4 Tollywood Surprises That Made Huge Profits in 2025
Take Little Hearts, for example. Tiny budget, huge heart, and boom, it earned more than twelve times what it cost to make.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 1 Dec 2025 3:53 PM ISTTollywood in 2025 has been, weirdly unpredictable. The big-budget films everyone expected to rule the box office, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s Mass Jathara, Vijay Devarakonda’s Kingdom, Ram Charan’s Game Changer, Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa, mostly flopped. Audiences just didn’t bite. But then, out of nowhere, small films with fresh ideas started raking in cash like crazy.
Take Little Hearts, for example. Tiny budget, huge heart, and boom, it earned more than twelve times what it cost to make. People loved it because it felt real, funny, and sweet all at once. It’s one of those movies where you leave the theater grinning, telling everyone to watch it.
Then there’s Raju Weds Rambai. A simple love story, nothing flashy, but it hit the youth like a charm. It didn’t cost much but brought back big money.
And Nani’s Court: State VS A Nobody? A courtroom drama, budget-friendly at 10 crore, but it earned 40.6 crore worldwide. That’s a 306 percent profit. People are still calling it a Super Hit, and it’s hard not to agree.
Even commercial entertainers got smart this year. Sankranthiki Vasthunam spent 50 crore, collected 186.9 crore, and gave a 273 percent profit. So, lesson of 2025: big doesn’t always mean better. Sometimes, a small movie with a fresh story and smart budgeting can just, blow past the giants.
