Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar and produced by Hombale Films, after a super strong first day where it netted Rs 1.40 crore in Hindi, showed astronomical 140-150 percent growth on day 2.
With Rs 3.20 crore net on day 2, the movie did not just grow in Hindi but all the other languages that it was playing in, as well.
On Sunday, Mahavatar Narsimha was expected to register its biggest single day. Film collected 6.50 crore net on day 3 Sunday. The day 3 collections were 110% higher than day 2 and 400% higher than day 1. Film has 3 – day total of 11.10 crore net.
Mahavatar Narsimha Grows On Tuesday
As expected with the trend, film collected 3.60 crore net on day 4 Monday which was higher than Friday and Saturday. This was always on the cards with the weekend trend and now film is certain to be in cinemas for couple of more weeks. Boosted with discounted rates, film collected 5 crore on day 5 Tuesday.
Film has 5 – day total of 20.05 crore net and its heading for 27 – 28 crore net week one.
In today’s day and age, if a film gets the approval of the audience, it trends spectacularly. We saw it last week with Saiyaara, which is putting up identical collections as its first weekend, in its second, and then there of course was Chhaava, which really showed the potential of a well-received religion-based historical epic. Film is aided by bulk bookings by religious organisations.

Mahavatar Narsimha Is Acting As A Living Proof That Animated Movies Can Work At The Box Office
The biggest takeaway from Mahavatar Narsimha‘s run is the acceptance of the audience to watch animated content. Animated films are usually seen as films for children but this movie looks to break that myth. Hopefully, with the success of this movie, there will be an influx of more animated films. Hombale Films itself has a slate of 6 animated films from the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, that shall release in the next decade or so.
Animated Films Should Get Mainstream Attention In India
Hollywood’s animated films have always got mainstream attention in their home markets, and now China’s highest grossing film is also an animated film, Ne Zha 2. Japan has always had a bigger market for animes than the conventional films. It’s about time that Indian audiences also jump onto this bandwagon so that there can be more individual voices to tell stories using the animated medium. One doesn’t necessarily have to rely upon a hero, to make and sell their films. The story shall do the talking.
