After a rocking 2023, the box office earnings took a hit in 2024. For Bollywood, it was a particularly underwhelming year. 2023 saw as many as four Rs. 500 crore grossers, which was an unbelievable feat. 2024, meanwhile, had only Rs. 500 crore grosser while the number of Rs. 100 crore plus films were also fewer in 2024. As a result, while 2023 had 8 Hindi films in the top 15 list, there were only 5 Bollywood flicks in a similar list for 2024.

The Diwali releases, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again, took the fifth and sixth positions as they collected Rs. 334.67 crores and Rs. 316.45 crores respectively.

The Tamil cinema finally made an entry to the list at the seventh and eight positions with The Greatest Of All Time (Rs. 305 crores) and Amaran (Rs. 258 crores). This was followed by Fighter. It underperformed and yet earned Rs. 244.70 crores.
