Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office Collection Day 19: Ashwin Kumar's movie inches closer to ₹180 crore domestically
The Ashwin Kumar directorial, which saw a rather dud opening at the box office, has witnessed a spectacular growth in three weeks, setting new benchmarks for Indian animation.
The Sandalwood film, portraying powerful tales of Lord Vishnu's third and fourth avatars, has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian animated movie.
Hombale Films co-founder, Chaluve Gowda, in an interview with Hindustan Times, said, 'When we get this kind of reception, it proves that Indian films have an audience. And even for Disney movies, the artists are all Indians.'
'Yes, we had the resources. The technology was there, but someone just had to take that risk and prove that in India, Indian animation movies will also work,' he added.
Mahavatar Narsimha was released in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam in 2D and 3D formats.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Mahavatar Narsimha hit a slowdown as it entered its third work week, from a 77.66% fall in earnings on Monday, to minting just ₹ 1.92 crore on Tuesday.
However, Mahavatar Narsimha's 19-day total stands at an impressive ₹ 176.83 crore, which is very near to the ₹ 180 crore milestone.
If the movie is able to maintain its momentum, it will likely reach the milestone by tomorrow, Wednesday.
Notably, Mahavatar Narsimha's Tuesday earnings are only an early estimate. The number will be revised after taking the evening and night shows in account.
Mahavatar Narsimha has also done wonders at the global box office.
The Kannada movie did a worldwide business of ₹ 221.25 crore gross in 18 days, grossing ₹ 13.1 crore from the overseas market.
Mahavatar Narsimha's India gross stands at ₹ 208.15 crore.
Chaluve Gowda told LiveMint that the second instalment of the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe will likely be released by 2027.
'The next chapter will certainly come faster. Ashwin Kumar is already deep in development, and I can assure fans that Chapter Two will be coming within two years,' he said.

Lisa Mishra To Make Debut Performance At Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2025
Lisa Mishra will debut at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne in 2025. Known for her soulful voice, she is excited to perform, celebrating Indian cinema and culture globally. Singer and actress Lisa Mishra will make her debut on the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) stage this year, joining an impressive lineup of talent at one of the most prominent celebrations of Indian cinema and culture held outside India. The 2025 edition of the festival will run from August 14 to 24 in Melbourne, Australia. Known for her soulful voice and contemporary musical style, Mishra will perform at IFFM for the first time. The festival, widely recognised as the largest Indian film event outside the country, brings together not only cinema but also live music, art, and cultural showcases for a global audience. Sharing her enthusiasm, Mishra said, 'I'm truly honoured to be performing at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne this year. It's my first time on the IFFM stage, and I can't wait to share my music with such a vibrant and diverse audience. IFFM isn't just a film festival, it's a celebration of Indian art and culture on a global platform." Lisa added, 'To be a part of that energy, especially in a city like Melbourne that embraces creativity with open arms, is something I'm genuinely looking forward to. This opportunity is very special to me." Lisa Mishra is an American singer, songwriter, and actor, widely recognised for her reprise version of Tareefan in the 2018 Bollywood film Veere Di Wedding. Mishra has built a strong following through both her playback singing and independent music projects. Following the song's success, she lent her voice to tracks such as The Wakhra Song from Judgementall Hai Kya (2019), Nadaaniyaan from The Sky Is Pink, and the hit party number Chandigarh Mein from Good Newwz. In 2024, Mishra made her acting debut in the series Call Me Bae, produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. In 2017, Lisa Mishra collaborated with Jamila Woods to create the theme song for the Emmy-nominated web series Brown Girls. On 19 May 2018, she shared a mashup of the Hindi song Tareefan and Let Me Love You on her Instagram, which caught the attention of actress Sonam Kapoor Ahuja. This led to Mishra being invited to India, where she recorded and shot the reprise version of Tareefan for Veere Di Wedding, alongside the film's cast. In 2019, Mishra signed with VYRL Originals, part of Universal Music India, for her non-film music projects. That same year, she teamed up with composer-singer Vishal Mishra to release the single Sajna Ve. She also collaborated with Goa-based producer and DJ Anish Sood on the uptempo dance/house track Running Back To You, released in February 2020. Mishra's debut album, Sorry, I'm Late, released in May 2024. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Amaal Mallik was 15 when his ‘defeated' father told him to start earning for family: ‘Iske aage gaadi nahi chalegi meri'
Music composer Amaal Mallik is known for his unfiltered opinions on the way the music industry works today. He's had beef with the likes of T-Series top honcho Bhushan Kumar. But his father, Daboo Malik, also a composer, feels Amaal's forthright streak stems from the fact that he's a self-made man who has also been the family's sole breadwinner for the longest time. 'He's the first elder son to whom the father comes and says, 'Beta, main haar gaya (Son, I've lost)'. Which father does that to his 15-year-old innocent child? Daboo Malik comes home, hugs Amaal, and says, 'Iske aage gaadi chalegi nahi meri. Tu kuchh karega kya? (I can't work beyond this. Will you do something)?' revealed Daboo. In the interview with Vickey Lalwani, he continued, 'He's seen his father fall and lose from when he was 10 to 15 years old. There was a strong emotional upheaval. But nobody sees that. Everybody sees his outburst and critical ways, but that's his character now. He's taken that decision.' Amaal started working at the age of 16, immediately after completing his class 10. 'It's miraculous how Amaal did 2,000 to 3,000 jingles, worked with such big people as a programmer and arranger, he saw exponential technical growth. Armaan (Malik, singer and Amaal's younger brother) was just 10 then,' said Daboo, adding that Amaal helped drastically improve the deteriorating financial situation at home. 'A son like that, who feels he's earned everything with his blood and sweat, suddenly realizes he's getting sidelined and isn't the hero of this household anymore. That his younger brother was becoming the hero instead would have a mental impact on Amaal every day. I think that's a small mistake on part of the parents. But no one was doing it intentionally. We've to be very careful parents,' added Daboo. Amaal started learning music at the age of eight. He learnt piano at the Trinity College of Music, London, specializing in Western Classical, Jazz & Rock. He also learnt Indian classical music informally from his grandfather Sardar Malik. He began working as an assistant composer and background scorer in the Hindi film industry and the advertisement industry. He made his debut as the lead composer in Sohail Khan's 2014 action film Jai Ho. Also Read — Sexual assault allegations against Anu Malik 'shattered our family', says brother Daboo: 'We saw to it that he got back to work' Amaal's younger brother Armaan Malik started singing at the age of four. He started singing in films in 2006 with songs like Bum Bum Bhole from Aamir Khan's 2007 directorial debut Taare Zameen Par. He broke through in 2014, the same year as his brother did, with the song Naina in Shashanka Ghosh's 2014 romantic comedy Khoobsurat, which was composed by Amaal. Meanwhile, their father Daboo Malik, the younger brother of composer Anu Malik, started as an actor in 1988. He switched to composing music in 2000s, but hung up his boots by 2014, when his sons gained recognition for their work. The Malik family has been in the news lately for differences with each other. Armaan distanced himself from his family, while Amaal lent him support.
