The Indian box office continued its strong performance in February 2025, recording a total gross collection of ₹1,245 crore, according to The India Box Office Report by Ormax Media. Leading the charge was Vicky Kaushal’s period drama Chhaava, which contributed a massive 53% of the total box office earnings for the month.
Box Office Performance: February 2025
The February 2025 collections mark a 39% increase compared to the same period in 2024, making it the highest-grossing February post-pandemic. The momentum from January carried forward, helping the total box office collections for 2025 so far reach ₹2,264 crore.
Chhaava Dominates the Box Office
Released on February 14, Chhaava, directed by Laxman Utekar, has emerged as the highest-grossing film of the month, crossing ₹650 crore at the domestic box office. The film, starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, is a biopic on Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. While its Telugu version was released in March 2025, the February box office report only accounts for its Hindi-language earnings, solidifying its position as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of all time.

Besides Chhaava, only one other film managed to surpass the ₹100 crore mark—the Tamil film Dragon, which emerged as a breakout hit and outperformed the big-budget Tamil film Vidaamuyarchi.
