Bollywood's 2025 has been largely characterized by the underperformance of star-studded films, while smaller, content-driven movies struggled. However, three films, 'Dhurandhar,' 'Chhaava,' and 'Saiyaara,' are highlighted as redeeming the year. 'Dhurandhar' has achieved significant global success, nearing Bollywood's all-time box office records. 'Chhaava' ranks as the second-highest grossing Hindi film of the year, with 'Saiyaara' completing the top three, indicating a potential resurgence for the industry.
