Box office: 'Mahavatar Narsimha' becomes highest-grossing Indian animated film
Mahavatar Narsimha, a mythological action drama directed by Ashwin Kumar, just made history by becoming the highest-grossing Indian animated movie ever.
Released in multiple languages, it pulled in over ₹250 crore at the box office in only 53 days—holding strong against competition from big titles like Saiyaara and War 2.
This is a huge moment for Indian animation.
Film's earnings and future installments
Most of the earnings came from the Hindi version (₹187.53 crore), with Telugu (₹49.14 crore) and Kannada (₹9.87 crore) also adding to its total.
Even after nearly two months, it kept drawing crowds, hitting that ₹250 crore milestone on day 53.
Mahavatar Narsimha is just the start—it's part of a planned seven-film Mahavatar Universe that will explore more avatars of Lord Vishnu, raising expectations for what's next in Indian animation.
