Bollywood Box Office: Ulajh, Auron Mein... Enter List Of 2024's Worst 1st Weekend Grossers

In recent months, Bollywood has been going through a tough phase and new releases are struggling to mint good numbers at the box office. If 2023 was a great year for Bollywood which concluded with films like Jawan, Animal and Dunki among others, the industry has made 2024 the worst year, that no one could ever imagine.

2024 started off with Fighter, which was followed by a series of failures including big budget films like Maidaan and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.

With each movie, filmmakers are trying hard to bring the audience back to the cinema halls, but it turns out the audience have begun to get bored of same genre of films with no ounce of creativity. The reluctance to visit the cinema halls is reflecting in box office figures too.
