Remove Tamil from Baahubali 1&2

Why the f is Tamil in Baahubali 2? The film was made in Telugu and not in Tamil. You don’t add all languages it dubbed to in the languages. So f remove Tamil Csash7 (talk) 19:26, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of Tamil was part of a WP:CONSENSUS at WP:INB. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:51, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Baahubalu 1&2 are Telugu movies. If you have any doubts ask Rajamouli and producers, but don’t go by false assumptions and mislead users as wiki is a trusted source for many.
since Dungal was dubbed into a telugu language, Can it be called as a telugu movie? Shan79 (talk) 16:27, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Shan79: Well, the addition of Tamil was part of a WP:CONSENSUS, reached at WP:ICTF. It can't be changed here. If you want, open a new topic at the relevant page Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force. I've removed multiple similar edit requests. Comment under one section only, thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:11, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Shan79 Both Baahubali 1 and 2 have individual CBFC certificates issued by the corresponding regional office. In the case of Dangal, the CBFC certificates for the other language versions clearly state that they are dubbed from Dangal (Hindi) when shown in theaters. If you are still not convinced, you can file an RTI with the CBFC to inquire whether the films are bilingual or not. If the CBFC issues a statement contradicting their certificate, the films can be declared Telugu-only. For Indian films, the CBFC is the ultimate authority, and if their certificate states that a film is original with respect to a language, nothing else matters, even if the film has dubbed portions. Notably, in the most recent release, the film named Kalki 2898 AD was advertised as bilingual. However, when the film was released, the CBFC certificates for all languages except Telugu clearly stated that they were dubbed from Kalki 2898 AD (Telugu). Consequently, Wikipedia corrected it to reflect that it is a single-language film. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 20:14, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move the heading

Move the heading "Opening day gross collection" to the top, maybe just below the "Highest grossing films" so that it's easily noticeable. I think such a significant information should be at the top where it's easily accessible and you don't have to scroll down to the bottom. Marshyg (talk) 11:43, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism of Kalki 2898 AD collections.

Someone is actively to trying to defame Kalki 2898 AD by editing this page and putting lower collection on this movie. This must be the work of some "Samosa critic". Someone edited it to 650 crores last night while the actual value is more than 800 crores. Please someone with proper access change it to correct value and to the Samosa Critic, have a life of truthfulness. Abshekprasad (talk) 06:46, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kalki Collections

This page is loosing its credibility as source of truth. Some one is deliberately playing down kalki collections. When all sources point more than 750 cr collections, this page keep dancing around the collections incorrectly.

Kalki Collections update

I am not sure why there is separate treatment for Kalki movie compared to Jawan and Pathan, this page is losing trust as source page, when it provides preference to one hero movie and one language movie in updating the collections, unless there is multiple talk topics, there are no updates to Kalki collections. In the past with other movies mentioned above, collections get updated very quickly even before any other source do it. Kalki went past 900 crores across all areas, and this page keep stuck at 800 mark. Only after repeated pushes only moved from 600 to 800 crores.

Please refer to Kalki 2898 AD box office collection: Prabhas, Deepika Padukone film’s global collection breaches Rs 900 cr mark, all records it has broken | Telugu News - The Indian Express

Could you please update. Thanks. Sdgiblrwind (talk) 06:34, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sdgiblrwind, India Today and Indian Express used the makers as sources, which is WP:PRIMARY. NDTV straight out used Sacnilk.com, which is not reliable (WP:FRUIT). — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 07:41, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you list which reliable sources that did not use maker's comments to accept as collections for those movies above Kalki on the list? This is going ridiculously laughable logic. Even for Kalki which reliable source was used to update 800 cr collection? on your page you point to Hindu link, they don't provide any reliable cource either 2600:1700:4A3D:9130:1585:6130:B4D3:BF3A (talk) 20:46, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have replaced the link with Pinkvilla.com, which currently shows 800 crores. The logic is simple; it should be from a reliable source with no WP:FRUIT and no WP:PRIMARY. Not hard to come by because when a reliable source doesn't mention the maker or other unreliable source, that means it has been cross checked independently and hence the figures are worth updating in Wikipedia. Thanks. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 22:47, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you tell why sacnilk is not a reliable source? Is there any prior history with that site providing erroneous or faulty data? so we understand it better 2600:1700:4A3D:9130:1585:6130:B4D3:BF3A (talk) 23:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film/Indian_cinema_task_force/Archive_7#Sacnilk.com has the answer. RangersRus (talk) 00:13, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They are clearly a WP:BLOG. Nowhere in their bio they mention their sources and the numbers are highly questionable. With no established editorial team and no reliability in reporting, Sacnilk.com is definitely unreliable and should not be used at all for BO figures. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 00:35, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How come the new PinkVilla link is reliable source.
First, they too didn't mention their source. Second, the link which you updated against Kalki is WP:BLOG Sdgiblrwind (talk) 04:03, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's what we call an independent reliable source. Only box office figures published by independently verified reliable sources that has a strong editorial team with a history of publishing reliable figures are valid in Wikipedia. Thanks. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 08:54, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pinkvilla is a paid PR agency and definitely not reliable. They have been reporting producer or PR figures for many previous films and they do not have a moral approach. Can you say with guarantee they are not underreporting to suit an agenda. Yes, they have a history of publishing in Bollywood along with gossips, but they are not experts for Pan India or multi language films produced by south industry since the ticketing/charges/3D rates/single screens all policies are different. Also comscore the best trustable tracker has reported 911cr. I’m referencing some articles too and you can verify on comscore rankings.

Wiki Reader 997, If you think Pinkvilla.com is not a reliable source, please establish a consensus in WP:RSN by starting a discussion. Till that is achieved, it will be taken as a reliable source. Wikipedia community doesn't care about what I think and what you think personally. We run on consensus and if that says it is, it is. Otherwise you have to convince other editors and establish a consensus. This is not a democracy. Furthermore, ETV clearly says they use Sacnilk.com.

Okay sir, but why aren’t we considering Comscore figures. And their WW figure reflects 910cr at present. Is comscore not a reliable source for Box office reporting and if not please tell me why for future reference since it’s the most authentic compared to PR media portals or figures. Wiki Reader 997 (talk) 10:42, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, but I'm not sure of the reliability of Comscore. I couldn't find any discussion about it in WP:RSN or other talk pages. They have been used previously in films like Leo and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, but no discussion or consensus can be found for Comscore regarding box office figures. Additionally, I can't access their website either. So, if you have links for the same (rankings and discussion on the consensus), please do share. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 12:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sir, comscore tracked numbers is often cited in deadline, collider or variety. Since they recently started tracking for Indian films too, there might not be discussions. I can share you the website link, where you need to click on box office button and you will see present worldwide collections of top films in which Kalki is listed (https://www.comscore.com/Insights/Rankings). But yes, once the film has completed its run I could hopefully provide reliable articles citing comscore or any genuine independent firm. Also I want to ask, is idlebrain.com a reliable source for Telugu cinema ? I saw some discussions on RSN, If yes I would like to share some links. Thanks. Wiki Reader 997 (talk) 15:26, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wiki Reader 997, If there have been no discussions done in RSN, that means they aren't reliable yet or their reliability is not established yet. Till established, all sources are treated as unreliable. So, if there is any discussion that led to a consensus, please drop the link. If not, please start a discussion. Thanks. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 15:52, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sir, I started a discussion topic for Idlebrain.com yesterday on the RSN. Could you please take a look and help take it forward? My aim is to establish a reliable Telugu source for Telugu cinema.
