Another month of 2024 passed, and July 2024 became an underperforming month for the Hindi box office. This month, the Hindi film industry witnessed four releases – Kill, Indian 2 (Hindi), Sarfira, Bad Newz, and the English release Deadpool & Wolverine. Together, these films brought in only 176.40 crore at the box office.
A key factor contributing to the underperformance of Hindi films in July 2024 could be the intense competition from other language films, particularly from the South Indian film industry. While Kalki 2898 AD continued to earn, Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 also arrived to dominate. However, it could not!
Indian 2 and Raayan VS July Box Office 2024
When it comes to Kollywood grossers, Indian 2 earned 81 crore in India, and Raayan earned 48.70 crore, cumulatively earning 127.70 crore in total. If Deadpool & Wolverine’s collection from the Bollywood box office is not taken into consideration, then the two Kollywood grossers outshine Hindi releases in July that cumulatively brought 105 crore!
