Year-Ender 2024: Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2 The Rule’, Jr NTR’s ‘Devara’, Prabhas’ ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ – Check Out 10 Highest-Grossing Movies at Box Office in India!
In this year-end box office feature, we rank the 10 highest-grossing Indian films (across all languages) of 2024 by their net collections, starting from the lowest.
To no one’s surprise - especially after the phenomenon that was Baahubali 2 - Telugu cinema continues to dominate the Indian box office even in 2024. Pushpa 2: The Rule is living up to its blockbuster legacy, with Allu Arjun’s Pushpa Raj rampaging through box office records, particularly in North India. The film has already broken multiple records, including the highest-grossing opening day, highest single-day collection, highest opening weekend collection, and ultimate highest-grossing movie in India of all time. This feat is even more impressive considering the gruelling runtime of three hours and 21 minutes, coupled with a mixed critical reception. Year-Ender 2024: From Rajkummar Rao’s ‘Stree 2’ to Kartik Aaryan’s ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, 10 Highest-Grossing Bollywood Movies of the Year and Which of Them Are Actual Box Office Hits!
Another Telugu blockbuster to create waves this year is Prabhas’ sci-fi mythological fantasy, Kalki 2898 AD. Currently, it holds the title of the highest-grossing (net) film of the year in India. However, this position is expected to change shortly, with Pushpa 2 poised to surpass it in the coming days.
Bollywood, meanwhile, has had its own share of successes. The horror-comedy Stree 2 is among the year’s most profitable films, with its INR 100 crore budget yielding a staggering INR 627.02 crore in India, making it Bollywood’s highest-grossing film of 2024. Notably, it also holds the title for the highest-grossing Bollywood film in Hindi alone. Another horror-comedy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, also made a strong mark at the box office. Additionally, two Tamil films - Amaran and The Greatest of All Time (GOAT) - have cemented their place among the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of the year.
