Cinestaan is not a valid source[edit]

The film has now been labeled a flop. Updating the box office section with the final collection numbers against the budget with citation from Times Now.

The cinestaan website is not a valid source to use as citation for the budget of any film. Noted film analyst Komal Nahta has revealed several times that the budget for this film is 60 Crore, not 25 crore. Please stop using Cinestaan as a source.

By the very definition, this film is in fact a box office bomb. A simple google search shows that this film has overwhelmingly negative reviews. That coupled with an audience rejection of the film is what caused the massive flop. That new change in the summary is entirely justified. --TransportationPHD (talk) 03:18, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@TransportationPHD: You need to include sources that make those points, not just your view. On Wikipedia, that's called original research / synthesis and shouldn't be used as a basis for edits. Also, the lead is a summary of what's in the article, so any characterization of the review section must be based on what's there and sourced. Ravensfire (talk) 13:10, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ravensfire: I agree with the sentiment regarding the critical reviews. Perhaps that can be left as "mixed", however this films' box office revenue of 10 crore against a 60 crore budget classifies it as a box office bomb. I will change to reflect that with a citation, but will leave in the portion regarding "mixed reviews." --TransportationPHD (talk) 19:34, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TransportationPHD, Generally, Wikipedia prefers to avoid the terms like "blockbuster", "bomb", and just presenting the base information to the reader and let them make the decision. If the term is used, it needs to have a source that explicitly uses the term and attributed to that source. I'm glad you removed the parts of your edit that weren't supported by sources, but would still prefer to see everything sourced in your edit. Please note that your edit was reverted by another editor for these same concerns. Yes, I know that other articles do this - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - the answer is not to keep doing it wrong, but to make things right one article at a time.
