Nevertheless, this film by Thalaivar and Lokesh Kanagaraj did not live up to the expectations and could not take advantage of the huge pre-release buzz and promotion. Let us know here the list of worldwide top 10 films of the year 2025.

How was the report card of Kollywood films in the year 2025?
While Rajinikanth’s Coolie achieved the top position in the worldwide collections, Ajith Kumar had two films released this year, Vidamuyarchi and Good Bad Ugli.
