880:. Synthesis refers to original research- i.e. "improper editorial synthesis of published material to imply a new conclusion, which is original research performed by an editor here." But we are not implying ANY new conclusion, rather we are just summarizing the trend of what most of the individual reviewers themselves are leaning towards. You say: "We cannot be sure we are counting every review the film received in its lifetime." But that is the point - we don't need to. Most of the major reviewers release their reviews on or before the film actually releases; this is intentional so people can know what they are getting into. So we just need to read and understand the majority of them, not necessarily ALL of them. I feel like you are trying to make exceptions and be all-inclusive so be fair, but in fact you are also being unfair by not allowing a general statement as to the reception to be made. If you only accept that different outlets gave different responses to the reception itself, you are not accurately summarizing the reception of the film, but just that people were confused about it. It makes much more sense to observe the reviews rationally and make a few general statements - which again is not synthesis as we are not arriving at any different conclusion.
931:"because we are saying that while MOST of them are poor (not all), there ARE some that disagree": This is exactly our dispute here. We don't know if the film received what kind of reviews. (Common sense aside since I explained above it is not feasible). It isn't the reviews which disagree on whether the film recieved mixed or negative reviews, it is reliable Indian newspaper publications who are aggregating the reviews to reach the conclusion that are in disagreement. We can't do this, we aren't a source. If we say most reviews were "poor", then we have sources that state the reviews were overall "mixed", and vice-versa. In this confusion, it is necessary to list both opinions systematically. Yes, the reader should be able to do so, but only if all sources agree on a definition. The reader can be prseented with both contrasting aggregatings. It's what is done most of the time on Knowledge since Knowledge doesn't have an opinion of its own. If other reliable sources differ in opinion, Knowledge isn't the place to resolve their dispute. On Hollywood film articles, it's usually normal to list Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and ComScore. What's the harm in doing a similar thing with newspaper aggregators for Indian films?
2128:, we can discuss the issue here. I personally have only been using whatever term other users had already written out. As in, I have preference for neither and can go with whatever is acceptable. But looking at most of the sources, they only type out the number (i.e. 123 crore) and don't specify either Net or Gross - although since they are rough estimates anyway (and I'm guessing trade reports get their numbers directly from distributors/agents, who only count the cash they get and probably don't deduct tax) - they probably are gross figures in any case. So we can simply do that in the article as well - leave out net figures in general and assume Sources are talking gross, unless they specify otherwise. As for use of the word 'gross,' as a verb, according to both Merriam Webster and Dictionary.com, you're right that it refers specifically to income before any tax or other deductions - and not just any income received- so it would indeed not make sense to say "the film grossed 123 crore net."
742:, you added that the film received poor reviews, "but" media outlets are divided on the topic. I am afraid it makes no sense. Knowledge reports media outlets and do not give one view more weight. From where are we getting the feeling that the film received poor reviews? I mean there are like many newspapers and 3 says the film gets negative reviews and another three says the film got mixed reviews then we need to respect both newspapers views and not give our own unsourced interpretation of the situation based on the 5-6 reviews in that section. In case we are not sure, the best thing would be to present the info directly to the readers and let them decide. I am sure you must be having some explanation, which I await. Thank u.
1648:(Edit: I have found that the earlier outlets who posted 'mixed reviews' have all posted new articles saying 'negative' - it is nearly unanimous. Please see my talk with Blacku22 below. I may also post this on your talk page if needed.) Here is a second go, below; haven't published it yet as it needs to be finished (i.e. adding examples). I tried to make it more neutral and succinct in bullet points. Admittedly it's not brief visually but people can read the points fairly easily I think. I find it hard to narrow it down further as to be fair to both viewpoints we need to reasonably elaborate on the arguments. What do you think? Please make suggestions or even correct it yourself if you like. Thanks
787:
reviews themselves. This is how it is with MOST film articles, particularly Hindi ones, on
Knowledge. That is not being unbiased or interpreting it our own way - because for example if most reviewers give the film 1 to 2 stars (and I think that for Indian films, considering stars is valid because so many official Indian reviewers use it intentionally -i.e. Rajeev Masand, Raja Sen, etc), and only a handful give it more than that, it can be said within reason that the reception was poor. So we are objectively aggregating the reviews ourselves, within reason, and not interpreting it subjectively. The question becomes, well, what is then considered 'poor?' Because 2.5 feels more average than poor.
1837:
said above there is always going to be someone who either doesn't agree or will phrase things in an ambiguous way. After a certain point, we must learn to read in between the lines. You posted these original 5 sources as saying they were mixed; two days later and all of them have stated they were negative. That makes all 9 sources we have listed in the
Critical Reception Section, as calling it 'Negative.' And yet you are STILL not allowing a summary to be drawn for the sake of All- God knows how many- news outlets to come into unison? This is foolish and quite frankly, abandoning reason at this point. The Knowledge Guidelines, I'm sure, are not meant to be this rote and stifling.
824:, so I am removing that for now. It's boxofficeindia.com that is reliable. It should be recognized that we cannot aggregate other reviews on our own; it's the job of the journalists to do so, when we do it, it's simply synthesis. We cannot be sure we are counting every review the film received in its lifetime. Yes, I certainly wouldn't feel okay with "mostly positive reviews", but I certainly won't feel "mostly poor" is a better option either for those very arguments you have presented. The extra 'mostly' is simply a grammar clause and will be discounted for, it's like stating the film received poor reviews while we have newspapers and reliable sources which dispute this. The

and can be changed with a little research- the important thing is that it is THERE; do you not take issue with the fact that it states outright that the reviews were positive (or mixed)? I don't think only focusing on aspects of production is fair because there should be SOME kind of statement that summarizes the overall critical feel of the movie. The reader should not have to minutely read every paragraph to figure out the jist of what is being said; they should be able to immediately understand if the reception was mostly positive, mixed, or negative - if we cannot reasonably admit something like this then we are dismissing a major point of film criticism.

reviews, but others outlets say the reception was mixed, we cannot for ourselves outright state either. But I think this doesn't make sense, since news outlets may not make up their minds and agree anyway, they may always differ. Instead of looking at what outlets think of the reviews, we should look to the reviews themselves and reasonably assess them. Even though Hindi films don't have strong aggregators like Rotten
Tomatoes, it doesn't mean we should rely on news outlets to aggregate them as they may be biased.
2362:? Since IB attributes its information to Adarsh/Hungama, we can consider the latter more reliable. So the range should ideally be between 204-211 crore. Of course, that isn't much of a difference or a really pressing issue, and the film financials are almost sure to change tomorrow considering it is still running. I think the primary difference is because the higher BH source is using estimates for today's gross (as apprx), while the other BH source is only using confirmed sources, ie. figures till yesterday.
284:
1189:"In many cases, there are multiple established views of any given topic. In such cases, no single position, no matter how well researched, is authoritative. It is not the responsibility of any one editor to research all points of view. But when incorporating research into an article, it is important that editors provide context for this point of view, by indicating how prevalent the position is, and whether it is held by a majority or minority."
761:: good that we can move the discussion here. Before I begin my argument, I would like to state that the IBT, International Business Times, who you earlier said had posted a 'mixed' reception, has now officially stated that the film has received "negative reviews" in a newer article. If you read the entire article, it goes on to emphasize the negative (not mixed) reception specifically from the critics:
214:
1791:"Perhaps, this drop is a result of negative reviews and word of mouth publicity orelse the dip wouldn't have been so massive, a 45 percent dip in numbers to be precise...On one side the numbers are great but on the other side the critics are equally disappointed and are calling out the film. Do you think negative reviews are reason why the numbers have dropped so drastically on the second day?"
190:
920:
sources do not necessarily mean notable critics, they can be unknown people writing officially for known reliable newspapers. These people IB Times quote are those critics whose tweets themselves have some reliable value. But they do not necessarily represent every review. And, oh, come on, that
Twitter link is to a profile of someone unconfirmed! That isn't aggregation suited for Knowledge.

224:
1731:(The original Times Now article I removed, as it was about Katrina Kaif's appearance- a superficial celebrity article and not one about the critical reception, it only mentioned 'mixed reviews' in one sentence in passing and didn't really discuss it). It appears now that all 5 have released new articles almost unanimously stating that the film got negative (not mixed) reviews:

represent the entirity of reviews, we cannot possibly represent all major reviewers. There are perhaps more than hundreds of reliable film critics/newspapers in India and it's virtually impossible to track every single one of them. Without knowing what the excluded reviews contain, we cannot suggest a conclusion. And why India, there are others overseas like
2475:
1443:
film articles (both Hindi and even
English) to state such terminology, i.e. "generally positive reviews," or "mixed," "poor," etc - they state it as a leading statement and then clarify with reviewers' excerpts. And finally, this has been a general practice for many years with many different film articles- it makes no sense to exclude this film from it.
1326:
guidelines' meanings. If a reviewer goes on a lengthy diatribe about the quality of a film, you don't have to quote the diatribe, you can simply write "Ms. X liked the film." That's OK. But when you cherrypick reviews and count stars and perform calculations to convert a 3/4 star review to 5 star system, then tally up the figures, we're seriously deep in
791:
average contributor would be smart enough to figure this out. You know that the general consensus is that the film got mostly poor but had some average and 1 or two positive reviews. Since the community doesn't like to use 'mixed to poor,' we can rightly say "mostly poor," because takes into consideration the relatively few average-or-higher reviews.
2501:
1705:. I can independently list many positive reviews from reliable sources for this film, many from this article itself, but since they aren't published in either the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, or Australia, won't count towards the final result in RT. Slightly tweaked the arguments for the second RfC, and added more outcomes for !voting.
1822:"critics are equally disappointed and are calling out the film" which may indicate that the reviews weren't up to expectations, but this doesn't necessarily mean negative. Even with aggregation, you cannot state that a "majority" have voiced a similar opinion without accounting for all reviews, and doesn't seem as crystal clear as you put it.
1752:"The big budget film, also starring Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh, seems to be a box office success but a critical failure...once again the result is mixed, leaning towards really bad... However, the movie got a big thumbs down from the critics. Reviewers have panned it for being boring and forgettable."
781:. They outright state that the film had either 'positive' or 'mixed' reviews. They did not rely on a media aggregator, or media outlets' opinions as to what the reviews state- they just stated the trend outright themselves. If they can do it there, with common sense and then back it up with the reviews, we should be able to do it here.
2202:
keen on specifying, then we would always have to check on BOI alone and not mind what other sources say. That seems a bit extreme and unfair, because I feel that other qualified analysts like Taran Adarsh are equally valid sources and if they put out information, we shouldn't discount them just because they don't put Net or Gross.
983:"I don't think we should be using individual journalists' opinions on critical response" Exactly my point! Why go to new outlets who aggregate the reviews themselves, as they can be biased and differ between themselves. Common sense should be able to tell the average contibutor the overall reception of the film's reviews.
1740:"Amitabh Bachchan is not pleased with the extremely negative reviews of Thugs Of Hindostan both from critics and audience alike....Though the film received negative reviews, moviegoers appreciated Amitabh Bachchan's role....Despite getting negative reviews, Thugs Of Hindostan smashed all records by earning Rs 52.25 crore"
1202:
reviews can also be stated, but it should be noted that they are not in the majority. Again, keep in mind that news outlets' opinions on critical responses, are NOT the responses themselves; what they think about how positively/negatively a film is received should have no real weight, the actual reviews themselves should.
1779:"On its second day, Thugs Of Hindostan continued to mint money, despite being unanimously panned by critics...Thugs Of Hindostan, which has Aamir and Amitabh sharing screen space for the first time, was one of the most anticipated films of 2018 but it turned out to be a damp squib, if the reviews are anything to go by."
2224:
Adarsh's later tweet adds Day 1- 52 crore + Day 2- 28 + Day 3- 22 or something along those lines, so it can easily be verified that he's adding the nett figures (Maestro2016's message below has the link) as it would make no sense for a trade analyst who knows his job to add a nett figure to a gross figure ;
1926:
Well that is a relief! How many words both of us have typed up to now just for the freedom to type 3 small ones. I was hoping you would be able to see the sense in it at some point. I will go ahead and edit the article. One more thing- if you are a guy, I hope your wife doesn't ever cheat on you and
1012:
If we are not using the aggregations, then the other option would be to not say any summary about the critical response. We ourselves certainly cannot use our common sense, as you have pointed out can be done, as we are also humans prone to this bias, and that is synthetic research, against
Knowledge
893:
And saying 'mostly' is not a grammar clause; it is not saying 'The film received poor reviews but there are reliable sources which disagree' - because we are saying that while MOST of them are poor (not all), there ARE some that disagree. As for the Ek Tha Tiger page, the discrepancy isn't important
1840:
And you are incorrect in assuming that 'panned' only means criticized - why would an article say 'Critics criticized' a movie? That is redundant and doesn't make sense. "Panned," as referring to film reviews, is socially accepted to mean "criticized heavily to a point of accepting its' negativity."
1836:
That
Filmfare link you posted itself says: "The film received a thumbs-down from the critics as well as the audience." A thumbs-down is negative! This is getting ridiculous. What is it going to take to satisfy you? If you want ALL voices to be heard, you are going to be waiting forever because as I
1797:
So I think it is fairly clear that these newer articles, released by the same 5 outlets you sourced earlier as calling reception "mixed," are now nearly unanimous in calling it "negative." Hopefully we can come to an agreement that we can say "mostly negative reviews?" I hope you do not negate this
1168:
Which is exactly what we are doing. We are retaining the general meaning of the reviews and summarizing them. There is no new conclusion because even if reviewers E and F somewhat liked a film, they are in the minority and therefore if we say 'Mostly negative reviews," they will still be accounted
1068:
I completely disagree with the fact that summarizing most reviews for a film would be considered synthetic research. We have no more bias than any of the journalists themselves who write opinions on critical response, anyway. We are not drawing any separate conclusions of our own, nor are we adding
956:
I'll point out that we are not required to publish a summary of critical response. If sources vary on the language and we can't agree on how to present the content, there is always the option to omit the content and just toss two fingers up at lousy Indian journalists. Seriously, though, this is one
352:
There is lot of third party reporting....from reliable and independent sources. Looks-photograghy is taking place. Filming is going to start soon. And there is lot of news coming out about it and people are trying to know about it. And as it has lot of content which can't be merged with any specific
2223:
The initial one is a bad idea. Most Indian trade financials are concerned with nett, not gross. We know the opening record of 52 crore is nett in India from both Box Office India (which mentions a 50 crore nett opening without counting dubbed versions) and Adarsh's first tweet, which mentions nett.
1821:
the response mixed. The quoted IB Times article terms the sum of both critic and audience reviews alike as extremely negative. Do note that "to pan" means "to criticize" and doesn't necessarily indicate aggregation, and the Times Now source does not mention critics' response as negative, they state
1205:
I don't know why you referenced that
Chandralekha statement; whether or not it recouped its production costs have nothing to do with its critical reception. In any case, that statement is in the lead paragraph - even so, it does not differ from the one in the Critical Reception section, which says
919:
I infer that the second IB article which you linked are only counting independent film reviewers critics: by critics that are respected, I meant those critics whose opinions alone are notable. Many newspapers hire their journalists, who may not have individual reliability, to write reviews. Notable
872:
You said the IBN article refers to only top critics, but that is not true at all - it doesn't specify this anywhere, you are only inferring that. It says Taran Adarsh and others- well yes, they do need to be critics. The 'overall reception' DOES refer to the opinions of critics whose opinions are
767:
So this illustrates my point as to why we should not rely on outlets themselves to aggregate reviews: 1) they may later retract or change their minds as the times change or more reviews come out, 2) their opinions differ amongst themselves anyway and 3) the people who write them are basically doing
2205:
One solution is that since many sources do not specify Net or Gross, we simply don't have to either - that relieves us of any burden of responsibility, and we are still giving as accurate a number as the source allows. If we DO run into numbers that specify one or the other, then we can report it-
2201:
So it seems like only BOI articles (at least, from what I've seen) actually specify net, and that most sources do not. That puts something of a burden on us because we should only put Net or Gross if the source explicitly states so; otherwise we risk displaying wrong info, correct? And if we are
1438:
asserts that we cannot summarize them that way because that would be synthesis and against
Knowledge guidelines. Blacku22 says that we should get news' outlets referencing to state whether a film has generally positive or negative reviews; he noted that since some sources say the film got negative
1240:
As VERIFYOR states, we are presenting different opinions of reliable sources. In this case, we do not know what is the majority, so we state the source of these opinions. X, Y, and Z say A, while B, C, and D say E. No majority or minority required for a film review when sources do not indicate so.
828:
example you raised has a totally different summary in the body and the lead. The lead says it positive, while the body says it mixed. This is why I propose not summarizing the critical response, and instead using the aspects of production that were praised or the reverse in the lead, and detailing
2228:
applies. All newspapers are either getting the figures from Taran Adarsh or Box Office India, there isn't much independent research. If you see, all their opening figures are either 50 crore (without dubs from Box Office India) or 52 crore (from Adarsh or
Bollywood Hungama, including dubs). Also,
2026:
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 10% rating (4.1/10 avg) - from 10 reviews, 9 were Rotten. The star-rating system is widely used among many Indian Film Critics, especially the top newspapers, so it should not be quickly dismissed; Many critics have given this film between a 1 to 2 star rating,
1798:
by finding some other outlet that calls it mixed - it is clear to me now that MOST of the outlets are calling it negative. It is unfair to require the approval of each and every outlet and dismiss the general consensus based on one disagreeing article. Please let me know what you think, thanks.
1756:(Note: It is true that it also says "the result is mixed" - but that sentence does not specifically apply to critics' reviews. It explicitly goes on to say it 'Got a big thumbs down from critics' and that reviewers have 'Panned it' - so it's verdict is pretty clear that the reviews are negative.)
1549:
Updated your tweak in the Request for Comment page. Just so that there isn't any confusion, my assertion was not against summarizing reviews, but against aggregating them to reach a conclusion such as 'generally poor reviews', especially when some sources are not in favour of this synthesis. Hope
1442:
So I think we, the contributors, should be able to use reason and common sense in stating if a film has 'generally negative reviews' or not. I don't think it counts as synthesis because we are not really creating any new original research, merely summarizing- and it is common practice among many
1114:

I just checked Rotten Tomatoes, and the film has a 10% rating and 4.1/10 avg score; out of 10 reviews, 9 were 'rotten.' Since this is a Review Aggregator site, let me know if this changes your opinion any- if it does, then we may not need to go through with the RfC. In that regard, as per

I have since compiled a Google Doc, listing the mixed and negative reviews (see below). No less than 18 expressly said "negative reviews," while only 1- the Zee News article you listed - wrote Mixed. If you find any more that say Mixed, save the links and perhaps we can add them to this
1726:
Fair enough. But now, I believe I have enough information to make my case valid and hopefully we can come to an agreement here and not need to go through an RfC. Please consider the following: the outlets you say gave 'mixed' reviews, as listed in the Critical Reception section, are:
2049:
We should let readers judge the overall reception for themselves via reading the rest of the Critical Reception section, and not need to state a summarizing statement if an agreement cannot be found among sources. Also, Rotten Tomatoes needn't be practical in the case of foreign
1271:, by your same logic, 2 positive reviews, 2 mixed reviews, and a negative review doesn't suggest the overall reception is "well-received". I meant to post a source which I found and states the film got mixed reviews, but I can't find it now. It was in Hindustan Times, I think.
1233:
This is exactly what we are doing when summarizing reviews. This policy does not apply in the case of summarizing many reviews together, as in aggregating them, for we do not know if the reviews are representative, and the lead sentence of the policy suffices the counter
1191:
This is exactly why you don't need to account for the varying differences of news outlets as to the film's reception. They will differ anyway, and we can't research all points of view. But we CAN look at how most of the reviews are skewing and see what the majority
2210:
For me personally, I am not bothered by it that much; the calculation method may be inconsistent, but as long as we specify it, the average reader might not have a problem with it because they they probably can figure out that both are valid ways to report figures.

Not sure of the points you are refuting with Mughal-e-Azam and Agneepath; just because it was promoted in 2012 doesn't mean the practice used then can't be used now. As for Don, the reference you linked has nothing to do with Don, perhaps you meant some other one?
1338:
There is a dispute, so what makes sense is to quote the sources directly. "Source X described the film's response as '___', Source Y described the response as '___'." But again, we are not obligated to include any sort of summary of critical response.
