2024 ultimately proved to be an interesting year for Indian cinema. Tentpole franchise releases collected a lot of box office cash, with “Stree 2: Sarkate ka Aatank” and “Pushpa 2: The Rule” both entering the top ten highest grossing Indian films of all time, and new franchise establishing “Kalki 2898 Ad” joining them on the list. Box-office numbers did not equate strong critical word for the protest though, with the majority of good word-of-mouth going once again to regional cinema. Prime among those remained Malayalam cinema, who started the year strong, with a quality release almost every month all the way to the end of the year. Tamil cinema too registered a few release of note, with “Maharaja” becoming the highest grossing Indian film in China upon its release there. Hindi cinema, despite the general opinion of being in regression, also managed to make its presence known, even if noteworthy releases were few and far in-between.
