23 October 2025 Box Office Collection Report

The box office collections on Thursday, 23 October 2025, showed a clear picture. The collections were dominated by two big releases. One is the newest big-budget film, Thamma.

The other is the ongoing historical success, Kantara Chapter 1. This Thursday was a busy day for cinema halls across India. The reports show that the audience is divided between the new and the successful old films.

This report from BoxOfficeWala gives you all the details. We break down what these numbers mean for each movie.

Day 3 Collection Report: Thamma Takes the Lead

The third day of the new releases saw strong numbers. Both Thamma and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat had a good hold. Thamma is the highest-grossing film of the day among all releases.

Thamma’s Strong Weekday Hold is a Positive Sign

Thamma is a massive film. It has a high production budget of ₹150 Crore. This makes its opening collection very important.

On its third day, which was Thursday, Thamma collected ₹12.7 Crore (India Net). This is a very strong number. It shows that the film has been accepted by the audience after the first two days.

The total India Net collection for Thamma now stands at ₹55.3 Crore. Its Worldwide Box Office (WW BO) total is ₹70.24 Crore. The film has covered a significant portion of its budget already. However, it still needs to collect much more to be declared a clear success.

A film with a ₹150 Crore budget needs to cross the ₹200 Crore mark easily. The film is showing good momentum. This trend is very encouraging. The collections over the upcoming weekend will be crucial for Thamma.

If it continues to perform like this, it can achieve blockbuster status. The film’s makers and fans will be very happy with this consistent performance.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Proving to be a Strong Contender

Releasing alongside Thamma was the smaller-budget romantic film, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. This film has a budget of only ₹35 Crore. On its third day, it earned a very respectable ₹6 Crore (India Net). This number is excellent considering its budget size.

The film’s total India Net collection is now ₹22.75 Crore. Its Worldwide collection has reached ₹28.04 Crore. This means that Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is already close to recovering its total investment from India collections alone.

For a film with a ₹35 Crore budget, an India Net collection of ₹22.75 Crore in just three days is a big win. It shows that the content has connected with the younger audience. This film is performing well and is on its way to a definite hit status.

The strong word-of-mouth is helping its collection. It is a good example of how quality content can work well against a mega-budget release.

Kantara Chapter 1: The Box Office Monster Shows No Sign of Slowing Down

The true champion of the current box office is Kantara Chapter 1. It is now running in its fourth week. The film completed 22 days of its run. Yet, its collections are still stronger than most new films.

Chapter 1 Keeps Breaking Records on Day 22

On its 22nd day, Kantara Chapter 1 collected a fantastic ₹6.4 Crore (India Net). This is a huge collection for a film that is almost a month old. This massive number shows the kind of craze the film has generated. The film has a budget of ₹125 Crore.

The total India Net collection for Kantara Chapter 1 is an unbelievable ₹563.9 Crore. Its Worldwide Box Office (WW BO) collection is an astonishing ₹781.94 Crore. These figures are truly historic.

The film has recovered its budget many times over. It is officially an All-Time Mega Blockbuster. Very few films in the history of Indian cinema have achieved such numbers. The movie’s run is a case study for future filmmakers. It proves that the audience will flock to theatres for exceptional content.

Even on a weekday like Thursday, the film is performing like a new release. This indicates that its final collection will cross the ₹800 Crore mark worldwide very soon. The film continues to be the biggest success story of the year.

Week 1 Collection Report: Dude Leads the Mid-Segment

Several films completed their first full week at the box office. They are now entering their second week. The trend on Day 7 is very important to predict their final verdict.

Dude Hits the Jackpot in Week 1

The film Dude had a budget of ₹30 Crore. It completed its first week (Day 7). On Thursday, it collected ₹2.29 Crore (India Net). The total India Net collection for Dude is now ₹56.59 Crore.

The Worldwide collection is ₹87.27 Crore. This is an outstanding performance for a film with a ₹30 Crore budget. The film has already earned a profit. It is a clear Hit and is now moving towards super-hit status. The audience has given a clear thumbs-up to this movie.

Bison Kaalamaadan and K-Ramp Hold Their Ground

Bison Kaalamaadan, another film with a ₹30 Crore budget, also finished its first week (Day 7). It collected ₹1.2 Crore (India Net) on Thursday. Its total India Net collection is ₹26.85 Crore.

The Worldwide collection stands at ₹36.93 Crore. The film is performing decently. It is recovering its costs, but it needs a stronger second weekend to be called a hit. Its performance is satisfactory so far.

The film K-Ramp is a smaller film with a ₹15 Crore budget. On its sixth day, it earned ₹0.9 Crore (India Net). Its total India Net collection is ₹11.4 Crore. The Worldwide collection is ₹15.47 Crore.

This film is also doing a good job. It is very close to breaking even (recovering its cost) from the India Net collections. This is a respectable outcome for a low-budget movie.

Older Releases and Small Films: The Final Tally

Two other films are also in the running, showing the final stage of their journey.

Telusu Kada, with a ₹20 Crore budget, completed its first week (Day 7). It collected a low ₹0.38 Crore (India Net) on Thursday. Its total India Net collection is only ₹8.3 Crore. The Worldwide collection is ₹10.46 Crore. These numbers show that the film has struggled to find an audience. It is a disappointing result for the makers.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is nearing the end of its theatrical run. The film has a big budget of ₹80 Crore. It is on its 22nd day of release.

On Thursday, it collected only ₹0.3 Crore (India Net). Its total India Net collection is ₹60.28 Crore. The Worldwide total is ₹96.47 Crore. Looking at the high budget, the film has not performed up to the mark.
