In 2025, Indian cinema saw five films cross the ₹500 crore mark, but none were from Tollywood. Bollywood led with three hits: ‘Chhaava,’ ‘Saiyaara,’ and ‘Dhurandhar.’ Kollywood’s ‘Coolie’ and Sandalwood’s ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ also joined the club, with ‘Kantara’ becoming the year’s biggest blockbuster.
