Bollywood Movies 2025: 10 Potential Films That Could Become Successful

Bollywood Movies 2025:

The list of Bollywood Movies 2025 indicates that not many big films are on the horizon, but one or two are significant enough to reach blockbuster status. Salman Khan's Sikandar is set to release on Eid 2025 and has the potential to become a blockbuster if received well. Salman hasn't had a blockbuster on Eid since 2016, so he will be trying to break that dry spell with AR Murugadoss. 

Year Ender 2024: Gadar 2 in 2023 & Stree 2 in 2024, How Mid-Budget Films Beat Big-Budget Movies and Changed Box Office Dynamics

The biggest Bollywood movie of 2025 is likely to be Hrithik Roshan's War 2. With JR. NTR joining as the antagonist, it becomes one of the biggest Pan-India movies of 2025 as well. One can bet easily for this one to become the biggest blockbuster of 2025. Aside from these two, there are at least five more films that could achieve Hit/Super Hit status at the box office, while five additional films may attempt to break into the Semi-Hit/Average category (Success). Maddock is aiming for at least two Hits with Chhava and Thama, while YRF's second movie after War 2, Alpha, could be a success due to the boost from a spy universe.
