Box Office Report Card 2025: From Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava' to Salman Khan's 'Sikandar' - Bollywood's First Quarter Saw Only One Blockbuster and Several Flops!
Despite the buzz around a few high-profile releases, the first quarter of 2025 has proven to be underwhelming for Bollywood overall.
Well, we슬롯사이트™re done with the first quarter of 2025, and it's been a decidedly mixed bag for Bollywood at the box office. The Hindi film industry saw one major blockbuster that shattered records - and then슬롯사이트¦ nothing. Most of the other releases ranged from average grossers to outright flops and theatrical disasters. Some films were accused of grossly manipulating their collections, while others flopped so hard they may have put entire legacies at risk. All in all, not the most promising start to 2025 for Bollywood, even with that one massive hit (which, ironically, was also accused of inciting riots in Nagpur).슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜F*ck You Vicky Kaushal슬롯사이트™: Netizens Blame Actor, 슬롯사이트˜Chhaava슬롯사이트™ Team for Nagpur Violence Amid Protests Over Aurangzeb슬롯사이트™s Tomb.
Of course, the big blockbuster of the year so far has been Laxman Utekar슬롯사이트™s historical drama Chhaava, which netted over INR 550 crore in India. No other release during this period came anywhere close to matching its box office performance - even though Salman Khan had a release in Sikandar. Granted, Sikandar arrived at the very end of the quarter, but it quickly lost momentum due to poor critical reception and lukewarm audience response. As it stands, the film has little to no chance of recovering its INR 200 crore budget through its theatrical run.
Sky Force reportedly crossed INR 100 crore at the Indian box office, but several trade experts - including Komal Nahta슬롯사이트” - have accused its team of grossly inflating the numbers.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜Sky Force슬롯사이트™ Box Office: Trade Analyst Komal Nahta Accuses Akshay Kumar-Veer Pahariya슬롯사이트™s Movie of Massive 슬롯사이트˜Block Booking슬롯사이트™ and Inflating Collections (Watch Video).
