December 31, 2025 | Mumbai
As the clock ticks towards midnight on New Year’s Eve, Bollywood bids farewell to a blockbuster year dominated by high-octane action and massive box office records. Here’s a roundup of the biggest headlines making waves on this final day of 2025.
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Ends the Year on a Historic High
Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, has solidified its position as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2025. The film, which hit theaters on December 5, has crossed the ₹720 crore mark in India by year-end, with worldwide collections surpassing ₹1,000 crore. Known for its intense action sequences and gripping narrative, Dhurandhar has rewritten fourth-weekend records and continues its unstoppable run. In a late development, distributors announced a revised version of the film for re-release following directives from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, ensuring it carries momentum into 2026.
Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan’s romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, which released today on December 31, has opened to mixed early responses but is struggling in comparison, barely touching ₹30 crore projections amid the Dhurandhar dominance.
Industry Mourns the Loss of Legends
The year closed on a somber note with tributes pouring in for veteran icon Dharmendra, who passed away in November at the age of 89. Known as Bollywood’s original ‘He-Man,’ his final film Ikkis remains one of the month’s anticipated releases. Fans and stars alike remembered his contributions to Indian cinema on social media today.
Celebs Ring in the New Year with Reflections and Revelations
Stars are sharing heartfelt year-end posts as 2025 wraps up. Kriti Sanon posted a rare photo with rumored beau Kabir Bahia, manifesting good vibes for 2026. Kajol shared glimpses of her celebrations with Ajay Devgn, calling life “precious and unpredictable.” Hrithik Roshan ended the year with girlfriend Saba Azad, humorously revealing quirks about his double thumb in a light-hearted post.
In other news, Kareena Kapoor Khan reflected on a “tough” year following personal challenges, while Esha Deol paid emotional tribute to her late father Dharmendra.
Looking Ahead: Excitement Builds for 2026 Lineup
As announcements trickle in, fans are buzzing about upcoming projects like Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, and sequels including Dhurandhar 2. The industry is poised for another action-packed year.
Bollywood steps into 2026 with optimism, leaving behind a year of triumphs, records, and heartfelt goodbyes. Happy New Year from all of us at BollywoodNewsReporter.com – here’s to more magic on the silver screen!
In the grand scheme of things you actually get a B+ with regard to hard work. Exactly where you confused me personally was in your facts. As they say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more accurate here. Having said that, let me tell you exactly what did deliver the results. Your text is actually incredibly engaging which is probably why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, although I can certainly see a leaps in reasoning you make, I am not necessarily confident of exactly how you seem to unite the points which in turn help to make the actual final result.
