Amit Shah said that the BJP will oust the Mamata Banerjee government by winning the upcoming polls with a two-thirds majority in the upcoming assembly elections.
Continuing its dreamlike box office run, Dhurandhar has now added more records to its name. The Ranveer Singh starrer has emerged as the biggest Bollywood film in the United States, Canada and Australia. In the latter two, it is also the biggest Indian film. While in the United States, it will be lower than Baahubali 2, Kalki 2898 AD and RRR, it dwarfs them in terms of admissions, as those films had enhanced ticket prices of USD 25-40, while Dhurandhar, like other Bollywood films, was released with standard pricing, which comes around USD 11-14.
These three, along with the UAE-GCC and the United Kingdom, are the five main overseas markets for Bollywood films. In three of them, Dhurandhar is at the top. It missed release in the UAE-GCC, while in the United Kingdom, it will miss the top spot but could take the runner-up.
Canada and Australia were the best markets for the film right from the beginning, probably due to the hit Punjabi music and the fact that Indo-Pak films generally do well in Punjab. Canada and Australia are two big Punjabi diaspora hubs, which is why Animal was the one which previously held the record in these two markets, and now Dhurandhar has overtaken Animal in all three of them, including the Punjab state in India.
The United States started slow but picked up a big way rather quickly and has since then impressed with its grosses every single day. Even now, in its fifth weekend, the film will collect USD 800K there, which is insanity as no film has ever grossed USD 400K, even. It will cross the USD 12 million mark today and is likely going to reach around USD 13 million in full run.

Overall, Dhurandhar has grossed USD 27.25 million (Rs. 245 crore) approx in the overseas markets as of yesterday. It remains on course to reach USD 30 million in full run. That’s without a release in the Middle East, which could have added another USD 10 million or so.

2025 has not been a favourable year for Tamil cinema. The regional film industry witnessed several big disappointments last year in the name of Vidaamuyarchi, Coolie, Thug Life, Retro, Madharaasi and others. Moreover, the industry also missed a Thalapathy Vijay film, which would have contributed significantly to the yearly box office report. Here’s a look at the top 10 highest-grossing movies of 2025 at the Tamil Nadu box office.
Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly topped the charts, beating Rajinikanth’s Coolie and emerged as the biggest grosser in the state. The Adhik Ravichandran directorial grossed Rs. 145.50 crore in Tamil Nadu, becoming a big success. Coolie slipped to the second spot, which raked in over Rs. 144.25 crore. Mounted on a huge budget and backed by a solid star cast, the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial ended its run on a disappointing note.
Besides Good Bad Ugly, Ajith Kumar also had another release in 2025, Vidaamuyarchi, which secured the third spot with Rs. 82.25 crore. It was a misfire at the box office, as the movie couldn’t impress the audience. Dragon was another major Tamil Hit last year. The Pradeep Ranganathan film stormed over Rs. 78.50 crore and became the 4th biggest grosser of the year.
At the fifth spot, it’s Kannada-origin film, Kantara: Chapter 1, which fetched around Rs. 69.50 crore in Tamil Nadu. Interestingly, it is the only non-Tamil movie in the top 10 highest-grossing movies of 2025 at the Kollywood box office. Thug Life, the reunion between Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam, couldn’t even make it to the list. While the big films disappointed, a couple of smaller films did exceedingly well- Dragon, Tourist Family, Thalaivan Thalaivii, Bison and others. Check out the full list.
| Rank | Title | Gross |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Good Bad Ugly | Rs. 145.50 cr. |
| 2 | Coolie | Rs. 144.25 cr. |
| 3 | VidaaMuyarchi | Rs. 82.25 cr. |
| 4 | Dragon | Rs. 78.50 cr. |
| 5 | Kantara: Chapter 1 | Rs. 69.50 cr. |
