Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office Collection Day 5: Ashwin Kumar’s Film Becomes Highest-Grossing Animated Movie in India

Ashwin Kumar’s animated mythological drama Mahavatar Narsimha is rewriting box office history. On its fifth day, the film officially surpassed the lifetime collection of Hanuman (2005), becoming the highest-grossing Indian animated film of all time.

Produced by Kleem Productions, Mahavatar Narsimha earned an impressive ₹7.41 crore net on Day 5 (Tuesday), taking its total 5-day net collection to ₹29.47 crore. The gross figure stands at ₹34.50 crore, according to data from Sacnilk.

VG Samant's Hanuman, which previously held the record, had collected ₹7.68 crore during its entire theatrical run. In contrast, Mahavatar Narsimha managed to cross that benchmark within a week.

Record-Breaking Occupancy and Language Reach

The film recorded a 23.5% jump in collections on Tuesday compared to Monday. It reported 40.35% occupancy in Telugu and 47.61% in Hindi screenings. The pan-India release is available in 2D and 3D formats across multiple languages including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh praised the film's momentum on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “The Tuesday numbers are HIGHER than Friday, Saturday, and Monday – exceptional trending. Discounted ticket pricing has clearly worked in its favor.”

Box Office Highlights – Mahavatar Narsimha:

• Opening Day (July 25): ₹1.75 Cr net
• Weekend Total (Sat–Sun): ₹14.1 Cr net
• Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹7.41 Cr net
• 5-Day Total: ₹29.47 Cr net / ₹34.50 Cr gross

Made on a modest budget of ₹15 crore, the animated epic has already doubled its investment in just five days.

Challenges Ahead

Despite facing competition from upcoming releases Son of Sardar 2 and Dhadak 2 this Friday, Mahavatar Narsimha is expected to maintain its strong hold at the box office, especially in the Hindi and Telugu belts.
