Thank you,. Greetings, everyone, and thank you all for joining our Q4 and FY ’25 earnings call. Q4 has delivered a mixed performance with clear shifts in audience preferences. While big budget films like Skyforce and Deva were expected to lead. It was regional cinema that outperformed. The film and the Tamil drama saw strong box office results across key markets, highlighting the increasing pan-India appeal of regional content. In contrast, several Hinji titles underperformed.
Films such as Emergency, and failed to meet the expectations reflecting the ongoing unpredictability in the healthy chemical segment. February was one of the stronger months of the quarter. Hawa starring Vicki became one of the top-performing Hindi films of the year. In the South the caramel action film Dragon also did well and kept a steady box office numbers. However, not all offices were did not give up some boss office numbers. However, not all religions were unsuccessful. Films like Lavyapa and Badas Ravi Kumar and Mary did not meet expectations, showing that mid-budget titles continue to face challenging in attracting audiences.
March was relatively muted despite strong anticipation, September starring Salman Khan fell short of expectations and did not meet initial forecasts. Overall, FY ’25 brought a diverse mix of critical releases across languages and genres, while only a handful of films delivered strong box office results. The year reflected the industry’s efforts to better understand and respond to shifting audience preferences. There was a clear push towards more varied and innovative storytelling, which believe is a step-in the right direction.
