Kollywood 100 crore club[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article written based soley on Times Of India article where they come up with the term R-100 crore club. All information is straight from the article. Nothing to show this is a widely accepted mark, or anything more then a newspaper article being made into a Wiki article. Wording is even pulled from the article itself. Also note sure why user keeps calling it Kollywood instead of Bollywood. Caffeyw (talk) 03:27, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It goes in line with Bollywood Hundred Crore Club. And Kollywood is different from Bollywood and i see no reason why it should be wrongly called as Bollywood. Do you have one? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:15, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was a typo, my mistake, either way all this article is, is a copy of the Times of India article masquerading as a Wiki article. Everything is straight from the one article, and it isn't clear that this is a standard of measure outside of the article. As for the Bollywood Hundred Crore Club I haven't viewed that page, but if it's based off the same premise (ie solely based on an article on Bollywood Hundred Crore Club and not an accepted standard) it might not meet GNG either.

The Bollywood Hundred Crore Club seems more like an accepted standard, I'm still not sure with Kollywood as I'm not finding the same type of level of notability of the term as there is with the Bollywood cousin. Caffeyw (talk) 08:09, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The term is used by extension; I see a few other uses, such as iflickz, tho not by itself a reliable source for notability , does indicate accepted usage. BTW, there seems to be a 3rd entry, Vishwaroopam; the list will necessarily be smaller as Tamil film is a smaller industry. this from the same less than reliable source shows the two terms compared, as also at here. Even such sources can establish common use. DGG ( talk ) 18:09, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: would be better to have something similar to List of highest-grossing Bollywood films for Tamil films if the sourcing exists.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 03:35, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
