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. The film’s occupancy was strong in city multiplexes, and its fresh pairing and music have contributed to the positive buzz. Industry analysts are watching its weekend growth closely as it sets out to challenge the established heavyweights in theatres.

The film opened to a record-breaking ₹65 crore on Day 1 and has set new benchmarks for Tamil cinema. While weekday collections have tapered, its solid overall haul makes it 2025’s top grosser so far.

War 2 Stays Strong: ₹231.90 Crore in 16 Days
“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.
