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 September 2024 edition of the report. You can access the previous reports in the Insights section of this website.

Cumulative Box Office: September 2024

Films that released in September 2024 grossed ₹1,066 Cr at the domestic box office, making it the third-best month at the Indian Box Office so far this year. With a combined share of nearly 60%, Devara Part - 1 and The Greatest Of All Time dominated the month, with no other film touching the ₹100 Cr mark, and only the Malayalam film A.R.M crossing ₹50 Cr.

The cumulative box office for Jan-Sept releases stands at ₹7,949 Cr, which is 9.5% below the same period in 2023.

Top 10 Films

The chart below lists the top 10 films released in September 2024, based on their box office performance in India.

Devara Part - 1 emerged as the top-grossing film of the month, ahead of The Greatest Of All Time. The success of both these films has been driven largely by their strong box office performance in their respective home states.

Tumbbad emerged as the highest grossing re-release of all time at the India Box Office, surpassing the collections of the Tamil film Ghilli, which grossed ₹26 Cr upon its re-release in April this year. Tumbbad's re-release collections are more than twice those of its original release.

As of September 2024, four out of the top 10 films of the year come from Telugu cinema. Devara Part - 1 becomes the latest addition to this list, which also has Kalki 2898 AD, Hanu-Man, and Guntur Kaaram in it.

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’.

The language share of Telugu and Tamil has increased this month by two percentage points each, owing to the box office performance of Devara Part - 1 and The Greatest Of All Time respectively. Hindi’s language share has gone down from 40% last month (Jan-Aug) to 37% this month (Jan-Sep), owing to a weak month at the box office, where the holdover August release Stree 2 dominated.

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, Kalki 2898 AD released on June 27, 2024, and a sizeable component of the film’s business was registered in July 2024. However, in the analysis, the film's entire box office has been credited to the month of June.
