As per consensus, the current source (Boxofficeindia.com) is considered more reliable than Koimoi.- Managerarc™ ^talk 09:43, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Dangal (film). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Diff: [1] Hyperbolic declarations like "Dangal emerged an All Time Blockbuster" have no place in an encyclopedia article. We should't be using phrases like "blockbuster", "super hit", "failure", "flop" etc. These are subjective terms that have no clear academic value. When RottenTomatoes.com finds that critical response to a movie was "rotten" we never say "the film was declared rotten". We also don't care about whatever arbitrary "crore club" the film belongs to. This sort of thing is just totally inappropriate tone for a neutral encyclopedia and it makes the encyclopedia look really amateurish and like a fan blog.

Additionally, when you add sources, please stick to reliable published sources with established reputations for fact-checking and accuracy. This would be major mainstream publications like newspapers, magazines, books, etc., not fly-by-night blogs like trueviralnews.com and bollymoviereviewz.com and even Koimoi for that matter. Anyone can create a blog and print whatever he wants. Blogs are totally insufficient as references and the content you've submitted has been removed.

You should probably also take a look at other quality film articles to see what sort of content is warranted for inclusion. The details about the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, etc. day box office figures are really excessive. We typically care about the first day, first weekend, first week, maybe one or two other weeks if there is sufficient reason to focus on them, and then the total gross. We're not here to catalog every rupee the film made. Thank you.

A. Haque Sonash (talk) 18:16, 16 January 2017 (UTC) I agree sir. Thank you.

As noted twice above, Koimoi is not considered a reliable source, so it's confusing why you submitted it again here. Please read WP:ICTF#Guidelines on sources. I also explained that we do not use blogs as references, so it's unclear why you thought djmanshi.in would be a suitable reference. Only sites with established reputations for fact-checking and accuracy should be used. For box office figures, this means mainstream news sites, typically. Thank you.
