Top Bollywood Openers Of 2025: Housefull 5 takes the 3rd spot with Rs 22 crore net; Chhaava and Sikandar claim first 2 positions
The Bollywood box office in 2025 has been a mixed bag, with some films putting up record-breaking numbers while the others are struggling. Housefull 5 has taken a good start at the Indian box office of Rs 22 crore and it is on course for a pretty looking Rs 85 crore weekend. Let's dive into the top five Bollywood openers of 2025. The year started with a bang, with Chhaava leading the charge. Starring Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, and Akshaye Khanna, this historical drama smashed records with a whopping Rs 29.50 crore net on its opening day. Released on February 14, the film's gripping tale of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj struck a chord, especially in Maharashtra. It went on to do all time blockbuster level business. Next up is Sikandar, Salman Khan's Eid 2025 action drama. Directed by AR Murugadoss, it raked in an estimated Rs 25 crore net on day one. The movie could not live up to its high-set expectations and crumpled after the holiday season, thus sealing a sorry fate. Housefull 5, led by Akshay Kumar, has now claimed the third spot. The comic caper has opened to Rs 22 crore net. Early advance bookings suggested it might struggle to cross Rs 20 crore, but strong spot bookings pushed it past that mark with ease. The weekend advance bookings are looking strong and it is now to be seen how the movie sustains over the weekdays. Raid 2, starring Ajay Devgn, has dropped to the fourth spot. Released on May 1, this crime thriller opened to Rs 19 crore net. The sequel to the 2018 hit benefited from the May Day holiday on the opening day. However, it held well over the course of the next few weeks to emerge a bonafied hit. Rounding out the top five is Sky Force, with an opening day number of Rs 13.75 crore net. Top 5 Bollywood Opening Days of 2025 (India Net Collections) 1. Chhaava - Rs 29.50 crore 2. Sikandar - Rs 25 crore 3. Housefull 5 - Rs 22 crore 4. Raid 2 - Rs 19 crore 5.

Aamir Khan reveals his 90-year-old mother Zeenat Khan will make her debut in 'Sitaare Zameen Par': ‘Meri himmat nahi hogi Ammi ko poochne ki'
Aamir Khan has thrilled fans with the recent revelation that his much-awaited film 'Sitaare Zameen Par' will also feature his sister Nikhat Khan and mother Zeenat Khan . While Nikhat is known for her roles in several films, this marks the acting debut of his mother, Zeenat Khan. Aamir opens up about mother Zeenat Khan's debut Speaking at a media interaction held in Mumbai, Aamir opened up about how his mother came to be a part of the RS Prasanna-directed film. He revealed that his mother had never accompanied him to any film shoot before. One day, as he was about to leave for the shoot, she asked him where he was heading and what the film was about. Sitaare Zameen Par | Title Track 'But on the morning of the song shoot, Ammi called and asked, 'Aap kahaan shooting kar rahe hain? Humko bhi aana hai shooting pe aaj.' So, I said, 'Chaliye, aaiye.' I sent her the car, and my sister brought her to the shoot. She came in a wheelchair. It was a joyful wedding song, and we were having fun shooting it while she watched us,' he shared. Zeenat Khan's reaction when Aamir requested to give a shot As Zeenat Khan sat observing the vibrant wedding sequence being filmed, director RS Prasanna had an idea. He asked Aamir whether his mother would consider appearing in the scene as one of the wedding guests. He suggested it would be lovely to have her be part of the song. Aamir admitted that he didn't feel confident asking his mother to act. 'I told him, 'Tu pagal ho gaya hai? Meri himmat nahi hogi Ammi ko poochne ki, ki film mein kaam karo, shot do. She is very ziddi. She is not going to listen. Don't waste your time.' He kept urging me to at least ask her,' he added. The 'PK' actor finally told his mother that Prasanna wanted her in a shot — and to his surprise, she agreed. 'I was shocked! So, she's there in one or two shots. It's the only film of mine that she has ever been a part of.' Visibly emotional, the actor said the experience was priceless for him, especially as his mother will turn 91 just a week before the film's release. Speaking about his sister, Aamir said that Nikhat plays a character in the film and has a couple of scenes. This marks their first on-screen collaboration, and Aamir hinted they may work together again in the future.
