The animated mythological action film Mahavatar Narsimha has taken the Indian film industry by surprise, delivering a phenomenal performance at the box office. Released last Friday, the film has earned Rs 21.85 crore in just four days, thanks to a wave of positive word of mouth and a growing spiritual buzz among audiences nationwide.
A Divine Response from the Audience
The makers of Mahavatar Narsimha took to social media on Tuesday to express their heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming response. In a note posted on X (formerly Twitter), the team shared, “We are humbled and overwhelmed by the divine response to Mahavatar Narsimha. What began as a cinematic dream has now become a spiritual movement across the country.”
The note further described how theatres have transformed into places of worship, with audiences engaging in kirtans and aartis during screenings. The makers added, “This film was never just a movie; it was a vision to rekindle faith and celebrate our rich spiritual heritage.”
Faith Meets Cinema: A Cultural Phenomenon
The impact of Mahavatar Narsimha goes far beyond traditional box office success. With viewers from all walks of life uniting in devotion, the film has become a celebration of dharma and Indic tradition. “When cinema becomes a celebration of faith… #MahavatarNarsimha has united hearts across Bharat through the power of Dharma,” the makers wrote.
They also thanked fans, media, and influencers for embracing the film, adding that the incredible reception proves Bharat is ready for stories rooted in the shastras. “This is just the beginning,” the note concluded, “and with your blessings, we will continue to bring such powerful stories to life.”
Box Office Milestone: Highest-Grossing Indian Animated Film
Directed by Ashwin Kumar and presented by Hombale Films, Mahavatar Narsimha is produced by Shilpaa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai. With a reported budget of Rs 20 crore, the film has already become a massive commercial success.
It has now earned the title of the highest-grossing Indian animated film of all time, surpassing the benchmark set by Hanuman (2005). The film’s success marks a new era for Indian animation and reaffirms the growing appetite for spiritually resonant, culturally rooted storytelling.
As momentum continues to build, Mahavatar Narsimha stands as a landmark achievement—where animation, mythology, and devotion converge in a cinematic celebration.
