21 October 2025 Box Office Collection Report
This report focuses on the collection figures for October 21st, 2025, for all major films. Two major films were released on the same day.
One of them took a massive lead right from the first show. Let us dive into the details of the biggest films in theatres right now.
Thamma and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat: The Fresh Releases Face Off
October 21, 2025, was a huge day for the industry. Two big films hit the screens. The films were Thamma and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. Both films are trying to grab the attention of the audience. The results from the first day show a very clear winner.
Thamma: A Thunderous Start with ₹25.6 Crore India Net
Thamma was the biggest release of the day. It is an extremely high-budget film. The movie was made on a budget of ₹150 Crore. This puts a huge pressure on the film to perform very well.
Thamma started its box office journey with a bang. On its opening day (Day 1), the film collected a huge ₹25.6 Crore (India Net). This is a fantastic start for a highly anticipated movie. This huge number shows that the film had very strong advance booking. The audience was very excited to watch this movie.
The worldwide collection for Thamma on Day 1 stands at ₹30.46 Crore. The collections outside India are also very good. These numbers are a sign of a potential Super Hit film.
However, the film needs to maintain this high collection over the first weekend. It needs to keep going strong to cover its massive ₹150 Crore budget. The Day 1 collection is a strong 17% of the budget already. This is an excellent trend. The coming weekend will be crucial for the film’s final status.
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’s Decent Opening Day
The second new release on October 21st was Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. This film was made on a moderate budget of ₹35 Crore. It faced tough competition from Thamma and the other running films.
The film collected ₹9.1 Crore on its opening day (Day 1). The worldwide collection is ₹10.82 Crore. This is a decent opening number for this film. It is a respectable start, but not a huge one. For a ₹35 Crore budget film, a ₹9.1 Crore opening is good.
The film has covered about 26% of its budget on the very first day. The movie’s success now depends on word-of-mouth. If the audience likes the film, the collections might grow over the next few days. It needs to show good growth on Wednesday and Thursday.

Kantara Chapter 1: The Undisputed King Continues Its Record Run
While the new films arrived, the biggest story remains Kantara Chapter 1. This film is proving to be a true cinematic phenomenon. It is currently in its third week.
Kantara Chapter 1: Marching Towards Global Records on Day 20
Kantara Chapter 1 is showing unbelievable holding power. On Day 20, the film collected a huge ₹12.1 Crore (India Net). This is higher than the Day 1 collection of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. This shows the sheer demand for this movie.

This film is a certified All-Time Blockbuster. It has already crossed many historical box office records. The ₹761 Crore worldwide number is a milestone that very few films achieve. It is now aiming for the ₹800 Crore mark worldwide.
The film’s run is inspiring to the entire film industry. It shows that great content always wins.
Mid-Week Action: Dude, Bison Kaalamaadan, and Telusu Kada
The box office also saw a tight race between three other films that were in their first week. Dude, Bison Kaalamaadan, and Telusu Kada were all on Day 5 of their theatrical run.
Dude’s Impressive Run Outshines the Competition
Dude is performing exceptionally well. The movie collected ₹10.5 Crore on Day 5. This collection is very strong for a Day 5 figure. It shows that the film is holding up against the new releases. The movie has a total collection (India Net) of ₹52.05 Crore. The worldwide collection is ₹70.3 Crore.
The film’s budget is ₹30 Crore. The film has already crossed its budget by a big margin. It is officially a Super Hit film. It is now heading towards blockbuster status. The film is making a very good profit for its makers.
Bison Kaalamaadan’s Steady Pace
Bison Kaalamaadan also completed its Day 5. The film has a budget of ₹30 Crore. On Day 5, it collected ₹5.5 Crore (India Net). This is a good collection. The film’s total India Net collection is ₹22.1 Crore. The worldwide total is ₹26.07 Crore.
The movie is still short of its budget. It needs to collect another ₹8 Crore to cover the cost. However, the film is showing steady collections. It has a high chance of becoming a Hit by the end of its first week. The collections must remain stable in the coming days.
Telusu Kada’s Challenging Journey
Telusu Kada is also on Day 5. It was made on a budget of ₹20 Crore. The film collected ₹0.9 Crore on Day 5. This collection is quite low. The film’s total India Net collection stands at ₹7.55 Crore. The worldwide collection is ₹9.58 Crore.
The film is struggling to recover its budget. It needs a massive jump over the next weekend, which looks unlikely. It is currently heading towards a Flop verdict unless it shows a sudden turnaround.
K-Ramp and Sunny Sanskari: The Final Legs of the Race
These two films represent the smaller players and the long runners.
K-Ramp’s Pursuit of Hit Status
K-Ramp is a small-budget film of ₹15 Crore. On Day 4, it collected ₹1.97 Crore. The film’s total India Net collection is ₹9.32 Crore. The worldwide collection is ₹10.82 Crore. The film is showing a promising trend. It has covered about 62% of its budget. Given its small budget, it only needs a few more steady days to be declared a Hit.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’s Curtain Call
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is in its fourth week (Day 20). The film had a budget of ₹80 Crore. On Day 20, it collected a very low ₹0.34 Crore. The film’s total India Net collection is ₹59.64 Crore. The worldwide total is ₹94.15 Crore.
The film has concluded its run and is now in its final days. While the worldwide gross has crossed the budget, the India Net collection is still below the ₹80 Crore budget. It is likely to end its run with a Below Average or Flop verdict in India, despite a decent worldwide gross.
