In a remarkable feat, a Telugu rom-com has defied expectations and emerged as the 3rd most profitable Indian film of 2025. Little Hearts, directed by Sai Marthand, has not only outperformed every Telugu film released in 2024 and 2025, but it has also dethroned the previous box office champions.
The film, which follows the story of Akhil and Khatyayani's humorous journey of personal growth and love, was mounted on a budget of almost 2 crore. However, it has managed to churn out a net collection of 26.47 crore, resulting in a staggering 1223.5% return on investment.
This achievement is even more impressive when compared to the previous year's most profitable Telugu film, Teja Sajja's HanuMan, which had a profit of 235%. This year, the top spot was held by Court: A State VS Nobody, with a profit of 306%, until Little Hearts arrived to claim the third position.
With an IMDb rating of 8 and streaming on ETV Win, Little Hearts has proven that a well-executed rom-com can captivate audiences and achieve remarkable financial success in the Telugu film industry.
