Mahavatar Narsimha Movie Review
Steady growth across languages; Hindi version dominates the numbers
According to the Sacnilk website, while 'Mahavatar Narsimha' opened to a modest Rs 1.35 crore in Hindi on Day 1, the version showed rapid momentum, pulling in a strong Rs 67.45 crore over ten days. Day 10 alone saw Hindi collections jump to Rs 18 crore. This marks it as the film’s highest single-day collection.
The Telugu version collected Rs 20.37 crore overall. Kannada and Tamil versions contributed Rs 2.33 crore and Rs 1.06 crore respectively. The Malayalam version, though limited in reach, still added Rs 24 lakhs.
In total, the India net collection stands at Rs 83 crore, with Rs 91.45 crore grossed globally. This shows the film’s slow but consistent build through word-of-mouth and regional reach.
Timeless myth meets modern medium
What sets 'Mahavatar Narsimha' apart is its blend of faith, storytelling, and animation. Audiences are finding emotional connection in Prahlad’s steadfast belief and the eventual divine justice delivered by Narsimha.
The film received much love from the audiences. One Twitter user wrote, "Indian animation has often struggled to break out of its cartoonish image, but the animation in Mahavatar Narsimha is impressive despite the film's modest budget." Another one wrote, "The visuals, the sound, the divine intensity...it felt like a spiritual calling wrapped in cinematic brilliance. It reminded me of the raw power of faith, protection, and inner strength. #MahavatarNarsimha #cinema."
We need more such animated films, especially for children, where they can not only enjoy the visuals but also connect with timeless devotional stories rooted in our cultural heritage.
As it enters its second week, Mahavatar Narsimha is not just a box office surprise, it’s turning out to be a mythological milestone in Indian animation.
