Mahavatar Narsimha Completes 50 Days With Record-Breaking Box Office Collection
Mumbai, September 13 - The Indian box office witnessed an unexpected blockbuster this year in Mahavatar Narsimha in the genre, which was largely unexplored in Indian cinema - animation. The Ashwin Kumar directorial has now completed 50 days in cinemas with an unheard box office collection worldwide. Produced by Kaleem Production and presented by Hombale Films, Mahavatar Narsimha has struck a chord with audiences from day one, thanks to its mesmerising visuals and strong storytelling rooted in Indian epics. At a time when most films struggle to sustain even two weeks, the animated blockbuster not only survived but thrived, becoming a true blockbuster. Mahavatar Narsimha opened to decent but big enough for the genre before word of mouth showed its magic and took the things to the next level. The film has sustained remarkably well, week after week, and has continued its dream run with steady collections across mass circuits as well as urban centres. In its 50 days of theatrical run so far, the movie has raked in approximately 325 crore at the worldwide box office, including 296.50+ crores gross (249+ crores net) in India, firmly cementing its place among the top-grossing films of 2025. It also recorded impressive footfalls, with family audiences, devotees, and repeat viewers driving its long theatrical run. It has so far sold nearly 1.50 crores tickets in India. To understand the phenomenon of Mahavatar Narsimha, it has earned 30x of the second-highest-grossing Indian animated film, Hanuman (11+ crores gross worldwide), which is unheard of. The film's performance has opened the door for Indian animation, which is already seeing multiple films getting announced. In today's era of short theatrical windows, the film's 50-day run stands as a testament to the audience's love for grandeur rooted in faith and storytelling. Mahavatar Narsimha is not just a box office success — it's a roaring celebration of devotion on the silver screen, the ultimate medium for larger-than-life experience. Stay tuned...
