Add an update in box office section: "In a month after release, the film became the 13th highest-grossing South Indian film overseas, by grossing $7.15 million (Rs 50.03 crore). Thus, Lucifer became the first ever Malayalam film to gross 50 crore in overseas box office".

Last sentence should be also added in the lead, it's a landmark. Source. 137.97.129.254 (talk) 17:51, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

200 crore box office figure

[edit]

In this edit I moved the 200 crore box office figure out of the infobox, directing readers to the box office section for more information. The reason is that we were using two sources to support the 200 crore claim, but one of them, Hindustan Times, makes it fairly clear that the 200 crore figure includes satellite, digital streaming and overseas rights, which have nothing to do with box office. Since time immemorial, box office has meant what you made in gross ticket sales. Since there is no cut-and-dry figure to put in the |gross= parameter of the infobox, I opted to remove it, since we are not obligated to provide this information when there's more to the story than meets the eye. See Kabali (film) as another example of this. Another option would be to present the gross as a range of 165-175 crore, since IBT claims the figure, and the Hindustan Times figure seems to indicate a 175 crore gross. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:47, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Other revenue has to be specially mentioned. Box office means gross generated from theaters. Other than that 200 crore has nothing to do with the box office. Exagerated collections has to be removed. Albin369 (talk) 09:53, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Official trackers updated the collection as 128 cr indian rupees. Why are you using double standard among malayalam movies. Albin369 (talk) 15:41, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Official trackers"? There are no "official trackers" in Indian cinema. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:55, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Box office

[edit]

Boosted box office collections mainly 200 crore business. Film collected 128crores worldwide. Other figures are exagerated. Albin369 (talk) 09:51, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Albin369: See this. It could be poor journalism, but without any sure way of knowing, it seems like the data should be presented in the form of a range based on what the sources say. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:28, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicting information

[edit]

@Vaishnav bk: I don't understand these edits or these edits. In the first one you added Vivek Oberoi and Manju Warrier to the |starring= parameter. In the second edit you only added Vivek Oberoi. So it's confusing how you're in conflict with your own edits. Further, I only see one actor's name on the poster, Mohanlal. Who decided that Vivek Oberoi and Manju Warrier are credited as "stars" of the film? The lede only mentions Mohanlal as having the lead role. So it seems odd that we'd have a |starring= parameter in conflict with the lede. My suspicion is that there's some confusion over what "starring" means. It doesn't mean "appearing in". It's a special credit that typically indicates the lead roles. So how are you determining who the stars should be? Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:27, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mohanlal played the lead role.... But Vivek Oberoi also played the role of main villain.... So he also have a pivotal role... Thank you Vaishnav bk (talk) 19:35, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Vaishnav bk: Pivotal role ≠ "starring". How are you deciding who receives the label of "starring"? I looked at the credits and there's nothing in the opening that I can find that lists "star" cast. And the closing credits just says "Cast". So where is the info coming from? Are you just making it up? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:44, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Plot not too lengthy

[edit]

Lucifer is a movie in which you have to pay heed to each and every points and turns in the movie. For such a movie, the plot will be excessively detailed, which is needed for the movie to be understood. Please remove the template in which it says that the plot is excessively detailed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris John 999 (talk • contribs) 04:29, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not here to give a blow-by-blow of the movie, it needs to be a succinct summaries of the important moments in the film so that readers can understand the narrative. Please see WP:FILMPLOT. BOVINEBOY2008 12:25, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 25 August 2022

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Lucifer (2019 Indian film) → Lucifer (film) – Primary film compared to Lucifer (2019 Nigerian film), based on page traffic, incoming wikilinks, no. of reliable sources - within the articles and on internet (not to mention the Nigerian film's sources are based on a single event), and the Indian film dominates in Google search too. A hatnote should be used on primary as per WP:ONEOTHER. 137.97.96.191 (talk) 12:33, 23 August 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 16:04, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). No such user (talk) 09:45, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural comment. This RM is the result of a contested request to revert the previous move. The move has been done because of new article Lucifer (2019 Nigerian film), which is heading to be kept at AfD. Basically, the community should decide whether the exception at WP:INCDAB applies: threshold for identifying a primary topic for such titles is higher than for a title without parenthetical disambiguation. The discussion below has been copied from WP:RMTR. No such user (talk) 09:45, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a request to revert a recent undiscussed move. Concur with IP, moved to correct section. Station1 (talk) 16:47, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Pinging @Bearcat who made the move on 4 August. ─ The Aafī (talk) 17:15, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Can you say for certain that the Indian film dominates Google search everywhere, even in Nigeria? – robertsky (talk) 17:26, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Incomplete disambiguation rules apply here. There can only be a "primary topic" for the plain title "Lucifer" itself — the moment any disambigation has to be applied, all disambiguated topics must be fully disambiguated. That is, as neither film can be at just "Lucifer" itself, there is no such thing as one film still getting to outrank the other one as "primary topic" for the partially disambiguated "Lucifer (film)" — if there are two or more films in the mix, then the first-level disambiguator "film" is completely off the table for any of them, and all of the films must be fully disambigated at the "YYYY film" or "YYYY country film" level. There is no such thing as "this film is more notable than that film for the purposes of getting to claim primary topic over a partially disambiguated title" — if neither film can claim the completely undisambiguated title Lucifer itself, which obviously neither film can, then both films have to be fully disambiguated by year and/or country. A film can only be disambiguated as "film" if it's the only film that needs to be disambiguated — if there's more than one film in the mix, then there's no such thing as "this film gets to be the primary 'film', while the other films have to be bumped down another rung".
      If you'd like to try nominating the Nigerian film for outright deletion at WP:AFD, then go right ahead, and if it gets deleted, then the Indian film can be moved back to just "film" — but as long as the Nigerian film still has a Wikipedia article, there's simply no such thing as one film getting to outrank another film for the incompletely-disambiguated title "film". Bearcat (talk) 17:29, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry but that's incorrect. See WP:INCDAB. There was an RfC about this a while back. But in any case, this is a discussion to be had on the article's talk page if you want to propose a move, and I can elaborate further there. In the meantime, 2 editors have objected to the move, so it must be moved back per BRD and then discussed. Station1 (talk) 17:40, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Concur with Bearcat. Partial disambiguation is very rarely justified. I agree that if there is a lack of consensus about it, the title should revert to the partially disambiguated title, but I personally suggest not using that title and suggest holding an RM discussion. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:43, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      I completely agree. It is rarely justified, but this is one of those rare cases. Station1 (talk) 17:49, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Revert, and light trout unless a completely new editor who doesn't know about RMs, if anyone wants to argue against rules, then go ahead and initiate a disruptive RM, thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:43, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
