The internet has been buzzing with conversations about *Gondhal*. Recently—just a couple of days ago—it was revealed that the movie has been chosen as India’s official entry for the 99th Academy Awards (Oscars 2027), catching many off guard. Standing out among the notable Indian releases of 2025, the Marathi crime thriller captured the jury’s attention and naturally sparked widespread curiosity. In light of this news, let us examine how the picture performed domestically at the box office during its theatrical run.
Distributed by AA Films, the Marathi crime thriller debuted in theaters on November 14, 2025. Opening with virtually zero pre-release hype, it experienced a sluggish start. Although it garnered mostly favorable reviews and positive word-of-mouth recommendations, it struggled to create a sense of urgency among audiences, largely because it departed from mainstream commercial cinema.
How much did Gondhal earn at the Indian box office?
Kicking off its theatrical journey with a modest 5 lakh on day one, the movie experienced an upward bump over its opening weekend, though its overall earnings remained low. It managed to sustain a six-week run in cinemas without accumulating a substantial total. Final updates place its domestic net earnings at 84 lakh, translating to a gross collection of 99 lakh.
