Box Office: Mahavatar Narsimha continues to run riots in Hindi; Jumps on discounted Tuesday to Rs 4.20 crore
Interestingly, the film scored a Monday bigger than Saturday due to an increase in showcasing, with collections of Rs 3.20 crore. Due to strong word of mouth, and push from religious groups, the film has seen another spike in business on Tuesday. Benefitting from the discounted Tuesday offer, Mahavatar Narsimha has seen a 30 percent surge in collections to score Rs 4.20 crore on its fifth day of run.
With this, the movie is now looking at a first week in the vicinity of Rs 22 crore, and strong trend is expected in the second week too, as the word around the film has started to gain momentum now. Targeted marketing, strong content and controlled pricing are the three key reasons for the success of Mahavatar Narsimha. The film is the first animated hit of Hindi Cinema since Hanuman (2005), and the magnitude of success here is a lot more than the 2005 success.
Hombale Films are looking to make a universe out of the Mahavatar world, and Narsimha sets things up well for the second and third instalment, which are expected to hit the marque in 2027 and 2028 respectively.

Director Admits: Language Gap Crushed 'Sikandar' at the Box Office
Film director A.R. Murugadoss has broken his silence on the box-office misfire of 'Sikandar' starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna. Murugadoss candidly admitted he felt 'handicapped' on set due to lack of fluency in Hindi. He argued that making films in his native Tamil gives him creative strength and cultural connection, which he could not replicate in Hindi. Instead, scripts were translated—first into English, then into Hindi—causing disconnect with the youthful audience he was targeting. Though he previously delivered hits in Hindi, Murugadoss now underscores the emotional and linguistic hurdles that he believes undercut film's potential. Read More

In 2009, a romantic drama emerged that would redefine contemporary love stories in Bollywood. This film, directed by master of storytelling, Imtiaz Ali, featured a narrative that oscillated between two eras, exploring complexities of modern relationships mix-matched with traditional romance. Despite its eventual success, the casting process was fraught with unexpected changes, leading to a lineup that wasn't initially envisioned. Which film is this? The film we are talking about is cult classic, Love Aaj Kal, starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone. Interestingly, Deepika wasn't the first choice for the role of Meera Pandit. Imtiaz Ali had initially approached Kareena Kapoor for the part, but she declined due to scheduling conflicts. Did Saif Ali Khan wanted Kareena Kapoor to play role of Meera? Saif had a desire for Kareena Kapoor Khan to star alongside him, yet Imtiaz preferred Deepika, and ultimately, they proceeded with Imtiaz's selection. In a throwback interview, Saif stated, 'I believe she (Kareena) was very eager to collaborate with Imtiaz Ali once more, and I think he assured her that she would be in his upcoming film.' How Giselli Monteiro entered Love Aaj Kal? Similarly, the role of Harleen Kaur was originally intended for actress Sushmita Sen, but after extensive auditions, Brazilian model Giselli Monteiro was cast. Giselli had come to Mumbai in 2008 and auditioned for the role of Jo, Jai's girlfriend in the second half of the film. However, on the suggestion of Imtiaz Ali's ex-wife, Preety Ali that she should be cast as Harleen, especially since he had not been able to find a suitable actress for that role despite auditioning girls from all over India. What was the storyline? Love Aaj Kal weaves two parallel love stories: one set in the present day, featuring Jai (Saif Ali Khan) and Meera (Deepika Padukone), and another from the past, showcasing the romance between Veer Singh (also Saif Ali Khan) and Harleen Kaur (Giselli Monteiro). The film delves into the evolving nature of love, commitment, and the choices individuals make in pursuit of happiness. The supporting cast includes Rishi Kapoor as the older Veer Singh, Neetu Singh in a special appearance as the older Harleen and Rahul Khanna as Vikram Joshi who essayed the role of Meera's husband in the film. How was the box office reception? Love Aaj Kal was made on budget of Rs 35 crore and was released on 31 July 2009, that turned out to be commercial success. It grossed approximately Rs 120 crore worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year.
