2025 Diwali Box Office: Less Than Half of 2024

The 2025 Diwali box office witnessed a clash between Dude, K-Ramp, Telusu Kada, and some other films, but it is less than half of the 2024 Diwali. 

2024 Diwali gave a massive success to Telugu States, as Amaran, Lucky Baskhar, and KA all did very well in theaters.

Amaran collected around 50 Cr, Lucky Baskhar around 40 Cr, and KA collected around 30 Cr in Telugu states. The total Telugu states gross of the three Diwali releases is around 120 Cr.

This Diwali, 4 films have been released in Telugu states. Mithra Mandali did not do many numbers. Dude initially looked strong, but it is seeing a considerable drop. 

Kiran Abbavaram’s K-Ramp is doing well enough to break even, but those are not huge collections, and Telusu Kada is heading towards a failure. 

Overall, even if we combine all 4 movies’ numbers in Telugu states, the 2025 Diwali box office may not even do half of 2024 Diwali, which is definitely disappointing.

Sujeeth Breaks Silence on OG Controversy

Amid growing speculation online and within film industry circles about reported differences between OG director Sujeeth and producer DVV Danayya, Sujeeth has made an official statement to clear the air. 

He emphasized that despite the rumors, he remains deeply thankful to Danayya garu for his unwavering support throughout the making of OG.

In a heartfelt letter dated 21 October 2025, Sujeeth shared his thoughts on the journey of creating OG, a film that has captured massive attention thanks to its star cast and emotional depth.

Director Sujeeth reflects on the challenges of making OG, emphasizing that while many people talk about filmmaking, few truly grasp the effort it demands from start to finish. He credits the film’s strength to the unwavering belief and support shown by his producer, Danayya garu, and the entire team, acknowledging that every contribution came from a place of dedication and commitment.

He also expresses heartfelt appreciation for the passionate love fans have shown for Pawan Kalyan garu and the film itself, saying that their energy makes the journey worthwhile. Sujeeth closes his message with sincere gratitude, thanking Danayya garu for standing by him throughout the process.

OG, starring Pawan Kalyan, has been one of the most anticipated films of the year and it became the highest grosser of the actor at the box office.

Kantara Chapter 1 Hits 100 Cr in Telugu States

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 has hit 100 Cr gross in the Telugu states today. This is the second dubbed film to achieve this milestone in the Telugu states after KGF 2. Both films are from the Kannada film industry.

Kantara Chapter 1’s business in the Telugu states was done on an advance basis. For the advances, the film would have needed to collect around 125 Cr gross.

Achieving such a big figure was unlikely, but there are no issues for buyers as all terms were fully recoverable. Crossing 100 Cr+ gross is definitely a massive achievement.

No one expected Kantara Chapter 1 to reach the 100 Cr milestone in Telugu states, as it carried a low buzz at the time of release. If the film had been released with a higher buzz, it could have easily collected around 125 Cr.

KGF 2 still holds the No. 1 position among dubbed film grossers in the Telugu states, with a total gross of 150 Cr.

Overall, worldwide, Kantara Chapter 1 has gathered around 740 Cr gross worldwide until yesterday, and today the film will hit the 750 Cr mark and head towards this year’s biggest grosser to beat Chhaava (800 Cr).

SSMB29 Glimpse Launch to Be the Biggest Event Ever

There is no need to specially mention the massive buzz surrounding Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli’s SSMB29, and its glimpse launch is shaping up to be one of the biggest events ever.

Usually, movie announcements take place during a pooja ceremony or a press meet. However, for the first time, Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s SSMB29 will be launched through a grand, large-scale event.

The team is reportedly planning something similar to a big pre-release event, where they will share key details about the film and also unveil the much-awaited glimpse.

Through this event, the makers aim to tell audiences that the biggest-ever film in Indian cinema is on its way. The event is said to be scheduled for November 16th.

Massive Hype Around SSMB29 Glimpse Launch

At present, the team is considering Ramoji Film City (RFC) as the main venue, while two other locations are also under discussion. Once the necessary permissions are in place, the final venue will be confirmed—most likely within this week.

Three major announcements are expected at the grand launch on November 16th: the movie title, release date, and the glimpse.

Interestingly, this will also mark the first time an Indian film is being planned for a simultaneous release in major Hollywood markets. As of now, the makers are targeting a March 2027 release.

There are rumors about possible titles such as Varanasi and Gen 63, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what the team officially announces. The excitement surrounding this highly anticipated film continues to grow every day.

K-Ramp Box Office on Fire – Blasting Diwali

Kiran Abbavaram’s K-Ramp released on Saturday with low buzz and the film also faced negative reviews from overseas premieres. Still, the film set the box office on fire on the first weekend and is set for a break even with its first week.

As said above, the film received initial negative response but it had a complete turnaround after the shows started in India and it had a good improvement in collections and WOM with each passing show.

K-Ramp Emerges as the Diwali Winner for Telugu Releases

Dude initially dominated in Telugu for this Diwali but now Kiran Abbavaram’s K-Ramp becomes their first preference.

Overall for 3 days, K-Ramp has collected around 11 Cr gross worldwide, with the break even set at 16 Cr. It almost recovered 70% in 3 days, and the trade expects today also to be a big day for the film. The film is all set to achieve the break even by the 1st week itself.

Also, it will emerge as the biggest grosser for this Diwali in Telugu releases. Kiran Abbavaram continues the Diwali sentiment as last year he had released KA, which became his biggest blockbuster and this year he released K-Ramp.

In Tamil Nadu the film sees rampage on Diwali day, as the Day 4 becomes its biggest day and it even sees a double digit gross collections in Tamil Nadu.

OG Controversy: What Went Wrong Between Sujeeth and Danayya

OG registered the biggest pre-release business in Pawan Kalyan’s career, and it is also his biggest box office grosser. However, even for this film, there seem to be some issues between director Sujeeth and producer Danayya. 

This buzz has been circulating in the industry for quite some time:Danayya was reportedly not happy with the film’s budget, as it exceeded the initially planned amount. Sujeeth, on the other hand, had his own reasons for the budget increase, which led to these differences.

Due to this, Sujeeth and Danayya canceled their next planned project. A film in the combination of Nani and Sujeeth was officially announced under Danayya’s production, but later, it was shifted to the Niharika Entertainments banner because of the issues between both.

Now, another buzz is that Sujeeth had even spent his own money on Pawan Kalyan’s OG due to the same conflicts. The news of issues between Sujeeth and Danayya is currently circulating on the internet, though neither of them publicly addressed the matter.

But at some point, they may need to clarify why they parted ways, and it remains to be seen what the real reason behind their split was.

After OG vs Akhanda 2, Now Peddi vs The Paradise

Nani and Srikanth Odela reunite after their sensational blockbuster Dasara for a much bigger pan-India film titled The Paradise. The film was the first to officially announce its release date — March 26, 2026.

Surprisingly, within a short time, Peddi, the combination of Global Star Ram Charan and Uppena fame Buchi Babu Sana, announced its release date as March 27, 2026.

At that time, everyone expected that both films wouldn’t arrive together and that one of them would eventually get postponed. However, both teams have been sticking to their dates and confidently stating that they won’t miss their respective release plans.

Now, Buchi Babu Sana has dropped a bomb — revealing that they’re planning to release Peddi on March 26, the same date as The Paradise! With this, there’s not even a one-day gap between the two biggies. It seems the Peddi team is extremely confident that The Paradise may not release as planned. Whether this has been discussed internally or not is unknown, but outwardly, both teams are firmly claiming that they’re 100% targeting the announced date.

A similar situation happened this year when OG and Akhanda 2 targeted the same release date — September 25. Eventually, OG arrived on time, while Akhanda 2 was postponed to December 5.

Now, in the Peddi vs The Paradise clash, it’s clear that finally, only one film will hit theatres on March 26, 2026. It remains to be seen which one will keep the date — and which one will step back.

Akhanda 2’s Blasting Roar Teaser Crucial

Akhanda 2 team has somehow delayed their promotional content. With less than 50 days left for release, only a short glimpse and a poster have been released so far. Since then, there have been no new updates, and even fans have expressed frustration over the team’s silence, especially during festive occasions.

Akhanda 2 is the biggest film in Balakrishna’s career. Though the sequel already carries strong hype, building a massive buzz is equally important — particularly because the film is also targeting the Hindi market along with Telugu. Hence, aggressive promotions are much needed at this stage.

Finally, the team has given fans a Diwali gift — announcing that a “blasting roar” teaser will arrive on October 24th at 4:54 PM. Yes, the much-awaited teaser, said to be over a minute long, is finally set to release and will play a crucial role in boosting the film’s buzz.

From here on, the updates are expected to flow continuously — teaser, songs, trailer, big events, and promotional interviews one after another. The teaser now carries huge expectations and must deliver strong impact, scale, and energy to give the movie the momentum it needs before release.

Baahubali The Epic Shocks Buyers

Baahubali The Epic, the re-release combining both parts of Baahubali into a single film, is set to hit theatres on October 31st across all formats and languages. The rerelease censored with 225 minutes runtime with UA rating.  The re-release is carrying phenomenal craze — bigger than any re-release so far. The USA advance bookings are already proving the hype

With this craze, buyers are ready to offer higher prices than ever before for a re-release. However, the makers are quoting even bigger prices, leaving buyers in shock. The quoted rates are almost equivalent to a straight release of a Tier-2 star film. Interestingly, on the same day, Mass Jathara is also releasing, yet Baahubali The Epic is commanding a much higher ratio.

The makers are extremely confident that this re-release will be massive and are even predicting it could target ₹100 Cr gross. It remains to be seen how the business unfolds and how the film performs at the box office.

Back during the original Baahubali release, many felt the film was overpriced — but it turned into a jackpot for buyers. Now, all eyes are on whether Baahubali The Epic can repeat the same magic once again.
