Mahavatar Narsimha Rewrites History: India’s Biggest Animated Blockbuster is Here!, Mahavatar Narsimha, the mythological animated epic directed by Ashwin Kumar, has taken the Indian box office by storm, emerging as the highest-grossing animated film in the country. Released on July 25 and presented by the powerhouse Hombale Films, the film is not only breaking records but also reshaping the future of Indian animation.
This multi-language mythological drama is captivating audiences across the nation and delivering fierce competition to current big-screen giants like Saiyaara and Son of Sardaar 2. With the launch of the ambitious Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, following the legacy of Kantara, KGF, and Salaar, Mahavatar Narsimha is a bold statement on the power of Indian mythology, animation, and cinematic world-building.

Makes History, Outshines Global Animated Hits at Indian Box Office!
Mahavatar Narsimha has officially entered the history books, crossing a staggering ₹105 crore GBOC in India, according to its makers — making it the highest-grossing animated film in Indian cinema history. What’s even more remarkable is that Mahavatar Narsimha has outperformed global animated blockbusters like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Kung Fu Panda at the Indian box office, a milestone rarely achieved by a homegrown animated film.
Released in both 2D and 3D formats and dubbed in five languages — Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi — the film has seen massive success, especially in its Telugu 3D version, which boasts a phenomenal 88.94% occupancy rate, followed closely by the Hindi 3D version at 68.30%. With its mythological depth and visual spectacle, Mahavatar Narsimha is proving that Indian animation can compete — and win — on a global scale.

Box Office Journey: From Modest Start to Monumental Success
Mahavatar Narsimha has had a phenomenal box office journey, turning a modest opening into a record-breaking run. The film’s Hindi version started with a humble ₹1.35 crore on Day 1, but thanks to strong word-of-mouth, a family-friendly narrative, and pan-India appeal, its momentum surged rapidly. By the end of Week 1, Mahavatar Narsimha had earned a solid ₹32.45 crore, and just 10 days into its release, the total soared to over ₹67.95 crore. Crossing the ₹50 crore mark in just 8 days, Mahavatar Narsimha continues to dominate the box office with strong weekday holds and weekend jumps, solidifying its place as India’s most successful animated film to date.
