Please correct the opening day collection as Boxofficeindia.com is turning out to be a ANTI-SRK site. As it has also reported huge 20 crore less lifetime business of Jab Tak Hai Jaan as compared to other trade analysts. Now, the site has reported huge 4 crore less for Chennai Express in it's opening day itself.All the trade analyst have claimed that CE has broken opening day record but only boxofficeindia.com denying it. Please go through sources as wikipedia is meant for correct and unbiased information.

ANTI-SRK site, huh? Would you kindly provide sources to establish your claim or is it some sort of conspiracy theory put forward by you? Fideliosr (talk) 19:23, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm similarly intrigued, and amused by this in fact. If you go to the "down the years" part on the BOI website, and click on top actors, you will see a section that summarises each actor's success over recent years. There are many pro-SRK comments for the years his films were doing the best business! Is that enough evidence against Mr Gupta's claims? Factual Proof (talk) 19:45, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

That's exactly what I had told Tarandhoni only two minutes ago (on 19:43). Isn't that hilarious? Fideliosr (talk) 19:50, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

The information provided is wrong cheenai express has earned 33.12 cr ,i know that wiki follows BOI fig but why it is only done with Shahrukh movies same thing happens with jab tak hai jaan .why BOI figures in movies like Son of sardar was used BOI said son of sardar earned 80 crores but acc to wiki page it earned 104 crores why is it so?? this link show son of sardar fails to collect 100 crores and Box office india also states that then also wiki updated the other stats but in case of shahrukh movies they don't we all shahrukh fans feel like cheated kindly chnge the figures of cheenai expresss from 29 cr to 33.12 cr which is confirmed by nation tv news too please it is humble request to atleast give the other data too as wikipedia has given the stats of other sites for movies like son of sardar which BOI said earned 80 cr but wiki shows 104 cr .why is this done to shahrukh movies only Anubhav1792 (talk) 19:48, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry or Meatpuppetry

There different accounts created on 13:48, 10 August 2013, 17:35, 10 August 2013 and 15:54, 10 August 2013. Too many IPs and newly registered users. This sort of suspicious activity on this article suggests traces of sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry. Fideliosr (talk) 19:53, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Then open an WP:SPI. The truth is, you're could well be wrong: the huge Indian film openings always draw lots of IP editors and new accounts. But if you want to make the accusation, do it formally, not here on the article talk page. Qwyrxian (talk)

I've done that and notified you on your talk page already. The editing patterns of some editors are strikingly similar which couldn't be mere coincidence. Thanks. Fideliosr (talk) 08:51, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 10 August 2013

here in the jab tak hai jaan page it clearly says that Son of sardar according to BOI earned 88 cr but in son of sardar wikipedia page the figure is 104 cr .why is so ????? if wikipedia follows BOI then why it is done only in case of Shahrukh only .one can atleast mention other stats if there is a conflict Anubhav1792 (talk) 20:10, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

I'd also previously corrected Son of Sardaar page if you can go through its history, and I've done it now. WP:OSE but still the issue is over I guess. Fideliosr (talk) 20:34, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 10 August 2013

Sorry to say this as it has been repeated, but why is CE being referred to have a first day collection lower than ETT when UTV in their official statement say that it collected 33.12cr? If this is according to BOI, is there a concrete proof that the website is more reliable than the OFFICIAL figures? 182.68.185.37 (talk) 20:40, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

This cannot and should not be done as, for uniformity, we would have to change every other Hindi film's box office details. This is practically impossible due to the volume of releases every year. Factual Proof (talk) 22:10, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 10 August 2013

chennai express movie has collected 33.12 cr on its first day it is all over the national news so why u guys are giving BOI figures only.Wikipedia is considered most reliable across the globe so you should mention all the facts and conflict if any.so plz mention fig of other sites too

Edit protected requests

I've marked all of the edit requests as answered, because they're obviously all controversial. Edit protected requests are only for things that either are 1) obvious and uncontroversial, or 2) have already been agreed to by discussion. Now, the article is protected, so start talking, and use dispute resolution as needed. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:25, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Let me add a point. If I have to, I'll make this the relevant test case. Veteran editors cannot insist that there is one and only one source for a particular kind of information. Our policies (WP:NPOV is the main one) require that where there is conflicting information, we provide all of it, with due weight, verified by multiple sources. Of course, the reality is that things would be a lot better if people would stop trying to update the bloody results minutes after a new newspaper announces a new number--we'd have much much better articles if people would just wait for more solid, verified results. But I know that's not going to happen, so that means that you have to include conflicting results. And it doesn't matter if that means changing thousands of other articles; that can be done over time. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:46, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 11 August 2013

The box office section is wrong. Most other sources say the movie gained 33.12 crore on opening day, making it the highest opening day collection.

Edit requests may not be used for changes that there is not consensus for. Discuss and get consensus. Further edit requests that do not already have consensus will be considered disruptive editing. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:50, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

In this case, since it seems that box office india is the only site that is showing a different figure and every other source or official statement is showing 33.12 crore, hence this must be changed. Also if this is from JTHJ, then why is son of sardar showing 100+ crore. SOS is also present in the article bollywood 100 crore club. It is because if the movie had achieved something it shouldn't be denied recognition just because of one particular source denying it. Also CE broke the record for second day collections held by Ek tha tiger by almost double the amount.

Edit request on 12 August 2013

Hi team, This is to bring to your notice about the reference in wiki articles. consider this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai_Express here in the collection for the india: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai_Express#India_2 the data reported here has written: The film went on to collect INR29.25 crore (US$4.9 million) on its first day, thus making it the second highest opening day of all time behind Ek Tha Tiger. The above data is totally false & wrong & as it is talking about highest earning ever in india so i consider this as my duty to bring right info to you. please see the references below, in all the below links it clearly mentions that Chennai express has highest 1st day collection in India: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/box-office/Chennai-Express-beats-Ek-Tha-Tiger-on-day-one-earns-Rs-33-crore/articleshow/21741131.cms? (the foremost & biggest news site in India) http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/1872682/report-chennai-express-mints-rs33-12-crore-on-opening-day ( a very reputed site from india) http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Bollywood/Shah-Rukh-Khan-starrer-Chennai-Express-mints-Rs-33-crore-on-opening-day/Article1-1106072.aspx (from hindustan times- one of the reputed newspaper from india) http://ibnlive.in.com/news/chennai-express-earns-rs-3312-cr-on-its-first-day/413196-8-66.html (a very big media group from india) I am pointing this out because with boxofficeindia.com data someone is trying to forge the data. As wiki is based on people collaboration so it is very important for me to bring this issue out of wrong journalism and using wiki to play with the real data. Hope you will change the link (or you can give me authority to do the same) & make people aware of the fraud being done by giving wrong data to our esteemed user community. P.S: i have no association with any one, i am here to raise my voice against the wrong data :)

Also regarding BOI it is no official site so you cant keep this as official data. May be if we want to keep this data than a disclaimer with other sources link should also be provided.

Compromise made due to disruptive editing by socks

As it has been now confirmed, there were more than nine (actually three "independent" groups of) sockpuppets working on this article. These socks continued with their disruptive editing further to gain consensus in favor of the inclusion of random sources stating inflated box office figures. I guess that really weak consensus is totally void now because majority of the socks have been banned indefinitely. Need views from other editors to enforce Box Office India again for the sake of uniformity. Fideliosr (talk) 03:19, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Chennai Express was not released in ten different language-versions

I deleated the sentence:

Chennai Express was dubbed in ten different languages – English, French, Spanish, Arabic, German, Hebrew, Dutch, Turkish and Malay. ([1])

Just the French and German language areas use to dub foreign movies, but due to the minor interest in Hindi-films only few screens were released as VOSTF (="version originale sous-titres français") and OmU (="Original mit Untertitel"). But the latter dvd-releases are announced as dubbed versions. Hoerestimmen (talk) 22:09, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Critical reception

The domestic critical-reception section is insanely too long. We're supposed to give a representative list, not quotes from what (I hyperbolically say) look like every newspaper in India. It needs to be trimmed, and to concentrate on critics giving analytical statements as to the film's qualities, and not just whether they liked it or not. --Tenebrae (talk) 14:41, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Tenebrae, extremely valid point mate. I am with you in this regard. The domestic critical-reception is full of copy-vio's. Its just either quotes or whether the critic liked the film or not. There is no critical analysis in the sense of the word. Sohambanerjee1998 11:20, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Critical response

• Trim some of the quotes and explain the critics's opinion of the Soundtrack album. Can you do this for IBNLive and Rediff.com? For Rediff.com, it sounds as if it is focusing only on SPB's song. It is best if you rewrite Rediff.com's statement. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 06:26, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

 Done IBN Live and Rediff done as needed. Ethically^Yours! 12:39, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

 Done Ethically^Yours! 12:55, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Box office

• Nothing wrong here. Use the INR template, not the INRConvert one as Rupee value changes. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 06:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure as to how to use that. INRConvert lists a of params but INR has no parameter values. Maybe if you could just help? Ethically^Yours! 12:55, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

For example, the line "The film collected ₹292.50 million (US$3.7 million) on its opening day" Can be written as "The film collected ₹ 292.5 million on its opening day". I have done it for you. Do the same for all the INRConvert templates. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 15:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

@Ssven2: I don't see any apparent need to change them. It's the US $ values that may change (and that's better); the INR value remains constant, as provided from the markup. Ethically^Yours! 16:07, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Alright, it's not a big deal anyway. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 16:47, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

• "Television premiere viewings" is unsourced. Please source it. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 06:38, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

 Partly done I have removed the entire record as I did not find any RS. Ethically^Yours! 12:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

That's ok. This part is settled according to my opinion. — Ssven2 ^{speak 2 me} 15:28, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
