Highest Grossing Indian Movies At The Overseas Box Office 2025: Coolie and Saiyaara fight to claim the top spot; Empuraan at 3rd
Coolie And Saiyaara Fight To Emerge The Highest Grossing Indian Movie Of The Year, Internationally
Coolie, after putting up a near record-breaking Kollywood weekend in overseas, crashed on Monday. Even a USD 20 million global seems like a touch and go for Coolie, if it keeps falling the way it is. On the other hand, Saiyaara is still very steady at the overseas box office after one week. If Saiyaara continues holding, especially in US/Canada, it can end up as the year's highest grosser. This is the tightest it has ever got, and all credit goes to Coolie for it. Going by the presales, Coolie looked like doing even USD 30 million, while a USD 1 million would also be seen as a victory for a movie like Saiyaara. But as they say, box office is completely unpredictable.
Empuraan Stations Itself As The 3rd Highest Grossing Indian Movie Overseas, So Far
We have a Malayalam movie - Empuraan, in the top 3. It was on top since April but then, Saiyaara and Coolie crossed it. A Malayalam movie to be in top 3 can mean three things. The Mollywood film market is getting bigger, the other movie industries are not performing to their potential, or both.
Here is the list of top 5 highest grossing Indian movies at the overseas box office in 2025
Rank Movie Overseas Gross So Far (USD)
1 Saiyaara 18 million (33 days)
2 Coolie 17.50 million (6 days)
3 Empuraan 16.90 million
4 Thudarum 11 million
5 Chhaava 10.25 million
Coolie And Saiyaara In Theatres

" Yeh To Plastic Surgery Ki...": How Shruti Haasan Paid The Price For Being Honest About Cosmetic Procedures
Cosmetic procedures are nothing new in the entertainment industry. From fillers to surgeries, stars across the world choose tweaks and treatments for their own reasons. Yet, it is a subject that often comes with silence, denial, or carefully worded responses. Rarely do actors come forward to openly admit it, because the moment they do, the judgment begins. That is why Shruti Haasan stands out. The actor and musician has never been afraid of speaking her mind. She has been candid about her own choices, including cosmetic procedures, and she continues to face both appreciation and criticism for that honesty. What In a recent conversation with THR India, Shruti recalled how her openness was met with some pretty harsh remarks. "When I spoke up, I got comments like, ' Oh, yeh to plastic surgery ki dukaan hai ' (Oh, she is all plastic). But I know what and how much I have done, and how much more others have. That's the price you pay for honesty. It is okay. And I never promote it. This is my choice,' she said. For Shruti Haasan, the bigger issue is not the procedure itself but the double standards around beauty and authenticity. She pointed out that her choices are personal, not a message for others to follow. The actress summed it up in a way only she could: 'In love, in life, in work, fingers will always be pointed at you for blowing the whistle or speaking the truth or calling something out for what it is. But what a good price to pay.' On the work front, Shruti Haasan's latest film Coolie is running successfully in cinema halls. The film, headlined by Rajinikanth, also features Nagarjuna in a key role. Up next, the actress is expected to appear in Train alongside Vijay Sethupathi. Shruti also has Salaar Part 2 in the pipeline.
