No Rs 1,000 crore monster, still Rs 5,723 crore earned: 17 movies cross Rs 100 crore mark at 2025 Indian box office
The Indian box office recorded strong growth in the first half of 2025, collecting Rs 5,723 crore between January and June. While the year has not seen a single film cross the Rs 1,000 crore mark, a large number of mid- to high-range performers have powered the overall earnings. According to Ormax Media's mid-year report, cited by PTI, 17 films crossed the Rs 100 crore milestone, indicating a broad-based recovery and consistent audience turnout across languages and genres. 'Chhaava' Leads the Pack Vicky Kaushal's historical action film Chhaava was the biggest hit of the year so far, earning Rs 693 crore at the domestic box office. It remains the only title to have crossed the Rs 250 crore mark during this period. Close behind was Telugu-language film Sankranthiki Vasthunam, starring Daggubati Venkatesh, which also posted strong nationwide earnings and ranked second overall.

India box office earns Rs 5,723 cr in 2025 first-half; 'Chhaava' roars
The Indian box office minted Rs 5,723 crore in the first six months of 2025, marking a 14 per cent year-on-year growth, a new industry report has said. The 'India Box Office Report: Jan-Jun 2025', released by Ormax Media on Saturday, highlighted that 17 films crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the domestic box office between January and June, an increase from just 10 titles that achieved the same feat during the first half of 2024. "The cumulative box office for Jan-Jun releases stands at Rs 5,723 crore, which is 14 per cent higher than the same period in 2024 and just Rs 12 crore short of the 2022 record for Jan-Jun box office," the report stated. So far in 2025, the box office has seen fewer big-ticket blockbusters, with only one film crossing the Rs 250 crore mark. Instead, the momentum has been driven by a steady stream of mid- to high-performing titles that grossed over Rs 100 crore. The highest-earning film of 2025 so far has been "Chhaava", a historical action-drama headlined by actor Vicky Kaushal, which grossed a staggering Rs 693 crore. It is followed by "Sankranthiki Vasthunam", a Telugu-language film starring Daggubati Venkatesh. The movie also posted strong nationwide numbers. The month of June alone contributed over Rs 900 crore to the half-year tally, with Hindi films "Sitaare Zameen Par" and "Housefull 5" emerging as the top grossers of the month, each grossing close to Rs 200 crore, according to the report. Tamil-Telugu bilingual "Kuberaa" and "F1", Hollywood's Formula One title with Brad Pitt, were also among the top contributors for the month. The report noted that if the current trajectory continues, 2025 could close at a record Rs 13,500 crore, making it the highest-grossing year ever for the Indian theatrical market. It, however, hinges on the box office performance of several major titles scheduled for release in the second half of the year. These include Rishab Shetty's "Kantara: Chapter 1"; "War 2", starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR; Rajinikanth's "Coolie", "Akhanda 2", featuring Nandamuri Balakrishna, Ayushmann Khurrana's "Thama", and "OG", starring Pawan Kalyan. The report also highlighted that Hindi cinema continued to dominate with a 40 per cent share of the total collections, followed by Telugu (20 per cent) and Tamil (15 per cent). Hollywood has reclaimed a double-digit share (over 10 per cent) for the first time since 2022, signalling a resurgence in international content consumption in Indian cinemas.

‘Chhaava' Leads India Box Office to 14% Jump in First Half of 2025
India's theatrical market is flexing serious muscle in 2025, with the first six months delivering a robust 14% uptick that positions the market for a potential record-breaking year ahead. The cumulative box office for January through June releases clocked in at INR5,723 crore ($664.2 million), marking a significant jump from the same period in 2024 and landing just INR12 crore ($1.4 million) shy of the all-time Jan-June record set in 2022, according to Ormax Media's latest India Box Office Report. More from Variety 'Superman' Takes Top Spot at Sluggish U.K., Ireland Box Office 'Jurassic World Rebirth' Holds Off 'Superman' at Korea Box Office 'Jurassic World Rebirth' Leads China Box Office Again as 'Superman' Debuts at No. 4 June capped off the strong half-year showing with gross collections crossing $104.5 million, including projected future earnings from releases still playing in theaters. Hindi-language pics 'Sitaare Zameen Par' ($23.3 million) and 'Housefull 5' ($23.2 million) emerged as the month's top earners. Tamil/Telugu-language title 'Kuberaa' ($12.3 million) and Hollywood entry 'F1: The Movie' rounded out June's major contributors. The momentum suggests 2025 could close at $1.57 billion — which would make it the best year ever at Indian cinemas. That projection is based on the Jan-June period typically accounting for 42% of annual box office over the past two years. All these numbers are local collections only and do not include international grosses for Indian films. Whether that prediction materializes will hinge on the performance of heavyweight releases slated for the back half of the year, including 'Kantara: Chapter 1,' 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' 'War 2,' 'Coolie,' 'Akhanda 2,' 'Thama,' and 'OG.' The first half of 2025 saw 17 films cross the INR100 crore ($11.6 million) gross mark each, nearly doubling the 10 titles that hit that threshold in the same period last year. However, with only one film surpassing INR250 crores ($29 million), this year has relied less on mega-blockbusters and more on a steady stream of solid performers in the INR100 crore-plus range. 'Chhaava' emerged as the first half's highest-grossing title at $80.4 million, followed by Telugu-language film 'Sankranthiki Vasthunam' at $25.8 million. Other notable performers included 'Raid 2' ($23.1 million), 'Good Bad Ugly' ($21.2 million), 'Game Changer' ($17.8 million), 'Thudarum' ($16.7 million), 'Sky Force' ($15.1 million), 'L2E Empuraan' ($14.6 million), and 'Dragon' ($14.2 million). The linguistic breakdown remained consistent with 2024's cumulative figures. Hindi maintained its dominance with a 39% market share, while Telugu and Tamil claimed 19% and 17% respectively. Malayalam captured 10% of the market, matching Hollywood's return to double-digit territory for the first time in three years.
