Kamal Haasan Box Office Report Card 2024: 1 Success & 1 Disaster – Ulaganayagan Had A Mixed Bag Of Releases But Enjoys An Impressive Average Of 350 Crores+
For Kamal Haasan, 2024 has been a mixed bag in terms of box office as he saw the worst with Indian 2, and saw the best with Kalki 2898 AD.
After decades of success, actors usually avoid experimenting much with their filmography, but Kamal Haasan is one such legend who never hesitates to try something different. Even at the age of 70, our beloved Ulaganayagan is leaving everyone stunned with his choices of films and characters. In 2024, he impressed everyone as Supreme Yaskin in Kalki 2898 AD. It was a huge success at the box office. However, Indian 2’s disastrous run hit him with a big setback.
In 2024, Haasan had two releases. The first was Kalki 2898 AD, and the second was Indian 2. Both were magnum opuses and were backed by massive budgets. Despite the high costs involved, the former managed to score a huge victory at the Indian box office. Unfortunately, the Indian sequel failed miserably despite the benefit of franchise value.
With mostly positive reviews from critics and audiences, Kalki 2898 AD managed to earn a massive 653.21 crores net (all languages) at the Indian box office. Apart from Prabhas’ superstardom, Kamal Haasan’s portrayal of Supreme Yaskin was one of the reasons why the film enjoyed attention from the audience. It was a plus affair in the domestic market, considering the exorbitant cost of 600 crores.
Indian 2, despite being a sequel to cult Indian, tanked at the Indian box office. Due to negative reviews from critics and audiences, it earned just 83 crores net (all languages), proving to be a shocker for Kamal Haasan. Considering the hefty budget of 250 crores, it was declared a flop during its theatrical run.
Combining the collections of both films, Kamal Haasan is enjoying a cumulative collection of a staggering 736.21 crores net, which equals a per-film average of 368.10 crores. Considering one plus and one flop, he has a success ratio of 50%. For the unversed, we used the ‘Success Ratio = (Superhits + Hits + Plus + Average)/Total Releases x 100’ formula to calculate the success ratio.
Take a look at the performance of Kamal Haasan’s films in 2024:
Kalki 2898 AD – 653.21 crores
Indian 2 – 83 crores
Total – 736.21 crores
Average per film – 368.10 crores
