In a significant shift in India’s diverse and thriving film industry, Saiyaara, a film released earlier this year, has become the most profitable Indian film of 2025, boasting an impressive profit of 517.7%. This unexpected success story is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first time a film from a lesser-known regional language has claimed such a prestigious position.
However, the top 5 list now encompasses a diverse array of films from various Indian Cinema regions, including Gujarati and Odia films, reflecting the industry’s growing inclusivity and potential for cross-regional success.
Interestingly, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s film has secured the position as the most profitable Hindi film of 2025. The second spot on this list is held by the newly released Kannada film, Su From So, which has generated a profit of 511%, making it the most profitable Kannada film of the year to date.
The Tamil film industry, known for its prolific production and box office success, has seen a close competition between M Sasikumar’s film and “Maaman,” with “Maaman” eventually taking the lead to claim the title of the most profitable Tamil film of 2025.
As we move forward in August 2025, it will be interesting to see how these trends continue to evolve, and whether more regional films will follow in the footsteps of Saiyaara and stake their claim in the lucrative Indian box office market.
