The year 2025 has been quite an eventful one for the Hindi film industry. We witnessed a diverse mix of films working at the box office, ranging from historical epics to high-octane spy thrillers. While a few big-ticket releases struggled to make a mark, several content-driven and commercial entertainers successfully drew audiences to the theatres. It was a year where Vicky Kaushal delivered a massive blockbuster, the Horror-Comedy universe extended its winning streak, and Ranveer Singh made a solid return to the big screen. As we analyze the annual report card, here is the verified list of Bollywood movies that managed to cross the coveted ₹100 Crore mark at the box office in 2025. CHHAAVA (The All-Time Blockbuster) Vicky Kaushal's portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj has not just won hearts; it has shattered records. Directed by Laxman Utekar, this historical epic became a cultural phenomenon.

2025 in Review: Highly Anticipated Films That Disappointed at the Box Office

Having a big star cast and a huge budget does not always guarantee a film's success at the box office. Every year, some of the most awaited movies fail to connect with the audience and end up being major disappointments. The year 2025 saw several such films that had immense pre-release hype but could not deliver the expected results. Let's take a look at the big-scale films that underperformed this year.

War 2, the sequel to a mammoth blockbuster, opened huge due to the hype. However, negative word-of-mouth spread quickly, and the film failed the crucial Monday test, with collections dropping over 70% from its opening day. It was unable to recover and ended its run as a theatrical flop. Salman Khan's Eid offering, Sikandar, also opened big but saw no growth over the weekend. The collections crashed on Monday, and the film barely managed to recover its budget, making it a major underperformer. Franchise films also took a hit this year. Baaghi 4, starring Tiger Shroff, failed to make an impact and ended its run with collections below its budget. Sonu Sood's directorial, Fateh, had a very poor run in theaters. However, some reports suggest the film found its audience after its release on OTT platforms. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) South Indian cinema also delivered some of the year's biggest shocks. Ram Charan and director Shankar's mega-budget film Game Changer was expected to be a pan-India blockbuster. However, the film was rejected by the audience from day one and struggled to even cross the ₹200 crore mark against its massive budget. Kamal Haasan's Thug Life, Ajith Kumar's Vidaamuyarchi , and Vikram's Veera Dheera Sooran also were the other highly anticipated Tamil films that failed to perform. The films received poor reviews, which resulted in a short and unprofitable theatrical run. Pawan Kalyan's long-in-the-making period action film Hari Hara Veera Mallu also turned out to be a major disapointment. Made on a budget of over ₹250 crore, the film's collections did not even cross the halfway mark. The historical film 120 Bahadur, despite its interesting subject, has failed to attract audiences and its collections have remained very low in its run so far, while the film is still in theaters.

Salman Khan Takes A Dig At Director AR Murugadoss For His Remark On Sikandar's Failure

Mumbai, October 13 - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has taken a sarcastic dig at director AR Murugadoss, who made wild excuses for the failure of Sikandar. The action drama, which marked Salman's first collaboration with ARM, was released earlier this year and bombed at the box office. During the recent interview, ARM said that it was difficult for him to work on the film as he seemingly accused the superstar of reporting late to the sets. Though ARM also said that Salman used to come at 8 PM due to the security threat, his remarks didn't go well with the actor. During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Big Boss 19, Salman responded to the criticism with his trademark wit. "I used to reach the set at 9 PM, but my ribs were fractured." In a sarcastic tone, Salman added, "Hamare director sahab bolte the aisa, lekin unki picture (Madharaasi) jo abhi release hui hai, uske actor to 6 baje pahuchte the. Wo Sikandar se bhi badi blockbuster hai". Salman also stated that both producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Murugadoss distanced themselves from Sikandar after its box-office failure. "First, Sajid left, and then Murugadoss also stepped away to work on a South film," he quipped, hinting that the team moved on quickly after the film's underwhelming performance. #Latest: On the #BiggBoss19 set, Megastar #SalmanKhan finally opened up about what went wrong with Sikandar and took a strong stand against director A.R.

Top 10 Biggest First Week Grossers of 2025 In Hindi: Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 Fifth

Mumbai, October 10 - Amid the dominance of outright Bollywood films, a South Indian title has also made a noise as far as the biggest first earners of 2025 in Hindi are concerned. Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 has lived up to the expectations to score 100+ crores opening week in the dubbed Hindi version. The film's Hindi version has scored a good first-week collection of 107 crore net, making it the fifth biggest first-week grosser of 2025 in Hindi. The achievement is even more impressive considering it's a dubbed Kannada release competing with some of Bollywood's biggest franchises and star-studded blockbusters. Vicky Kaushal's mega blockbuster Chhaava is the biggest opening week grosser of 2025 in Hindi, with dominating numbers of 219 crore, setting a new benchmark for Hindi films this year. It's followed by Yash Raj Films' unexpected blockbuster Saiyaara, starring debutante Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, with 173 crores, while Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR's War 2 is third in the list with 150 crores first week. Here are the top 10 biggest first-week net-grossers of 2025 in Hindi - 1. Chhaava – 219.25 crore 2. Saiyaara – 172.75 crore 3. War 2 – 150.40 crore 4. Housefull 5 – 127.25 crore 5. Kantara Chapter 1 – 106.95 crore 6. Raid 2 – 95.75 crore 7. Sitaare Zameen Par – 88.00 crore 8. Sky Force – 86.50 crore 9. Sikandar – 90.25 crore 10. Jolly LLB 3 – 74.00 crore While Chhaava continues to reign supreme with an extraordinary 219+ crore first week, Saiyaara did surprise one and all with a massive opening week. YRF's War 2, though it is the third in the list, largely underperformed considering the massive expectations had from it. Kantara 2 entering the 100 crores club within the first week is a solid result for a dubbed version. With multiple 100 crore openers and even mid-range films showing resilience, 2025 is set to hear for a solid end with a few potential blockbusters lined up to release in the remaining months.

Did AR Murugadoss Blame Salman Khan For Sikandar's Box Office Failure? Bollywood

Did AR Murugadoss Blame Salman Khan For Sikandar's Box Office Failure?

Chennai, August 19 - Tamil director AR Murugadoss has been in the media headlines ever since his film, Sikandar with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, failed miserably at the box office and turned into one of the lowest-grossing films of the actor in many years. ## In one of the interviews, the Ghajini director reasoned that due to a language barrier, he couldn't properly execute his plans, which led to the downfall of the film. Now, a new report is circulating on social media where it is claiming that ARM blamed Salman for the film's box office failure. ## According to the many reports, referring to ARM's interview with Bhardwaj Ranjan, it is said that the filmmaker accused the Bajrangi Bhaijaan star of not coming on the set during the day, as they had to shoot the film only after 9 PM, even with school-going children. ## While it is true that ARM said the above thing, it is not entirely true that he put the blame on Salman. The filmmaker reasoned that due to death threats to the superstar (which are valid and genuine), they couldn't shoot the film during the day in open areas, and that is why they chose night schedules. ## Because of this unavoidable reason, the shooting of Sikandar had a lot of spot changes and involved CG work more than expected. The Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty director, however, claimed that he couldn't execute the original story, which was close to his heart. And that he was not the only one who was accountable for his poor execution, as he did not have a commanding unit. ## Meanwhile, ARM is gearing up for the release of Madharaasi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, which is scheduled for September 5. ## Stay tuned...

Sikandar Director AR Murugadoss Responds To Why Tamil Cinema Is Not Able To Produce 1000 Crore Films

Chennai, August 18 - Tamil director AR Murugadoss, who last directed superstar Salman Khan's Sikandar, has been in the news for the past few weeks for various reasons. The director caught everyone's attention recently when he blamed the language barrier for the box office failure of Sikandar, even though he had delivered a couple of big blockbusters in Hindi. ## A few weeks after his statement regarding Sikandar's failure went viral, the Ghajini director gave another statement, which is making a lot of noise on social media. During the promotion of his upcoming film Madharaasi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, Murugadoss explained why Tamil films are not earning 1000 crores worldwide, while other top industries do. ## Speaking to Valaipechu Voice, the director observed that Tamil filmmakers approach cinema differently from their counterparts in other industries. "Filmmakers in other languages tend to concentrate on entertaining people only, whereas Tamil directors tend to view cinema from an educational standpoint," he said. ## He noted that "Tamil cinema typically carries messages of what viewers should or should not do, which impacts their commercial success," while stressing that "Tamil directors are not to be compared directly with filmmakers from other regions because their goals are different." ## Meanwhile, ARM's Madharaasi is scheduled to release on September 5. It stars Sivakarthikeyan, Vidyut Jammwal, Biju Menon, Vikranth, Shabeer Kallarakkal and Rukmini Vasanth in the lead roles, alongside Prem Kumar, Sanjay and Sachana Namidass. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, July 31 - Tamil director AR Murugadoss returned to Hindi cinema after 9 years with superstar Salman Khan-fronted action drama Sikandar. However, the filmmaker's grand return didn't bring desired results as the film flopped at the box office, finishing under 200 crores gross collection worldwide. ## The film was panned by critics and audiences alike, and now, Murugadoss has come up with a weird and unwanted reason to justify the failure of the movie. During the promotion of his upcoming film Madharaasi, the filmmaker spoke about Sikandar and said that it failed due to the language barrier. ## He revealed that working on Sikandar felt like being at a disadvantage, as he described it as feeling "handicapped" on set due to his inability to understand Hindi fluently, saying he often didn't understand what was happening around him. ## "When we make films in our mother tongue, it gives us strength. We know what is happening here. Today, there's a trend going and suddenly the audience gets connected with that trend. When we shift language, we don't know what the youngsters are enjoying in that language. All we need is a script to believe it", he said. ## He further explained, "For once, I can take up Telugu films, but Hindi may not work for us because after we write the script, they translate it into English. Then it is again translated into Hindi. We can only guess what they are saying, but we are not exactly sure about what is happening. When you make a film in an unknown language and place, it feels like you are handicapped. It is like you don't have hands. I strongly believe our strength depends on where and which culture we come from". ## It is weird that Murugadoss has come up with this silly reason of not understanding Hindi. Before Sikandar, the director previously helmed three Hindi films, and two of them (Ghajini and Holiday) became blockbusters. It proves that his language excuse doesn't fully hold up — it's more about how prepared and empowered a filmmaker feels in a new environment. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Ahaan Pandey, Aneet Padda's Saiyaara Surpasses Lifetime Collection of Salman Khan's Sikandar In 5 Days; Becomes 5th Biggest Bollywood Grosser of 2025 Worldwide

Mumbai, July 23 - Yash Raj Films' Saiyaara is carving its own way at the box office and downing top star films with each passing day.

On its fifth day, the film collected an estimated 30 crores gross domestically and 7 crores overseas, bringing in a total of 37 crores for the day. ## This takes the film's 5-day worldwide total to approximately 188 crores gross, including 158 crores from India and 30 crores from overseas markets. ## Saiyaara crossed Salman Khan's Sikandar, becomes 5th biggest Bollywood grosser of 2025 ## With its latest earnings, Saiyaara has officially surpassed the lifetime worldwide total of superstar Salman Khan's Sikandar (185 crores), becoming the 5th highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2025. It now trails only behind Raid 2, Sitaare Zameen Par, Housefull 5, and Chhaava. ## The Mohit Suri directorial had earlier eclipsed the full collections of Akshay Kumar's Sky Force (150 crores) and Kesari: Chapter 2 (145 crores) within just 4 days, debuting at No. 6 before moving up a rank on Day 5. Overall, after the 5th day. Saiyaara is the 9th biggest Indian grosser of 2025 worldwide. ## Saiyaara to cross 200 crores worldwide in 6 days ## The momentum shows no signs of slowing down as Saiyaara is expected to collect another 20-25 crores gross worldwide on Day 6, which will push its worldwide total past the 200 crores mark. It will become the fastest Bollywood film led by newcomers to enter the 200-crore club and among the quickest non-pan-India films ever to achieve the feat. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Sikandar' First Wednesday/Fourth Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 2 - Superstar Salman Khan's action drama Sikandar has had an underwhelming first three days during the Eid weekend at the domestic box office with around 74.50 crores net collection, and to make things further gloomy, it has witnessed a big drop of around 50% on its first Wednesday. ## According to the early estimates, Sikandar has scored in the range of 9.50-10.50 crores net collection on its 4th day, pushing the total collection to around 84 crores. The drop was expected as word of mouth is poor, and the fact that it was coming after the Holiday weekend. ## The film is likely to enter the 100 crores net club by Friday or Saturday, but that's no longer a milestone to brag about, as the movie is clearly failing to meet the massive expectations the trade had from it. It is now more about reaching a respectable total which will still be a tough ask going forward. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Sikandar' First Tuesday/Third Day Estimates

Mumbai, April 1 - After the underwhelming first two days of around 55 crores net collection, superstar Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna's action drama Sikandar has shown a much better hold than expected on its third day at the domestic box office. ## The AR Murugadoss directorial is showing a drop of around 30% from the Eid day, as early estimates suggest the collection to be in the range of 19-20 crores net on the first Tuesday. It has the benefit of the Basi Eid Holiday today as total collection is around 74 crores after 3 days. ## The audience word of mouth is poor, so there was the fear among the trade that the movie might collapse after Eid day, but the good hold has reignited some hope for the makers.## The real test for Sikandar will begin from Wednesday, though it is now certain to enter the 100 crores club as there is not much competition leading to the second weekend. The lower-than-expected first two days have almost sealed but confirmed the film's fate, but it can still manage to reach a respectable lifetime total by showing similar hold going forward. ## Stay tuned...
