Top 10 Bollywood Movies of 2025

Part of Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe, War 2 paired Hrithik Roshan with Telugu superstar Jr NTR and grossed around ₹361 crore worldwide. The high-octane action spectacle was one of the most anticipated releases of the year, building on the success of the original War. Its pan-India star casting helped it pull crowds in both Hindi and dubbed markets.

A rare animated triumph, Mahavatar Narsimha grossed over ₹294 crore globally and became one of the year's biggest surprises. Based on the Narasimha avatar of Lord Vishnu, it proved Indian mythological animation could pull massive theatrical audiences. Its success has sparked plans for an entire animated cinematic universe based on Hindu avatars.

Aamir Khan's spiritual successor to Taare Zameen Par, Sitaare Zameen Par was a clean hit driven by warm word-of-mouth rather than an explosive opening. The feel-good sports drama featured a cast including neurodivergent actors and carried a strong message of inclusion. It marked one of Aamir's most heartfelt outings in years.

Ajay Devgn returned as the fearless income-tax officer Amay Patnaik in Raid 2, the sequel to the 2018 hit Raid. Backed by a strong opening weekend of nearly ₹74 crore, it emerged as one of the cleanest hits of the year's first half. The gripping cat-and-mouse drama reaffirmed Devgn's reliability as a box office draw.

The fifth installment of the popular Housefull franchise brought back Akshay Kumar and a sprawling ensemble cast for more slapstick chaos, this time on a cruise ship. It opened strongly with around ₹82 crore in its first weekend and delivered steady returns. The comedy uniquely released with two different endings to keep audiences guessing the murderer.

The third chapter of the beloved courtroom-comedy franchise brought together Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi as rival lawyers for the first time. Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the satirical legal drama mixed laughs with sharp social commentary on the justice system. The pairing of the two Jolly leads was a big draw and made it a solid 2025 success.

Part of Maddock Films' popular horror-comedy universe (alongside Stree and Munjya), Thamma added a vampire-themed twist starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Released during the festive Diwali window, it leveraged the franchise's loyal following to become a notable late-year earner. It continued the studio's winning streak of blending scares with humour.
