After a lackluster first half in 2025 with box office collections just crossing ₹1,900 crore, the Hindi film industry is pinning hopes on a stronger second half. A packed release calendar, a wave of sequels, and stories rooted in mythology and folk traditions are expected to drive revenues up by 20-30%, theatre owners and producers said.

The recovery strategy centers on reaching audiences in tier-two and tier-three towns through culturally resonant stories. Franchises like Son of Sardaar 2, War 2, Baaghi 4 and Jolly LLB 3, along with folklore-inspired films like Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 and Thama, are expected to dominate the theatrical landscape in the coming months.

Franchises are a series of films that continue the story of popular characters or worlds—building on past successes to attract loyal audiences with sequels and spin-offs.

REAL ESTATE PLAY: THE END OF INDIA’S BIGGEST TAX HACK

For years, the easiest dinner-table flex in India was a line that began with “You know what I bought that flat for?” and ended with a smug smile. Real estate wasn’t just an investment, it was a moral victory. Hold long enough and inflation would ensure you paid no to minimal tax. All thanks to indexation, a process that adjusts the cost of acquisition for inflation until the year of sale, effectively reducing your capital gains and the tax on them.
