The absence of the Khans in the latest movies Bollywood casts doubt on the trajectory the entertainment industry will take, as we approach 2024. It is now up to Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, and Hrithik Roshan to continue the success of 2023, with prominent stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh also lacking many releases. The question that matters most is raised by the imminent uncertainty: Will 2024's Bollywood Box Office be able to repeat 2023's success?
Movies that Dominated the Box Office in 2023!
Without a doubt, Shah Rukh Khan's victorious comeback to the big screen and subsequent resurgence at the box office dominated 2023. In addition to saving Bollywood, his remarkable return to the big screen paved the way for the ascent of another celebrity, Ranbir Kapoor, whose film ‘Animal’ took in over an astounding Rs 850 crore, capping out the year in style. Significant comebacks were made by actors Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and the Deol family in the major releases ‘Gadar 2’, ‘Animal’, ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’.
2023 proved to be a prosperous year for Hindi cinema. Following a slump in 2021 and 2022, the film industry rebounded handsomely bringing in huge sums of money at the box office. Other hits at the box office included ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, ’OMG 2’, ‘Tu Jhooti Main Makkar’ and ‘Dunki’.
As per Bollywood celebrity gossip, the year was amazing for two stars in particular: Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor. They starred in some of the year's major motion pictures. It was also a year of resurgence, particularly for the Deol family. Bobby got lot of applause for his role in ‘Animal’, Sunny gave an all-time smash hit with ‘Gadar 2’, and their father Dharmendra stole hearts with his emotional performance in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’.
New Upcoming Movie Bollywood for 2024
Exhibitor Akshaye Rathi commented on the Khans' absence in the latest movies 2024 Bollywood, saying that it's fairly okay that the three Khans won't be releasing movies this year. The baton must eventually be passed on to new stars for new upcoming movies Bollywood. Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand were legendary during one period. Then came the times of Vinod Khanna, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor, and the Khans.
It's time for the next wave of superstars to take control and make sure the box office keeps turning over. Some movies lined up for 2024 include ‘Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’ that stars Tiger Shroff and Akshay Kumar, ‘Maidaan’ featuring Ajay Devgn, and ‘Auro Mein Kaha Dum Tha’.
According to Bollywood movie news, if 2023 was Shah Rukh Khan's year, Akshay Kumar might steal the show in 2024 with three big movies. Trade expert Girish Wankhede said, "Akshay Kumar is probably going to do well with 'Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan,' 'Sky Force,' and 'Welcome To The Jungle.' This year will be all about Akshay Kumar. He might have one more release, but this year he will win.
According to entertainment news in Hindi movie, 2024 got off to a promising start with 'Merry Christmas' and 'Fighter’. Potential blockbusters, even in the absence of any Khan releases, include ‘Stree 2’, ’Chhava’, and the promising ‘Chandu Champion’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, starring Kartik Aaryan.
South Indian Movies Set to Release in 2024
The scene also features a number of well-known South Indian movies that are set for Pan-India release. ‘Kalki 2898’ by Prabhas, and ‘Kantara 2’ starring Rishabh Shetty. Although the other Khans don't have releases, several South Indian films are eyeing a Pan-India release, including 'Pushpa 2,' NTR's 'Devara,' and some Tamil films, including one with Amitabh Bachchan and Rajnikanth.
In 2023, movies like 'Pathaan,' 'Jawan,' 'Gadar 2,' and 'Animal' dominated the box office. If South Indian content is well-received, it might rule the box office this year.
Connection Between Celebrities and Release Dates
Bala raised a good point on the relationship between movie release dates and celebrities. He said that Movie releases depend on the stars being featured in the film, which is not in their control. This year, Shah Rukh Khan released three films. The following year, there's a void. I think there should be a six-month interval between releases for every star. Theaters—especially those with single screens—need big-budget action films like Vijay, Ajith, Yash, Khan, or Prabhas all the time. They must consistently release new films. Actors like Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmaan Khurrana's indie flicks perform better in multiplexes than on single screens.
All the big heroes need to make big movies; otherwise, Hollywood will come and make money. They have a studio system and plan their releases, while in India, we don't have a studio system.
