IMDb has released the list of the most anticipated films of 2024, and as expected, Hrithik Roshan & Deepika Padukone’s Fighter is ruling this list at number 1. Based on popularity, Siddharth Anand’s film, where the superstars play Indian Air Force Officers, is winning hearts, and people are excited to watch the film on January 25.
What makes Fighter interesting is Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s fresh pairing, which has grabbed a lot of eyeballs already in the teaser and songs. The most interesting part of IMDB’s list is the ratio of Bollywood to South Indian films.
Despite Bollywood films finally beating the South Indian films at the box office in 2023, the excitement and buzz for South Indian films is currently higher than for Bollywood films. 11 South Indian films appear in the list of top 20 highly anticipated films of 2024, followed by 9 Hindi films.

Absence Of Superstars?
In 2024, five major Hindi superstars have taken a break, with no releases planned this year. The absence of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Ranveer might be a major reason for Bollywood films not making as many entries in the list of most anticipated films of 2024. However, Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar together have as many as 8 releases lined up in 2024; if all goes well and their films, get ready on time!
