TL;DR: Mahavatar Narsimha, the new Indian animated epic, hit cinemas on July 25, 2025 and surprised everyone with a ₹2.1–2.29 crore gross opening day total across all language versions. The Hindi version led with around ₹1.3–1.6 crore gross (₹1.3 cr net), Telugu added ₹0.35 cr net, and other versions made up the rest. Advance bookings for Day 2 are stellar, suggesting strong word-of-mouth and a promising weekend ahead.
🎥 Opening Day Breakdown
Total India Gross: ₹2.0–2.1 crore (approx) across all formats including 3D charges
Hindi version: ₹1.50–1.60 crore gross, ≈ ₹1.3 crore net — the strongest performer
Telugu version: ₹40 lakh gross (≈ ₹35 lakh net)
Other regional versions (Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam): ₹10 lakh each approx
Worldwide total gross is estimated at ₹2.10 crore, with India net approx ₹1.75 crore. Overseas tally still negligible.
🚀 Advance Booking & Early Buzz
Reports show Day 2 bookings are intense — the film is selling about 12,000 tickets per hour on BookMyShow, which is nearly double compared to the Pawan Kalyan mega‑hit Hari Hara Veera Mallu! That’s a strong signal of positive word-of-mouth and audience pull for this animated mythological saga.
📊 How It Stacks Up in India’s Animation Landscape
Compared to Bollywood or Hollywood animated giants, the ₹2 crore opening is modest. But for Indian animation, this is a solid milestone:
Hollywood hits like Spider‑Man: Across the Spider‐Verse grossed ₹56 cr in India; Inside Out 2 earned ₹35.5 cr
Indian animated attempts like Return of Hanuman or Chhota Bheem: Throne of Bali opened below ₹7 cr total.So Mahavatar Narsimha’s Day 1 is a respectable step toward building an animation benchmark here.
🗣️ Social Reaction
Twitter and early audience reviews praise the visuals, animation quality, and faithful mythological storytelling. One review said the film followed Bhagavata Purana factually with stunning Narsimha-Vishnu animation. Another called it a spiritual artwork worth supporting.
✅ What This Means
Metric | Estimate |
Opening Day India Gross | ₹2.1–2.3 crore |
India Net Collection | ₹1.75–2.01 crore |
Hindi Net | ₹1.3 crore |
Telugu Net | ₹0.35 crore |
Others (Kannada/Tamil etc) | ~₹0.1 crore |
Strong Hindi belt pull, decent regional reach, and explosive early interest suggest a good opening weekend ahead.
✊ MediaFx People’s Perspective
From the common people’s viewpoint, this animated mythological venture by Hombale and Kleem shows promise of balancing cultural pride with creative industry growth. Despite the dominance of big studios, Mahavatar Narsimha’s decent opening day proves that quality storytelling grounded in heritage can resonate without huge budgets. It’s a hopeful sign that Indian animation can grow beyond children’s content and become a mass medium celebrating collective history. Let’s hope ticket prices remain affordable so working‑class families across regions also get to enjoy this divine tale.
🔮 What’s Next?
Expect Day 2 and weekend numbers to set the tone — if the advance holds, this could become India’s poster child for animated mythological films.
Word-of-mouth across Telugu states and Hindi belt must stay strong.
Regional versions might build slowly — with dubbed voice cast and local promotions, Telugu and Kannada uptake could rise.
Bottom line: Mahavatar Narsimha’s ₹2.1–2.3 crore gross on Day 1 is a welcome shock for Indian animation. It may not shatter Bollywood records, but it's a strong start for a film rooted in myth and made for the people. ✊
Let’s see if it rides this wave and proves that India’s animation studios can stand tall!
