Name Changes

Why is the name of the film being changed constantly? ie Namban to Moovar (a re-direct to Namban. This is why wp:Crystal Ball articles are a pain. And no refereneces, this article should probably be deleted! - 220.101 talk\Contribs 15:53, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Budget

Found many sites citing the budget of the film as 60 crores.

If we get any contradicting sources, we can change it. Till then, it seems all right. Secret of success Talk to me 11:29, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 6 January 2012

Those sites clearly mentiones that vijay was the front runner and surya was the second choice..Gemini film circuits initially signed up with vijay for the remake of 3 idiots..later he walked out due to some reasons,,then surya was the next choice.. see this http://www.sify.com/movies/how-vijay-came-back-to-3-idiots-news-tamil-lb5kpcfijbg.html

Or see this.....jst see the last paragraph .. Vijay, who were the first choice of 3 Idiots remake, have walked out of it due to various reasons. Then the makers thought of remaking it with Surya in both the languages. http://www.supergoodmovies.com/12266/tollywood/why-is-suriya-out-of-nanban-3-idiots-remake-news-details

 Done: Good work. -- Karthik Nadar 14:38, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Times of India article is from 8 January 2010, and says that Suriya was the very first person considered for the lead role, but he immediately declined. (Please note, nowhere it is mentioned that Suriya actually was signed for the film, he never was part of the film, he was just considered for the role!) Vijay then was signed and left it by December 2010. Suriya was again considered for the role, before Vijay "came back" (as Sify cites!) in January 2011. Everything absolutely correct! Johannes003 (talk) 16:07, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And please note another point: When Suriya was considered first for the role in January 2010, neither Gemini Film Circuit nor Shankar were part of the project. Vijay was only signed after Shankar was confirmed as the director and GFC confirmed as the production studio! Doubts clear? Johannes003 (talk) 16:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Still a lot confused, though looks true. -- Karthik Nadar 16:19, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That article was completely wrong.Even vijay had said in many interviews that he want to act in the remake of 3 idiots and is in the plan of remaking it.Only one article says that suriya was the front runner.Then only gemini film circuits signed up with shankar and vijay for the remake of 3 idiots.Surya was not any part of the film.No other website says that surya was the front runner.You are absolutely wrong.kindly change this wrong information.

hello zee news were the first site to wrongly claim it collected 20 crores bcoz of them only all the other sites said the same report but now zeenews themselves have reported that they wrongly informed it and they again reported the exact collection is 61 crore for first week from reliable sources.

you are total wrong it's not zee news it is entertainment.oneindia.in. If, you have no idea please check the time.

hello then wat about this reference below the next day 19th from oneindia mentioning that the domestic gross(tamil nadu gross)is only 20c in first weekend and it is not the worldwide gross.so they themselves are confused we cant use them.

Also, first week chennai box office collection is 1.37 cores, it has been confirmed by behindwoods. Behindwoods is the official BO report provider for Chennai, not Sify.

Nirosanda (talk) 15:55, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

hello nirosanda c the behindwoods link its totally wrong the film was released on 12th but collection report of them is from 13th to 15th so its totally unfair to add that collection from behindwoods and they have also mentioned in that link that Pongal special shows are not considered while calculating box office collections. but sify also included the correct collection amount from the day of release(12th) so we have added it.


  • Pongal special shows are not considered while calculating box office collections. This how the box office works. you can't add pongal special shows collections to BO

any ways sify has calculated the exact amount from the day of release 12th and they have not neglected anything such as pongal special shows so we have added sify collection report.A proper site should report the collection from the day of release of the film.sorry we cant use that behindwoods reference — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.241.18.210 (talk) 06:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Pongal special shows rate are much higher that the normal rates, since that we won't add those collection to BO. this, is the tradition so far and it's ridiculous that you trying to change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nirosanda (talkcontribs) 08:06, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

whatever the tradition maybe but a film's boxoffice collection report will be added in wikipedia only from the first day of its release not any other day after that as per wikipedia rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.241.107.163 (talk) 10:15, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
