2025 is truly a year for surprises! Who could have predicted that two newcomers in Bollywood would dominate the industry with their debut film? Notwithstanding the latest ‘Saiyaara’ effect that has been dominating the internet, the film has managed to evoke what Indian cinema has been missing over the last few years—a genuine romantic drama amplified by excellent music. Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda's earnest performances, combined with Mohit Suri's masterful direction, result in a bona fide Bollywood blockbuster! And the numbers validate this madness that has returned to the box office, with the film having collected 100 crores worldwide within 3 days of its release, prompting upcoming films like ‘Son of Sardar 2’ and ‘Param Sundari’ to delay their releases so that Saiyaara doesn’t steal their thunder. Truly a wild year for Bollywood!
With Saiyaara quickly climbing up the charts with their collection, here are some other Hindi films in 2025 that have comfortably secured a position in the list of top-grossing Hindi films of 2025!
Top grossing Hindi films of 2025
Chhava
Net Collection: INR 615.39 crore
Chhaava, adapted from the best-selling book by Shivaji Sawant, is a glorified account of the Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji, who fought for eight years against the power of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the seventeenth century. He continued his father Chhatrapati Shivaji's spirit of defiance by keeping Aurangzeb busy in the Deccan in the latter part of his reign, using his unparalleled bravery and guerrilla tactics to inflict tremendous damage on his enormous army and pride. However, his brother-in-law betrayed him. Despite the harsh criticism from historians, Sambhaji has become a near-divine figure in Marathi culture. This is a must-see since both Akshaye Khanna (Aurangzeb) and Vicky Kaushal (Chhatrapati Sambhaji) provide outstanding performances. The historical drama starring Vicky Kaushal has achieved an impressive India Net Collection of Rs 615.39 crore.
Raid 2
Net Collection: INR 211.57 Crores
Raid 2, directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, has officially ended its run at the box office. In Raid 2, we see Amay Patnaik (Ajay Devgn), an IRS officer known for his unwavering honesty and lack of corruption, face up against Dadabhai (Riteish Deshmukh), a villain dressed as a saint. After its run ended, the criminal thriller became Ajay Devgn's fifth highest-grossing picture in India and the globe. After 60 days in cinemas, Raid 2 finally came to a close. Its lifetime net worth was 179.30 crore. The total revenue, after taxes, amounts to 211.57 crores. Next on Ajay Devgn's list of top domestic grossers is Golmaal Again (205.72 crores), followed by Tanhaji (279.50 crores), Singham Again (270.60 crores), and Drishyam 2 (241 crores).
Housefull 5
Net Collection: INR 180.60 Crore
Housefull 5, the newest comedy starring Akshay Kumar, premiered on June 6 to a resoundingly positive critical and audience reception. Join a huge ensemble on an extravagant cruise full of mayhem and hilarity in this fifth instalment of the smash blockbuster 'Housefull' series, directed by Tarun Mansukhani. After a promising opening weekend, the picture kept winning audiences over for the next two weeks. The figures, however, started to decline as the third Thursday approached. Nonetheless, there is cause for celebration, since the film has surpassed Rs 180 crore in India.
Sitaare Zameen Par
Net Collection: INR 164.75 Crore
The film's social message, powerful emotional core, and Aamir's distinctive narrative style helped it succeed, and it is considered a spiritual sequel to Taare Zameen Par. Its opening day earnings of Rs 10.7 crore were reasonable, and it surged to a first-week total of Rs 27.25 crore by Sunday. Officially ranking among the top 5 highest-grossing Hindi films of 2025, Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan's long-awaited comeback to the silver screen, has been a tremendous financial success. Overtaking other high-profile films like Sky Force and Sikandar, the poignant drama achieved a 10-day Hindi net collection of over Rs 121 crore, securing its berth on the fourth qualifying list. Presently, it has amassed a respectable INR 164.74 crore in revenue.

With a spectacular first week, Empuraan joined the 100 crore club (gross) at the box office. The 35-day run of the Prithviraj Sukumaran directorial earned 106.64 crore net in India. The gross sum comes to 125.83% after taxes. This Malayalam film, which stars Mohanlal, earned more than any other Malayalam film in 2025. Among all Mollywood films, it is the second-best earner.
Sankranthiki Vasthunam
A former police officer is called upon to rescue a famous person who has been abducted. Along with his ex-girlfriend and current wife, he is on this crazy quest. Featuring Venkatesh, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Meenakshi Chaudhary, Sankranthiki Vasthunam has completed its voyage at the global box office. The picture shone like a star in the face of intense competition and became one of Tollywood's most lucrative projects of late. The film concluded its theatrical run with three significant achievements and a total box office score of over 250 crores, greatly surpassing expectations.
Jurassic Park: Rebirth
The fifth-highest-grossing Jurassic Park film, Rebirth, has truly surpassed initial expectations! This weekend, it became the third highest-grossing Hollywood film of the year, surpassing the global total of Mission: Impossible 8. Since the previous Jurassic Park movie had a worldwide total of more than $1 billion, it will have to settle for becoming the fifth highest-grossing Jurassic Park film. However, with this success, Scarlett Johansson has now become the highest-grossing actor in Hollywood with previous blockbusters like the Avengers series and Black Widow film.
