Ashwin Kumar’s animated mythological film Mahavatar Narasimha has surprised everyone at the box office. In just 32 days, the Hindi version of the film collected ₹176.25 crore net, crossing the lifetime earnings of Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif’s 2014 blockbuster Bang Bang, which made ₹174.51 crore. With this, the film is now the 53rd highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.

The movie tells the story of Hiranyakashyap, Prahlad, and Lord Vishnu’s Narasimha avatar. Even though it faced strong competition from big-budget films like War 2, Coolie, and Saiyaara, it has managed to hold its ground. The film’s success shows that audiences still enjoy mythological storytelling, even in animated form.
The Hindi version opened strongly with ₹32.45 crore in its first week. The big turning point came during the second weekend, when collections jumped to ₹54.95 crore. Word-of-mouth support kept the film going strong. In the third week, it collected another ₹53.75 crore, proving its solid run.
