Will Maddock’s Rising Success Force Dharma-YRF To Close?

In 2024, Maddock Films has truly shone, building on its impressive track record with hits like Love Aaj Kal (2009), Cocktail (2012), Badlapur (2015), Hindi Medium (2017), and Mimi (2021). This year, the studio has notched up a series of consecutive successes with films such as Munjya, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, and Stree 2, reinforcing its reputation for delivering popular and engaging cinema.

With a string of consecutive successes, Maddock Films has risen to become one of the leading production houses in the industry today. The studio’s impressive achievements this year have led many industry reports and online discussions to suggest that Maddock might soon surpass long-established giants like Dharma Productions and YRF.

A Reddit thread is currently making waves, asserting that Maddock Films has emerged as a formidable competitor to established production houses like Dharma and YRF. The thread highlights that while Maddock continues to enjoy a series of box office successes, Dharma and YRF have been facing challenges in delivering any major box office blockbuster.

Dharma’s recent releases, including Yodha, Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, and Bad Newz, have had mixed results; while Bad Newz performed reasonably well, the others struggled at the box office. Meanwhile, YRF has faced consecutive flops with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Laapataa Ladies, both failing significantly.

The Reddit post suggests that Dharma Productions may be on the brink of bankruptcy, with KJo potentially halting major projects unless there’s a turnaround. Meanwhile, YRF, once a leading name in Indian cinema, has struggled with recent films like Befikre, Tiger 3, and Samrat Prithviraj underperforming. Despite hits like Jageshbhai and successes with Sui Dhaaga and Mardaani, YRF’s recent big releases have faltered. The studio might recover if conditions improve.

Reacting to the post many Redditors agreed with Maddock’s success and the fall of Dharma and YRF production in 2024. Check out their reactions.

Maddock is currently gearing up for the release of films like Vikrant Massey starrer “Sector 36”, Vicky Kaushal starrer “Chhava”, and John Abraham starrer “Tehran” among others. Meanwhile, Dharma production is also working on its upcoming projects like Alia Bhatt starrer “Jigra” among others.
