Kantara 1’s Box Office Reign Continues; Bollywood Films Slow

The box office on Saturday, October 25, 2025, painted a picture of contrasting fortunes for films in India. “Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1” once again demonstrated its box office prowess, while recent Bollywood releases like “Thamma” and “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat” saw their performances plateau. “Thamma,” a highly anticipated release, experienced a significant dip in its collections on Saturday, indicating a loss of momentum after its initial days. While the on-screen pairing was a highlight, the film’s narrative direction is being pointed to as a key factor in its underperformance relative to its budget. “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat” is also struggling to make a substantial impact. The romantic thriller, launched on October 19, saw a gradual decline in earnings post its opening day. Saturday’s box office figures suggest the film is on the cusp of breaking even, despite receiving mixed reviews for its soundtrack and visual execution. The true star of the weekend, however, remains “Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1.” The Kannada film continues to draw significant crowds, a testament to its captivating storytelling and cultural relevance. Its strong Saturday performance contributed to its ongoing success, establishing it as one of the year’s biggest box office hits and a benchmark for regional cinema. The romantic drama “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari” has seen its theatrical run winding down, with negligible box office contributions on Saturday.
