2024 continues to be another blockbuster year for Indian cinema. While South Indian films like L 2: Empuraan and Sankranthiki Vasthunam emerged as superhits, Hindi films like Sitaare Zameen Par and Chhaava earned massive appreciation, too. However, if we talk about this year's most profitable Indian film- that crown went to a tiny Rs 7 crore budget film with no superstars. India's most profitable film in 2025
The Tamil comedy drama, Tourist Family, is the most profitable Indian film of 2025 so far. Helmed by Abishan Jeevinth, the film build a steady following during its theatrical run due to strong word-of-mouth and repeated viewings. Made in a budget of Rs 7 crore, the film earned Rs 90 crore worldwide, making a staggering profit of 1200%. Released on April 29, the film starred Mithun Jai Sankar, M Sasikumar, Ramesh Thilak and others in prominent roles.
Tourist family earned Rs 23 crore in its first week, but performed better in its second week, grossing Rs 29 crore more. After five weeks, the slice-of-life comedy drama ended its domestic run with Rs 6 crore, including Rs 90 crore worldwide. How Tourist Family surpasses other Bollywood hits?
The Abishan Jeevinth film has managed to surpass Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava that made a profit of 800% against the Rs 90 crore budget. Moreover, Tourist Family also beat Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par that made 300% profit so far, and Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 , which couldn't generate a profit despite grossing Rs 300 crore worldwide. About Tourist Family
Tourist Family follows the resilience and emotional struggles of a family who are forced to move to Tamil Nadu, leaving their home in Sri Lanka. During a time of COVID-19 crisis and socio-political struggles, the family move to India and adjust in a new nation, eventually becoming Indian citizens.

This is Salman Khan's biggest flop film despite earning Rs 200 crore, even Sohail Khan couldn't save it; Movie is…
Whether Salman Khan's films are hits or flops, it doesn't affect his stardom. Even his flop films easily earn over Rs 100 crore. The film we're talking about also earned more than Rs 200 crore at the box office. However, despite that, it couldn't be considered a success because its budget was also very high. Along with Salman, his younger brother Sohail Khan also played an important role in the film. The movie we're talking about is Tubelight . However, Salman and Sohail's movie failed to shine at the box office. Its earnings were barely close to its budget. What was the budget of Tubelight movie? Tubelight was released on 23rd June 2017 and was directed by Kabir Khan. The film had a budget of Rs 100 crore. While Salman Khan played the character named Laxman, Sohail Khan portrayed Bharat. The film also featured actors like Om Puri, Amit Singh, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub, Yashpal Sharma, and Brijendra Kala. How much did the film Tubelight earn? The 2-hour 50-minute movie managed to recover its budget in India but was not considered a box office hit. It collected Rs 119 crore domestically and earned Rs 212 crore worldwide. However, due to its relatively low collection compared to expectations, the film was considered average. On the work front, Salman Khan was last seen on the big screen in Sikander. This film was released worldwide on the occasion of Eid in March. But Sikandar did not succeed in winning the hearts of the audience. It did a business of more than Rs 100 crore, but still the audience had to face disappointment. Now, Khan will be seen in the film Battle of Galwan. This film will be based on the clash between the Indian and Chinese armies. Chitrangada Singh will also be seen in the film being directed by Apoorva Lakhia. The shooting of the movie will start in August.
