Bollywood in 2025 has offered movie lovers two very different films – War 2, a mega-budget action-packed spy thriller, and Param Sundari, a mid-budget romantic comedy. While both movies came with contrasting themes and expectations, their worldwide box office journeys highlight the balance between scale and smart investments
War 2 Worldwide Box Office Collection & Budget
War 2 is one of the most ambitious projects of the YRF Spy Universe, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani. With a staggering production budget of around ₹300–400 crore, the film promised explosive action, international locations, and big-screen spectacle.
Budget: ₹300–400 crore
Domestic Net Collection: ₹183–243 crore
Domestic Gross Collection: ₹218–287 crore
Overseas Gross: ₹75–80 crore
Despite earning over ₹300 crore worldwide, the film underperformed compared to its expectations, becoming one of the lower earners in the Spy Universe.
Param Sundari Worldwide Box Office Collection & Budget
In contrast, Param Sundari came with a budget of around ₹60 crore, banking on the fresh on-screen chemistry of Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor. The film’s genre—a romantic comedy—targeted urban youth and family audiences, offering humor, music, and breezy storytelling.
Budget: ₹60 crore
Domestic Net Collection: ₹37–38 crore
Domestic Gross Collection: ₹44–46 crore
Overseas Gross: ₹12–15 crore
Worldwide Gross: ₹55–60 crore
For its scale, the film is considered a decent performer, quickly crossing ₹50 crore worldwide and recovering a large portion of its cost.
Recently, the movie was certified by CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) with very few revision suggestions.
