Talk:Bangalore Days

Reception
This film has received overwhelming positive reviews from critics according to various sources. - abhilashkrishn talk 13:21, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * there is not any source that verifies classification as "overwhelming" critical response. To leap to "overwhelming" from the sources is completely inappropriate WP:OR extrapolating from limited sources. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  02:26, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Clearly provides the citation for this claim. - abhilashkrishn talk 02:31, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * "overwhelming response at the box office" that not "overwhelming critical response." what it says of critical response is "Critics gave positive reviews" NOT "Critics gave overwhelming positive reviews"--  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  02:35, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure. I have cleaned up the claimed statement that is more suitable according to the review. - abhilashkrishn talk 02:40, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Film revenue
Though many sources reported film's estimated first week gross collections, further no reliable gross collections was reported. Then after, no weekend collections or monthly gross was reported. But a user had added a news agency report of collecting near to a whopping life time gross, which is difficult to cover for a Malayalam film, though some films have collected (say Twenty: 20, Drishyam), they have been supported by many additional sources and also with reliable weekend and monthly collection reports. But this site reported a controversial figure with no additional backup sources or confirmed news. So donot add film revenue reports without additional supportive sources. Extra ordinary claims need extra ordinary sources. Thanks 106.66.140.172 (talk) 14:55, 21 January 2015 (UTC)


 * This link says the film's first week collection was 8.5 crore. The same site gives its 12 day gross as 21 crore here. Here's another link which verifies the same (although with slightly different values). And this link puts its total gross at 50 crore. This article from Bangalore Mirror newspaper also states the same. And 50 crore does not seem an exaggerated value for a film which netted more than 20 crore in its second week. And the news was published by IANS and carried by many newspapers. As long as we do not have agencies which audit film revenue like boxofficemojo we have to rely on these news websites. I am replacing the content as of now till a consensus is reached here. [[User:Malayala Sahityam|Malayala Sahityam] (talk) 17:47, 21 January 2015 (UTC)


 * All the websites available on the internet provides different figures, as far as there is no box office auditing site for Malayalam films, it's better not to include it. Or it should be supported by atleast two or three reliable sources. Bangalore Mirror is not reliable. 106.66.138.50 (talk) 05:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

The 'extraordinary' claim is verified by two 'extraordinary' sources. Hindustan Times and Bangalore Mirror both say the film grossed 50 crore in total. And why would one consider Mirror an unreliable source? There is no reason to remove these information just because you 'think' this movie would not possibly fetch that huge amount. Also the Sify link says the film's gross 'may be' around 18 crore in the second week and IB Times puts the figure as 21 crore. Both these sites are reliable and it is suggestible we include both the values, attributing the claim to respective sources. Malayala Sahityam (talk) 06:17, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Malayala Sahityam is correct. Mainstream national and regional newspapers are default reliable and there must be actual evidence to consider otherwise. A Wikipedia editor stating "I dont believe them" is not actual evidence. If generally reliable sources differ, then we cite both and state that multiple views are held. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  06:49, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
