All Time Blockbuster Films in Indian cinema

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A list of films based upon what exactly? No set genre, statistics, nor reasoning for these films. Jmlk 1  7  05:53, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Conditional Delete Not being an editor of films, has there been a "standard" definition used for "blockbuster"? If not, I say delete per nom and for failing WP:NPOV. Jmfangio| ►Chat  05:58, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. What's an all time blockbuster?  Someguy1221 06:00, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The list doesn't even match the all-time grosses presented in the sources, which can only mean that the criteria are arbitrary. Caknuck 06:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not sure what an all time blockbuster is, but if such a category does exist, doesn't a category suffice? Corpx 14:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete This should be knocked right off the board because the author had the tools to write an accurate article, and didn't do so. Author's premise is that there are "14 blockbusters" (not defined, as everyone else has noted) and a cite is made to a website for that.  The first two movies on this partiuclar list aren't even in the Top 20, even when adjusted for inflation.  A good article about Bollywood's highest-grossing films would be welcome, but this one is awful.  Mandsford 16:27, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and Comment An all time blockbuster is a film which at the time made a larger profit than any other film previously made. They are not necessarily all-time grossers nowadays.  They are listed on certain websites as these 14.  The term is in current use in the Hindi film industry. There are also other articles not up for deletion such as List of highest-grossing Bollywood films and List of highest-grossing Bollywood films in overseas markets 82.36.245.146 23:36, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Doesn't this article then duplicate those lists?--Chaser - T 01:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * They aren't the same as explained. Fay06 11:23, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral and comment. Needs substantial cleanup, sourcing, and retitling, but 82.36's comment implies that the editor is aiming for something akin to the Bollywood equivalent of Closing milestones of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.  THF 23:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
