India’s homegrown animated epic Mahavatar Narsimha has taken the box office by storm, shattering records to become the country’s highest-grossing animated film of all time. On its 11th day in theatres, the mythological spectacle has officially crossed the Rs 100 crore mark, a rare feat for an animated movie in India.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Rajat Ojha and produced by Green Gold Studios, Mahavatar Narsimha retells the legend of Lord Vishnu’s fourth avatar, blending stunning animation with an emotionally rich narrative. The film has not only won praise for its storytelling and visuals but also for making mythology accessible and engaging for a younger generation.
₹100 Crore Club Entry
On Day 11, Mahavatar Narsimha collected an impressive ₹7.8 crore across all languages, pushing its total domestic collection to ₹102.4 crore. The film has maintained strong occupancy in metros and tier-2 cities alike, especially in Hindi and Telugu-speaking regions. Family audiences, school screenings, and strong word-of-mouth have all contributed to the film’s box office momentum.

Record-Breaking Run
With this milestone, Mahavatar Narsimha has overtaken previous animated hits like Hanuman (2005) and Chhota Bheem: Kung Fu Dhamaka (2019), becoming the highest-grossing Indian animated film ever. Notably, the film is also performing well overseas, especially in the U.S., Canada, and the Middle East, where the Indian diaspora has embraced the culturally rooted tale.
Critical and Commercial Hit
Critics have lauded the film for its cinematic quality and emotional depth. The voice performances by actors such as Prakash Raj (as Hiranyakashipu) and Sai Kumar (as Lord Narsimha) have received special mentions, as has the film’s original score composed by Devi Sri Prasad.
What’s Next?
With no major animated releases in the coming weeks, Mahavatar Narsimha is expected to enjoy a longer theatrical run and could aim for the ₹150 crore mark. Talks of sequels and international dubs are already underway, with merchandise and educational tie-ins helping expand the franchise’s reach.
As Indian animation takes a historic leap forward, Mahavatar Narsimha has proven that with the right blend of mythology, emotion, and visual brilliance, animated films can roar just as loud at the box office as live-action blockbusters.
