Editorial policy & corrections

Editorial mission

Publish a clear, day-by-day view of Indian theatrical collections that readers can check against the previous day — without pretending any single trade headline is an official audit.

Sourcing posture

Collection figures are estimates synthesised into a weighted-median consensus. Visitor-facing copy describes the desk’s own consensus; it does not turn the site into a mirror of one outlet’s homepage. Morning briefs are written from the verified board so every rupee claim can be traced to published desk data.

Corrections

If a day-wise row, lifetime total, or verdict label is wrong, email desk@indian-boxoffice.com with the film, date, and expected correction. Material corrections are applied on the next successful publish after verification. We do not silently alter history without updating the live film page and, when relevant, noting the change in a later brief.

Advertising

When Google AdSense or similar advertising is active, ads are labelled by the ad network and are not editorial endorsements. Advertising partners do not decide Day 1 rankings, morning-brief headlines, or verdict labels. Cookie and personalised-ads disclosures live on the privacy policy.

Conflicts & independence

The desk does not accept payment to inflate or suppress a film’s reported collection. Studio or publicist outreach is treated as correspondence, not as a substitute for the consensus pipeline.

Publisher accountability

Mr Kevin Boyjonauth publishes Indian Box Office and is accountable for this policy. See About and Contact.
