400% Box Office Jump: A Rare Phenomenon in Hindi Animation

The movie opened with Rs 1.35 crore on Friday. Positive word-of-mouth and increasing public interest boosted collections to Rs 3.25 crore on Saturday. On Sunday, the earnings jumped again to Rs 6.65–Rs 7 crore. These numbers brought the total to Rs 11.25 crore for the opening weekend in Hindi. This 400% growth in just three days marks a rare and exceptional trend for any theatrical release, especially in Indian animation.

Hindi Audience Embraces Animated Mythology After Hanuman

Director Ashwin Kumar retells the legendary story of Lord Vishnu’s Narasimha avatar through powerful visuals and storytelling. The film’s strong mythological theme and quality animation attracted both families and children, who usually prefer international animated content. With this response, Mahavatar Narsimha became the first Hindi animated film since Hanuman (2005) to strongly connect with viewers. Industry experts even believe this film may outperform Hanuman, which only managed to achieve semi-hit status.

More Shows, Bigger Response

Theatres across the Hindi market expanded the film’s screening schedule due to high demand. They increased show counts from 800 on Friday to 1,100 on Saturday, and then to 2,000 on Sunday. With growing buzz, early estimates suggest Monday’s collections will go beyond Friday’s numbers. In just three days, the film secured HIT status. If this trend continues, it could reach SUPER-HIT or even BLOCKBUSTER status in the upcoming weeks.
