2025's most profitable Indian film, made for just Rs 7 crore, beat Chhaava, Sitaare Zameena Par, Housefull 5, Raid 2, name is...
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.

Zee Entertainment's spending on ZEE5 reaches Rs 6,000 crore
Zee Entertainment Enterprises has invested over Rs 6,000 crore in its over-the-top (OTT) platform, ZEE5 , since its launch in February 2018, according to a senior company executive. The company is now focused on reducing ZEE5's losses and guiding the platform toward breakeven, with a target to achieve this in FY26. In FY25, ZEE5 reduced its EBITDA loss to Rs 548 crore from Rs 1,105 crore a year earlier, while revenue grew 6% to Rs 976 crore.

About Rs 6,000 crore plus cash has been invested or gone towards ZEE5,' said Vikas Somani, Head – Strategy & Investor Relations at Zee, during the "Ask Me Anything" conference call on July 3. Reflecting on past strategy, Somani acknowledged that ZEE5 had once relied too heavily on content spending in hopes of rapid subscriber growth. 'Unlike in the past, where Zee followed the herd mentality and believed that heavy investment in content would automatically bring in subscribers — that's not the trick anymore. We've now devised our own strategy, and that's how we are approaching it. It's still early days since the launch of our multi-language packs, but the results have been promising, and that gives us confidence for the future,' he said. Deputy CEO and CFO Mukund Galgali said the company is not just looking to break even, but to establish a clear path to profitability. 'A lot of investments have gone into this business, and we don't want to talk about breakeven alone. It is actually about achieving profitability,' Galgali noted. The company has set FY26 as the target year for break-even in its digital segment and is taking steps to support that objective. 'We have recently launched seven language-specific content packs on ZEE5 in seven Indian languages. This will be our differentiator and USP. I believe we are in a sweet spot to cater to mass audiences in India — something no other OTT platform has provided so far,' Galgali said. The company also plans to triple the volume of content on ZEE5 compared to last year, expanding its multilingual catalog to increase reach and relevance. However, the company does not expect a significant increase in content spending, anticipating only moderate growth. 'We have enhanced our content library by expanding into multiple languages, and this will only increase. That clearly remains a focus area for us. Sports, of course, will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis,' Galgali said. Zee Entertainment Chief Content Officer Raghavendra Hunsur said that over the next two months, the company plans to launch around 30 shows on its linear TV platforms and more than 10 on ZEE5. 'So we have lots of mini-series happening — which doesn't mean small in size. It means deep in stories and authenticity, but the stories are told not with mindless extravaganza, but with a deeper understanding of culture and the needs of the market. And that's on ZEE5,' he added. Zee has also invested in a new short-form content platform called Bullet, which will be available in multiple Indian languages. 'This is a new concept. Even in the beta testing phase, we are among the top 15 entertainment apps. So, we look forward to building this as one of our key products,' Galgali said. Hunsur said the platform will be offering 161 micro-dramas through Bullet. 'It's 161 micro-dramas — 60 seconds, 60 episodes kind of content,' he explained. Somani said the company is developing Bullet as a short-form content platform and sees it as a future growth driver.
