Mahavatar Narsimha Crosses ₹100 Crore in Hindi – Box Office Report

Mumbai, August 10, 2025 – The Indian animated epic “Mahavatar Narsimha” has achieved a historic milestone, surpassing ₹100 crore nett in its Hindi version on its 16th day of release, cementing its status as a trailblazer in Indian cinema.

Directed by debutant filmmaker Ashwin Kumar and presented by Hombale Films, the film recorded a staggering 219.15% growth on its third Saturday, coinciding with the Raksha Bandhan holiday, propelling it past the coveted ₹100 crore mark.

This remarkable feat is all the more impressive given the film’s modest opening of ₹1.46 crore on July 25, 2025.

According to official nett box office collections, the Hindi version of “Mahavatar Narsimha” earned ₹4.70 crore on Friday and a phenomenal ₹15 crore on Saturday in its third week, bringing its total Hindi nett collection to ₹104.14 crore as of August 9, 2025.

This unprecedented growth, driven by strong word-of-mouth and family audiences, has made “Mahavatar Narsimha” the highest-grossing Indian animated film ever, surpassing records set by “Hanuman” (2005) and even international heavyweights like “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” (2023).

Produced by Kleem Productions on a modest budget of ₹15 crore, “Mahavatar Narsimha” is the first instalment of the ambitious seven-part Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, inspired by the mythological tale of Prahlad and Lord Vishnu’s half-man, half-lion Narsimha avatar.

Released in 2D and 3D across Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada, the Hindi version has emerged as the standout performer, defying expectations for locally made animated films.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh hailed its success, stating, “The smashing run of ‘Mahavatar Narsimha’ is an eye-opener for those who doubted the business potential of animation films – especially those made locally.”

The film’s third-week performance, with packed theaters and increased show counts, underscores its universal appeal, particularly among families and children.

Social media platforms like X are abuzz with praise, with one user describing its run as “CRAZY. INSANE. UNPRECEDENTED,” noting its second-weekend Hindi nett collections of ₹35 crore.

Made with minimal marketing and relying on organic word-of-mouth, “Mahavatar Narsimha” mirrors the success of Hombale Films’ earlier hit “Kantara”, recovering its budget within its opening weekend and now eyeing ₹150 crore nett in India and ₹200 crore gross worldwide.

The film’s culturally rooted storytelling, high-quality animation, and emotional depth have struck a chord with audiences.

One parent shared, “My kids love Hollywood animation, but ‘Mahavatar Narsimha’ brought them closer to our culture.

The trailer alone was a game-changer.” Hombale Films, known for blockbusters like “KGF”, “Kantara”, and “Salaar”, celebrated the milestone, stating, “‘Mahavatar Narsimha’ is a spiritual and cinematic triumph. Our vision is to tell Indian stories with global resonance.”

As “Mahavatar Narsimha” continues its triumphant run, it is rewriting the rules for Indian animation, proving that local productions can compete with mainstream Bollywood and international releases.

With future instalments like “Mahavatar Parshuram” (2027) and “Mahavatar Kalki” (2035–2037) in the pipeline, the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe is poised to redefine the genre.

Fans can catch “Mahavatar Narsimha” in theaters nationwide, where it continues to draw packed houses and set new benchmarks for Indian cinema.
