The year 2024 has been quite a journey for the Bollywood industry, from producing mega-budget films to making huge collections at the box office.

Made for Rs 180 crore, this film earned just Rs 38 crore in 13 days

This 2024 film was a remake of a hit film in Tamil. With a sold script and a star-studded cast this film did wonders in Kollywood. After eight years this same film was made in Hindi, however, it turned out to be the biggest disaster at the box office. The film we are talking about is none other than Baby John which was released on on 25 December on the occasion of Christmas Day. The film was released amid the blockbuster running of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule. Many may not know that Baby John was produced by Atlee, who was the original director of Theri, starring Thalapathy Vijay, Samantha Prabhu, and Amy Jackson. It is the same director who gave Shahrukh Khan the highest-grossing film of his career. However, Baby John is directed by Kalees, and the major loss was diverted to Atlee who was the producer of this film.

According to media reports, Baby John was reportedly made with a whopping budget of Rs 160 crore, and 12 days after its release the film is yet to cross the Rs 40 crore mark.
