“Red 2” surpasses “Kesari 2” to secure a spot among the top 5 highest-grossing Hindi films of 2025, while “The Bhootni” suffers a significant box office flop.
Entertainment: Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Vaani Kapoor’s film “Red 2” achieved a new milestone on Tuesday. Within just six days of its release, it outperformed Akshay Kumar’s “Kesari Chapter 2,” securing its place among the highest-grossing Bollywood films of 2025. Interestingly, both films are still running in theaters and have crossed ₹80 crore, with a minor difference of approximately ₹3 crore in their earnings.
Meanwhile, “The Bhootni,” a horror-comedy featuring Sanjay Dutt, Mouni Roy, and Pallak Tiwari, has completely flopped at the box office. The film's earnings have been extremely low, and it is now heading towards substantial losses.
“Red 2”’s Earnings Create a Sensation – Over ₹85 Crore in Just 6 Days
Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Vaani Kapoor’s “Red 2” is receiving a phenomenal response from audiences. The film is performing exceptionally well each day. According to reports, the film earned ₹6.75 crore on Tuesday, its sixth day of release. On Monday, its earnings stood at ₹7.50 crore.
So far, “Red 2” has earned a total of ₹85.50 crore in just six days. This figure is considered quite impressive, and the film is on the verge of surpassing Sunny Deol’s “Jaat,” which has earned ₹87.72 crore to date.
The film is directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, and its total budget is estimated to be around ₹120 crore. Given the rate at which “Red 2”’s earnings are increasing, it is believed that the film will soon surpass its budget and become a hit.
“Red 2”’s Impressive Worldwide Collection Crosses ₹116 Crore
Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Vaani Kapoor’s “Red 2” is performing exceptionally well not only in India but also internationally. Reports suggest that the film has earned ₹15.50 crore in the international market so far. Combining domestic and international earnings, “Red 2”’s total worldwide collection stands at ₹116.25 crore. This film is rapidly establishing itself among the biggest hits of 2025.
Audiences are greatly appreciating the film's story, acting, and thrilling style. If this earning trend continues, this film could soon break several major records.
“Kesari Chapter 2”’s Earnings Decline, Now Gradually Falling Behind
Akshay Kumar’s “Kesari Chapter 2” performed well in its initial days, but its momentum has now slowed down. This film, based on a true story following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, is emotionally moving for audiences. On Tuesday, the film earned only ₹85 lakh, compared to ₹75 lakh on Monday. So far, in 19 days, “Kesari 2” has earned ₹82.10 crore in India.
Internationally, the film has earned ₹31.85 crore. Thus, its total worldwide collection amounts to ₹129.50 crore. While these figures are good, the film is now lagging behind “Red 2.” The slow pace of “Kesari 2” suggests that further growth may be challenging.
“The Bhootni” in Poor Shape, Earning Only ₹4.30 Crore in 6 Days
Despite the presence of big stars like Sanjay Dutt, Mouni Roy, and Pallak Tiwari, “The Bhootni” has failed to make a significant impact at the box office. This horror-comedy received a lukewarm response from audiences. Director Siddhaant Sachdev presented the film on a large scale, but the story and content did not resonate with viewers.
According to reports, “The Bhootni” has earned only ₹4.30 crore in its first six days. On Tuesday, the film's collection dropped to just ₹40 lakh. These low figures clearly indicate that the film is a box office flop. Compared to the other two films, “The Bhootni”’s performance has been extremely slow, and its chances of further success are minimal.
2025’s Top-Grossing Bollywood Films List
