2025's most profitable Indian film, made for just Rs 7 crore, beat Chhaava, Sitaare Zameena Par, Housefull 5, Raid 2, name is... 2024 continues to be another blockbuster year for Indian cinema. While South Indian films like L 2: Empuraan and Sankranthiki Vasthunam emerged as superhits, Hindi films like Sitaare Zameen Par and Chhaava earned massive appreciation, too. However, if we talk about this year's most profitable Indian film- that crown went to a tiny Rs 7 crore budget film with no superstars. India's most profitable film in 2025 The Tamil comedy drama, Tourist Family, is the most profitable Indian film of 2025 so far. Helmed by Abishan Jeevinth, the film build a steady following during its theatrical run due to strong word-of-mouth and repeated viewings. Made in a budget of Rs 7 crore, the film earned Rs 90 crore worldwide, making a staggering profit of 1200%. Released on April 29, the film starred Mithun Jai Sankar, M Sasikumar, Ramesh Thilak and others in prominent roles. Tourist family earned Rs 23 crore in its first week, but performed better in its second week, grossing Rs 29 crore more. After five weeks, the slice-of-life comedy drama ended its domestic run with Rs 6 crore, including Rs 90 crore worldwide. How Tourist Family surpasses other Bollywood hits? The Abishan Jeevinth film has managed to surpass Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava that made a profit of 800% against the Rs 90 crore budget. Moreover, Tourist Family also beat Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par that made 300% profit so far, and Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 , which couldn't generate a profit despite grossing Rs 300 crore worldwide. About Tourist Family Tourist Family follows the resilience and emotional struggles of a family who are forced to move to Tamil Nadu, leaving their home in Sri Lanka. During a time of COVID-19 crisis and socio-political struggles, the family move to India and adjust in a new nation, eventually becoming Indian citizens. If you haven't watch M Sasikumar-starrer Tourist Family yet, than you can catch this blockbuster film on JioHotstar.

Dating The Mahabharata: A Cinematic Triumph Of Science, History, And Sanatan Dharma
What sets this documentary apart is its celebration of Sanatan Dharma's intrinsic scientific temper In an era where historical narratives are often shaped by fragmented evidence or ideological agendas, Dating The Mahabharata, a documentary by Prachyam, stands as a beacon of intellectual rigour and cultural pride. I was glued to the screen for so long after a long time. Directed with meticulous precision by Capt Praveen Chaturvedi, the founder & CEO of Prachyam Studios, and rooted in the groundbreaking research of Nilesh Oak, this film, available on the Prachyam OTT platform, redefines how we perceive ancient Indian history. By anchoring the Mahabharata War to 5561 BCE through astronomical evidence, the documentary not only validates the antiquity of Hindu civilisation but also highlights the unparalleled scientific temper embedded in Sanatan Dharma. Here we explore the film's brilliance, its significance for modern audiences, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, and its broader implications for humanity's understanding of history. At the heart of Dating The Mahabharata lies Nilesh Oak's extraordinary research, which leverages over 300 astronomical references embedded in the Mahabharata text to pinpoint the war's date to 5561 BCE. Oak, a scholar with a background in engineering and a passion for ancient Indian texts, employs advanced astronomical software to map the positions of stars, planets, and celestial events described in the epic. The director meticulously presents this process, transforming complex scientific analysis into an accessible narrative that captivates both scholars and lay audiences. Oak's methodology is nothing short of revolutionary. By cross-referencing textual descriptions—such as the positions of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and, in particular, deciphering the special mention by Maharishi Ved Vyasa of Arundhati being ahead of Vashistha, with modern astronomical tools, he constructs a timeline that aligns with the Mahabharata's internal chronology. The film highlights how these celestial markers, preserved in the text for millennia, serve as a historical GPS, guiding researchers to a precise date. This is not mere speculation but a scientific endeavour that challenges conventional historiography, which often dismisses ancient Indian texts as mythological. As Oak asserts in the film, 'All evidence points to 5561 BCE," dismissing competing dates between 4000 BCE and 400 CE as lacking textual support. The documentary's strength lies in its ability to present this evidence with clarity and conviction. Through stunning visualisations of ancient skies, 3D animated recreations of celestial events, and Oak's lucid explanations, viewers are transported to the era of the Mahabharata. The film underscores that this dating is not an isolated claim but a collaborative effort, with living researchers uniting to validate 5561 BCE as the war's year. This collective scholarly pursuit adds weight to the findings, making Dating The Mahabharata a landmark in historical research. What sets this documentary apart is its celebration of Sanatan Dharma's intrinsic scientific temper. Unlike Abrahamic texts, which often rely on faith-based narratives or singular sources, Hindu scriptures like the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Puranas offer a tapestry of interconnected texts rich with empirical data. The film argues persuasively that the Mahabharata's astronomical references—detailing planetary conjunctions, eclipses, and comets—are not poetic flourishes but deliberate historical records. This precision, revealed only through modern scientific tools, positions Hindu Dharma as a civilisation far ahead of its time. The documentary poses a provocative question: 'Do any Abrahamic texts provide such precise astronomical markers for great historical events?" The implied answer is a resounding no. While texts like the Bible or Quran offer moral and spiritual guidance, they lack the granular historical and scientific detail found in the Mahabharata. The film illustrates how multiple Hindu texts converge on a single date, reinforcing the Mahabharata's historicity. This convergence, coupled with archaeological hints like submerged cities near Dwarka, elevates Sanatan Dharma as a repository of knowledge that transcends human intellectual comprehension. For viewers, this revelation is both humbling and empowering. The film underscores that Hindu civilisation was not merely spiritual but deeply scientific, with its sages encoding cosmic observations in texts that modern technology is only now decoding. This synergy of ancient wisdom and innovative science makes the film Dating The Mahabharata a testament to the enduring relevance of Sanatan Dharma. Prachyam's production quality elevates Dating The Mahabharata to a cinematic masterpiece. The documentary blends scholarly rigour with visual artistry, using high-definition animations, evocative music, and crisp narration to create an immersive experience. The Prachyam OTT platform, dedicated to Indic content, is the perfect home for this film, offering seamless streaming and a user-friendly interface that ensures accessibility for global audiences. Launched in June 2025, the documentary has garnered widespread acclaim on X, with users hailing it as 'one of the most brilliant documentaries ever". The film's pacing is impeccable, balancing technical discussions with emotional resonance. It opens with a sweeping overview of the Mahabharata's cultural significance, setting the stage for Oak's research. As the narrative unfolds, viewers are drawn into a detective story, where each astronomical clue builds toward the climactic revelation of 5561 BCE. This approach ensures that the film is both authoritative and engaging, appealing to audiences of all ages. Prachyam OTT enhances the viewing experience by offering supplementary content, an Extended Version in 4K with Dolby Digital Sound, as well as behind-the-scenes features and discussion forums, fostering a community of learners. The platform's commitment to preserving and promoting Bharatiya Itihas makes it an ideal medium for Dating The Mahabharata, ensuring that this gem reaches those eager to explore their heritage. One of the documentary's most compelling achievements is its appeal to younger audiences, particularly Gen Z and Millennials. In an age where cultural narratives are often shaped by globalised media, Dating The Mahabharata serves as a clarion call for young Hindus to reconnect with their roots. The film's message is clear: they are inheritors of the greatest civilisation, one that harmonises spirituality, science, and history in ways unmatched by any other tradition. For young viewers, the documentary is both an intellectual awakening and a source of pride. It challenges the colonial lens that often relegates Indian history to myth, presenting instead a narrative of a sophisticated civilisation that documented its past with astronomical precision. The film's emphasis on modern technology—software that maps ancient skies—resonates with tech-savvy youth, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity. By showcasing how Sanatan Dharma's truths are validated by science, it inspires confidence in Hindu identity. Moreover, Dating The Mahabharata is a call to action. It urges young Hindus to preserve and enrich their Dharma, not out of dogma but for the 'highest good of humanity". Legends like Nilesh Oak, whose dedication to truth shines through the film, serve as role models for a generation seeking purpose. Captain Praveen Chaturvedi's strong narration and voice have won many accolades. Ultimately, Dating The Mahabharata is more than a documentary; it is a movement. It rekindles pride in Hindu civilisation while challenging global historical narratives. By proving that the Mahabharata War—arguably the largest war ever fought—occurred in 5561 BCE, the film establishes India as a cradle of human history. It also underscores the resilience of Sanatan Dharma, whose truths have endured millennia and continue to inspire. top videos View all For every Hindu, especially the youth, this film is a must-watch. It offers a profound reason to live, cherish, and elevate Dharma, not as a relic of the past but as a living tradition that holds answers for the future. On Prachyam OTT, Dating The Mahabharata is a gem that sparkles with truth, inviting viewers to embark on a celestial quest for their heritage. As the stars of 5561 BCE still shine above, so does the wisdom of Sanatan Dharma, guiding humanity towards a deeper understanding of itself.

Reign Of ‘Hurt Sentiments' Will Destroy Democracy
Last Updated: Only grounded, objective criteria - threat to public order, incitement to violence, defamation, obscenity - should govern permissible restrictions. The Supreme Court has rightly slammed the Karnataka government and the state film chamber for siding with the enemies of free speech. The apex court was aghast that no action was taken against those who threatened violence over the release of actor-politician Kamal Haasan's movie, Thug Life. The state government told the court that it had not imposed any restrictions on the film and also pledged to provide full security if the producers chose to release it. It was heartening to see in this case that the SC not just gave relief to the Thug Life makers but also wanted action against those who had issued threats. The apex court Bench, headed by Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, was hearing petitions on June 19 filed by the Thug Life producer and a third party seeking guidelines on hate speech and threats of violence. Thug Life was scheduled for release in Karnataka on June 5, but got embroiled in controversy following Haasan's comment that the Kannada language was 'born out of Tamil." The comment was widely resented by pro-Kannada groups, which demanded an apology from Haasan. Taking a brave stance, he refused to apologise, despite the threat of imminent commercial losses because of the non-release of the movie in the state. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) also took a tough stand, saying that Thug Life would not be released without an apology from Haasan. When Haasan approached the Karnataka High Court, it chided him for his remarks and asked him to apologise. When the matter reached the Supreme Court, it not only criticised the Karnataka government but also reprimanded the state High Court for having urged Haasan to apologise. 'There is something wrong with the system when one person makes a statement and everyone gets involved. Why should the High Court say 'express an apology'? That is not its role," the SC said. On June 17, the Supreme Court pointed out that the rule of law requires a person to be able to release a film that has been certified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The court warned the state that it could not allow 'mobs and vigilante groups to take over," asserting that public sentiment should not override legal rights. It was only after the SC snub that the Karnataka government pledged to maintain law and order and ensure the peaceful release of Thug Life. The government clarified that it had not imposed any restrictions on the film's release and would provide necessary protection and security. This was not the first case in which the adversaries of free speech exploited the notion of 'hurt sentiments" to justify censorship. Public intellectuals assist them by raising the wrong questions, by debating whether protests over a film, book, or song are justified, and by asking whether someone's feelings were really hurt. They should be asking instead: can hurt sentiments be a basis for banning anything? Under Article 19 of the Indian Constitution, freedom of expression may be regulated only by 'reasonable restrictions" for state security, friendly relations, public order, decency, morality, contempt of court, defamation, or incitement to offend. But nowhere does the Constitution permit restrictions based solely on hurt sentiments or feelings. The distinction is vital: while reasons can be scrutinized and debated objectively, sentiments are personal and cannot be uniformly measured or validated. Dictionaries define 'sentiment" as emotional attitudes or opinions influenced by feeling, and 'feeling" as unreasoned emotional reactions. By their nature, these are subjective—what deeply offends one group may leave another unmoved. Take, for example, the case of M.F. Husain: some Hindus found his work as hurtful, while others didn't. It must be mentioned here that the anti-blasphemy law, Section 299 of BNS, is used to gag free speech. Section 299 (which was earlier Section 295A of the IPC) says: 'Whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of any class of citizens of India, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs or by visible representations or through electronic means or otherwise, insults or attempts to insult the religion or the religious beliefs of that class, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both." Section 299 is logically untenable as it criminalises speech based on feelings, which—as we mentioned earlier—are subjective. Therefore, it is antithetical to India's constitutional spirit as it imposes vague restrictions on freedom of expression. The extant court cases are symptomatic of the systemic toxicity that sentimentalism has generated over the decades. Sentimentalism, along with its sibling sanctimoniousness, has supplanted reason in public discourse and political debate. Ranting, canting demagogues and intellectuals set the agenda, resulting in the silencing of dissent, throttling of creativity, and often atrocities against those who speak out—all in the name of soothing 'hurt sentiments.' This trend must be reversed. As Justice Bhuyan said, 'There is no end to hurt sentiments in India. If a stand-up comedian says something, sentiments are hurt, and there is vandalism… Where are we heading?" The reign of hurt sentiments must be dismantled from law and public life. Only grounded, objective criteria—threat to public order, incitement to violence, defamation, obscenity—should govern permissible restrictions. Otherwise, democracy will degenerate into mobocracy.
