April 2024 Box Office Expectations: 400 Crore With 9 Releases ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
Another month has arrived, and another set of releases is scheduled for this Eid month. The biggest one, of course, is the massive Ajay Devgn Vs Akshay Kumar clash at the April 2024 box office with Maidaan and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. However, if all goes well, then the two films might put up a strong show, bringing a massive 300 crore collection on Eid.
However, despite the 300 crore cumulative collection, the two Eid releases might not beat Salman Khan‘s best Eid performance of 320.24 crore by Bajrangi Bhaijaan in 2015. The film was helmed by Kabir Khan and is the biggest Eid release till date.
April 2024, the box office will witness 9 releases that include a clash we discussed and another clash between Dukaan and Jnu. There will also be a triple clash between Janhvi Kapoor, Vidya Balan, and Uorfi Javed. Overall, the...

Director duo Siddharth Singh and Garima Wahal, who are gearing up for the release of their film ‘Dukaan’, based on surrogates, has talked about how the upcoming movie is different and why they chose to not go for a big Bollywood name.
Talking to Ians, Wahal said: “This film is about surrogacy. Surrogates are faceless so if we would’ve gotten a big name attached to the film, it wouldn’t have looked like a surrogate only. We have taken a face, which is seen but not much. That gives justice to the film.”
Singh said that they had reached out to big names, however the offers were declined.
“We did reach out to big names… but whoever we approached said ‘I don’t want to play pregnant’, ‘give me a glamorous role’. We thought it wouldn’t justify the film then we decided to take a person, who is entirely convinced with this role,...
