Bollywood enthusiasts, brace yourselves for an exhilarating year ahead as the film industry gears up to deliver a cinematic extravaganza in 2024.

Let's delve into the 21 most awaited Bollywood movies of 2024, featuring star-studded casts, visionary directors, and box office predictions that could reshape the industry.

Note: We've formulated the box office predictions considering the initial buzz, teasers/trailers, star cast, and their current track record, along with the director and production team track records. Since most of the films haven't even released a teaser, it's challenging to accurately gauge the real numbers. Therefore, consider this as pre-release speculative estimates for fun. We sincerely hope that all the films surpass the predicted numbers we've mentioned. So, let the show begin!
