Mahavatar Narsimha (Hindi) Day 11 India Box Office: Hombale's devotional movie continues its carnage on 2nd Monday, adding nearly Rs 5 crore net
Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar, and presented by Hombale Films, continued creating history at the box office on 2nd Monday, with the Hindi version doing the heavy-lifting. The devotional animated movie added Rs 4.75-5 crore net on its 2nd Monday and that is simply exceptional. It shows that the potential of the movie has not been exhausted. With an open 3rd week, it is expected that this movie will continue raking in solid numbers. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Mahavatar Narsimha (Hindi) Are As Under Particulars Hindi Net India Collections Week 1 Rs 29 crore 2nd Friday Rs 5 crore 2nd Saturday Rs 11 crore 2nd Sunday Rs 16.25 crore 2nd Monday Rs 4.75 crore net Total Rs 66 crore net in 11 days Note: The collections exclude 3D Charges Mahavatar Narsimha Is Set To Enter The Rs 100 Crore Net India Club In Weekend 3 Mahavatar Narsimha will enter the Rs 100 crore net India club, most likely over its 3rd weekend. The lifetime of the movie will depend upon how it holds after the release of War 2 and Coolie. Both the pre-Independence day releases are going to try and get as many screens as they can for themselves, and it is going to be very tight. Regardless, for Mahavatar Narsimha, all that it gets from here is technically bonus, as it opened to collections of just Rs 1 crore on day 1. The main aim of the movie was to make animated movies, mainstream; and it has succeeded in doing so. The upcoming films from the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, are set to get a reception that is even stronger than Mahavatar Narsimha. With this movie, producers have got the confidence that the audiences are willing to explore different genres and different film forms, as long as they entertain them. The fact that Mahavatar Narsimha is India's most preferred option for the current week and also the next week, despite biggies like Kingdom and Son Of Sardaar 2 releasing, further proves its acceptance Mahavatar Narsimha plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Son of Sardaar 2 Day 4 India Box Office: Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur starrer swoops to a low on first Monday, adds only Rs 3 crore
Son Of Sardaar 2, directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and starring Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan and others, had a poor opening weekend of just under Rs 25 crore net. The movie didn't get the required showcasing, and above that, the world of mouth of the movie was mixed to negative, resulting in no substantial weekend growth. On Monday, the movie dropped by over 60 percent, to add Rs 2.75 - 3 crore net. The total collections of the movie stand at Rs 27.50 crore and the week 1 heads for Rs 35 crore. The movie won't be able to capitalise on the open week 2 and a lifetime number of under Rs 50 crore net won't be surprising. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Son Of Sardaar 2 Are As Under Day India Net Collections 1 Rs 7.25 crore 2 Rs 8.25 crore 3 Rs 9.25 crore 4 Rs 2.75 crore Total Rs 27.50 crore Son Of Sardaar 2 Gets Directly Impacted By The Blockbuster Run Of Mahavatar Narsimha (Hindi) Son Of Sardaar 2 had a bigger opening than Mahavatar Narsimha on its second Friday. However, the devotional animated movie performed better than the former on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday, the collections are almost double and that says a lot about the acceptance of both the movies. Son Of Sardaar 2, Being A Sequel To A Hit Movie, Should Have Opened And Performed Better Son Of Sardaar 2, being a sequel to the hit Son Of Sardaar, should have had much better initials. However, Son Of Sardaar 2, despite the 50 percent recurring cast, hardly even looked or felt like the first Son Of Sardaar movie. Makers need to try hard to establish connection between both movies in the promos, else it is of no point. Audience is really smart to read into gimmicks and that is what has happened here too. To note, collections of Son Of Sardaar internationally aren't too pleasing either.
