Diljit has stolen the show this year
A little more than half of the year 2024 has passed. The films of big stars like Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgan have failed at the box office. Small films like ‘Munjya’, ‘Maharaja’ and ‘Crew’ shocked everyone by earning well. That means people are now preferring content oriented films.
This year there was a glut of such films on OTT. From ‘Chamkila’ to ‘Maharaj’ there were many films that people loved. There were some who didn’t get picked, but got an audience with the help of big names. Today let us talk about those movies which were toppers in terms of views.
