Box Office: Rajinikanth’s Coolie Is 2025’s Top Overseas Grosser, Saiyaara Dominates Mohanlal’s Force

2025 has been a mixed bag in terms of the performance of Indian films in the overseas market. While some films surprised everyone with their performance, some major films failed to make a significant impact. Currently, Rajinikanth’s Coolie is dominating the charts as the highest-grossing Indian film in the overseas market, but overall, Bollywood and Mollywood are showing strength in the top 5 grossers of the year.

Big releases failed to deliver

Before we get started, first let’s talk about the films that failed to make it big despite having the potential.

From Bollywood, films like Sikandar, Housefull 5, and War 2 were expected to amass a strong number, but failed to achieve it.
