With just one real blockbuster to show this year in horror comedy Stree 2, entertainment industry experts expect Hindi box office returns for 2024 to be 30-40% lower than in 2023.
Stree 2 collected ₹627.02 crore at the domestic box office, with the next best being Diwali releases Singham Again (₹259.95 crore) and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (₹260.15 crore), according to data from entertainment portal Bollywood Hungama.
Comparatively, 2023 was marked by four movies that breached the ₹500 crore mark—Pathaan, Gadar 2, Jawan and Animal.
In absolute terms, 2023 saw box office collections for the Hindi market at ₹5,300 crore. This year, the number stands at only ₹3,500 crore as of mid-November, according to trade experts.
Even though Varun Dhawan-starrer Baby John and Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2—The Rule (a Telugu movie that will be dubbed in Hindi) are slated for December and are expected to do well, it is unlikely that 2023's numbers will be breached.
