April 2024 Box Office Expectations (400 Crore – 9 Releases): Ajay Devgn & Akshay Kumar’s 300+ Crore Massive Eid Together Might Not Beat Salman Khan’s Best?

Another month has arrived, and another set of releases is scheduled for this Eid month. The biggest one, of course, is the massive Ajay Devgn VS Akshay Kumar clash at the April 2024 box office with Maidaan and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. However, if all goes well, then the two films might put up a strong show, bringing a massive 300 crore collection on Eid.

However, despite the 300 crore cumulative collection, the two Eid releases might not beat Salman Khan‘s best Eid performance of 320.24 crore by Bajrangi Bhaijaan in 2015. The film was helmed by Kabir Khan and is the biggest Eid release till date.

April 2024, the box office will witness 9 releases that include a clash we discussed and another clash between Dukaan and JNU. There will also be a triple clash between Janhvi Kapoor, Vidya Balan, and Uorfi Javed. Overall, the month might end up collecting 400+ crore at the box office.

Here is a list of the films releasing this month and their expected numbers at the box office. Check out how they will contribute to the April 2024 box office.

1. Dukaan

• Release Date: April 5, 2024
• Expectations: 3 – 4 crore
• Starcast: Monika Panwar, Sikandar Kher, Monali Thakur
• Director: Siddharth–Garima

USP: Siddharth and Garima are accomplished writers, and the film has a unique plotline of surrogate women as professionals. After Mimi’s reception, this story might pique interest.

2. JNU: Jahangir National University

• Release Date: April 5
• Expectations: 15 – 20 crore
• Starcast: Siddharth Bodke, Urvashi Rautela, Piyush Mishra, Ravi Kishan, Vijay Raaz, Rashmi Desai, Atul Pandey, Sonnalli Seygall
• Director: Vinay Sharma

USP: Such politically inspired films might take any route at the box office. A blockbuster route like The Kerala Story, or they might tank like The Vaccine War.

3. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan

• Release Date: April 10
• Expectations: 150 – 160 crore
• Starcast: Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff
• Director: Ali Abbas Zafar

USP: While Ali Abbas Zafar knows his craft, it has been a long time since Akshay and Tiger earned a hit tag at the box office. Their hunger for a hit and Eid release date provides a perfect opportunity for a box office explosion that might even touch 200 crore!

4. Maidaan

• Release Date: April 10
• Expectations: 100 – 120 crore
• Starcast: Ajay Devgn, Priyamani, Gajraj Rao and others
• Director: Amit Sharma

USP: Despite clashing with BMCM, Ajay Devgn has his set of audience, and when he roars, people root for him. If all goes right for the film, it might go past the expected number and reach the 150 crore mark, as Shaitaan outperformed recently.

5. Phule

• Release Date: April 10, 2024
• Expectations: under 5 crore
• Starcast: Pratik Gandhi, Patralekhaa
• Director: Anant Mahadevan

USP: Not much is known about the film, but Pratik Gandhi is the current hotcake, which is fresh out of the oven after Madgaon Express.

6. Mr & Mrs Mahi 

• Release Date: April 19, 2024
• Expectations: 25 – 30 crore
• Starcast: Rajkummar Rao, Janhvi Kapoor
• Director: Sharan Sharma

USP: Nothing much, apart from being a Dharma film. Since there are three films clashing, it will be a very difficult route for the film to reach even this expected number. But if it settles down and sticks to the pace, it might achieve the same.

7. Love, Sex Aur Dhokha 2

• Release Date: April 19, 2024
• Expectations: 35 – 40 crore
• Starcast: Uorfi Javed, Mouni Roy & Others
• Director: Dibakar Banerjee

USP: Everything that sells is there in the film – s*x, lust, digital danga, and more! And there is Uorfi of course!

8. Do Aur Do Pyaar

• Release Date: April 19, 2024
• Expectations: 10 – 12 crore
• Starcast: Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz, Sendhil Ramamurthy
• Director: Shirsha Guha Thakurta

USP: Vidya Balan is currently in the news due to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, and Pratik Gandhi has just won hearts with Madgaon Express. The effect might hang around with the film as well.

9. Ruslaan

• Release Date: April 26, 2024
• Expectations: 8 – 10 crore
• Starcast: Aayush Sharma, Jagpathi Babu, Vidya Malvade
• Director: Karan Butani

USP: Aayush Sharma has had a rocky box office journey, but he somehow survives, and he might as well with this one!

Most of these numbers and figures are based on basic evaluations and performances of their lead actor’s last films, and these figures might change as the release date and buzz for the films come into the picture.

Note: Box office numbers are based on estimates and various sources. Numbers have not been independently verified by Koimoi.
