Ashwin Kumar’s Mahavatar narasimha is enjoying a phenomenal run at the box office. Even after nearly a month in theatres, the film shows no signs of slowing down. The underwhelming performance of War 2 has only worked in its favour, pushing its collections closer to the Rs. 250-crore mark across languages. The film’s success is not restricted to India, as it is performing strongly in overseas markets too, especially in the US.
The Telugu version has already collected $944K in North America, which is remarkable for a dubbed animated film. In comparison, Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR’s high-profile War 2 earned only $802K from its Telugu version. The contrast highlights just how well Mahavatar Narasimha is connecting with audiences.
A week ago, it seemed unlikely that War 2 would trail behind an animated film in the US. Yet Mahavatar Narasimha continues to surprise with steady growth week after week. If this trend continues, the Telugu dubbed version alone is poised to cross the $1 million milestone very soon.
In India, the film’s gross stands at around Rs. 230 crores. Overseas earnings are nearing $3 million, with $1.68 million contributed by North America alone. These numbers underline the film’s extraordinary reach and its ability to outperform even big-budget star-driven releases.
