Hindi film industry lights up the box office from Summer 2025; 8 films collect over Rs 1100 crore
The 3-month aggregate collection starting from Jaat, leading to Kesari 2, Raid 2, Housefull 5, Sitaare Zameen Par, Maa, Metro In Dino, and Saiyaara are looking to collect in the range of Rs 1150 crore, and leading the show from the front will be Saiyaara, as it is headed to collect in the range of Rs 375 crore to Rs 425 crore in India.
Films like Housefull 5, Sitaare Zameen Par, and Raid 2 collected in the vicinity of Rs 165 crore each, whereas Jaat and Kesari 2 scored in the range of Rs 90 crore. Metro In Dino on the other hand is looking to end its run at Rs 52 crore, whereas Maa clocked Rs 35 crore in India. It's more like a success every week starting April 10, as even Bhool Chuk Maaf did some numbers, contributing revenue to the cinema owners.
Apart from the aforementioned films, four Hollywood movies also struck gold at the Indian box office in the same period with Final Destination: Bloodlines, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, F1, and Jurassic World. The four films, along with Superman aggregated about Rs 350 crore nett in India, making it a golden period for the Indian Exhibitors. The audiences are finally recultivating the habit of visiting cinema halls on a week-on-week basis, and the film fraternity too has been consistent with fairly reasonable content for the audience.
While the mid-range successes have come in plenty, the Mohit Suri-directed Saiyaara has filled the void of a blockbuster, which was missing in the report-card of the year post Chaavva in February. While big star films doing big numbers is always expected, nothing energises the industry better than a mid-sized film emerging a blockbuster of epic proportions.

This film, which was released in 1965, would have made Dharmendra superstar before Sholay, made on budget of Rs 70 Lakh, earned Rs 6 crore, movie name is…
It's true that Hindi cinema currently showcases only a handful of quality films, but there was an era when it produced numerous hits and cult classics. Today, we want to take you back to a Bollywood film that pioneered the trend of multi-starrer productions in Hindi cinema. Moreover, the film's success can be attributed to its compelling narrative, outstanding performances, and enchanting music. It received immense praise from both audiences and critics alike and if a rising star had signed that film, then his career would've been on the other dimension. Which film is this? The film we are talking about is 'Waqt', released in 1965, which was a huge success at the box office and was declared an all-time blockbuster. Directed by legendary director Late Yash Chopra, the film had a budget of Rs 70 lakh, but it earned Rs 6 crore at the box office, which was a huge record at that time. The film was one of the highest-grossing films of its time. What was the storyline? Waqt was a family drama starring big stars like Late Raaj Kumar, Late Sunil Dutt, Late Shashi Kapoor, Sadhana and Sharmila Tagore. The story revolves around a business family that is torn apart by an earthquake. The story beautifully portrays emotions, relationships and the importance of time. The songs of the film, such as 'Aye meri zohra jabeen' and 'Aage bhi jaane na tu', are still etched in people's hearts. The duo of music director Ravi and lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi created magic in it. Why Dharmendra rejected Waqt? Before Raaj Kumar, Dharmendra was the first choice of the makers for the film Waqt, but Dharmendra refused to play the role of the elder brother in the film. Due to this the makers proceeded further while casting Raaj Kumar with other ensemble actors while making it a first multi-starrer film in the history of Indian Cinema. On the other hand, Dharmendra lost the opportunity and after 10 years with Sholay he became an overnight superstar. More about Waqt Waqt also received many awards, including Best Supporting Actor and Best Story at the Filmfare Awards. This film won 6 awards at Filmfare. This film is still a great example of classic cinema and is loved by audiences of every generation. This film brought acclaim to Raaj Kumar, who turned into a star with this film after many years of doing second leads. Similarly, Yash Chopra proved his capabilities as a director with the huge box office success of Waqt and went on to become one of the greatest Indian filmmakers of all time.

Today we are going to tell you about a Bollywood film that stayed on big screens for three months, and became huge blockbuster of that year, who is now referred as a classic of all time. Which film is this? We are talking about the film 'Qurbani', which was released in 1980, now referred to as a great example of the golden era of Bollywood. In this film, the pair of Late Feroz Khan, Late Vinod Khanna and the evergreen beauty, Zeenat Aman won the hearts of the audience. This film remained full in the theatres of Bombay (now known as Mumbai) for three months and rocked the box office. What is the storyline? The story of this romantic thriller is filled with action, romance and drama. The plot of this film revolves around two friends, Rajesh (Vinod Khanna) and Amar (Feroz Khan), and a dancer, Sheila (Zeenat Aman).

Zeenat Aman's charming style, Vinod Khanna's pathbreaking acting and Feroz Khan's style were very much liked by the audience. When Feroz Khan sacrificed his Mercedes One of the standout moments in the film was Firoz Khan's fervor. In a particular scene, Firoz chose to destroy his brand-new Mercedes car. This moment was filmed in a parking lot alongside Amrish Puri. Back in 1979, spotting a luxury car like a Mercedes in Mumbai was quite uncommon. Firoz made the bold decision to sacrifice his new vehicle to create a memorable scene. His gamble paid off, and this moment became the most discussed aspect of the film. Firoz Khan not only directed this movie but also took on the role of producer. More about Qurbani Apart from the lead stars, the film also featured Amjad Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Amrish Puri, Aruna Irani, Kader Khan, Tun Tun, Jagdeep, Dinesh Hingoo, Viju Khote, Mac Mohan and Sanjay Khan in pivotal roles.
