Best year for Hindi cinema!
2025 was a historic year for Hindi cinema, with the highest-ever collection at the Indian box office for a single year. The month of January didn’t witness a single successful film (excluding re-releases), but from February onwards, the tables started turning, with Chhaava grossing over 700 crores. Films like Sikandar and Housefull 5 failed but contributed significantly. The momentum remained intact with Saiyaara, Mahavatar Narsimha, Thamma, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, and other movies doing well. Dhurandhar sealed the year with a mind-blowing 1000 crore+ gross.
Overall, Hindi cinema grossed a whopping 5,504 crores at the Indian box office in 2025, overtaking 2023’s 5,085 crores to register the industry’s highest collection in a year, as per Ormax. Compared to 2024’s 3,215 crores, it jumped by an impressive 71.19%.
