Box Office: Mahavatar Narsimha surprises on day one in Hindi; Animated film nets Rs 1.10 crore
Mahavatar Narsimha Has Opened Well In Hindi Despite Strong Holdover Competition
Mahavatar Narsimha is obviously doing well in its home market, but for it to make in-grounds in Hindi with minimal promotions, and purely on the basis of the film's units is commendable. One must not forget that a blockbuster movie like Saiyaara is already retaining the lion share of screens and then there also is the Hollywood biggie The Fantastic Four: First Steps, with its share of premium screens.
The Day Wise Hindi Net India Collections Of Mahavatar Narsimha Are As Under
If Mahavatar Narsimha's Weekend Momentum Transcends Into The Weekdays, A Major Success Is On The Cards For Hombale Films
The advance bookings for the movie are very strong and so is the initial reception. If the momentum of the movie transcends to the weekdays, a theatrical hit shall be in contention; a rarity in today's time. It is even more rare for an animated movie to emerge a hit in India because animated films are seen as something just for the kids, by most. The highest grossing animated movie in India has a net lifetime total of under Rs 50 crore. The twin Lion King movies have not been considered because they look and feel like live-action films.
On the other hand, the same animated movies wreck the box office in US/Canada with a few of them going on to even hit USD 600 million; something that only a handful of movies have really been able to manage. Recently, even China showed the potential of an appreciated animated flick. Ne Zha 2 grossed around 2 billion dollars in just the Middle Kingdom, proving that the 'taboo' is only in India.
Can Mahavatar Narsimha Make Animation Be Seen As A Serious Business In India?
One would hope that films like Mahavatar Narsimha make animation be looked at as a serious business in India. If this movie manages to breakout, the potential of the Mahavatar Universe will increase many folds.

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 3: Shazia Iqbal's Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri-starrer Dhadak 2 released in theatres last Friday. Expectations were high from the remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal, and the film managed to open to mostly positive reviews. Dhadak 2 is a spiritual sequel to the 2018 Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Dhadak. As per Sacnilk, the film has now crossed the ₹10 crore mark. (Also read: Son of Sardaar 2 vs Dhadak 2 box office clash: Can Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri romance spoil Ajay Devgn's party?) Dhadak 2 box office collection day 3: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in a still from the film. Dhadak 2 box office update The latest update on Sacnilk states that Dhadak 2 collected ₹ 3.77 crore on its third day of release. The film had collected ₹ 3.5 crore on its opening day, and showed little growth on its second day of release, collecting ₹ 3.75 crore. The overall collection now stands at ₹ 11.02 crore. Dhadak 2 is facing stiff competition at the box office from several releases—Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2, the animation film Mahavatar Narsimha, Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's Saiyaara, and Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom. Saiyaara, now in its third week of release, collected more than Dhadak 2 on Sunday, with ₹8 crore. Saiyaara has now crossed the ₹300 crore mark in India and emerged as a blockbuster. About Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2 tells the tale of a law student who falls for his classmate, only for her family to harass him due to caste differences. Talking about the film's sensitive message, Triptii told PTI, 'It should reach the maximum audience because it's entertaining and also leaves a little note, so that is something which we are constantly looking for. We found that equilibrium... There is something real and sensitive about it ('Dhadak 2'). All of these guys have more responsibility, and they are very well aware of that. That's why they have been very quiet about everything, like while we were shooting for the film, even the censor board issues, we never spoke about anything.'

Tamannaah Bhatia finally breaks silence over dating Virat Kohli and Abdul Razzaq, reveals stunning truth, says...
Actress Tamannaah Bhatia has been in the headlines for a while now. The actress has an impressive career, having performed in multiple languages — be it Hindi, Telugu, or Tamil, she has won hearts everywhere. Recently, Tamannaah got candid during a chat show, The Lallantop, and finally, after much anticipation, opened up about the persistent rumors romantically linking her to two cricket stars — Virat Kohli and Abdul Razzaq. Tamannaah Bhatia Opens Up About Dating Rumors With Virat Kohli and Abdul Razzaq Setting the record straight regarding the rumors of her dating cricketer Virat Kohli, Tamannaah Bhatia said, 'I feel so bad because I literally met him for only one day.' She further added, 'I have never met Virat after the shoot. Na maine unse baat ki, na unse mili hoon.' The story about Tamannaah's dating rumors with Virat goes back to 2010, when a picture of the duo from a commercial shoot went viral, sparking relentless speculation about the two being together. Adding to the buzz, another wild internet rumor suggested that she had secretly tied the knot with former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq, sparked by a photo of them browsing jewelry together. 'Mazaak mazaak mein Abdul Razzaq! The internet is a fun place,' she chuckled. 'Yaa, according to the internet, I was briefly married to Abdul Razzaq.' Turning towards the camera, she folded her hands and said, 'I'm sorry sir, aapke do-teen bachhe hain… I don't know what your life is!' Calling it 'so embarrassing,' Tamannaah clarified that the viral photo was simply from the inauguration of a jewelry store they both happened to attend by coincidence. Talking about disadvantages of fame, Tamannaah admitted, 'It's very awkward. Jab koi bhi taalluq nahi hota hai aur log bana dete hain. But there is nothing you can do. Waqt lagta hai, you come to accept that aap iske baare mein kuch kar nahi sakte. Jisko jaisa sochna hai, wo waisa hi sochega. Aap sabko baith ke control nahi kar sakte.'
