Festive season opening act fails to shake off Bollywood script’s gloom
Mint Chennai
|October 10, 2025
The opening act of the crucial festive season hasn't stirred Indian movie theatres out of their slump, threatening to end the year with a thud.
Theatres are struggling as the festive season opens, with a few big-budget releases like Kantara, to draw crowds.
Their only big-budget hope is Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar, besides a few dark horses.
At last count, Dharma Productions’ Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari had made only around 338 crore, and even the Kannada fantasy thriller Kantara has received traction only in specific markets, including the Hindi belt and Karnataka, Thamma, scheduled for a Diwali release, has generated mixed buzz so far.
Key holidays such as Diwali and Christmas will be celebrated in the coming weeks, but the absence of big star vehicles is pretty evident, says Rahul Puri, managing director of Mukta Arts and Mukta A2 Cinemas.
The festive quarter—the October to December period—usually brings in about 30% of the annual box office income.
