2025's Surprise Hits:The films that exceeded all box office expectations

BY SACNILK TEAM

A film's box office performance can often be unpredictable. Every year, there are movies that are expected to do huge business, and then there are some which are not expected to draw big crowds to the theaters. Out of these, a few manage to connect with the audience and become unexpected hits. The year 2025 was no different and had its own share of such surprise hits. Let's take a look at the films that surprised everyone this year.

Released on July 18, this romantic drama starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda was expected to be a modest success at best. However, its soundtrack became a viral rage on social media weeks before release. The film opened strong at over ₹21 crore but, powered by incredible word-of-mouth from the youth, it showed historic growth, eventually storming past the ₹500 crore mark. It became a cultural phenomenon, proving that a well-made musical love story could still create magic. Some films were expected to be hits, but no one predicted the scale of their success. Vicky Kaushal's historical epic Chhaava, which hit theaters on February 14, was mounted on a massive budget. While a hit was expected, the film's powerful storytelling and patriotic fervor connected so deeply that it went on to gross a colossal ₹850 crore, surprising the trade with its monumental success. Similarly, the pan-India action film Lokah Chapter 1 released on August 28 was a new franchise. It was expected to do well, but its gripping screenplay and stunning action sequences turned it into a monster hit, earning over ₹300 crore and establishing a new cinematic universe. The story of 2025 was also written by regional cinema. The Telugu family entertainer Sankranthiki Vasthunam (January 14) was a festive release that was expected to do well in its home state. However, its heartwarming theme resonated so widely that it became a blockbuster, earning over ₹200 crore. The Tamil industry delivered a string of surprises. Dragon, a Romantic Drama starring Pradeep Ranganathan and directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, also punched far above its weight. Its unique concept was a huge draw for young audiences, turning it into a super hit.The quirky comedy Thalaivan Thalaivi connected well with viewers, while the sports drama Bison Kaalamaadan also had a solid run at the box office, turning into a profitable venture. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Malayalam film Thudarum, a gripping thriller released on April 25, started quietly but became a huge success thanks to rave reviews about its edge-of-the-seat story. Eko also made waves, proving that a strong local story could find a large and appreciative audience, making it one of the region's most successful films.The critically acclaimed drama Rekhachithram became a super-hit thanks to rave reviews. Other films also surprised the audience. The courtroom drama Court: State vs. A Nobody, made on a small budget of just ₹5 crore, became a word-of-mouth success due to its gripping plot. The mythological fantasy Dashavatar also found its audience, becoming another unexpected hit of the year. The success of regional cinema continued across the country. The Assamese film Roi Roi Binale was an emotional event that broke all local records, while the Odia horror-comedy Bou Buttu Bhuta and the Gujarathi drama Umbarro also became major successes in their respective states.

Romantic Wave Returns In 2025: Sanam Teri Kasam, Saiyaara, Deewaniyat, Tere Ishk Mein Revive Big-Screen Love Stories

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, December 6 - In an era when the box office is dominated by high-octane action films, the resurgence of the romance genre has become one of 2025's most talked-about developments at the Indian box office. Amid the unpredictability of the box office, the romantic genre has emerged victorious and how. Titles like Sanam Teri Kasam, Saiyaara, Deewaniyat, and Tere Ishk Mein have sparked renewed excitement among audiences, proving that love stories still hold a special place in the hearts of moviegoers. This, once a dominant wave, has reignited conversations about the timeless charm of emotional storytelling on the big screen. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It's not like the genre didn't have success in recent times, but the momentum was missing until this year, when multiple films found success at the box office. The revival began with the re-release of Sanam Teri Kasam, which drew footfall despite being nearly a decade old. Its cult status, combined with strong nostalgia factors, turned the film into a trending topic after going unnoticed back its original run. Sanam Teri Kasam grossed nearly 40 crores, and is among the top-grossing Indian re-release films. Soon after, Yash Raj Films' Saiyaara hit the big screen and stormed the box office by becoming the biggest Indian romantic drama ever. The film's old-school romantic drama struck a chord with the audience who thronged to cinemas in large numbers to make it a path-breaking blockbuster in this genre with nearly 600 crores worldwide. Top 10 Most Searched Movies in India on Google in 2025 Following the big success of Sanam Teri Kasam re-release, actor Harshvardhan's Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat continued the momentum by attracting younger audiences seeking heartfelt narratives, melodious soundtracks, and relatable portrayals of love. It not only crossed 100 crores worldwide but also became the actor's biggest grosser yet. As the year was approaching its end, there came Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's Tere Ishk Mein, which further cemented the success of this genre with its strong theatrical run so far. The movie is currently playing in theatres in its second week, already grossing nearly 120 crores worldwide in 8 days. Its success showcased that well-made romantic dramas still have the power to pull crowds and spark conversations, contrary to the belief that only mass action entertainers guarantee big openings and long legs at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Adding to this successful streak, the romantic-comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, scheduled for release on December 25, is already buzzing among audiences. Early chatter within the trade suggests a promising run, with the film expected to close the year on a high note for the romantic genre. Together, these films have not only dominated social media chatter but also reshaped industry expectations. The box office performance of these romantic titles stands as a clear reminder that big-screen cinema thrives across genres. Stay tuned...

Tere Ishk Mein Box Office: Dhanush, Kriti Sanon's Romance Drama Heading To Enter 100 Crore Club

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, December 6 - Dhanush and Kriti Sanon's Tere Ishk Mein has started the second weekend with a decent hold, scoring approximately 3.75 crores net collection in both Hindi and Tamil versions. The movie has a big competition this week in the form of Dhurandhar, which is clearly the number 1 movie of the weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Anand L Rai, Tere Ishk Mein lost around 60% shows in the second weekend from the first week due to the arrival of Ranveer Singh-starrer. In the original Hindi version, it raked in 3.50 crores net on the second Friday, dropping by around 77% from the first Friday, and approximately 25 lakh in Tamil. Overall, the romantic drama has piled up 83.25 crores net in Hindi and around 4.15 crores in Tamil, pushing the total domestic haul to 87.40 crores net (103.75 crores gross) through the second Friday. It will cross the 100 crores net mark by the second Sunday, and will become the first movie (Hindi or non-Hindi) of Dhanush to achieve the feat. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Tere Ishq Mein is also putting up decent performance at the overseas box office, grossing an estimated 14.25 crores in 8 days. Combined with domestic gross, it has minted 118 crores worldwide so far, heading towards 135 crores gross at the end of the second weekend. As said, TIK is a box office hit, continuing the good year for romantic dramas. At this point, the film is looking to finish its box office run around 175 crores worldwide, but it needs to be seen how it fares during the weekdays since Dhuradhar is expected to dominate with positive word of mouth by its side.

Kalamkaval Box Office: Mammootty Delivers His BIGGEST Opening of 2025, Surpasses Bazooka

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Mammootty's new crime drama, Kalamkaval, has started its box office journey on a strong note, emerging as the actor's biggest opener of 2025. According to live data, the film collected a powerful ₹4.75 crore in India net collections on its first day, Friday, December 5. This strong opening firmly places Kalamkaval at the top of Mammootty's 2025 releases, comfortably surpassing his other films from this year. Kalamkaval: ₹4.75 Cr (India Net) Bazooka:₹3.70 Cr (Day 1 Gross) Dominic and the Ladies Purse: ₹2.05 Cr (Day 1 India Gross) This strong opening is fueled by a powerhouse combination of talent. The film marks the first collaboration between megastar Mammootty and director Jithin K. Jose, who is already a name synonymous with success in the crime genre. Jithin K. Jose previously helmed the blockbuster Kurup, which starred Mammootty's son, Dulquer Salmaan. Kurup was a massive critical and commercial success, earning a Superhit verdict with a worldwide collection of ₹78 crore. The director's proven ability to craft a gripping crime narrative has created immense anticipation for Kalamkaval, and this opening number proves that the audience's expectations have been met. The film's appeal is further boosted by a strong and talented supporting cast. Joining Mammootty on screen are acclaimed actors Vinayakan, Rajisha Vijayan, and Malavika Menon in pivotal roles, adding significant depth to the crime drama. With a star of Mammootty's stature, a director with a blockbuster crime drama under his belt, and a story that has clearly intrigued the audience, Kalamkaval has all the markings of a winner. The solid Day 1 collection provides a fantastic foundation, and with positive word-of-mouth, the film is expected to soar even higher through the weekend.

In a shocking development that has left fans stunned, the much-awaited Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer, Akhanda 2, has been postponed indefinitely. The film's release was abruptly halted just hours before its scheduled worldwide premiere on December 5, 2025, leading to widespread disappointment and confusion. The production house, 14 Reels Plus, issued a heartfelt apology on social media, confirming the unexpected delay. We've tried our absolute best to bring Akhanda2 to the big screens, but despite our tireless efforts, sometimes, the most unexpected things happen, and unfortunately, this is that time, the statement read. They extended a sincere apology to all the fans and cinema lovers across the world who have been eagerly waiting for the film with so much anticipation.

A stay order was reportedly issued by the Madras High Court after a petition from Eros International Media Limited regarding outstanding dues of around ₹28 crore from the production house. This last-minute legal intervention forced the cancellation of all premiere shows in India and overseas, leaving fans who had gathered at theaters in the lurch. While the delay is a major setback, there might be one unexpected advantage. The film's complete audio jukebox is already out. With the release now pushed back, the music has more time to marinate and grow on listeners. This extended period could allow the songs to become chartbusters, potentially creating even more hype for the film when it eventually hits theaters. History has shown that many delayed films have benefited immensely from their music picking up momentum and becoming a craze before the release, a phenomenon fans now hope will repeat for Akhanda 2. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite the challenging circumstances, the producers thanked the film's star and director for their unwavering support. We are forever grateful to our dearest God of Masses NandamuriBalakrishna Garu and BoyapatiSreenu Garu for standing by us during this challenging moment. Reassuring fans that the film's arrival is imminent, the makers ended their statement with a powerful promise: AKHANDA-2 WILL HIT THE BULLSEYE WHENEVER IT ARRIVES...COMING VERY SOON WITH A NEW DATE.The industry and fans are now keenly awaiting the resolution of these issues and the announcement of a new release date for the action saga.

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Ranveer Singh has roared back into the box office game, and this time, he's done it in a brand new avatar. His first foray into the spy genre, Dhurandhar, has not only impressed critics and audiences but has also set the cash registers ringing. The film has delivered a powerful performance on its opening day, establishing a new personal record for the actor and shaking up this year's box office rankings. Garnering positive buzz and a strong IMDb rating of 7.8, the Aditya Dhar directorial opened to a massive ₹27 crore (India net) on its first day. This impressive figure marks Ranveer Singh's biggest opening day ever, surpassing his previous blockbusters like the historical epic Padmaavat and the high-octane cop drama Simmba. With this powerful start, Dhurandhar has stormed into the top rankings for 2025 openings. It has secured the third position, racing ahead of major releases like Salman Khan's Sikandar (₹26 cr) and the star-studded Housefull 5 (₹24 cr). The film currently stands just behind War 2 (₹29 cr) and the year's biggest opener, Chhaava (₹31 cr). Top 10 Biggest Day 1 Collections of 2025 (India Net) Chhaava: ₹31 cr War 2: ₹29 cr Dhurandhar: ₹27 cr Sikandar:₹26 cr Housefull 5: ₹24 cr Thamma: ₹24 cr Saiyaaira: ₹22 cr Raid 2: ₹19 cr Tere Ishk Mein: ₹15 cr Jolly LLB 3: ₹13 cr This opening is a significant milestone for Ranveer, proving his versatility and box office pull across different genres. While he has consistently delivered hits in romantic comedies and historical dramas, Dhurandhar solidifies his position as a bankable action star.

Early estimates for Day 2 (Saturday) stand at ₹1.09 Cr, though final figures are still being compiled and are expected to grow. The strong word-of-mouth and positive reviews are crucial for momentum. Given the spectacular start and audience appreciation, trade analysts are predicting a strong opening week for Dhurandhar. If the film maintains its hold, it is projected to collect anywhere between ₹90 to ₹110 crore in its first week, setting it on the path to becoming another major hit in Ranveer Singh's celebrated filmography.

Dhurandhar Box Office: Spy Actioner Emerges Ranveer Singh's Biggest Opener

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Mumbai, December 6 - Ranveer Singh's A-rated high-octane spy thriller Dhurandhar exceeded expectations, delivering the biggest opening day of the actor's career. The film arrived with solid buzz, but its real momentum began just a day before release, when advance bookings picked up sharply, pushing pre-sales to nearly 10 crore on opening day alone. This surge signalled that Dhurandhar was headed toward a significant start. On its opening day, Aditya Dhar's directorial scored an estimated 27 crores in net collection. There are allegations that the makers did some feeding, but the opening is good and career-best for Ranveer after beating Simmba, which minted 20.75 crores net and was the third-biggest Bollywood opening of 2025. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Initially, the trade expected an opening in the mid-teens, but the massive last-minute upswing changed the trajectory entirely. With strong pre-release excitement, the film's first-day projections quickly jumped to the 20 crore range. The anticipation around Ranveer's action-packed avatar and the sleek spy universe helped drive strong interest across metros and mass belts alike. What truly elevated Dhurandhar's opening-day numbers, however, was the strong spot-booking response. Positive early word-of-mouth fuelled walk-in audiences throughout the day, ensuring that the film didn't just rely on advance sales. The combination of action, style, and commercial storytelling appears to have clicked with viewers, resulting in packed shows across key centres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Worldwide, Dhurandhar has grossed in the range of 40 crores, which is superb. With this impressive start, Dhurandhar becomes Ranveer Singh's biggest opener to date — a milestone that boosts both the film's momentum and the actor's box-office standing. If the audience reactions continue on the same positive note, the film is well-positioned for a strong weekend and potentially a robust lifetime run. Stay tuned...

The Raja Saab Faces Major Setback as Avatar 3 Takes Over All IMAX Screens for Four Weeks

BY CHRISTA LINCY

In a disappointing turn of events for fans of pan-India star Prabhas, his much-anticipated film, The Raja Saab, will not be released in IMAX format. The reason behind this is a direct clash with James Cameron's highly awaited Avatar: Fire and Ash,the third installment in the blockbuster franchise. The news was confirmed by Prathyangira Cinemas, the overseas distributor for The Raja Saab,in a recent social media announcement. According to their statement, a four-week exclusive contract between Avatar 3 and IMAX will prevent The Raja Saab from being screened in the premium large-screen format. Due to the exclusive 4-week contract between Avatar3 and IMAX, IMAX is unable to support TheRajaSaab. So there will be no IMAX format for this film, the distributor stated. The scheduling conflict arises from the films' release dates. Avatar: Fire and Ash is set for a global release on December 19, 2025, while The Raja Saab is slated to hit theaters shortly after on January 9, 2026, coinciding with the Sankranti festival. This places the Prabhas-starrer squarely within the exclusivity window for the Hollywood behemoth. The challenge for The Raja Saab doesn't end with IMAX. Prathyangira Cinemas also revealed that other specialty formats such as PLF and DBOX are tied up with Avatar 3 for the same four-week period. However, the distributor has assured fans that they are pushing hard to secure as many special-format shows as possible. The Raja Saab is a romantic horror-comedy directed by Maruthi Dasari.The film features a star-studded cast including Prabhas, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Sanjay Dutt. The movie promises to showcase a different side of Prabhas, known for his action-packed roles. Interestingly, despite the setback with premium screens, the distributors of The Raja Saab have opened advance bookings in the US. This has sparked a debate among fans, with reports indicating that the ticket prices for the Prabhas-starrer are higher than those for Avatar: Fire and Ash, leading to some surprise and discussion on social media.

Pushpa 3 Plans Dropped? Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule First Anniversary Post Hints At Goodbye To The Franchise

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, December 5 - Superstar Allu Arjun sparked speculations about the future of his mega blockbuster Pushpa franchise after sharing an emotional anniversary post marking one year of Pushpa 2: The Rule. While fans were still hoping for some update on Pushpa 3, the actor instead penned a reflective message that sounded more like a heartfelt farewell than a continuation of the action drama franchise. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Allu Arjun's words have left many wondering whether the Pushpa franchise has quietly come to an end despite earlier confirmations from the team, especially from director Sukumar himself, about a third instalment. In his post on X, the actor wrote, "PUSHPA has been an unforgettable five-year journey in our lives," before expressing deep gratitude to audiences for the "immense love, strength, and courage" they gave the team. AA then went on to thank his co-stars, technicians, producers, distributors, and director Sukumar, referring to the entire experience in a tone fans felt was unusually conclusive. The actor concluded the post with, "With a heart full of gratitude once again... THANK YOU," without any mention of the franchise's plans. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Over the year or so, both Sukumar and the producers have hinted at a trilogy, and Pushpa 3: The Rampage was widely believed to be in development. However, Allu Arjun's anniversary note did not offer a single hint or assurance about the franchise's next chapter. Instead, the post has been interpreted by many as suggesting that the team may have wrapped up the saga with Pushpa 2, or at the very least, that the future of the third part remains uncertain. While the makers in previous interviews indicated that Pushpa would continue, the tone of Allu Arjun's message has hinted but confirmed that he has moved on from the epic journey, which kicked off in 2021. Until the official confirmation, the speculations will continue to swirl around whether Pushpa Raj's journey has reached its unexpected end — or whether Pushpa 3 is still silently in the works.
