As we enter 2026, here’s a look at how 2025 went for Bollywood films at the Indian box office. It was a decent year so far for Hindi cinema, as all the big-budget tentpole releases failed to impress the audience and turned out to be flops at the box office. However, some surprises kept driving the box office vehicle. Movies like Dhurandhar, Chhaava, Saiyaara, and Mahavatar Narasimha were the real dark horses of 2025, impressing audiences and proving to be huge successes at the box office. 

The Ranveer Singh starrer spy action drama, Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, netted around Rs. 700 crore in its 28 days of theatrical run in Hindi. The movie is still performing well in cinemas, and it is expected to end its theatrical run with around Rs. 750-775 crore in Hindi, which will be an all-time record. For the unversed, Dhurandhar has already emerged as Bollywood’s biggest grosser of all time by surpassing Stree 2. 

Besides Dhurandhar, it’s Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which grossed around Rs. 567 crore net in India across all languages, and Rs. 551 crore net in Hindi alone. Chhaava, directed by Laxman Utekar, turned out to be a landmark film of Vicky Kaushal’s career. 

Saiyaara secured the third spot, netting over Rs. 327 crore at the Indian box office in its entire run. The musical romantic drama, starring debutantes Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, became a nationwide sensation and a top priority for Gen-Z. Other than musical romances, the animation genre also found an audience this year. Mahavatar Narsimha earned over Rs. 223 crore across all languages in India, and Rs. 169 crore in India alone. Akshay Kumar’s Jolly LLB 3 also made it to the list. The actor witnessed a relatively better year. Check out the complete list below.

American singer-songwriter Zach Bryan is married! What better way to end a great year than to get married to the love of your life? The 31-year-old can agree. As reports of the star’s wedding began spreading around the internet, he took to his Instagram account, sharing a beautiful update with his new wife to his 5 million followers. 

Zach Bryan and Samantha Leonard get married in Spain

Previously, a Back Grid video from Zach Bryan and Samantha Leonard’s whirlwind wedding in Spain spread online, inciting intrigue from the fans of the star. Attendees and onlookers were surprised to see him carrying his newlywed wife to a car as the crowd cheered for them. The words ‘Just Married’ were seen on their getaway vehicle, hinting at their sudden nuptials. The couple has reportedly only been dating for just about half a year after being linked in July 2025 for the first time. 

Soon after, the couple starred in a beautiful photo from their big day in the singer’s social media update. He could be seen carrying his lady love bridal style as she smiled down at him with what seemed to be a glass of champagne in her hand. A follow-up video in the same post showed him performing in a suit. The caption read, “Tougher than the rest,” a nod to the Bruce Springsteen song that he was seen singing to in the clip. 

Just a day before, the singer had shared a photo in black and white photo starring his friends, seemingly his groomsmen from the rehearsal dinner, as they held each other’s waists for a fun snap. He added the words to the Black Eyed Peas track I Gotta Feeling in the caption, “Tonight’s the night, let’s live it up/I got my money, let’s spend it up (I feel)/Go out and smash it, like, ‘Oh my God!’/Jump off that sofa, let’s kick it off (I feel).”

This marriage comes a year after his split from Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia in October 2024. Their breakup sparked a public feud in which she accused him of offering her 12 million USD and a house for keeping her lips sealed about their relationship.
