PAWAN KALYAN KICKS OUT SRK FROM TOP 10 INDIAN FILMS

Pawan Kalyan with OG dethroneed Shah Rukh Khan the only Bollywood Star who had a place in the top 10 biggest openers of Indian Cinema. With no immediate films from SRK, it looks like SRK will have to stay out of the list this year. In fact only Bollywood film company that has a place in top 10 is the one that produced AdiPurush and starring Prabhas. In fact Prabhas has five films in the list.

All this true but one thing is that OG does not click in Hindi and Pawan's Pan India dream still remains elusive. As per Sacnilk, it earned Rs. 50 lakhs on Day 1, Rs. 40 lakhs on Day 2, and Rs. 50 lakhs on Day 3. That makes about Rs. 1.4 crores over three days, and projections suggest only around Rs. 2 crores by the end of the extended weekend.

Read on; Until Pawan Kalyan arrived with a tsunami of numbers, it was Shah Rukh Khanthe only Bollywood actor acting as the saving grace for Bollywood in the list of the top 10 Indian openers ever! Jawan, with an opening day collection of 75 crore, held the tenth and the only spot by a Bollywood actor in the list!

Pawan Kalyan’s They Call Him OG, with its 80+ crore opening day collection, pushed Jawan out of the top 10 list. Now, the entire list is dominated by South Indian actors, with Prabhas ruling the maximum number of spots with his 5 films!

The top 10 Indian openers list now contains only 1 Bollywood film – Adipurushsince it was a Bollywood production. However, it does not have any Bollywood actor holding the fort anymore! The disappointing part is the list might remain like this for the rest of the year as far as the entry of a Bollywood film is considered!

Currently, with 3 months remaining for 2025 to end, there are only two major releases – Thamma and Dhurandhar that are yet to arrive at the box office, but none of them might manage to enter the list of the top 10 Indian openers!

Check out the top 10 biggest openings by an Indian film at the box office (India Net Collections).

  1. Pushpa 2: 179.25 crore
  2. RRR: 134 crore
  3. Baahubali 2: 121 crore
