2024
may
have
seen
a
few
flops
at
the
box
office
but
there
have
been
some
hits
as
well.
Sadly,
there
were
no
Rs
500
crore
club
(Rs
5
billion)
blockbusters
like
last
year’s
Pathaan.
Here’s
a
look
at
the
hits
of
the
year
so
far.
Fighter
Box
office
collection:
Rs
212.50
crore/Rs
2.13
billion
The
biggest
grosser
of
the
year
so
far
is
Fighter.
The
Hrithik
Roshan
starrer
is
the
only
Hindi
film
to
have
entered
the
Rs
200
crore
club
(Rs
2
billion)
this
year.
Even
though
Director
Siddharth
Anand
had
promised
an
even
bigger
blockbuster,
that
did
not
happen
but
it
went
on
to
do
respectable
business.
Kalki
2898
AD
[Hindi]
Box
office
collection:
Rs
150
crore/Rs
1.5
billion
(still
running)
The
Hindi
version
of
Kalki
has
been
doing
very
good
business
at
the
box
office,
and
it’s
just
a
matter
of
time
before
it
hits
the
Rs
200
crore
(Rs
2
billion)
mark.
Its
lifetime
collections
should
be
in
the
vicinity
of
Rs
250
crore
(Rs
2.5
billion),
marking
another
big
success
for
Prabhas.
Interestingly,
the
top
two
films
on
this
list
feature
Deepika
Padukone.
Shaitaan
Box
office
collection:
Rs
150
crore/Rs
1.5
billion
No
one
expected
Shaitaan
to
do
this
well.
Positive
word-of-mouth
did
the
trick,
and
despite
being
devoid
of
the
conventional
commercial
ingredients
—
a
hero-heroine
angle,
songs
etc
—
this
supernatural
horror
got
a
thumbs
up
from
the
audience.
Munjya
Box
office
collection:
Rs
101
crore/Rs
1.01
billion
(still
running)
Horror
is
obviously
everyone’s
cup
of
tea
these
days.
Munjya,
a
horror
movie
with
a
liberal
dose
of
comedy,
is
the
biggest
hit
of
them
all
in
terms
of
returns
on
investment.
Not
only
does
it
not
feature
stars,
it
was
also
made
on
a
miniscule
budget
and
still
has
been
over-performing
right
from
the
day
of
release.
Within
just
four
weeks
of
release,
it
has
entered
the
Rs
100
crore
club
(Rs
1
billion),
and
is
still
going
strong.
Crew
Box
office
collection:
Rs
90
crore/Rs
900
million
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
already
delivered
a
success
with
Ektaa
Kapoor
in
Veere
Di
Wedding
and
now,
she
does
better
with
Crew.
Joined
by
Tabu
and
Kriti
Sanon,
the
trio
was
clearly
having
fun
in
this
comedy
heist
that
entertained
everyone.
Made
at
reasonable
costs,
the
film
is
a
winning
proposition.
Teri
Baaton
Mein
Aisa
Uljha
Jiya
Box
office
collection:
Rs
87
crore/Rs
870
million
This
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Kriti
Sanon
starrer
started
decently
and
didn’t
really
find
much
favour
from
critics
either.
But
over
a
period
of
time,
it
ended
up
doing
good
business.
The
film’s
unique
subject
of
a
scientist
falling
in
love
with
a
robot
worked
for
it,
as
did
its
hit
music.
Article

Box
office
collection:
Rs
82.37
crore/Rs
823.7
million
A
film
that
could
have
done
a
business
of
just
Rs
30
crore
to
Rs
40
crore
(Rs
300
million
to
Rs
400
million)
and
still
be
termed
as
a
reasonable
grosser,
Article

surprised
everyone
by
opening
way
beyond
expectations
and
then
doing
even
better.
The
Yami
Gautam
film
was
a
clean
superhit
at
the
box
office.
HanuMan
[Hindi]
Box
office
collection:
Rs
57.05
crore/Rs
570.5
million
Another
Telugu
film
dubbed
in
Hindi
that
worked
well
with
the
audiences
is
HanuMan.
The
title
is
such
that
it
didn’t
require
any
further
introduction.
Moreover,
the
promotion
and
marketing
of
the
film
were
well
done
too.
Even
though
the
leading
man
Teja
Sajja
is
not
known
pan-India,
audiences
didn’t
mind
and
turned
up
in
theatres
to
watch
him
wield
his
superhero
powers.
Srikanth
Box
office
collection:
Rs
50.50
crore/Rs
505
million
A
heat-warming
film
that
told
the
true
story
of
visually-impaired
industrialist
Srikanth
Bolla,
it
featured
an
award-winning
performance
by
Rajkummar
Rao
in
the
title
role.
The
actor
has
a
knack
of
picking
up
regular
characters
and
making
them
special.
He
did
that
once
again
in
this
Tushar
Hiranandani
film
and
ensured
that
audiences
laughed
and
cried
with
him
on
screen.
Madgaon
Express
Box
office
collection:
Rs
38.50
crore/Rs
385
million
A
sleeper
success
at
the
box
office,
Madgaon
Express
started
slowly
at
the
box
office
but
kept
running
well
on
the
basis
of
positive
word-of-mouth.
It
enjoyed
a
good
run
of
seven-eight
weeks,
in
which
it
covered
costs
and
made
a
profit
as
well.
Rest
assured,
this
Divyendu
Sharma,
Pratik
Gandi
and
Avinash
Tiwary
film
will
find
a
sequel.
