Get ready for a thrilling ride as we dive into the world of Indian cinema and its incredible impact on the global box office. Dhurandhar, a film that has taken the industry by storm, is on a mission to dethrone the reigning champion, Coolie, and claim the overseas crown for 2025. But here's where it gets interesting... and a little controversial!
Bollywood's Dominance and the Top Grossers of 2025
When it comes to the top 10 overseas grossers from India in 2025, Bollywood has undoubtedly left its mark. With five movies in the prestigious list, including the likes of Chhaava, Housefull 5, War 2, Saiyaara, and the mighty Dhurandhar, Bollywood has proven its prowess on the global stage. However, it's not just Bollywood that's making waves; Kollywood and Sandalwood have also made their presence felt with Coolie and Kantara Chapter 1, respectively. And let's not forget Mollywood, which has contributed three fantastic films: L2: Empuraan, Thudarum, and Lokah Chapter 1 - Chandra.
The Reigning Champion: Coolie
At the top of the list, we find Coolie, a film backed by the legendary Rajinikanth and the hype surrounding his collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj. It started with a bang, capturing the attention of audiences worldwide. Despite a slight dip in performance, Coolie managed to gross an impressive 180.63 crores, securing its place as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 at the overseas box office. But here's the part most people miss: its reign might be coming to an end.
The Challenger: Dhurandhar and Its Terrific Run
Enter Dhurandhar, starring the charismatic Ranveer Singh. This magnum opus started with a decent to good opening but quickly picked up momentum, enjoying a terrific run that has left everyone in awe. After just 13 days, Dhurandhar has amassed a whopping 150 crore gross at the overseas box office. With such strong momentum, it's poised to become the top grosser, needing only 30.64 crores more to surpass Coolie. Can it dethrone the reigning champion? That's the question on everyone's lips.
