Mahavatar Narasimha Streaming Guide: Expected OTT Platform and Box Office Milestones
Mahavatar Narasimha, Ashwin Kumar’s animated mythological epic, is gearing up for its digital debut after creating history at the box office. The film, which explores the spiritual journey of Lord Narasimha, has emerged as the highest-grossing animated Indian film of all time, a feat rarely seen in the genre.
OTT Release Expectations
While the official digital release date remains unconfirmed, film trade analyst Rohit Jaiswal has indicated a strong possibility that the Hindi version of the film will stream on JioHotstar. This speculation stems from the platform’s prior collaborations with the film’s production house, which previously brought Hindi-dubbed hits like Salaar and Raajakumara to its viewers.
Regional versions—including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada—are expected to land on separate platforms depending on local licensing and distribution agreements, ensuring the film reaches audiences across India.
Box Office Performance 🚀
Produced by Kleem Productions on a modest budget of ₹15 crore, Mahavatar Narasimha had a strong theatrical debut on July 25 with an opening of ₹1.75 crore net. The film’s popularity skyrocketed in its second weekend, driving collections to a remarkable ₹91.25 crore net in India over 10 days.
On Day 10 alone, the film recorded ₹23.4 crore net, a 51.95% jump in earnings. Its worldwide gross has now touched ₹112 crore, establishing it as a monumental success for Indian animation.
Film trade expert Sumit Kadel summed up the frenzy in a viral post on X:
“#MahavatarNarsimha Movement is UNSTOPPABLE. CRAZY. INSANE. UNPRECEDENTED. Hindi Weekend 2 – ₹35 Cr Nett. Total so far: ₹68 Cr Nett. Lifetime now headed towards ₹100 Cr+. ALL-VERSION ₹100 Cr mark to be crossed TODAY itself!”
Why This Film Matters 🌏
The success of Mahavatar Narasimha is more than just numbers. It represents a turning point for India’s animation industry, which has often struggled to compete with live-action spectacles. With audiences flocking to theatres in record numbers, the film has proven that Indian mythological stories, when paired with cutting-edge animation, can rival global blockbusters.
Fans now eagerly await confirmation of the OTT release date, which is expected to be announced soon.
