Bollywood Struggles, Telugu Films Thrive in 2024

Bollywood faced a challenging year in 2024, with formulaic stories failing at the box office, while Telugu films like 'Pushpa 2' and 'Kalki 2898 AD' dominated, with 'Pushpa 2' grossing over ₹1,700 crore globally. The OTT platforms are abuzz with new content, including Tamil and Telugu shows like 'Unstoppable with NBK' and the action thriller 'Mura.' Theaters continue to engage audiences with a mix of classic productions such as 'A Christmas Carol' and innovative musicals like 'Back to the Future.' In the editing realm, 'Amar Singh Chamkila' stands out for its innovative storytelling techniques, highlighting a vibrant depiction of the tumultuous 1984 Punjab. Telugu cinema also offers a variety of films for the New Year, including the highly anticipated release of 'Marco', known for its intense violence.
