The cast and crew clap when they hear ‘pack up’ because nobody knows when it’s going to end. Adding an extra shooting day is a massive burden on the producer. Instead, everyone should put in extra effort or even work extra hours to finish the work on the previous day itself.” The Lokah producer revealed that even when he wants to give someone in the production team a day off, the cast and crew refuse to take it and instead try to finish the job and then go home.

Top Highest Grossing Films in India in 2024: Pushpa 2 rules the top followed by Kalki and Stree 2

Top Highest Grossing Films in India in 2024: Pushpa 2 rules the top followed by Kalki and Stree 2

Published by Parlour News

In the year 2024, the Indian box office showcased a mixed bag of outcomes. While the year saw three mega-grossers, including Pushpa 2, which is on its way to becoming the highest-grossing film of all time, the overall performance across industries, barring Malayalam and to an extent Telugu, painted a subdued picture. Bollywood, the country’s biggest film industry, probably had its worst year ever, not counting the COVID years. While Stree 2 became the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, only six films managed to cross the Rs. 100 crore GROSS mark. For context, 2023 saw seventeen films grossing over Rs. 100 crore and in the pre-pandemic peak of 2019, twenty films hit the century mark. Even a decade ago, in 2014, ten films managed to surpass this figure. The problem wasn’t that there were many flops but that there weren’t any releases during the long stretches of the year. Looking ahead, 2025 looks better for the industry with a much better release schedule. Kollywood also had a similar sort of year coming from a very strong 2023 but remained largely devoid of big grossers this year. Only two films, The …
