Why is the list out of order? 50.138.136.40 (talk) 05:20, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
Can we turn this to a timeline à la Timeline of the most expensive million dollar productions? Also please help me find more sources for the subsequent record-holders. Thanks! Josephjames.me (talk) 12:17, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
I removed the unfinished film 2.0 from the list. There is no sense in listing the production cost of films that has not completed production.--Charles Turing (talk) 13:06, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Even bahubali 2 is under the list which is also incomplete. Wikipedia editing is based on what the page of the movie says. We include all the movies NITHISH NADARAJAH (talk) 12:48, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
Kailash29792, Ricky81682: Can we add lists for different languages? I'll add for Malayalam here. Thanks! JosephJames 04:52, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Anyone have any thoughts on a proposed scope? Seems like the kind of page that could just keep growing forever. List of highest-grossing Indian films keeps the individual languages at a max of 10 examples, with the overview listing the top 15 films. Frankly, I think top 10 is sufficient for the overview as well. The overview on this article has 22 examples, which is just weird.
Dasavathaaram is one of the most expensive Tamil movies. In fact, when it was released in 2008, it was the most expensive Indian movie at the time of release. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/business-of-bollywood/a-rendezevous-with-kamal-haasan/articleshow/4357064.cms?from=mdr

But Kabali's budget figure was given by the producer himself in an interview with Forbes, and not by a box office analyst. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.248.198.1 (talk) 11:21, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
"But Kabali's budget figure was given by the producer himself in an interview with Forbes, and not by a box office analyst", I'm sure if you were to think about this, you would realize the inherent trouble with reprinting financial data given by primary sources (ex: a film's producer, distributor, director, actor, publicity wing, etc.) But in case it's not obvious, we have to be circumspect about statements made by primary sources, because they have a vested financial reason to fudge the numbers. In some cases they could have an interest in inflating the numbers, perhaps to attract more viewers to their project to witness the spectacle, or to make themselves more valuable as a director/producer/actor or to lure investors for future projects. In some cases they could have an interest in deflating the numbers, perhaps to reduce their entertainment tax liability or their liability to investors. Simply regurgitating what a producer says is rarely the right choice, which is why we prefer content to be derived from research performed by reliable secondary sources.

At some point, participants here are going to have to figure out whether or not it's wise to include in these lists films that haven't even begun production. For instance, Karnan keeps getting added, with a production budget of 300 crore, but it hasn't started production. Why are those figures being included? For all we know, that's just pre-release hype. Same with Randamoozham. Though sources[1][2] say that it's going to cost 600 crore, it hasn't cost a single rupee if production hasn't begun. We're putting the cart before the horse here by including huge budgets for films that haven't been made. What if the 600 crore film comes in at 100 crore? Then the film's producers get all the pre-release hype, using Wikipedia for its marketing. That's now how stuff should work here. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:27, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Fylindfotberserk, yeah. Also, what do you think about the previous proposal to exclude the films under production from the list (everyone who participated was in favour, notifying Kailash29792 who is active now). Looking at List of most expensive films, it does not include any films under production. While I'm okay with the films under post-production/the ones close to release but would support removing them altogether to maintain consistency. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:23, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
2.0 Rs 400 Crore Lyca Productions Baahubali The conclusion Rs 250 Crore Arka Media Works Please add this V99991111 (talk) 11:21, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
There is no proper research about list of most expensive indian films please do explain at the start does it include film making cost, casting cost and print and advertising cost V99991111 (talk) 09:14, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
There is no Kannada version for Randamoozham. The director mentions all the versions here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=nsc5LiEgLjw?t=263 — Preceding unsigned comment added by PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk • contribs) 11:23, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Allow me to edit the currency data which is falsely converted from rupees to dollars . 175 crore rupees is equal to 27 million dollars , but this article mentioned it as 31 million dollars. RtejanS (talk) 06:11, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
THe Telugu and Hindi versions of the 2010 film Enthiran were DUBBED from its original Tamil version. Please refrain from adding those as official languages of production. The sequel isn't yet released. PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk) 06:30, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

The budget of Thugs of Hindostan as sourced from this is Rs. 220 cr excluding Print & Publicity costs of Rs. 20 cr. However, on this page, the higher budget of 300 cr from non-trade sources is used. On the other hand, TOH's wiki page gives Rs. 220 cr as the budget. What is the accurate budget for this film? --Reo kwon (talk) 14:08, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
Following up this edit, director Shankar quotes 2.0's budget lower than the current 570 crore:
As far as I know, the budget stands between Rs 400 to Rs 450 crore for the film alone. In addition, the producers have spent a huge chunk for the publicity and other production costs
Then there are other sources: this source which says the budget is 400 crore (anonymous to India Today) while Rajnikanth at trailer launch said its as high as 600 crore. Perhaps we should go for a range with footnote explaining the discrepancies. @Fylindfotberserk and Anandsharma607: -- Ab207 (talk) 14:57, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
Please add Vikram film in this list. Madhesh Elumalai (talk) 10:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
In many lists like List of tallest buildings, we highlight those that were the tallest at time of completion. Could we do the same here? Eg. Enthiran is more significant for being #1 in 2010 than for being #13 today. Jpatokal (talk) 01:57, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
The table is getting too gib should we limit the table to 30 movies or at max 35 movies only? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Repto79456 (talk • contribs) 13:08, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
