The Ormax Box Office Report is now established as the only credible report on the domestic box office in India, across all languages. We publish monthly box office reports on this website, and our year-end report is released in January of the following year, detailing the overall and language-wise box office trends of the previous year. The Ormax Box Office Report: 2025 is now out. Here are some key highlights:

With gross box office of ₹13,395 Cr, 2025 became the first-ever year to cross ₹13,000 Cr mark at the India box office, surpassing the record held by 2023 (₹12,226 Cr) in the process. As many as 37 films crossed the ₹100 Cr mark in 2025, compared to only 22 in 2024.

2025 was also the best-ever year for Hindi cinema, with gross box office of ₹5,504 Cr. Notably, 93% of Hindi box office collections came from only original Hindi language films, with dependence on dubbed South films dropping from 31% in 2024 to just 7% in 2025. Dhurandhar emerged as the highest-grossing film of 2025, with a gross box office of ₹950 Cr, setting a new record as the highest-grossing Hindi language film of all time, surpassing Stree 2 (₹698 Cr).

International films saw a resurgent year, witnessing a strong 49% growth, making 2025 the highest-grossing year for International cinema in India since the pandemic, and the second-best year of all time after 2019. The cumulative share of the four South languages dropped from 48% in 2024 to 44% in 2025, with only Kannada language showing significant growth among the four languages.

2025 registered 83.2 Cr (832 Million) footfalls, reflecting a 6% decline from 2024, underscoring the continued dependence of the box office on rising Average Ticket Prices (ATP) in recent years. Average Ticket Price (ATP) recorded its sharpest growth in the last four years, rising by 20%, from ₹134 to ₹161. ATP increase was driven by higher box office share of Hindi+International (52%, vis-à-vis 47% in 2024), which are the high ATP languages. The South markets witnessed a trend of higher ticket prices for several big-ticket films, further impacting the overall ATP.

Dhurandhar, Kantara A Legend: Chapter-1 and Chhaava were the only films to surpass the ₹500 Cr mark at the India box office. Saiyaara, Coolie and the multi-lingual animated film Mahavatar Narsimha were the other three films to gross above ₹300 Cr. Driven by Laalo: Krishna Sada Sahaayate (₹114 Cr), which became the highest-grossing Gujarati film of all-time, Gujarati cinema witnessed a staggering 189% growth, from ₹84 Cr in 2024 to ₹242 Cr in 2025.
