2025’s first half is wrapping up with Kubera serving as the final significant premiere. Mohanlal dominated the initial months of the year, delivering two historic hits: Empuraan (earning Rs 263 crore) and Thudarum (earning Rs 233 crore). Venkatesh’s Sankranthiki Vasthunam surpassed box office predictions, grossing nearly Rs 250 crore globally. Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly amassed a substantial Rs 242 crore, while Pradeep Ranganathan demonstrated his box office resilience with the blockbuster Dragon. Nani solidified his consistent performance record with Hit 3.
2023 saw unexpected blockbusters like Tourist Family and Madha Gaja Raja, alongside several smaller films causing waves at the box office. However, many other films from Ajith Kumar’s Vidaamuyarchi, Ram Charan’s Game Changer, Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life, and Suriya’s Retro didn’t meet expectations. The second half of 2025 promises a lot with a lineup of significant South Indian films on the horizon. Here’s our list of 5 highly anticipated South Indian movies due for release in the latter part of 2025.
