Put kalki in 5th highest-grossing Indian films
the Ott release is done lifetime collection is 1,200core Aptharital (talk) 03:10, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Aptharital The list is organised by sorting according to the lowest box office gross reported, with a range provided due to the use of reliable green sources as identified by ICTF. It's important to recognise that all box office figures published in India are estimates, and many include projected estimates. These projections often fall short of actual earnings during a film’s theatrical run, leading to reports from other sources that may reflect lower figures. Additionally, some sources do not incorporate projected results, further contributing to discrepancies in reported figures. Therefore, presenting box office figures as a range is the most transparent approach, allowing users to make informed decisions based on the variety of sources, all of which are classified as green by ICTF. Moreover, it is impractical to assign a preferential order to these green sources. The Indian media faces substantial pressure from filmmakers to report more favourable box office figures, with the intensity of this pressure varying by project. While ICTF designates sources as green if they are less susceptible to such industry pressures, it is important to acknowledge that no source is entirely free from influence. Thus, using a range provides a more balanced and accurate representation of box office performance. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 03:35, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- The collection depicted by Indian express which is 1041 is outdated as the same website Indian Express have published Kalki collection as 1100 after theatrical run. Then why the old collection depicting 1041 is still shown under the website The Indian Express. Change it and make it 5th Highest Grossing Indian Movie.

- actual collection is rs 1100-1150cr General Phoenix (talk) 05:09, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
kalki 2898 ad BO is 1100cr not 1047
General Phoenix (talk) 18:11, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Kalki BO update request per latest articles
Few of the references cited currently have different figures in their recent articles and some have quoted figures from unreliable sources.
1. Bussiness standard recent article mentions 1100cr which contradicts the article used in reference currently
2. Livemint article which is used in reference currently, mentions 1041 cr a figure taken from Sacnilk which is an unreliable source. The same author has used Sacnilk as reference here
3. Similarly indian express also cited sacnilk in their articles here and carried the same figure across other articles.
Please remove Indian express and live mint references and update collection range as 1100cr to 1200 as per below latest and reliable articles:
> Deccan herald 1100cr > Variety 1179cr, Collider 1179cr > 1200cr pinkvilla > Hindustan times 1200 cr
Kindly update across all reference or notes lists, thanks. Meowedits (talk) 06:45, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- Removed IE and Livemint sources which are based on sacnilk. Updated to 1100 cr as per Business Standard Ab207 (talk) 17:21, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Meowedits (talk) 02:44, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
Put Kalki as 6th or 5th highest grossing indian film
bo collection- rs 1100-1179cr General Phoenix (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- Lowest figure is 1041.65 and the highest figure is 1200 per sources. So due to this range, the placement is fine where it is now. RangersRus (talk) 15:14, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- please refer to above post General Phoenix (talk) 18:55, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 1 November 2024
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: not moved. No consensus to move currently. The similar requests from the same user have been processed similarly, owing to misunderstandings on the specific terms. (non-admin closure) Benison (talk) 09:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
List of highest-grossing Indian films → List of highest-grossing Indian cinema films – The revised name will clarify that the ranking is specifically for films produced by Indian film industries, with classification based on industry rather than language, as outlined in the article.

- Note: WikiProject Lists, Noticeboard for India-related topics, WikiProject Film, and WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force have been notified of this discussion. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 10:26, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- What language do you think the reader could think the title implies? Any of the languages of India? Mushy Yank (talk) 09:46, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Mushy Yank All Indian languages, I think. My intent was to ensure the title clarifies that the list provides fair representation of individual film industries through the industry-based classification outlined in the article. However, based on the discussions that occurred on the other two concurrent move requests I made, it seems I was overthinking it, and that “Indian films” is likely sufficient to represent the document. Thank you for the clarification! Anoop Bhatia (talk) 13:10, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
