2025 Round-up: Average Performers of the Year

on Dec 29, 2025

The year 2025 has presented itself with huge lessons to film industry. Some films did attract audiences but after a point they did not end up being such remarkable grossers that exhibitors and distributors expected them to be. Here's the list of such films that ended up as Average grossers at the box office. 


They Call Him OG: Pawan Kalyan’s gangster drama delivered the year’s biggest opening day but struggled with high distribution costs. Despite high collections, the "massive acquisition price" pushed it into the "average/losing" category for many distributors.


The Great Indian Pre-Wedding Show: Starring Thiruveer, this quirky rural comedy was lauded by critics for its "Srikakulam flavor" and "unforced humor." It performed steadily as a sleeper average-to-hit, though its niche appeal limited a massive breakout.


Kishkindhapuri: Bellamkonda Sreenivas found a commercial success after six years with this horror-thriller. While not a record-breaker, its steady theatrical run and low-budget recovery earned it a "plus" verdict.

Daaku Maharaaj: Nandamuri Balakrishna’s mass entertainer performed well in rural centers but struggled to recover its heavy budget in urban markets. It remains a staple for the mass audience but finished as an average venture.


Kuberaa: The Dhanush-King Nagarjuna Akkineni multi-starrer was a critical darling for its unique narrative structure by writer-director Sekhar Kammula. However, it fell short of being a "hit" due to a heavy budget that proved difficult to fully recoup theatrically.


The Girlfriend & Sundarakanda: Both films found a second life on OTT platforms. While they didn't ignite the theatrical box office, their quality content ensured they were respectable average performers.
