Tollywood is gearing up for an exciting summer with a packed lineup of movies. With big-budget movies like Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara and Prabhas’ The Raja Saab postponing their releases, mid-range movies have an incredible probability to shine on the box office.
The summer season began early with two notable releases on March 14—Kiran Abbavaram’s Dilruba and Priyadarshi’s Court, produced under Nani’s banner. Later, on March 28, Nithiin’s Robinhood and Mad Square from Sithara Entertainments are set to hit the screens.
Tamil star Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran Part 2 and the Malayalam big-budget film L2: Empuraan may also be released that very same day. Adding more excitement, Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna’s highly anticipated Sikandar will arrive on March 30 as an Eid special. With a large ₹200 crore budget, Sikandar has high expectations.
April will proceed the momentum with Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas’ Bhairavam on April 4. This can be followed by Siddu Jonnalagadda’s Jack, Ajith’s Good Bad Ugly, and Sunny Deol’s Jaat, all releasing on April 10. Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s Arjun: Son of Vyjayanthi is ready for April 17. Anushka Shetty’s Ghaati, Sundarakanda, and Kesari Chapter 2 will arrive the following day. Vishnu Manchu’s ambitious Kannappa can be released on April 25 to shut the month.
May will bring a number of the biggest clashes on the box office. The month starts strong with Nani’s HIT 3 and Suriya’s Retro, each releasing on May 1. Then, all eyes can be on Pawan Kalyan’s much-awaited Hari Hara Veera Mallu on May 9. This date might impact the discharge of Nithiin’s Thammudu, which might be postponed. Finally, Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom will conclude the summer season on May 30.
Who Will Dominate Summer 2025 Amongst VD, Salman & Suriya?
Nonetheless, it’s a must-win situation for 3 actors, Vijay Deverakonda, Salman Khan, and Suriya, who’re desperate for successful. Suriya’s last film, Kanguva, was a large disaster. Despite a budget of ₹350 crore, the film didn’t cross ₹100 crore on the box office. It was considered one of Kollywood’s most vital losses.
For Vijay Deverakonda, each Liger and Family Star turned out disappointing. Family Star barely made roughly ₹20 crore against its ₹50 crore budget, causing huge losses for distributors. As for Salman Khan, while Tiger 3 had a robust start, its collections dropped, and it struggled to achieve the ₹300 crore mark, making it considered one of the weaker entries within the Tiger franchise.
With the summer box office set for intense competition, all eyes can be on Vijay Deverakonda, Salman Khan, and Suriya to see in the event that they can bounce back. A successful run could restore their box office power, while one other failure might further impact their standing within the industry. As the discharge dates approach, audiences and trade analysts eagerly await the outcomes to see who will dominate Summer 2025.
