‘Mahavatar Narasimha’ rules the box office: Small-budget film breaks big records

While the star-studded film Saiyaara made headlines by crossing ₹300 crore against a ₹40 crore budget, an unassuming animated film has quietly staged a box office coup. Mahavatar Narasimha, released on July 25th without fanfare, has achieved what few Indian animated films have managed – becoming a commercial powerhouse.

New Delhi: The film 'Saiyaara,' which was released on 18th July, had created a buzz by earning more than 300 crores against a budget of 40 crores. But the animated film 'Mahavatar Narasimha,' which was released on 25th July, has rocked the box office in just three days without any big publicity or fanfare.

Despite its small budget (only 4 crore rupees), this film earned 1.75 crore on the first day, 4.6 crore on the second day, and 9.5 crore on the third day, taking the total to 15.93 crore (India) and 29.09 crore (worldwide). That is, by earning almost 7 times more than its budget, this film has joined the list of the most profitable films.

The credit for the success of this film goes to Hombale Films, a famous production company of the Kannada film industry, which has previously proved its ability by making blockbuster films like 'Kantara,' the 'KGF' series, and 'Salaar.'

This new animated film from Hombale Films has not only caught the attention of the Indian audience, but it has also proved that if the story and presentation are strong, then animated films can also make a splash at the box office.

The success of 'Mahavatara Narasimha' is also special because it was released without any big star or heavy marketing. Its popularity was entirely based on word of mouth and audience response on social media. This achievement of the film sets a new precedent for Indian cinema, where now even small-budget films can beat big-canvas films.

This film has also proved that Indian audiences are no longer limited to only star power or action-packed films, but they appreciate quality and entertaining content. This unexpected success of 'Mahavatara Narasimha' indicates that there is a huge market for animation and mythology-based films in Indian cinema, which has not been fully tapped yet.
