Bollywood's 2024 box office journey has been an intriguing mix of high-octane hits and underwhelming performances. Films like Stree 2, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again soared with record-breaking openings, while ambitious projects such as Kalki 2898 AD and Devara reflected the continued cross-regional appeal of Indian cinema.
