List of highest-grossing Tollywood (Telugu) films

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The sources for tollywood boxoffice are often and almost always unreliable....I don't think this article will ever be accurate and accountable.....  ƬheStrike  Σagle  sorties  08:11, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Proof
 * South Indian cinema never crossed 100 crore mark
 * Dookudu touched 1 Billion mark
 * Attarintiki Daredi is highest grossing Telugu film
 * Eega collects 125 crore
 * Gabbar Singh collects 1.5 billion
 * From the above, you can see that Attarintiki Daredi is universally accepted as the highest grossing telugu film by collecting ~80 crore. But other sources including TOI, India Today show other movies grossing as much as 1.5 billion. When the most reliable sources like TOI become so unreliable, don't expect other sources to be better with some reporting box office of Nayak and other movies in excess of 190 crore! This list will never be complete so I hereby propose to delete it and clear the mess. See the page history and you will realize that the fans of Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan are already fighting for the first place... Thanks,  ƬheStrike  Σagle  sorties  08:19, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

South Indian Cinema never cross 100 crore mark is true in case of share collections which is considered everywhere. And Attarintiki Daredi share collections are ~ 80 crores is also true but gross collections may be 150+ crores. Know clearly what showed in TOI and India Today, then show proofs. If we maintain with proper references we can give real information. So if you can, help to improve the article.

 * Merge. Tollywood? Oh God, Don't Make Me Laugh! Not trying to be offensive in Any way, shape or form but I had never heard of Tollywood before checking the AFD list and really, it should just be merged with TRPoD's Suggestion — Preceding unsigned comment added by Titusfox (talk • contribs) 16:48, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * @Titusfox, To make others know about tollywood, the article is here. Tollywood has its own recognization which produces more films than bollywood from many years Phani M (talk) 07:47, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
