Directed by Ashwin Kumar, the animated mythological feature has crossed Rs 210 crore worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Indian animated film ever, even eclipsing The Lion King in India. Its Hindi version alone crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in just 15 days, a first for Indian animation.
Backed by Hombale Films, has delivered what is now the first Indian animated film to cross Rs 210 crore at the worldwide box office. The production house took to their official X handle to share the triumph, announcing, 'Mahavatar Narasimha crosses Rs 210 crore worldwide'.
In an achievement that will be remembered for years, Mahavatar Narasimha has outpaced Hanuman and even the Hollywood hit Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to claim the crown as India's highest-grossing animated film. The victory doesn't end there; the film has also overtaken Disney-Pixar's Incredibles 2 (2018) in domestic box office collections.
Mahavatar Narasimha: Box Office Collection
Even three weeks after release, the film refuses to lose momentum. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, on its 17th day, the third Monday, the film still raked in Rs 5.25 crore. This brings its total domestic collection to an impressive Rs 174.90 crore. Considering the film's budget was just Rs 40 crore, the returns are nothing short of staggering.

Mahavatar Narasimha: Plot
Mahavatar Narasimha tells the tale of Lord Vishnu's fourth incarnation, half-man, half-lion, who appears to protect his devotee Prahlada and vanquish the demon king Hiranyakashipu. The movie is rich in mythological grandeur, blending 3D and 2D formats across Hindi and South Indian languages to cater to a diverse audience.
Is this just the beginning of a bigger universe?
Yes. The team has grand plans. Under this cinematic universe, films will be made on all ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. Work is already underway on Mahavatar Parashurama and Mahavatar Kalki. Producers Shilpa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai, under the Kleem Productions banner, are set to take mythology-inspired animation to the next level.
With its record-shattering performance, Mahavatar Narasimha has roared into history, setting a gold standard for Indian animation — and this may be just the first chapter.

Viral: Woman Shares Hack To Keep Dal Warm While Eating, Internet Is Not Impressed
Food is the universal language that brings people together. However, some dishes are best enjoyed only when they are adequately warm. Whether it's a steaming hot bowl of soup or a perfectly grilled steak, the joy of eating is often ruined when our food gets cold during the eating process. A woman recently shared her hack for keeping dal warm while eating, but it got a lukewarm reception from foodies. In a video shared on Instagram, the woman was seen eating dal and chawal. After eating a spoonful of dal, she realises that it has gotten cold. Instead of warming it up on the stove or microwave, she removes the gas burner stand and brings it to the table. The woman sets up a tealight candle and places the burner over it. As the gentle flame warms up her dal, she can savour every spoonful without making several rounds of the kitchen. The side note read, "Best trick to keep your food hot while eating." Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maroo Radhika (@radhikamaroo123) Instagram users were not impressed with this food-heating hack: One user wrote, "Just one Another added, "It will take so long to find the stuff, it is better to just heat it on the stove." "The glass of the dining table will crack," read a comment. "Indian version of 5 mins craft/diy," joked a user. "Just created a problem for a solution," another chimed in. What do you think of this hack? Let us know in the comments below.

War 2 Advance Booking: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR Actioner Sells 78,000 Tickets In Hindi Chains
Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2 sells 78K Hindi tickets with a day to go, aiming for a Rs 30–35 crore opening day. With just one day left for its grand release, War 2 is making solid strides at the box office in India. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the high-octane action drama stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles. The Hindi version's advance bookings have been performing well, with momentum picking up after ticket sales opened in the southern states. In the top cinema chains — PVRInox and Cinepolis — War 2 has already sold 78,000 tickets for its Thursday opening, with the final figure expected to land between 1.5 to 1.75 lakh tickets. This strong pre-release response sets the stage for an opening day in the Rs 30–35 crore net range for the Hindi version alone. Telugu States Bookings Begin Strong for Jr NTR Fans In the Telugu-speaking states, bookings for War 2 have started on a promising note, largely driven by Jr NTR's fanbase. While the numbers won't match typical Tollywood blockbusters — given the film's positioning as a Bollywood project — they remain 'pretty solid." Industry trackers predict that the Telugu-dubbed version could secure the third-highest Bollywood opening in the region, behind Saaho and Adipurush. The Independence Day holiday on Day 2 offers a major boost opportunity, with War 2 aiming for Rs 50 crore-plus net collections in Hindi on Friday. The film's clash with Rajinikanth's Coolie wasn't initially considered a major concern. However, Coolie's strong pre-release momentum in certain markets has slightly tightened the race. International Bookings Off to a Moderate Start While domestic sales are encouraging, War 2's international advance bookings remain modest. Current estimates point to a USD 2.5 million opening day and USD 8 million opening weekend overseas. Globally, the film is tracking for an opening weekend in the Rs 300–350 crore range. By comparison, Coolie appears on course to approach Rs 400 crore worldwide. With massive star power, slick action, and the backing of a major franchise, all eyes are now on audience word-of-mouth. Positive reviews could be the key factor that pushes War 2 towards record-breaking numbers both domestically and internationally. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
