Talk:August 15 (2011 film)

Budget
[Posted to the talk page of Austria156. I am moving this here because this is more relevant here. Sreejith, without your prior permission, but beleiving that you too would agree. Austria156 (talk) 22:41, 6 April 2011 (UTC)]

You update in the page of August 15 needs review, especially the budget. As reported by the major section of the media, August 15 is a low budget film, whose budget is 2.5 crore (25 Million) and the print and publicity cost another 50 lakhs (5 Million).

The budget of 7 crore for the film as per your update is not correct, the information given in the source seemed to be inaccurate. The film August 15 is made to compensate for the losses the producers had due to the debacle of the film Drona.

So, request you to review the edit, and update the content from the sources that more reliable.

Thanks,

 * Sreejith, I do not know what the budget of the film was. Even, I believe, you dont know it. Because neither of us did work on it. You used a reference to prove it was 25 million. It is quite possible that it is true. But you quoted only one reference. I searched throughout the web to find yet another source which asserts the figure and found none. So please try to get one more source saying it is 25 million and we will fix on it.


 * A word on film budgets. In India there is no way we could ascertain the actual budget of a film. Because there is no formal book keeping. It was true that Drona was a flop (and it was a nonsense movie too). But it is unbelievable to hear that Mammootty did a film free of cost to compensate for the loss of a previous one, when he is nearing the end of his career. (As far as I know him, he will compromise anything, but money). So as a whole your source is unreliable. It has claims which are just rumors. Also, I know that August 15 is a low budget film. So were all the CBI films, and even August 1. And the figure 25 million is more real sounding than 70 million. And I dont want to glorify Mammooty inflating the budget figures of one of his films. But we need reliable sources. So please find one more source and we will fix on 25 million. Until then we have one source saying 25 million and another saying 70 million. One of them makes some unreliable claims. So we have no other choice, but to fix on the other. That's it.


 * Thank you. You were nice enough to discuss this instead of getting into an edit war. That is appreciated. Thanks.

 * Hi,


 * My intent was only to have wiki page with a more realistic information, rather than one with someone's fantasy, which have some fancy numbers. Any how, we will wait till we have another source with a different number may be 30 Million or 50 million :).


 * I guess, we may get some more sources when half-year box office analysis are out. i will leave the numbers as it is.


 * TTYL.


 * Thanks,
