Mahavatara Narasimha: The Animated Film Taking Indian Cinema by Storm
Mahavatara Narasimha, a Kannada animated film, has turned into a surprise blockbuster, crossing ₹200 crore at the box office and eyeing ₹300 crore despite competition from Coolie and War 2.
Mahavatara Narasimha continues its dream run at the box office, emerging as one of the biggest surprise hits in Indian cinema.
What began as a low-profile release has now turned into one of the biggest success stories in Indian cinema. Mahavatara Narasimha, a Kannada animated film, has emerged as the biggest surprise hit in recent years, shattering expectations and dominating the box office.
Released without heavy promotions, the film grew purely on word-of-mouth publicity, pulling audiences across the country. Even as many star-studded films struggle to sustain beyond two weeks, Mahavatara Narasimha is still going strong in its fourth week of release.
This weekend saw major releases like War 2 and Rajinikanth’s Coolie. Initially, screenings of Mahavatara Narasimha were reduced to accommodate these blockbusters. However, with both films receiving mixed reviews, exhibitors are once again turning back to the animated wonder.
On Saturday, nearly all shows in Hyderabad were marked as fast filling or sold out, an extraordinary feat for a small-budget film in its fourth week. The movie has already crossed the ₹200 crore mark at the worldwide box office, and industry trackers now believe the ₹300 crore milestone is well within reach.
For an animated, dubbed film with minimal publicity to generate this kind of response is nothing short of remarkable. Mahavatara Narasimha has proven that strong storytelling and audience support can turn even the most unexpected release into a historic blockbuster.
