2025 turned out to be a disappointing year for Telugu cinema. As the year is about to end, here’s presenting a box office analysis of the top 10 highest-grossing Telugu movies at the box office.
They Call Him OG, starring Pawan Kalyan in the lead role, topped the charts and emerged as the biggest grosser this year. The action drama, directed by Sujeeth, stormed over Rs. 219 crore in India and Rs. 283 crore at the worldwide box office. Besides OG, Pawan Kalyan had one more release, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which couldn’t impress the audience and turned out to be a failure. However, it managed to find a place among the top grossers of 2025.
Sankranthiki Vasthunam secured the second spot, with an earning of Rs. 250 crore gross worldwide. It was a big Hit at the box office. Ram Charan and Shankar’s maiden collaboration, Game Changer, turned out to be a misfire. The political action drama grossed around Rs. 178 crore globally and secured the third spot. The fourth, fifth, and sixth spots belong to Mirai, Kuberaa, and Akhanda 2, respectively. All these movies managed to gross slightly over the Rs. 100 crore mark at the worldwide box office.
Daaku Maharaaj, HIT: The Third Case, and Thandel turned out to be successes at the box office, with a positive theatrical run.
