'Mahavatar Narsimha' box office collections day 8: Ashwin Ku ..

Animation isn’t just meant for kids—because if the story is powerful enough, it can move mountains, and anyone can watch it, no matter the age. Ashwin Kumar’s Mahavatar Narsimha is living proof of that. Fully animated yet deeply rooted in faith and rich storytelling, the film isn't just good—it’s extraordinary. Built on the foundation of Indian mythology, it carries a weight and energy that’s rare to find. No one really saw it coming—an animated film based on mythology becoming the centre of conversation? But it did. And honestly, it deserves every bit of that spotlight. And what’s even more surprising? The numbers. Despite a slow-ish start, Mahavatar Narsimha just kept picking up—thanks to word-of-mouth and pure audience love. From ₹1.75 crore on Day 1 to over ₹44 crore in just over a week, that’s no small feat, especially for an Indian animated film. And it didn’t just cross Hanuman’s record—it left it behind.

People are watching it in Hindi, in regional languages, in theatres, with their families. And not just watching—they’re feeling it. The kind of tweets and reactions pouring in? You can tell it’s struck a chord. From the fierce form of Lord Narasimha to the raw devotion of Prahlad, every frame seems to echo something ancient and powerful. This isn’t just animation—it’s faith coming alive on screen.

And maybe, just maybe, this is the beginning of a new phase for Indian animation. One where it’s not just cute animals and kiddie jokes—but stories of gods, courage, and culture told in a way that hits home.
