The great father movie box office collection
http://www.kboupdates.com/2017/04/here-is-the-worldwide-gross-of-the-great-father/

The information shared on the Wikipedia page of the great father movie is not officially confirmed. It says the movie collected over 10 crore rupee in two days. Which is incorrect and also no official announcement has came out. Kindly remove any incorrect information updated on the page which spoils Wikipedia reputation. Thank you. Santhoshkumarpr01 (talk) 04:06, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅ - I removed most of this content here. But you should beware of absolutes like "officially confirmed" because Indian film financials are full of lies, and the lies start at the "official" sources like directors/producers, etc and filter across the media. We also don't use the claims made by primary sources (like directors, actors, producers, etc) as they would all have a reason to inflate the data. All data about Indian film financials should be taken with a grain of salt. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:33, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi,

Please update this film becomes fastest Malayalam film to rake in Rs 20 cr

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: Unclear why this is worth changing. 20 crore seems like a totally arbitrary milestone. Just because the trades report some new "record" doesn't mean that an encyclopedia needs to repeat the information. Everything is a record if you establish the right goalposts.

Box office report is not accurate
The box office report is on hold due to the case given by MFC the actual box office report is under investigation by box office trackers. So please remove the collection report or add the informations above Darshittk (talk) 17:07, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Gross numbers
I think it would be better to leave out collection figures for the movie, as almost all the sources quoted mention primary sources as their source for the numbers.  Jupitus Smart  05:38, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The earlier approved source for a gross of 25.26/20 crores says it derived its numbers based on Mammooty's Facebook post.
 * The other figure of 4.31 crores mentioned as the first day gross in the beginning is also sourced from another Facebook post by producer Prithviraj Sukumaran as can be evidenced from a reading of the sources ( and ).
 * Other reliable sources have also questioned the veracity of the numbers and rubbished the claims as possible propaganda ( and ).


 * As was explained to you here, we don't use primary sources for controversial claims about a film's gross. So it's unclear why in this edit you would force the disputed content in. You need to discuss this with Jupitus. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:04, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

The last sentence in the lead "The film was released in 202 screens, 958 shows (including late night shows)" should be changed to "The film was released on 30 March 2017". The show count is revealed by the producer himself, making it a primary source. Also "(including late night shows)" is unsourced. After all, what is its relevance in the lead. 112.133.248.3 (talk) 08:18, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

 * I can't read Malayalam and Google Translate doesn't help me much. According to at Talk:List of highest-grossing Indian films, the 50 crore claim in this article seems to be coming from the producers. Is that correct? If so, then we should not update based on that figure, as the producers constitute a primary source. We need figures that have been independently verified.

Release section, this film is not the biggest release in Malayalam. Pulimurugan was released in 214 screens. Also it is 202 "screens", not theatres. The TOI source is wrong. Refer the theatre list ads of both films. Or here are some other sources, ,. Also the entire box office sections is cited with primary sources and other sources based on it. 103.15.255.246 (talk) 13:12, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Faizypanamkavil (talk) 11:51, 17 June 2017 (UTC) As per my knowledge the first day collection of Great father is 3.57 Crore not 4.31 crore if you can check the following link https://www.topmovierankings.com/blogs/highest-first-day-collections-in-malayalam-industry) and this would be the correct one because the screens are very less while comparing with Kabaali and Pulimurugan and also as of date it is just reaching 50 Crore.
