Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer 'Pushpa 2' is the highest grossing film of 2024, with the film expected to cross Rs 2,000 crore in the coming days. Despite these staggering numbers, there are reports that suggest that Malayalam rom-com 'Premalu' is the most profitable film of the year. According to reports by leading news portals, the Naslen-Mamitha Baiju film grossed Rs 136 crore, though the film was made at a modest budget of Rs 3 crore. The Malayalam rom-com 'Premalu' directed by Girish AD hit theatres earlier in 2024, winning hearts across India.

'Pushpa 2', however, was reportedly made at a budget of Rs 500 crore, earning only five times its profit margin. 'Kalki 2898 AD' and 'Stree 2', which were also two of the best performing films of 2024, were also made with high budgets. 'Kalki', according to reports, earned Rs 1,100 crore at the box office worldwide, though the film was made at a budget of Rs 600 crore.

Meanwhile, except for films like 'Stree 2', Bollywood had a string of high-profile failures in 2024. Several films with massive budgets and star-studded casts, like 'Bade Miyan Chotte Miyan', 'Singham Again', 'Sarfira', 'Khel Khel Mein', and 'Yudhra' etc failed to deliver, receiving scathing criticism for their lack of substance. Notable among these was 'Singham Again', which, despite featuring heavyweights like Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, and Tiger Shroff, fell short due to its weak storyline.
