🎙 Episode 12: 2025 Bollywood Recap: Trying, Failing, Occasionally Succeeding

2025 was the year Bollywood finally ran out of excuses.

In this episode of Break Ke Baad, we look back at a year that made one thing painfully clear: the Hindi film industry no longer knows who it’s making movies for — or why. From quietly devastating indie gems to confused big-ticket sequels and misfiring “important” cinema, we break down what worked, what absolutely didn’t, and what this year says about Bollywood’s creative crisis.

We talk about films that tried to hold onto soul, films that took bold risks, and films that proved how exhausted the system really is. Along the way, we ask the uncomfortable question no one in the industry seems ready to answer: is this just a bad phase, or are we watching the slow collapse of Bollywood as we know it?

A recap, a critique, and a bit of a post-mortem — this is our 2025 Bollywood review, unfiltered.
