Mumbai: Looks like Bollywood is finally finding its rhythm again. After a rather lukewarm spell, the Hindi film industry is breathing a sigh of relief in 2025 with audiences thronging back to theatres. From gripping period dramas to swoon-worthy romances and patriotic thrillers, a variety of genres are striking gold at the box office.
The biggest highlight so far? The staggering success of recently released, Saiyaara — the Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-starrer that has taken the industry by storm. The romantic drama has earned over Rs 150 crore in just five days, a phenomenal feat for a film led by newcomers.
But Saiyaara isn’t alone. Several Bollywood films have crossed the coveted Rs 100 crore mark this year. Let’s take a look at the titles that have joined the elite club in 2025 so far:
