Onam 2025 Box Office Race is ready for a grand performance, which has targets for release at least two major films, and possibly all four if things run according to the plan. The first lineup is Hridaypurvam, starring Mohanlal, directed by Satyathan Anthikad. The great pair have already given prestigious hits such as Nadodikattu and Vinodayathra, and fans have high expectations for their reunion. Known for subject-oriented films, projects with Mohanlal’s Sathton have always hit a raga with the audience. With filming, already 50% complete and only to shoot songs, the team is confident of timely wrapping for ONAM.
The second contender is Merd Buddha, which is Prithviraj Sukumaran. Directed by GR Indugopan, the film tells the story of two people locked in a fierce struggle on a precious sandalwood tree. Prithviraj has a reputation to take unique and implied subjects, much like his acclaimed aadujeeevitham (goat life). Given Pushpa’s huge success, which revolves around Sandalwood smuggling, fans are eager to see if the merger Buddha can rebuild a similar box office magic.
Next, Dhabaha, an action thriller directed by Dhananjay Shankar, in the race, starring Dilip and Vinith Srinivasan. The film follows the story of a fraudulent astrologer who unexpectedly gains the power to travel through time. Produced by Gokulam Gopalan, the film brings a fresh twist in the time-journey style by combining it with astrology, which can click well with the audience. If the team manages to complete filming and post-production on time, Bhabhabha ONAM can add even more heat to the clash.
Rounding from the list is the plot: The Wild Society, a fantasy thriller directed by Rosin Thomas. Starring Jayasuri, Anushka Shetty and Prabhu Dev, the film comes with an additional advantage of Anushka’s mass fanbase. With the position of his previous hit Bhamathi and his creed, his presence has already made a buzz, especially among the Telugu fans. Combined with the film’s complicated poster and scary-fantasy theme, Kishanar is expected to attract both Malayalam and Pan-Indian audiences. With all four big films monitoring the same festive window, Onam 2025 is taking shape as an thrilling box office battle.
