Bollywood Hungama, in this special report, brings to you the twelve trendsetters of the year who rocked the shows with their achievements.

#2024Recap: 12 Trendsetters of the Year – Aamir Khan’s stint with Laapataa Ladies, Bhushan Kumar took on Singham Again, Vicky Kaushal’s killer moves in ‘Tauba Tauba’, Vikrant Massey’s bold sabbatical plan…

1. Bhushan Kumar
The head honcho of T-Series had multiple releases this year, some of which were quite significant. Srikanth defied expectations and was the sleeper hit of the year. Savi was a big success on Netflix. Khel Khel Mein also trended well on OTT due to very positive word of mouth. But his biggest achievement was that he didn’t budge and brought Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 on Diwali despite the clash with Singham Again. The risk paid off as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 collected more than the cop universe film, shocking one and all. He also unveiled the Sonu Nigam version of ‘Mere Dholna’ after the film was out and hence, no one got a whiff of the unexpected twist in the climax.

2. Dinesh Vijan
The track record of the Maddock Films head honcho went on another level as all three of his films collected more than expected. Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya was the first hit of 2024. Munjya was released with minimal expectations but went on to cross the Rs. 100 crores mark. Stree 2, meanwhile, is now the biggest Bollywood grosser of all time. He marketed these films extensively and also ensured they all had hit music and appealing trailers. These factors played a big role in creating awareness as well as excitement for his products.

3. Jio Studios
This production house, headed by Jyoti Deshpande, also had a dream year. They backed films of diverse genres like Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, Article 370, Laapataa Ladies, Shaitaan, Stree 2, Singham Again, etc. and except for Baby John, all of them were huge successes. The first four films released within 5 weeks and yet, the team, headed by Jyoti Deshpande, meticulously planned and marketed them well.

4. PVR Inox Pictures
The multiplex chain re-released Rockstar (2011) as an experiment. It worked and how. It gave a huge boost to the re-release trend and contributed nearly Rs. 70 crores to the box office this year.

5. Aanand L Rai, Sohum Shah
Many films were re-released in 2024 but the re-release of Tumbbad stood out. The makers ensured that the 2018 period fantasy film is no longer available on OTT. They spent a bomb marketing a film as if it’s a fresh release. The efforts paid dividends as Tumbbad managed to collect more than Rs. 30 crores and was the biggest re-release grosser of the year.

6. Kiran Rao, Aamir Khan
Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan used their marketing acumen to promote their labour of love, Laapataa Ladies, not just in India but across the world. They also smartly navigated questions about their divorce.

7. Vicky Kaushal
Vicky Kaushal’s dance in ‘Tauba Tauba’ created a rage and it arguably became the song of the year. It belonged to the film Bad Newz, which opened bigger than expected thanks to the dance number and Vicky’s killer moves.

8. Payal Kapadia
She became a household name when she brought historic honour for India through her film All We Imagine As Light.

9. Sharvari
She became a rising star this year as she had three releases in a span of nearly two months. It began with Munjya, where her performance was appreciated but she got talked about more for her rocking track ‘Taras’. In the controversial Netflix film Maharaja, she showed her cute and comic side, which was appreciated. In Vedaa, she was in a diametrically opposite role – raw and gritty – and for many, she was the best part about the film.

10. Shalini Passi
Several viewers felt that she stole the show from all the other women in Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives with her grace, poise, clothes and unique outlook towards life.

11. Tamannaah Bhatia
Tamannaah Bhatia soared the temperatures with ‘Aaj Ki Raat’, a song that went viral on Reels and was recreated by thousands of people across the world. It proved yet again how she continues to have a tremendous pull for the audience.

13. Vikrant Massey
The actor scared everyone for 24 hours when it felt like he’s all set to retire from acting. After he clarified that he’s taking a sabbatical, he was praised and it helped throw a light on an important aspect – that it’s okay to pause and spend time with your loved one, even when you are at the prime of your career.
