Ashwin Kumar’s mythological animated film Mahavatar Narsimha has achieved a remarkable box office milestone by becoming the 8th highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025. In just 16 days, the movie has earned over ₹107 crore in India, beating the lifetime collections of notable films like Sunny Deol’s Jaat (₹88.26 crore) and Akshay Kumar’s Kesari 2 (₹92.73 crore).
The animated epic, which retells the story of Lord Narsimha, started modestly with ₹1.35 crore on its opening day. However, strong word-of-mouth and positive audience reviews propelled its collections rapidly. The film’s Hindi version alone collected ₹32.45 crore in the first week, contributing significantly to the overall ₹44.75 crore earned across all languages.
The second weekend turned out to be a turning point, with a surge in daily collections—₹5.5 crore on Day 8, ₹11.5 crore on Day 9, and ₹17.5 crore on Day 10—driving the Hindi collection past ₹87 crore by the second week. Despite a dip on the third Friday, the film rebounded strongly on Saturday (Day 16), earning an estimated ₹15 crore, pushing its total Hindi net collection beyond ₹100 crore.
With a budget of around ₹15 crore, Mahavatar Narsimha has become not only India’s first Hindi animated film to enter the ₹100 crore club but also a massive commercial success with about 7 times return on investment. The film’s impressive box office run marks a breakthrough for Indian animation, a genre that has traditionally struggled to find mass audiences domestically.
