TL;DR:In just 72 hours, Mahavatar Narsimha has become the highest-grossing Hindi animation film ever, bringing in ₹11.1 to ₹11.35 crore in its opening weekend. It saw an astonishing 364‑400% jump from Friday to Sunday and even dethroned the 2005 classic Hanuman as Bollywood’s top animated hit. The film’s Hindi version is driving this success with over half a million tickets sold via BookMyShow!
Open with a Boom 💥
From a modest Friday debut of ~₹1.4 crore, Mahavatar Narsimha rocketed to ~₹6.5–7 crore by Sunday, showcasing a 364%–400% surge in earnings! That puts its total Hindi box office around ₹11.1–11.35 crore in just three days.
Why This Matters: History Made
The previous record holder, Hanuman (2005), had netted ~₹5.38 crore in its lifetime. That means Mahavatar Narsimha has more than doubled that in just one weekend — making it officially the biggest Bollywood animated hit after 20 years.
Show Count Rises—Audience Demands More 🎟️
Responding to roaring demand, theatres ramped up shows from 800 on Friday, to 1,100 on Saturday, and soared to 2,000 on Sunday—fueling the box-office rise.
Hindi Leads the Charge, Regional Versions Chime In
While the Hindi version is the star—earning ₹6.5–7 crore Sunday alone—regional versions (Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam) together added several crores to the total.
Ticket Sales Skyrocket ✨
BookMyShow numbers confirm over 586,000 tickets sold in India during the weekend. That includes 87K on Friday, 209K on Saturday, and a whopping 233K on Sunday alone—up 166% from Friday.
Why Youth Love It 💯
Mythological storytelling meets next‑level VFX and animation—giving Indian youth a visual spectacle rooted in familiar legends.
It's the first instalment of a mega Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, with planned releases on Parshuram, Raghunandan, Kalki and more stretching into 2037.
MediaFx Perspective (From the People’s View)
This isn't just another movie—it’s a cultural milestone 🌾. From the streets of rural Andhra-Telangana to the city multiplexes, ordinary working folks are flocking to see a film that celebrates our shared mythology with style and substance. When Indian studios put in effort and respect our heritage, ticket sales show—they can punch above global content. We loved seeing a mass‑appeal mythological animation succeed, not just for profit but for cultural pride.
