Mahavatar Narsimha, the animated mythological epic directed by Ashwin Kumar, is shattering norms at the Indian box office. In just 40 days, its Hindi version raked in approximately ₹184.39 crore, overtaking last year’s blockbuster Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. With that, it has now officially earned the title of the 50th biggest hit in the history of Hindi cinema.
Animated films have rarely made a dent in mainstream Bollywood—yet this one is rewriting expectations. Its success proves that a deeply rooted cultural narrative, delivered through high-quality animation and heartfelt storytelling, can truly resonate across generations.
Even more impressive? The film continues to hold strong in theaters, landing a spot among the top five grossers of 2025 and climbing rapidly on the all-time charts. Its sixth week remains robust, indicating that audiences are still flocking to see this visual spectacle on the big screen. Beyond the numbers, Mahavatar Narsimha is emerging as a game-changer for Indian animation, proving that myth and innovation can make a powerful combo at the ticket window.
