Our monthly feature The India Box Office Report tracks the performance of the various films released every month at the Indian (domestic) box office. Monthly reports are published on this website in the third week of the following month. If the numbers for your film do not match those in our report, we will be happy to get information from you on the same, and update the report. Our email ID is mentioned at the end of this report below.
This is the February 2024 edition of the report. You can access the previous reports in the Insights section of this website.
Cumulative Box Office: February 2024
Films that released in February 2024 grossed a modest ₹625 Cr, with Manjummel Boys emerging as the top-grossing film of the month, also becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam language film of all time, at the domestic in the process.
The cumulative box office for 2024 releases stands at ₹1,557 Cr, which is 11% lower than the same period in 2023. Malayalam films alone grossed ₹219 Cr in the month of February 2024, the highest-ever in a single month for the industry.
Top 10 Films
The chart below lists the top 10 films released in February 2024, based on their box office performance in India.
Hindi film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya also touched the ₹100 Cr gross mark. Top 5 films of the month feature three Malayalam films, i.e., Manjummel Boys, Premalu, and Bramayugam.
Language Share
For language share calculation, language-wise box office of films releasing in multiple languages is assigned to the corresponding language. However, for Hollywood, the data for all languages is reported under the language head ‘Hollywood’.
Fighter, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, and Article 370 are the only three Hindi films in the top 10 films of the year thus far. Hindi cinema has contributed 34% to the domestic box office so far, which is 10 percentage points lower than 2023 (44% share). The success of multiple films has resulted in the share of Malayalam films being at 17%, higher than Tamil, Hollywood and Kannada, during these early days of 2024. Malayalam's share was only 5% in 2023.
How to read the numbers in this report?
Different language industries follow different reporting conventions (Gross, Nett or Share). We have used Gross Box Office as the unified measure for this report. For films releasing in multiple languages, collections are added up across languages to arrive at the film’s Gross Box Office at an all-India level.
Some films may be running in theatres at the time of publishing this report every month. For these films, Gross Box Office is estimated based on the latest trends available. Hence, it is normal that some numbers may be updated in the following month’s report, once actual collections have been estimated.
Numbers for a film are assigned to the month of its release, even if the business is spread over two or more months. For example, Pathaan released on January 25, 2023, and a sizeable component of the film’s business was registered in February 2023. However, in the analysis, Pathaan's entire box office has been credited to the month of January.
