War 2, Dhurandhar and Son of Sardaar 2 and more: Major Bollywood movies releasing in 2025 second half

The first part of 2025 was filled with drama, comedy, and thrills. While some movies captured the audience's hearts, others failed to make an impact at the box office. It all started with Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which became the year's first hit. Other films released this year included Salman Khan's Sikandar and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par. The second part of the year began with a bang, thanks to Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, which turned out to be a super hit. With this strong start, we take a look at all the major movies scheduled for release in the second half of the year, including Hrithik Roshan's War 2 and Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar.
