP amount ($117M). Maestro2016 (talk) 08:19, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

But how do we know that there are two different gross figures and if the CNY gross is the lower one? I think I'll be able to understand better if you cite a reliable source, which has some details about this. Besides, as per this report from Entgroup, Secret Superstar's total gross is $106 million, and it is the same week as the other report being currently used. The box office gross in USD for all films seems to have decreased. They might have switched to proper exchange rates. ~Rajan51(talk) 8:48 9 July 2018 (UTC)

A few possible reasons for why EntGroup has recently lowered the weekly gross for older films: The exchange rate for the past has changed and they have updated to reflect this (like I mentioned earlier about how the CNY/USD average for 2017 recently changed from 6.4 to 6.7), are applying the current exchange rate instead of an older exchange rate (which wouldn't be correct), or changed the weekly charts to show with-TP gross instead of without-TP gross (which I can't confirm). Either way, I think the best thing to do would to simply give a range of values and then give an average figure. Maestro2016 (talk) 09:20, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Can you give a reference that explains this with and without-TP gross? That would make it easier to understand what it is exactly and why it is done. ~Rajan51(talk) 10:21, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

I can't find a reliable source for it at the moment, so can't confirm if that's the reason. Either way, after thinking about it, it might be best to go with the $118M figure given on EntGroup's daily charts, which is nearly the same as what you'd get from converting the CNY figure. Maestro2016 (talk) 12:35, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Ok, converting it using the exchange rate at the time of release would give a more accurate result than using the 2017 rate. And it would be better to give the gross in CNY in the note for both Dangal and Secret Superstar. ~Rajan51(talk) 1:07, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Not sure if fxtop is a reliable/notable source. It would be better to stick with OFX for currency conversions. Also, it would be better to keep the notes short and simple, so it's not necessary to mention any currencies other than INR or USD. Maestro2016 (talk) 11:05, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

But converting it at the 2017 rate would not give accurate result as Secret Superstar released in China only in 2018. Besides RBI would be a more reliable source for INR exchange rates than OFX or CIA. And what about EntGroup's own weekly report that the film had grossed $106.7 million in China? ~Rajan51(talk) 12:14, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Actually, I think it would be best to use Wikipedia's own Template:To USD (which uses World Bank data). And as we've established above, the figures in EntGroup's English weekly charts are inconsistent and fluctuating (in Superstar's case, between $106M and $124M), whereas their English daily charts are fairly consistent and mostly match their CNY figures. Maestro2016 (talk) 17:15, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Ok, I think we can use Template:To USD since it relies on World Bank data. So then we would have to update the list using this. And we would have to update Superstar's gross with the 2018 exchange rate later. Besides, if EntGroup's weekly figures are inconsistent, then we would have to use the daily figures even for Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Hindi Medium too. Moreover, we won't know the final box office figures in China as the films would be running even after they leave the top 10. So we can get figures from Box Office Mojo. ~Rajan51(talk) 3:43, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

I've now updated Bhaijaan and Medium. Also, EntGroup is more reliable for Chinese box office than Mojo. Maestro2016 (talk) 16:55, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

But even after the films go out of the top 10 on EntGroup, the films will gross a few million dollars. So what is given by EntGroup is not the final gross figure. So I think Box Office MOJO might be useful. Or we can take the gross from the final figure in CNY if it is available. ~Rajan51(talk) 17:18, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough. I've updated Bhaijaan and Medium with Mojo, which shows an increase for both films. However, I've left Dangal and Superstar with EntGroup, since Mojo doesn't show an increase for these films. Maestro2016 (talk) 13:05, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

As per the current daily report for 18 February 2018 from EntGroup, Superstar's gross is $112.79 million. I think it would have been updated when EntGroup fixed exchange rates. And the report shows that it grossed $0.04 million on that day. So, it could not have crossed Mojo's estimate of $117.7 million at that rate. So, what do we use now? ~Rajan51(talk) 16:18, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Mojo's number is virtually identical to what EntGroup reported back in 18 February 2018, so it doesn't really make a difference either way. We could reference both Mojo and EntGroup in this case. Maestro2016 (talk) 18:35, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

I've updated Superstar's gross using just Mojo as the figure given by EntGroup is not final. ~Rajan51(talk) 2:10, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Per VRTS ticket # 2018071310003748, the dollars to crore ratio is not consistent throughout the films, causing some films with higher sales in crore to show lower sales in dollars, etc. Can someone take a look at normalizing the information presented? - TheDaveRoss (talk) 11:52, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, you're right, this problem is because of the changing USD - INR exchange rates. You might want to look into previous discussion on this here. ~Rajan51(talk) 13:15, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Hey guys, I have noticed that some sources generally considered reliable might obtain data from wikipedia. I'm not 100% sure, but this is what makes me think it might be possible.

• On 15 February 2018, IBTimes published an article which is currently used as reference for PK's worldwide gross. The article states that Dangal, Secret Superstar, PK and Tiger Zinda Hai had collected Rs. 2,122, Rs. 918, Rs.854 and Rs.560 crore respectively. These figures are exactly identical to what this list contained on that day. Normally I have observed that different sources give box office estimates which are approximately equal, but rarely match perfectly. In this case the final figures for Dangal, PK and Secret Superstar were calculated by Wikipedian editors from different sources(other than IBT) are are likely to be more inaccurate, and with the article using the same figures, there could be a possibility that the figures could have been taken from Wikipedia.

Moreover, the calculation of worldwide gross for PK at that time was interesting. The domestic gross of 489 crore was obtained from a page that also said its overseas and worldwide grosses were 303 and 792 crore respectively. And neither of the two sources used are considered reliable as per

WP:ICTFSOURCES. The overseas gross of US$53.4 million was obtained from an earlier report from IBT and converted at the exchange rate of 2016(rather than 2014 or 2015) and the figure obtained in INR(365 crore) was also contradictory to the figure of 303 crore by the source that was used for domestic gross. The overseas grosses for other films too were converted at different exchange rates because of the possibility that IBT could have obtained the USD figures from INR at different exchange rates, as explained here(I believe it would be better to find another source). The problem was that the calculated gross was higher than the grosses given by other sources[13][14][15]

which were below 800 crore. I suggest we stick to those sources which are reliable and contain total worldwide gross.

• Another instance, which made me think that Wikipedia might be used as a source was Rob Cain's article on Forbes which uses the same figure as used on Wikipedia on that day.

I don't know how we can tackle this problem of Wikipedia being used as a source but I hope you guys can think of something. ~Rajan51(talk) 11:34, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

@Rajan51: This is quite possible, actually. I know of at least two, somewhat minor incidents when this happened. Note this 2 February 2018 edit. A recurring vandal added his name, Komail Shayan, to the list of musicians involved. This was later picked up by Firstpost on 14 February 2018. There was another example where this plot summary existed for Raees on 3 February 2016, but was republished by Hindustan Times (and a few other sources) verbatim without attribution. Anyway, it would not surprise me in the least if this was widespread--it takes a lot of detective work to suss out, though. Shameful, lazy journalism. This is why I encourage all editors of Indian film articles to be hugely circumspect when dealing with financial figures, as the margin for error is massive, so getting emotionally attached to financial figures is a fool's errand. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:39, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb, As to financial figures, with no official Box Office status available especially for south Indian movies, I couldn't agree with you more. Audit Guy (talk) 02:59, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

I want to be clear that I'm not suggesting we toss out all financial figures, especially for South Indian movies, just that we don't get insane about all of the reported figures, and as a greater goal, that we don't start treating all reported figures as gospel and start creating new content that doesn't agree with what any of the other individual sources say.

Ramaleela has collected near to 80 cr. The source is catch news which the wikipedia used for many movies sources . http://www.catchnews.com/regional-cinema/dileep-s-ramaleela-unseats-mohanlal-blockbuster-drishyam-to-become-the-all-time-second-highest-malayalam-grosser-93444.html Mollywood.lover (talk) 03:32, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

@Mollywood.lover: Are there any other reliable sources that claim this amount was grossed, or are we supposed to go with the source that reports the highest figures? Because I'm sure you know that Indian film financial figures are largely estimates that fluctuate depending on who's reporting them, what their agenda is, who's paying them, and a variety of other factors. Should we always go with the highest-reported values, or just in this scenario? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:05, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

The reliability of the box office figures depends on the source and not on the producer. The box office figures given by the producers are unreliable as they could change it for personal gains. We use figures that are primarily derived from sources that are considered

reliable by ICTF. If you find a particular film to be using figures from an unreliable source(as per ICTF), then you are welcome to correct it using a reliable source. ~Rajan51(talk

~Rajan51..please answer the question that mollywood lover asked.Pulimuragan's collection has been claimed by tomichan the same producer of Ramaleela...mohanlal declared the same after tomichan published pulimurugan collection through his FB page.The admins considered that as a source and not even bothered whether he claimed it or not.The same producer claimed that pokkiriraja played 25K housefull shows..though I am a mammootty fan,i am not gonna believe that stupidity..if u can consider his say on pulimurugan,Then it should be the same case with other movies as well right? Or is it like for lal movies one rule and for others other rule?

As per the refs that we use now for Dangal[16],[17]&[18](The third report is flawed as explained here), it has grossed over 2,000 crore worldwide. But interestingly, both Firstpost[19] and IBT(India)[20] reported a total below 2,000 crore. Incidentally, these were the only two sources which reported realistic figures for Kabali and explained why the other sources got it wrong. I'm not saying that these two are right again but I believe it's worth looking into this. ~Rajan51(talk) 12:50, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Dangal's reported gross figures in recent reliable sources range from 1950cr to 2200cr, with most reliable sources reporting over 2000cr. Looking at the regional breakdown, it's clear that Dangal's gross lies between 2000-2100 cr. Sources reporting below 2000cr or above 2100cr could be considered outliers. It might be best to just write 2000 crore+ though. Maestro2016 (talk) 01:31, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

I think it would be better if we gather all reliable reports and then analyse them. Here is what we already have:

Firstpost - ₹1,957 crore [21](25 April 2018)

IBTimes(India) - ₹1,979.12 crore [22](8 June 2018)

Hindustan Times - ₹2,200 crore [23](26 January 2018)

The Statesman - ₹2,200 crore [24](3 May 2018) ~Rajan51(talk) 3:30, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Several other sources:

• Business Today - ₹2,000 crore (6 July 2018)
• Firstpost - ₹2,000 crore (4 January 2018)
• Indian Express - ₹2,000 crore (30 May 2018)

What we could do is do what we did with Kabali and give a full range of figures from recent sources (1957-2200 crore), or give an average figure between the sources (which works out to roughly around 2050 crore), or simply write 2000 crore+ (meaning 2000 crore or more). Maestro2016 (talk) 11:57, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Bollywood Hungama - ₹1,968.03 crore([25])

I think we can give ₹2,000 crore and then give the range 1,957-2,200 crore in a note. Besides, the current Taiwan gross in INR is weird. As per the report on Forbes, it grossed US$5.44 million, which also agrees with Mojo's figure. But to get a gross of 41 crore in INR, the conversion rate should have been over 75 INR/USD, while the highest in 2017 was around 67-68. Also, Mojo doesn't give grosses in USD based on the yearly average exchange rates. So, if we use the average exchange rate over the time when Dangal ran in China, we get 1,243.72 crore. Similarly, the Taiwan gross would be 35.1 crore.[26] ~Rajan51(talk) 13:36, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

We could do that, put 2000cr and then a note with 1957-2200cr. As for currency conversions, I think it would be best to just stick to using Template:To USD, which is sourced to World Bank data, rather than trying to calculate our own currency conversions from other sites, which are not as reliable as the World Bank (fxtop, for example, may not be a reliable source). By the way, the link you posted is for Indian Express, not Bollywood Hungama. Maestro2016 (talk) 14:46, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

I'm not saying that fxtop is a more reliable sources than the World Bank. What I'm saying is, since Mojo converts the grosses from the local currency to USD using the conversion rate at that point of time, using the yearly average wouldn't give us the right values. For example, converting US$193,050,870 using Template:To USD gives us 1,257.14 crore which is higher than what we get by using the average exchange rate for the time when it was running in China(1,243.72 crore). Also, Forbes seems to have used wrong conversion rates for the Taiwan gross. So, that needs to be fixed. ~Rajan51(talk) 10:49, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

The point is that the World Bank is a reliable source, whereas fxtop is a questionable source (it does not look like a reliable source). Therefore, it only makes sense to stick to the World Bank data used by Template:To USD and Template:INRConvert, rather than using fxtop. Whether it's for China, Taiwan, India, or any other currency conversion. Maestro2016 (talk) 17:13, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

2.On what basis you put the movie in list?What is the criteria for the same?All non-mammootty movies?If you tell that it will be based on genuine sources like hindu,deccan,manorama etc..tell me where these medias getting the collection?Are they going each theaters and counting money?At the end of day,we have to believe in distributors/producers figure.If producers are telling figures for promotion purpose,why it is not happening for all movies?

@

WP:ICTFFAQ. As for the other films that you mentioned, their box office figures have been obtained from sources considered reliable by the Indian Cinema Task Force. You have to support your claim that these sources have obtained the figures from their producers for us to believe it. ~Rajan51(talk

) 07:14, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

• @
  primary sources for controversial claims about the subject, we would be circumspect about the claim, particularly when there are reliable sources
  that question whether the film's figures were exaggerated. Surely if reliable sources are questioning the figures, you would want us to scrutinize the content, right? Or do we just blindly publish the figures because the producers printed it a big, blocky, gold font?
• "Are they going each theaters and counting money?" Each source has their own proprietary method for determining box office gross, and yes, some outlets have connections with theatres, from which they get rough box office figures, and that they extrapolate into wider estimates. It's an imperfect science, to be sure. Since you have many questions about how the process works, maybe you'd benefit from reading this article so you have a better sense for how inaccurate these figures can be. Note also that Wikipedia isn't the official keeper of Top 10 highest-grossing Indian films lists. If you have a problem with the way your favorite actor's film financials are being presented, then blame Indian media. Wikipedia only includes content that can be attributed to reliable secondary sources. If those secondary sources lack integrity and are just shills for the movie studios, then they're the entire core of the problem. Where is Manorama Online's Top 10 highest grossing Malayalam films of 2017 list? Is The Great Father on it? Does that list agree with other Malayalam news outlets' lists? If not, therein lies the problem.
• "If producers are telling figures for promotion purpose,why it is not happening for all movies?" Who said it's not happening for all movies? It happens for many movies. We try to ignore those figures. Case in point:
  Kabali (film)
  . The producers were reeeeeeally trying to get the world to believe that the film had achieved amazing records grossing upwards of 600 crore at the box office--or at least that was the illusion they wanted you to believe. In reality, the studio was lumping in 200 crore of pre-release income into the box office figures, and complicit sources like Financial Express/Indian Express were regurgitating these claims and using poor phrasing and factual omissions to perpetuate the confusion. Did we blindly publish those numbers? No. We questioned them. And now we have a more realistic range for their actual box office figures. (Although I still suspect Rob Cain is a promotional shill.)
• "All mohanlal movie collections are being declared by producer and then comes on medias.." Please provide evidence that the majority of movie collections for Mohanlal films are declared by the producer first, then republished by the media. I'll wait while you collect your proof.
• "Only for Mammootty movies this is happening" Patently false. See Kabali example above. There are others, like Mungaru Male, where the lead actor claimed a 75 crore gross, when most of the other outlets were comfortable with 50 crore estimates. I'm not going to dig through the entire history of Indian film edits to disprove your baseless claim.
• "Your double standard on mammootty movies are really pathetic dude" The double-standard exists entirely in your own mind. You have a point of view about The Great Father and how unfair it is that it's not receiving the financial recognition that you think it deserves. Yet you've provided zero proof that any other box office figure originated from a
  primary source, or that they have been artificially inflated or that the figures have been otherwise disputed in the media. Thus, I can only conclude that your position is entirely emotional, not based on facts. If you have facts, bring facts. I can't do anything with "this is so unfair, it only happens to Mammootty, how come it never happens to Mohanlal?" arguments. Cyphoidbomb (talk

And FYI,this trend has been started from Oppam and Drisyam time by lal and Antony and then other follows the same.

2.Still not able to understand the aunthenticity of sources like catch news...:)..u put for Oppam...If u consider manorama as a source,i can give you the link saying that Great father collected 50 crore...but again u will tell that,in that it is mentioned that producer claimed the same...:)

3.Also listen...wiki is not the end of the world and people uses it very well understand it..the reason why I am protesting is,atleast people visit this page can understand the double standard.... Hope if mammootty get an award next year and if he tell that I got an award,as per your logic u will claim that,since mammootty first told in his page that he got an award,we cannot consider that as a source...bcos..ur excuses are as childish as this....:)

If u have the guts,just tell the name of other admins who handle this page...if not just pity on u...grow up dude..

Lastly, if you don't like essay responses, don't ask so many questions next time. I have a lot of information that could be of help to you, but if your goal is to just ignore it all and say "what about this, what about this, what about this", ultimately that's a waste of everybody's time.

@Cyphoidbomb..Why are you contradicting your statement?..:) Did'nt you ask me the proof for lal movie being declared by producer?For that when i replied you to check the producer's FB page,you are telling you dont have time to research.You have time to check the sources put by others to check the credibility and you dont have time when i asked.This is what we call double standard.If there is option here to put the screenshot/picture,i can give the proof.Otherwise I can give the link of their FB page.If I put,can you check their pages?

I am talking about movies listed in this page only and not outside.Can you tell me the name of one movie which i mention that is not listed in this page? Oppam is the 3rd highest grosser in this page...lol(even the producer shocked by seeing this)...the source for that is Catchnews..even pulimurugan,aadhi,munthirivallikal..all listed in this page..what is wrong with this..?

If no admin handle this page...just mention some non malayali admin who can check our concern other than you.Let me see whether that person can understand what we say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sagar.kottappuram777 (talk • contribs) 07:24, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

If you see the list it contain most of top grossing malayalam movies in this page..Munthirivallikal,Ramaleela,Ezra etc..they have included Great father as well in the list.That is just below Munthirivallikal and above Ezra..:)..But you are telling Ramaleela,Munthiri and Ezra is fine..but not great father..:)..what logic is that dude? One more thing,If you see the details of Ramaleela in above list,it is clearly mentioned that makers are revealed..:)..but you are not considering that... Only for mammootty movies,if makes revealed ,that cannot be considered as genuine..not for others..:)

I know there is no point of telling you this..But still I will keep on putting these kind of sources so that atleast people seeing this will be able to understand..

Lastly..just erase all the discussion we had from you mind and check the above source as a normal person who doesnt have any spl interest towards an actor..you will understand what i meant.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sagar.kottappuram777 (talk • contribs) 07:37, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

For the claim that the trend started with Oppam and Drishyam, it's a misleading and a fallacious argument as the producer has never published any financial numbers for these films. "What about others" will not work here. First of all, you cannot compare The Great Father with any other films on the list. Because, the internet sources has only reported what the producers has claimed - the rib-tickling first day collection 4.31 crore, the math-defying 4 days 20 crore claim[27], and the ridiculous 50 crore. There is no single reliable source that has reported any figures other than this. Where are the sources that reports the collection updates that it reached 15 crore or 25, 30 or 40 crore ? For the all other films on the list there are multiple reliable sources that published this step-by-step collection updates. Why did the reliable news medias refused to report The Great Father gross while they reported others ? It's probably because if published, the collection numbers would not match with the exaggerated numbers projected by the producer, so they don't want that financial discrepancy. Obviously the hardcore fans will not understand this, they are too blind to be reasonable and are busy tagging whoever question their boxoffice numbers as Mohanlal supporter and Mammooty suppressor. 116.68.105.42 (talk) 09:08, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Already discussed this in previous discussions in this talk page. [28] Collection is claimed only by its producer and echoed by mammootty fans. Sources has not reported any collection other than that. For all other films you mentioned, there are multiple reliable sources reporting various collection updates. First of all, you cannot compare with those films. Great father don't even have matching collection required for a 50 crore film in tracked centres, all other films have.

Hi there, I had a question regarding the Telugu movie collections. It seems that Jr. NTR's films are not there despite Janatha Garage, Jai Lava Kusa, and Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava all grossing more than the last film on the list, Geetha Govindam (according to each article's respective infobox, anyways). Also, shouldn't Srimanthudu be lower on the list because of its lower gross compared to Khaidi No. 150? Thanks. 2604:C340:AC:1:E052:86D:F0D7:CE95 (talk) 20:22, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

In fact, looking through the infoboxes of the movies in this Telugu list, it seems that most of these numbers have to be updated per the references used in each individual article. 2604:C340:AC:1:E052:86D:F0D7:CE95 (talk) 20:31, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

This is the inherent problem with lists of this nature. Since there is no one authority on film rankings in Indian cinema, or Telugu Indian cinema, Wikipedia has somehow become the arbiter of the top 10 highest-grossing Telugu films. Where are the Telugu news outlets to weigh in on this and agree on a ranking, so that it's not up to Wikipedia? And how do we prove that there are no films in between the others you've listed that may have grossed more? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:48, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

(Those above messages were sent by me, guess I forgot to log in, whoops). I can see your point. It is rather unfortunate that Wikipedia is in this awkward position. I'm afraid I don't have a solution to those issues. Shrev64 (talk) 07:21, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

@Shrev64: You could always go through those films and reorganise them in the highest-grossing list. It's quite possible that over time some films got bumped out by accident or perniciously. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:03, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

The box office collection of two Telugu movies seems to be source-less. They are Rangasthalam and Bharat Ane Nenu. In fact, the numbers claimed were not true according to some recent articles. Take a look at a reliable source which claims the box office collection of Rangasthalam and Bharat Ane Nenu accordingly. 1. https://www.ibtimes.co.in/rangasthalam-50-day-box-office-collection-ram-charan-delivers-highest-grosser-2018-769553 2. https://www.ibtimes.co.in/bharat-ane-nenu-total-box-office-collection-mahesh-babu-starrer-completes-50-days-771352 So the exact figure of The above movies should be corrected to, Rangasthalam- 210 Crores and Bharat Ane Nenu- 225 Crores. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.164.223.142 (talk) 10:53, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
