Biggest Kannada Hit of 2025: Raj B Shetty's Su From So Shatters Box Office Records, OTT Platform and Release Details Revealed
Bengaluru, September 6 – In a year which has been a nightmare for Kannada cinema, a small-budgeted horror-comedy drama Su From So stands apart like the brightest star. It has not only emerged as the biggest Kannada blockbuster of 2025, but also become one of the top 5 all-time grossers worldwide. Produced by Raj B Shetty under the banner of Lighter Buddha Films, the film has enjoyed a phenomenal run at the worldwide box office. After six successful weeks in theatres, the film has grossed over 121 crores worldwide, a remarkable feat for a Kannada entertainer in the comedy genre. Box Office Triumph With its impressive collection, Su From So has become the highest-grossing Kannada film of 2025. The movie currently stands as the fourth-highest-grossing Kannada film of all time, behind only the industry giants – KGF: Chapter 2, KGF: Chapter 1, and Kantara. The film's strong hold in Karnataka, along with steady contributions from the rest of India and overseas markets, has pushed its numbers to record-breaking levels. Audience Reception Directed by J. P. Thuminad, the horror-comedy struck a chord with family audiences and youngsters alike, thanks to its mix of humour, scares, and mass moments. Word-of-mouth has played a crucial role in sustaining the film over six weeks, turning it into a long-running success story. OTT Release Update After a glorious theatrical journey, Su From So is now set for its digital premiere on Jio Hotstar from September 9, 2025. Initially, the film was supposed to premiere on September 5, after 6 6-week of theatrical run, but the streamer has delayed the release by a few days, owing to its strong box office run. It will stream in Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam languages. With its box office glory and upcoming OTT release, Su From So has cemented itself as a landmark film in Kannada cinema for 2025, proving that content-driven entertainers can also become industry-defining hits.
