Budget

edit

I'm confused about the budget. This source says it's 88 crore, but this source says it's 115 crore. The latter seems awfully high. Anyone have any thoughts? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:16, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Welcome back world wide weekend gross is not 72.It seems so as you have not included the net gross (India) but has just calculated overseas gross with domestic gross.Worlwide gross is approx.90 crores as per Koimoi.

  Not done: The two sources cited give worldwide figures of 72.38 crore and 68.68 crore - so the current figure in the infobox is too high.
If you have an alternative source, please cite it and ensure it is a reliable source to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 12:24, 8 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Although the 90c value is supported by this reference, I've removed it since it is not consistent with these other references which say 72.38 crore (IBTimes) and 68.68 crore (Hungama). This is exactly the problem with everyone trying to clamor to add the latest data--they are all estimates. I think we should omit the value until the box figures stabilize, which sadly means that people will not be able to use this article to promote the film. Thoughts? Arjayay? TheRedPenOfDoom? Anyone else? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:15, 8 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
we can remove it from the infobox which is supposed to be for bite-sized easy-to-convey information and provide a range in the body text "estimates range from WWW reporting X(footnote) to ZZZZ reporting Y(footnote)" since this is not bite-sized easy-to-convey information - it has important nuances. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:22, 8 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Reasonable. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:30, 8 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Concur, but think the infobox needs a "see "Box office" section" or similar note, to avoid repeated additions of some editors "preferred" versions - Arjayay (talk) 18:40, 8 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
I would agree to that. I also want to point out this editor's recent changes, where they removed the Estimation template, removed the BOI budget data and reference, etc. I will also point out that their analysis in the Box Office section is problematic because in addition to removing language that makes it clear that these are estimates and approximations, they're using a jumble of different sources to make proclamations about day-by-day box office takes, which seems like synthesis to me. This is one of the reasons why I mentioned at WP:ICTF that we should probably just pick one or two "reliable" sources for all Indian cinema articles and stick with them for box information. If the values are all estimates, then picking your Day 1 take from IBTimes, your Day 4 take from Hungama, and your overall gross from Koimoi seems like a foolish way to provide readers with information. At the very least, none of the numbers will ever add up properly. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:59, 8 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: as you have not requested a specific change in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
More importantly, you have not cited reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 11:34, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
