‘Mahavatar Narsimha' beats Prabhas's 'Saaho' to become the 8th biggest Hindi dubbed grossers
Ashwin Kumar
's Mahavatar Narsimha is rewriting the record books at the Hindi box office. On its 22nd day, the film's Hindi version has amassed a staggering Rs 147.3 crore net, thereby surpassing Saaho (Rs 142.95 crore) and claiming the 7th spot in the all-time highest-grossing Hindi dubbed films list.
The film, which opened modestly at Rs 1.35 crore on Day 1, steadily grew on the back of extraordinary word of mouth. By its first weekend, the Hindi version had already collected Rs 21.35 crore, with Sunday alone contributing Rs 6.8 crore. The strong momentum continued through the weekdays, with collections staying above the Rs 4-6 crore range, a clear indicator of the film's hold across single screens and multiplexes alike.
The real fireworks began in its second weekend. Day 9 saw Mahavatar Narsimha soar to Rs 11.5 crore, followed by a massive Rs 17.5 crore on Day 10 (second Sunday). This propelled the Hindi version into a league of its own, showing growth levels rarely seen for dubbed releases.
Even into its third weekend, the film remained a powerhouse. Day 16 delivered Rs 116.25 crore, followed by Rs 18 crore on Day 17 (third Sunday). Despite expected weekday dips thereafter, the film continued to collect consistently, recording Rs 6.15 crore on Day 22 and pushing its Hindi total to Rs 147.3 crore. The film was able to earn more than Rs 6 crore in Hindi that is despite

With this, Mahavatar Narsimha has crossed Saaho to become the 8th biggest Hindi dubbed grossers of all time. The updated list stands as:
Pushpa 2
- The Rule : Rs 830.10 crore
Baahubali
2 - The Conclusion : Rs 510.99 crore
KGF
Chapter 2 : Rs 434.70 crore
Kalki 2898 AD : Rs 294.25 crore
RRR
: Rs 274.31 crore
2.0: Rs 189.55 crore
Salaar – Rs 153.84 crore
Mahavatar Narsimha – Rs 147.3 crore
Saaho – Rs 142.95 crore
Baahubali – The Beginning – Rs 118.70 crore
What makes this feat remarkable is that Mahavatar Narsimha achieved it without the massive release size or marketing blitz of big-ticket pan-India spectacles like Saaho or 2.0. Instead, it relied purely on strong content, audience connect, and repeat viewings. Its religious-mythological narrative struck a chord across age groups, turning it into a movement rather than just a film.

16-BHK home, Rs 5000000000 net worth, fleet of luxury cars, here's how Elvish Yadav makes so much money
Early morning calm turned into chaos in Gurgaon's Wazirabad village. Around 5:30 am, unidentified men opened fire outside the house of YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav. At the time, his mother was at home. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. Police are investigating, but the identity of the shooters remains unknown. Who is Elvish Yadav beyond YouTube? From skits on YouTube to reality show stardom, Elvish has carved his place as a digital celebrity. Known for his witty desi humour, he transformed into a brand that commands crores. According to a 2024 report, his fortune was pegged at Rs 500 crore. His earnings flow in from YouTube, Instagram, sponsorship deals, and brand promotions. Recently, he even stepped into reality shows like Bigg Boss OTT 2, Laughter Chefs Season 2 (where he charged Rs 2 lakh per episode), Roadies, and others. How lavish is his lifestyle? The Gurgaon bungalow where the firing took place is not just any home — it's a 16-bedroom mansion. Elvish also owns an Rs 8 crore house in Mumbai and another property in Dubai. His garage boasts a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon and the electric G580 EQ model, among other luxury cars. Adding to his empire is his clothing line, Systumm Clothing, which has become popular with his fanbase. Music videos and collaborations further add to his wealth. Why does controversy follow him? Elvish's career has often run parallel with scandals. He faced charges linked to a rave party at a Noida farmhouse involving 'snake venom and drugs.' Before that, accusations of assault surfaced, along with backlash during Bigg Boss OTT 2 for alleged racist remarks against finalist Chum Darang. Another case involved him allegedly summoning a Delhi YouTuber to Gurgaon, where the latter was badly beaten. FIRs have been registered in multiple incidents, but Elvish continues to ride both fame and infamy. From viral videos to luxury mansions, Elvish Yadav's rise has been meteoric. But the gunfire incident at his Gurgaon home is a reminder that with money, fame, and controversy comes constant spotlight, and danger.

This 2014 suspense-thriller film had many bold scenes, climax will leave you in shock, movie name is…, lead actors were…
In the realm of cinema, certain characters blur the lines between love and obsession, sanity and madness. These portrayals captivate audiences, leaving them both intrigued and unsettled. One such enigmatic character emerged in a film that delved deep into the psyche of a woman driven by an all-consuming passion. Which film is this? The film in question is Zid, released on November 28, 2014. Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, known for The Kashmir Files and The Tashkent Files. This suspense-thriller introduced Mannara Chopra, cousin of actress Priyanka Chopra, in the role of Maya. What was the storyline? The narrative revolves around Maya, a young woman who becomes obsessively infatuated with journalist Rony, portrayed by Karanvir Sharma. Maya's love transcends normal boundaries, turning into a dangerous fixation that leads her to eliminate anyone she perceives as a threat to their union. The plot thickens with the mysterious death of Nancy, played by Seerat Kapoor, casting suspicion on Maya, Rony, and Priya (Shraddha Das). Maya's character is depicted as a complex blend of vulnerability and volatility, caring for her paralyzed father while battling inner demons. Her portrayal includes bold scenes that underscore her intense emotional state. How were the performances in Zid? The performances in Zid were mix of promise and limitations. Mannara Chopra, in her debut, garnered attention for her bold portrayal and screen presence. However, while she brought intensity to certain scenes, critics felt her emotional expressions lacked maturity and nuance. Karanvir Sharma, playing the male lead, delivered a more subtle performance, but his character was underwritten, leaving little room for impact. Shraddha Das, in a supporting role, brought confidence and some edge to her part, though her presence was limited by the film's narrow focus. How was the box office reception? Despite a decent opening weekend driven by curiosity, the collections dropped sharply after negative word-of-mouth and poor reviews. Zid earned approximately Rs 14 crore at the Indian box office against an estimated budget of Rs 10 crore. Critics slammed the film for its weak storyline and excessive focus on sensationalism over substance.
