List of highest grossing Kollywood films

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article is based on individual sources, being a list. Considering that box office is very crudely organized in Tamil cinema, accurate stats are not available. Many articles have been victims of cherry picking and disputes on box office figures are on the rise. Taking an example of Enthiran, the first article that catches the eye of the user in this page, the 375c figure was heavily fought upon and eventually found out that the actual figure was somewhere around 250c. Similar for other films. A list has to be supported by a single source, otherwise it gives an impression that certain films may have been missed out. Further, producers often inflate budget and gross according to their own benefits and are likely to not give out good figures. The estimates they release are usually vague and may not be upto the mark. Hence the article seems unnecessary.  X.One   SOS  09:34, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: Box office figures is always a concern for Tamil films, and never exist an exact figure. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 11:34, 25 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - As X.One has stated, Tamil films have very little box office organization, and inflation of figures keeps happening. The article fails several policies, not the least of which is verifiability. (Btw, Enthiran earned just ₹250 crore? Thanks for the info.) ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 13:14, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. As long there are no official figures available, this page will always be affected by vandalism. And there are no official figures available. Johannes003 (talk) 13:44, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
