Talk:Hanuman Ansh

Request for AfC review – Hanuman Ansh

Hello,

Could someone please review Draft:Hanuman Ansh? The article concerns an upcoming Indian biographical film and contains references from reliable published sources. Any feedback regarding sourcing, notability, or formatting would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. ~2026-35960-90 (talk) 10:29, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

More reliable sources added

I have updated the draft by adding additional reliable, independent sources to improve verifiability. Updated news article references with newer and more accurate source links. Added the film's official website as an external reference where appropriate. Added the official Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certification link to verify the film's certification details and runtime. Replaced or corrected outdated URLs to ensure that all references are functional and properly support the information in the draft. These changes are intended to improve the draft's compliance with Wikipedia's verifiability and reliable sourcing guidelines.

Why you delete crew members name ?

Executive producer, VFX Supervisor and others. Kindly update source and links but do not remove crew and cast name. Please update source Masterstrock3 (talk) 06:01, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

References

This looks pretty refbombed with a lot of questionable sources (especially Times of India) and probably needs an overhaul. I'll try to work on it later if no one else does, but could an editor who's fluent in Hindi add translated English titles to the Hindi sources? That helps readers (and editors) who don't speak it at least have some idea what the source is about. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 00:43, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

We don't need to update proceeds every single time they sell a ticket. Most of the sources that have been used to support newer figures are questionable. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 17:53, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

Don't give reference of fraud figure of bollywood hungama.

Please don't show fraud and propegenda figure of bollywood hungama website. Use right figure of sacknik, Times of India, Ndtv collection figure. Bollywood hungama is body of propegenda other films collection data. So please never give false refrence of bollywood hungama KOTHARI44 (talk) 03:23, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

Sacnilk is not reliable either, per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force/Archive 7#Sacnilk.com. TOI is also questionable per WP:TIMESOFINDIA, especially regarding entertainment. AfC won't accept it. Bollywood Hungama appears to fall under WP:USERGENERATED also and I've removed it. We don't have any official status for NDTV but it appears fairly reliable to me and that's the version I've been reverting to. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 04:39, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

Actually, I'll add a caveat to that - other NDTV.com links have utilized values from Sacnilk so they've been removed under WP:FRUIT, but the current link from NDTV Profit seems to be the most reliable source. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 04:46, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

I was able to find a current figure from WP:INDIANEXP instead. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 04:54, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

but Bollywood hungama is totally fraud and agenda body of bollywood.compare to sacknik, toi, indian times and ndtv me s more reliable because they also national wise reliable and trustworthy news platform but bollywood hungama is totally fake agenda and propegenda web KOTHARI44 (talk) 08:20, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

No, user generated content isn't reliable. I removed Hungama as well - The Indian Express looks like a solid reference and it's more up to date then the NDTV Profit article. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 09:16, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

Note that the TOI reference I just removed again is also quoting the Sacnilk figure, like many others. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 11:29, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

@Wester2 please see this re: Bollywood Hungama. I don't think adding that it's the 24th highest domestic gross is particularly interesting anyway compared to the other records - if you can find a more reliable source to confirm it I don't object to leaving it in (with minor CE for grammar), but if that's the only source I'd prefer to remove it. I'm sure there will be more reporting as it continues to run and we can always add it back later. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 14:41, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

I added the record because Hanuman Ansh was listed on 24th number in article List of highest domestic net collection of Hindi films and I simply copy pasted. Sorry if I gave any wrong reference but it was in good faith. Will make sure to find better references next time Wester2 (talk) 15:58, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

I understand - that's why I brought it up here instead of just reverting. It's actually listed as #19 there; it's the reference number that's 24. There appears to be some disagreement over the reliability so for now I'll clean it up and leave it included with a {{better source}} flag. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 16:11, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

You do realise that slandering a reputed media publication widely used for citing box office of Hindi-language film articles on Wikipedia by calling it "fraud", "propaganda" (misspelled by you) and "fake agenda" without having any iota of evidence is defamatory in nature? You are demonstrating poor conduct. Honeybrowneyes (talk) 17:31, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

This obsession over exact figures by numerous accounts is a bit tedious, considering all the numbers are within the same ballpark (excluding vandalism). Nothing is going to be updated by the minute anyway - it's going to continue to increase until the theatrical run ends, and updating once or twice a week when we have reliable sources that agree seems like it would be reasonable.

The article is under semi protection now which should help calm things down, in any case. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 18:10, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

Sacnilk or any source that gets its report from sacnilk is unreliable. Bollywood Hungama source stays and if you have any reliable source that does not gets its report from Sacnilk, you are welcome to add it in addition to bollywood Hungama. You can create a range for the boxoffice numbers. RangersRus (talk) 19:07, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately the figure you used from Bollywood Hungama is only the domestic gross, not worldwide, which they have not included on the page, so we'd either have to add up their totals from various countries (possibly WP:SYNTH given the exchange rates involved) or use a different source. The best one I could find the other day was from The Indian Express, which is confirmed reliable per WP:PRS. Another discussion elsewhere mentioned the possibility that they might utilize Sacnilk figures without mentioning it directly, which is unfortunate, but we can't be mindreaders, and the figure they gave is different from the one Sacnilk (and derivatives) appears to have given, so in this case I believe it's the most accurate number we have at the moment and I've restored it for the time being. No objection to reinstating a Hungama figure if they add one for worldwide gross. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 01:19, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

actually no the Indian express can't be used as its still reporting from Sacnilk. Its still unreliable and using such source gives other editors a reason to add similar sources reporting from Sacnilk. For time being till the gross figures are out, we can add the net collection and put in brackets that its just a India net collection. You can also continue to look if some source comes up that gives gross figure without any mention of Sacnilk in the article. It should come up one day or the other. RangersRus (talk) 02:00, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

That article doesn't refer to Sacnilk, and as I said the figure itself is different from what Sacnilk et al reported. Whether or not they've used Sacnilk numbers elsewhere isn't relevant. As long as they're considered a reliable source their own independent data should be acceptable. If that's under question then a new discussion on their reliability needs to be opened, but for the time being I'm relying on previous determinations. There's too much contention in this subject area to be swayed by individual opinions (see above). ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 02:27, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

the article clearly mentions sacnilk and if you look at the sacnilk report of day 47, the gross figures are exactly the same as shown in Indian express, 366.45, and its clear where Indian express got the report from. . Like I said early, its not the Indian express that is the problem. Its where they are reporting from and its Sacnilk. We have been replacing sources that reports from Sacnilk that were deemed unreliable by multiple editors during discussions and has remain the standard. RangersRus (talk) 02:58, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

You're right that it does mention Sacnilk father down in the article for a different figure, which I missed earlier. And the gross figure from the direct Sacnilk link is (confusingly) different from the other Sacnilk-derived sources that were added at the time, which is what I'd compared to. I'm not sure how often they update - perhaps that's the reason for the discrepancy.

At this point given that all of the available sources are currently being debated for reliability I'm rather inclined to just remove the parameter entirely until we can reach a consensus. If we utilize the Bollywood Hungama figure I'd like to at least add a note explaining that it's only the domestic figure, to help avoid misleading people. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 03:07, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

yes that is what I suggested earlier to add in brackets stating that its India net collection. RangersRus (talk) 03:11, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Seems to be our best option at the moment. Apologies for misinterpreting the other source. I'm going to go update the list article (which has also had numerous unsourced changes). ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 03:48, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

@RangersRus thoughts on using Koimoi? They appear to have independent tracking from what I can see and the figure is different from the one currently listed by Sacnilk et al. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 06:38, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

koimoi was also declared unreliable through ICTF consensus. RangersRus (talk) 13:21, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

I've seen Pinkvilla utilized elsewhere too, but that also only gives a domestic net. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 06:44, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Pinkvilla used to give much more than just domestic boxoffice. It used to give and still gives, worldwide gross, not just for Hindi but for South films as well. Pinkvilla was reliable till last year when it was changed to unreliable through wp:rsn discussion. RangersRus (talk) 13:23, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

This particular article only included domestic, but it's moot if it's no longer reliable. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 01:31, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

koimoi was also declared unreliable through ICTF consensus.
— User:RangersRus 13:21, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

I've raised the question on the other thread about sources, because I'm not convinced by any of the discussions they cited. Very little actual evidence given for most of the determinations. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 01:30, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

hanuman ansh box office collection is not updated. this figure is older.

I edited twice yesterday,the right figure of box office collection of Hanuman Ansh movie. also I given reference from Times of India the renowned media partner of India, so my question is why you removed it and again you put older figures? This can create wrong information about movie. we want that people should get the info real. SKoswal (talk) 07:03, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

So what is the newest figure? Sikhpride38 (talk) 12:33, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

@Sikhpride38 it's more then 377 crores. for reference see times of India links. thank you for your reply sir. SKoswal (talk) 12:56, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

Sacnilk or any source that gets its report from sacnilk is unreliable. Bollywood Hungama source stays and if you have any reliable source that does not gets its report from Sacnilk, you are welcome to add it in addition to bollywood Hungama.

Please update world wide Gross fogure

Update World Wide Gross figure Day 50 is 381 crores. KOTHARI44 (talk) 04:47, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

@KOTHARI44 yes. world wide collection mandatory to give. I don't know how this page accepts such wrong info always. world wide it's more then 381 crores. it only happens with our sanatani Hindu Movies. they want to put on limits like this.. like they have fear because this movie making history already. SKoswal (talk) 04:56, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

yes bro anti sanatani people communist manipulating this page intentionally ~2026-51856-19 (talk) 05:05, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

I would advise both of you to read WP: ASPERSIONS. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 06:00, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

@ChompyTheGogoat I suggest, please just update world wide collection. this is only what we want. so simple. 😄 SKoswal (talk) 11:37, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Please just provide a reliable source. I've looked extensively and spent far too much time debating the merits of different sites. Unfortunately we just can't use most of them. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 11:43, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

@ChompyTheGogoat you are reliable only on single source. there are so many media channels and box office collection report providers, I am feeling sad to know Wikipedia don't get sources of the world wide box office collection of the Hanuman Ansh movie.but common people easily getting this info on many popular media houses and websites. Wikipedia should consider to show us info first before all sites. as we have trust on you, so we can expect. SKoswal (talk) 16:40, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

I am not reliable on anything, which is why I am not using myself as a source. People are free to look up any other sites they want - we can only include information here from those that we deem trustworthy. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 01:07, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not run by your aunty Sanatani Lol, it runs on rules and protocol. ~2026-52158-82 (talk) 20:36, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Provide sources for the information, not just personal commentaries. Sikhpride38 (talk) 09:32, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Please update world wide collection amount of the film.

Please update world wide collection amount of the film. This will provide the actual data. Thanks ~2026-51906-87 (talk) 04:55, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

bro this movie completed more than 383 crores worldwide some people do show less amount . I think this conspiracy against our sanatani movies. ~2026-51856-19 (talk) 05:08, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

I would be happy to update the figure if you can provide a WP:RELIABLESOURCE to confirm it. I have so far been unsuccessful at finding a more accurate source that is acceptable under Wikipedia standards. Bollywood Hungama has unfortunately not provided a worldwide gross estimate. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 05:59, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

@ChompyTheGogoat: How about this Bushmaster26 (talk) 14:19, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

India Today always gets its report from Sacnilk. If you look at day 49, , you can clearly see it. The numbers for day 50 also match Sacnilk so its clear. BUTTTT, even though we know where India Today got its report from, there is still no mention of Sacnilk in Day 50 article. So, what step to take here? Its complicated. But source is still problem especially since we know the source of the report. Let's hope for a better source to come up. RangersRus (talk) 15:45, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

here is a good reliable source that can be used. RangersRus (talk) 17:25, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Good find! ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 01:08, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

@RangersRus: How about this If no other article by Vibha Maru about the films box office cites sacnilk, this one would be great as it gives 370 crore figure. Bushmaster26 (talk) 04:09, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

Hindustan Times does cite Sacnilk and it's again the same number. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 04:28, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

Ironic: ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 04:34, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

wrong sources of box office collection report being approved by you.

you always talk about reliable sources of box office collection reports. and now you approved the wrong figure of Rs.340 crores worldwide collection. the right figure of box office collection for Hanuman Ansh movie is Rs.389.85crores worldwide. if we update the same then you have problem with the sources we add like, times of India, Indian Express, etc. SKoswal (talk) 04:35, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

Yes, the sources are the problem. Find me better ones per WP:RS and I'll update accordingly. In the meantime, please stop asking the same question repeatedly or I'll seek protection for this talk page as well as it is not constructive.

— RangersRus (talk) 17:25, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

I think from the wording there the 340.7 crore figure is just for the domestic gross, plus the US$3.5 million international gross - is that your interpretation as well? They give $35.5 million as the conversion for 340.7 crore and theoretically I think it would be ok to combine 35.5+3.5 as just basic math without getting into OR/SYNTH territory, but unfortunately they don't give the crore conversion for the international gross and I'm still of the opinion that we can't do conversions ourselves, which leaves us still unable to state a worldwide gross in crore from this article. I've used the 340.7 figure for now since it's a step up from the domestic net. Given the publicity it's getting hopefully more reliable sources will continue publishing updates we can use. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 01:28, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

bollywood hungama has finally posted world wide figure. Updated the page with latest figure. RangersRus (talk) 13:30, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

That's good. I'm still not fully convinced on reliability for any of these, but going with established consensus is our best option for the time being. Thanks for updating. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 13:42, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

(For what it's worth, I did check the above SYNTH conversion and got about 374 crore per the Variety figures, so we're still dealing with a fairly wide range depending on source and exact time of reporting.) ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 13:53, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
