Entertainment News: In 2025, this year, many films have performed well at the box office, but the biggest surprise film has been "Mahavatar Narasimha." It is an animated mythological action drama film directed by Ashwin Kumar. Initially no one had thought that the film would prove to be such a big hit, but it not only earned record-breaking numbers but has also made it to the list of the 2025 top 10 highest-grossing films.

The Hindi version breaks all records

The Hindi version of the film is running the most. It has earned Rs 112.80 crore in just 13 days, out of which 83.55 crore rupees have come only from the Hindi version. The film has left behind "Bhool Laqs Maaf" (which earned 72.73 crores), and now Sunny Deol's "Jat" (88.72 crores) is competing. If this trend continues, "Mahavatar Narasimha" may soon reach number 9 by beating "Jat."

Great two weeks of earning

The film initially earned a slow pace, but in the second weekend it saw a tremendous bounce. The data below shows how its earnings increased continuously:

• First Weekend (3 days): 11.4 crore
• First week (7 days): 32.45 crore
• Second Saturday-Sunday: 29 crores (in just 2 days!)
• Total 13 days in total: 112.80 crores

This clearly shows that word of mouth (recommendation of people) made the film a superhit.

India's most successful animated film

"Mahavatar Narasimha" has also made a record as the highest-grossing animated film in India. The total collection of Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada versions has been 112.8 crore so far. And the movie is still roaring on the big screens.

What are the challenges ahead?

Next week, 14 August, big movies such as "War 2" (Hrithik Roshan and Junior NTR) and "Coolie" (Rajinikanth) are scheduled to be released. Earlier, "Mahavatar Narasimha" has a chance of another weekend, where it can earn more. If this film continues to run at the same pace, it can also reach the top 5 hit films.

A milestone for the animation industry

"Mahavatar Narasimha" proved that Indian audiences are now also liking animated films. If the story is good and visuals are fantastic, then the animation can also rock the box office. The film has become a great source of entertainment not only for children but also for elders. Now it remains to be seen if it will be able to enter the 150 crore club!
