Top Bollywood stars were quite experimental in their choice of films in 2024, but without much success in their endeavours. They only ended up denting annual box office collections.

Experts said titles such as Alia Bhatt's Jigra, Ajay Devgn's Maidaan and Aur Mein Kahan Dum Tha and Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein are examples of popular names not catering to their target audiences but attempting niche, experimental subjects to prove their versatility. While the strategy often garners critical acclaim, it also alienates a large section of their wide fan base.
