Avatar 3: Fire and Ash Becomes Biggest Hollywood Grosser of 2025 in India, Faces Dhurandhar Box Office Clash

James Cameron's much-awaited sci-fi spectacle Avatar: Fire and Ash has emerged as the biggest Hollywood grosser in India in 2025, achieving the milestone in just seven days of its release. The third installment of the Avatar franchise continues to dominate the box office both domestically and globally, maintaining strong momentum despite stiff competition from Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna Starrer Dhurandhar.

According to early estimates by Sacnilk, Avatar: Fire and Ash earned around Rs 13.50 crore on its seventh day in India, taking its total domestic collection to approximately Rs 109.65 crore. The film crossed the Rs 100 crore mark within its first week itself, a remarkable feat considering it is competing with Aditya Dhar's spy actioner Dhurandhar, which is also performing strongly at the box office.
