Marathi Thriller 'Dashavatar' Becomes Highest-Grossing Hit of 2025

As of October 5th, 2025, the Marathi suspense thriller 'Dashavatar' has emerged as a massive box office success. Starring veteran actor Dilip Prabhavalkar in the lead role, the film was released on September 12th and has since stunned the industry with its spectacular performance.

Initially released with decent expectations, 'Dashavatar' quickly gained momentum through strong word-of-mouth. Despite facing multiple new releases, the film maintained its box office dominance, raking in hefty returns against its controlled budget. With a current collection of 22.48 crores, 'Dashavatar' has now become the highest-grossing Marathi film in the last 17 months.

This achievement is particularly significant as 2025 has already seen the release of several successful Marathi films like 'Gulkand', 'Ata Thambaycha Naay', and 'Jarann'. However, none of these managed to achieve the coveted 'super hit' status that 'Dashavatar' has now secured. The film's success has provided a much-needed boost to the Marathi film industry, which has been eagerly awaiting a big-ticket hit.

Very soon, 'Dashavatar' is expected to surpass the previous record holder, 'Nach Ga Ghuma', which had grossed 23.55 crores when it was released in May 2024. This would cement 'Dashavatar's' position as the highest-grossing Marathi film in the last two years, a remarkable feat for the regional cinema.
