India's film industry celebrated its highest-ever box office revenue in 2025, grossing $1.48 billion, a significant increase from the previous year.
Hindi cinema led the surge with an 18% rise, reaching $609.78 million. This growth was primarily fueled by original Hindi-language productions, notably the spy thriller 'Dhurandhar,' which became the highest-grossing Hindi film ever.
Hollywood also saw a remarkable comeback, with revenues jumping 49% to $155 million. The success was spearheaded by 'Avatar: Fire And Ash,' ranking eighth overall, alongside other notable performers like 'F1: The Movie' and 'Jurassic World Rebirth.'
The overall box office success was supported by rising ticket prices, as admissions saw a 6% decrease. Average ticket prices increased by 20% to $1.78, particularly in southern markets where price regulations were eased.
Looking ahead to 2026, a strong slate of releases is anticipated, including sequels like 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' and major Hindi films such as 'Ramayana Part 1' and 'King,' alongside South Indian offerings like 'Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-ups.'
