Editorial Policy

Welcome to BollyBudget.com, your trusted source for movie budgets, box office collections, verdicts, and updates from the Indian film industry. We aim to provide clear, factual, and unbiased information related to films across Bollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, and other Indian language industries.

This Editorial Policy outlines our approach to content creation, verification, corrections, reader interaction, and our responsibility as a movie data platform. Our goal is to maintain transparency and credibility in every article we publish.

Our Editorial Mission

Our mission is to inform our readers with authentic, well-researched, and timely content related to the Indian box office. We believe in delivering fact-based updates and fair verdicts (Hit, Flop, Blockbuster, etc.) using real data and performance analytics, without sensationalism or speculation.

We focus on:

Daily, weekly, and lifetime box office collections
Movie budgets and profit/loss analysis
Movie reviews, audience feedback, and trends
Bollywood and regional film industry performance tracking

For Our Editors and Contributors

We maintain high editorial standards and ethical practices. Our editorial team includes passionate writers, box office researchers, and media professionals. Each contributor must follow these key guidelines:

1. Accuracy First

All writers are expected to verify box office data, budget estimates, and verdicts using trusted industry sources before publishing. Data is cross-checked with portals like Box Office India, Sacnilk, Bollywood Hungama, and production announcements when available.

2. Original Content

All articles must be written in the contributor’s own words. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Copy-pasted content from other websites or sources will be rejected or deleted immediately.

3. No Promotional Bias

We do not accept paid articles that promote specific movies or actors unfairly. Our box office verdicts are calculated based on numbers and financial performance, not based on popularity, fan requests, or promotional pressure.

4. Timely Updates

Box office data changes frequently. Our team is responsible for updating articles as collections evolve (Day 1, Day 5, Weekend, Lifetime, etc.) to keep readers informed with current numbers.

5. Correction Policy

If an error is found in any post — whether in figures, verdicts, or details — editors are required to update or correct the article at the earliest. We are open to corrections reported by readers and industry professionals.

For Our Readers

We welcome feedback, suggestions, and fact checks from our readers. Our comment sections and contact email are open for respectful conversation. Here's how we serve you:

1. Transparency

Each article clearly presents budget, collections, and verdict in easy-to-read subheadings. We aim to make complex box office data simple and understandable for all readers.

2. Responsibility

While we strive to publish correct data, we also include estimates and projections when official numbers are unavailable. These will be updated as new information comes in.

3. Your Voice Matters

If you notice any incorrect information or would like to suggest a correction, you can contact us at bollybudget@gmail.com. We take every message seriously and respond as quickly as possible.

Editorial Independence

BollyBudget.com maintains full editorial independence. Our content is not influenced by producers, PR agencies, or actors. We do not promote films for money or provide biased verdicts. Every article is based on research, figures, and audience performance.

Our use of ads (through Google AdSense) helps us fund the platform, but advertisers have no control over what we write or publish. Our loyalty is always to our readers first.

We encourage industry professionals and readers to write to us for any fact-based corrections.
