The Indian box office is abuzz in August 2025 as three big releases — “Param Sundari,” “Coolie,” and “War 2” — battle for audience attention and commercial supremacy. Here’s the latest collection tally for each film, providing a snapshot of one of the most competitive weekends of the year.
Param Sundari Makes Promising Debut: ₹7.25 Crore Day 1
Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra’s romantic comedy “Param Sundari” hit the screens with a robust ₹7.25 crore India net collection on its opening day.

“War 2,” starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr., has accumulated ₹231.90 crore India net in 16 days, despite witnessing steep drops after its opening week. The movie’s first day netted ₹52 crore, but collections declined as competition increased, especially with Param Sundari’s release. War 2 remains a powerful draw for action lovers, maintaining second place among current releases.
