In 2025, two small-budget films, Court: A State vs Nobody and Little Hearts, proved that content is truly king, regardless of a film's star power. Both movies resonated deeply with audiences and delivered exceptional performances at the box office.
Directed by Ram Jagadeesh and presented by Nani, Court features Priyadarshi and Rohini in lead roles. Despite being produced on a modest budget of Rs 5 crore, it became a massive success, earning a worldwide gross of Rs 58 crore.
Released on September 5, 2025, Little Hearts stars Mouli Tanuj Prasanth and Shivani Nagaram. This film achieved an even more remarkable feat: made on a lean budget of just Rs 2.4 crore, it went on to collect Rs 40 crore worldwide. For those who missed it in theaters, the film is now available for digital streaming on Netflix.
