New Delhi: Bollywood and Tollywood releases are showing mixed performances at the box office this week. According to Sacnilk, Ajay Devgn’s De De Pyaar De 2 continues its strong run, while Mahesh Babu’s Kaantha is holding steady in the South.
Meanwhile, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is dominating globally, bringing Hollywood heat to Indian screens. Amid these numbers, smaller films like Haq, Jigris, and Jatadhara are struggling to keep momentum after their first-week highs.
This listicle will provide an overview of how films from different languages have performed so far. Dig inside to know everything about the entire box office reports.
Bollywood’s big romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2 remains the top performer in India. As per Sacnilk’s estimates, the film has collected Rs 68.5 crore gross so far, with Rs 47.73 crore net in India and Rs 15.75 crore from overseas markets. The movie has found solid family audiences across urban centres. Trade expert Taran Adarsh told Sacnilk, “The film’s strong pre-release recall value and festive mood have helped boost collections in multiplex circuits.”
Down South, Mahesh Babu’s action entertainer Kaantha continues to attract crowds. The film has earned Rs 28.65 crore globally, including Rs 19.14 crore in India and Rs 8 crore overseas. Sacnilk reported that the movie’s solid word of mouth is driving its weekday collections, especially in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. “Mahesh Babu’s fan base is truly pan-Indian now,” said Tollywood analyst Vamsi Kaka.
In the Hollywood segment, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t emerged as a massive global winner, taking in a staggering Rs 680 crore worldwide. In India, it collected Rs 3.54 crore, which is strong for a mid-scale Hollywood release. Sacnilk noted, “The film’s mind-twisting visuals and star ensemble have connected well with young Indian audiences.”
Among smaller films, Haq collected Rs 26.5 crore globally after two weeks, showing a decent hold but struggling to sustain momentum. The film struggled to earn occupancy as well as numbers at the box office.
The sci-fi thriller has reported a worldwide gross of approximately $30.7 million (about Rs 256 crore) as of November 18, 2025. The domestic US and Canada collections stand at $19.5 million (Rs 1,729,533,370.50), and international markets contributed $11.2 million ( 993,373,012.80) to the tally. In India, the film earned Rs 0.64 crore net on opening, with another Rs 1.25 crore net over the following days, but the main revenue driver is global receipts.
Tollywood's Jigris has seen a modest run so far. As per collections till now, the film has earned Rs 1.71 crore net in India and approximately Rs 1.98 crore worldwide. Opening with Rs 0.39 crore on the first day, it saw minor increases over the weekend, with positive family audience feedback but tough competition from larger releases.
The Tamil adventure film Kumki 2 has collected around Rs 1.86 crore net in India by the sixth day since release, with the worldwide gross also at Rs 1.86 crore due to negligible overseas presence. The film started with Rs 0.2 crore on its opening day and gradually picked up, crossing Rs 1 crore within four days. Occupancy remains low due to competition and mixed reviews.
Jatadhara is another Tollywood release, earning Rs 7.32 crore gross in India and Rs 0.65 crore overseas, for a total worldwide gross of Rs 7.97 crore. It continues to bring in modest numbers in the Telugu circuit, buoyed soon after release by regional promotions and word of mouth.
Overall, Bollywood and South Indian films are competing closely this month, with De De Pyaar De 2 maintaining an edge nationally and Kaantha dominating the Telugu belt.
