Top 10 Biggest Indian Grossers of 2025 At The Overseas Box Office

Top 10 Biggest Indian Grossers of 2025 At The Overseas Box Office

Mumbai, December 4 - The Indian films have had a decent year at the overseas box office, which showcased a striking mix of regional powerhouses and pan-Indian titles. From Tamil and Malayalam films punching above their weight to big-budget Hindi entertainers finding audiences abroad, the list below reflects not just star power but a widening global appetite for Indian cinema in multiple languages. At the top (so far) sits superstar Rajinikanth's Coolie with a commanding 180.50 crore. In comparison, the top 10 as a whole have pulled in approximately 1125 crore overseas, a clear sign that 2025 was a decent year for Indian films beyond domestic shores. A few trends stand out. South Indian films, particularly Tamil and Malayalam, continued to dominate the upper ranks, showing the sustained international reach of regional content. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Big franchise and action titles such as L2: Empuraan and Kantara Chapter 1 also performed superbly, proving that sequels and spectacle remain reliable overseas earners. Meanwhile, comedies and mass entertainers like Housefull 5 and Good Bad Ugly indicate that the diaspora and local markets still make space for lighter, crowd-pleasing fare. Language diversity is another takeaway: the top ten biggest Indian overseas grossers include Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada releases, demonstrating that language is less of a barrier overseas when a film has strong word-of-mouth, star appeal, or franchise recognition, even though some of the films in the list underperformed to their reputation. With the year approaching its end, the top 10 list can still be changed with a couple of big titles scheduled to release in December. Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, which releases on December 5, will be looking to make a solid impact at the box office. There is Kartik Aaryan's TMMTMTTM (December 25), which is expected to generate big hype during the Christmas corridor.

Lokah Creates History: Kalyani Priyadarshan's Superhero Saga Beats Mohanlal's Empuraan To Become Biggest Malayalam Grosser Worldwide

Lokah Creates History: Kalyani Priyadarshan's Superhero Saga Beats Mohanlal's Empuraan To Become Biggest Malayalam Grosser Worldwide

Kochi, September 20 - Kalyani Priyadarshan has etched her name in history as her superhero film Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra has become the Malayalam industry hit by beating superstar Mohanlal's political actioner Empuraan at the time of writing this piece. The film, which has been on a dream run ever since its release, has now overtaken Empuraan on its 24th day. Empuraan was released earlier this year and finished its box office journey with around 267 crores worldwide. Lokah is expected to be around 270 crores gross at the end of the day. Directed by Dominic Arun, Chandra has witnessed phenomenal numbers across domestic and overseas markets, powered by strong word of mouth, repeat viewings, and an engaging story that resonated with family audiences. The film's box office run is far from over, and trade analysts believe it could add many more crores before completing its theatrical journey. Though it will take more than what is left in the tank, Lokah has an outside chance of topping 300 crores worldwide, a dream Malayalam industry thought Empuraan would acheive. The achievement of the latest sensation is significant as it comes with a film led by a female. Until now, the list of top-grossing films has been dominated by male superstars, making Lokah's triumph an inspiring milestone. There is no doubt that Lokah is a watershed event for Malayalam cinema that could pave the way for more women-centric blockbusters in the industry. With this massive success, Kalyani has not only delivered the performance of her career but also rewritten the rules of box office dominance. Stay tuned...

Overseas Box Office: Kalyani Priyadarshan's Lokah Joins Mohanlal's Thudarum and Empuraan in $10 Million Club

Overseas Box Office: Kalyani Priyadarshan's Lokah Joins Mohanlal's Thudarum and Empuraan in $10 Million Club

Kochi, September 8 - Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero film Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra has achieved a remarkable milestone at the overseas box office. Dominic Arun's directorial is wreaking havoc in the international markets, and has topped $10 million gross collection in just 11 days. With this feat, Dulquer Salmaan's production has placed itself among the rare Malayalam films to touch such numbers internationally. The film's overseas performance is particularly significant as it has joined the elite club of Malayalam movies led by Mohanlal's Empuraan and Thudarum in the $10 million club. Before 2025, not a single Malayalam film reached $10 million overseas box office milestone, and now, the industry has three titles in the coveted club. In 11 days, it has grossed 91 crores ($10.3+ million). Superstar Mohanlal's L2: Empuraan is currently the highest-grossing Mollywood film with 124.50 crores ($13.75+ million), followed by his Thudarum with 94 crores ($10.50+ million). Industry experts attribute the movie's success to its universal appeal, a strong narrative rooted in mythological fantasy, and Kalyani's standout performance, which has received glowing reviews. The film was made on a budget of 30 crores, which is comparatively very low than the average movie of Bollywood, Kollywood, and Tollywood. Meanwhile, at the worldwide box office, Lokah is nearing 200 crores gross. It has grossed approximately 185+ crores through the second weekend (11 days). It will cross the milestone in a day or two, and then will begin its race to become the highest-grossing Malayalam film, while having a real shot at becoming the first 300 crores Mollywood blockbuster of all time.

Top Indian Overseas Grosser 2025: Rajinikanth's Coolie Tops

Top Indian Overseas Grosser 2025: Rajinikanth's Coolie Tops

Mumbai, August 31 - 2025 has turned into a good year so far for Indian films in the overseas market, with movies from the Bollywood, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam industries making a splash at the global box office. From grand romantic sagas to star-powered action blockbusters, audiences across the world have embraced Indian cinema like never before. Sun Pictures' gangster action drama, Coolie, starring superstar Rajinikanth, was released on August 14, and within no time, it has stormed to the top spot among the biggest Indian grossers at the overseas box office. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film is yet to complete its first weekend, already grossing over 150 crores overseas in 5 days. Yash Raj Films' romantic drama, Saiyaara, starring debutante Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, became a global sensation. This has been the biggest success story of Indian cinema this year. Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara blended soulful music, passionate storytelling, and stunning visuals, making it a cross-cultural hit. The film's theme connected not only with Indian audiences but across the world, making it the biggest Indian blockbuster in the international market. The Malayalam megahit, Empuraan, starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, was hit by controversy in India, but that didn't stop it from making a big hit at the box office, not just in India but also internationally. It continued the Lucifer saga with high-octane political intrigue and action. The film"™s international fan base, built from the first part, turned Empuraan into a global blockbuster. Thudarum, one of the biggest Malayalam blockbusters in recent times, stunned the trade and went on to score big at the box office. The action thriller, starring Mohanlal, did wonders globally and became one of only three Malayalam titles to cross 200 crores worldwide, including close to 100 crores gross from overseas markets. The historical epic, Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, impressed both domestic and global audiences and is currently the biggest Indian grosser worldwide with over 800 crores in collection. This Laxman Utekar's directorial's grand battle sequences, rich production design, and a patriotic storyline drove its stellar overseas run with close to 100 crores gross. Housefull 5, Bollywood's favourite comedy franchise, returned bigger and zanier. Despite the disappointment of not living up to expectations, this Akshay Kumar-led film did decently at the box office and is so far among the top overseas grossers. The film's mixed slapstick humour, exotic locations, and star power captured the attention of family audiences abroad, especially in the Gulf and the UK. Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, Good Bad Ugly marked a major comeback for superstar Ajith Kumar, after the big failure of Vidaamuyarchi. Ajith's vintage avatar in the movie was celebrated by the fans worldwide. It became the first film of the actor to hit 200 crores worldwide gross, including a good performance in overseas markets. War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, has underperformed at the box office, be it domestic or overseas. In the first 5 days, the film grossed approximately 63 crores internationally. The movie is directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Yash Raj Films. After the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha, Aamir Khan returned to winning ways with Sitaare Zameen Par, a heartfelt comedy-drama that follows a suspended basketball coach who must serve community service by helping a team of players with disabilities prepare for a tournament. Just like Ajith Kumar, SZP proved to be a comeback movie for Aamir Khan by emerging as a box office hit in India and overseas. Sikandar, one of the major letdowns of the year, this Salman Khan-led action drama failed to perform to expectations despite featuring among the top 10 biggest overseas grossers. Directed by a seasoned director like AR Murugadoss, Sikandar finished below 200 crores worldwide, while its overseas performance was also not good. What Sikandar proved for Bollywood, Thug Life met the same fate for Kollywood. Kamal Haasan's much-awaited action-thriller, directed by Mani Ratnam, blended artful filmmaking with mass entertainment. The film's international premieres were major events, boosting its overseas revenue. However, it turned into a big disaster, failing to capitalise on the huge buzz. Before scoring his biggest grosser with Good Bad Ugly, Ajith Kumar had a big setback with the action-drama Vidamuyarchi. It was among the biggest failures. With heavyweights like War 2 and Coolie yet to arrive, the overseas box office race of 2025 is far from over. But for now, Saiyaara sits at the top, proving that heartfelt romance can still rule the world stage in the age of action spectacles. Stay tuned...
