Mahavatar Narsimha Becomes India’s Highest Grossing Animated Film

Mahavatar Narsimha is enjoying a dream run at the box office. Even after ten days, the momentum hasn’t slowed down. In fact, it’s picking up. With Rs 91.35 crore already collected, the buzz around the film just keeps growing. Sunday turned out to be its biggest day yet, raking in Rs 23.50 crore. Audiences are turning up in large numbers and the excitement is still going strong.

What is working wonders is how the film has connected across regions. The Telugu 3D version had nearly 88 percent occupancy on Sunday which is massive and the 2D version was not far behind either. Even in Hindi, both versions saw great numbers especially the 3D one. The film has also been dubbed in Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam and it is finding love from every corner. It is rare to see an animated film create this kind of nationwide craze.

Despite facing tough competition from films like Saiyaara, Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2, Mahavatar Narsimha is holding its ground with ease. It is not just doing well, it is making history. The film has officially become the highest grossing animated film ever in India, beating global hits like Spider Man and Kung Fu Panda at the Indian box office. That is a huge moment not just for the film but for Indian animation and mythological storytelling as a whole.

At the core of it all is a powerful story, the tale of young Prahlad and the divine appearance of Narasimha. It is a story so many of us grew up hearing, now brought to life in the most spectacular way. And this is only the beginning. The makers are planning an entire animated universe based on the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu with new titles rolling out over the next few years. If this is the starting point, the journey ahead looking like nothing short of epic.
