‘Mahavatar Narsimha' beats Prabhas's 'Saaho' to become the 8th biggest Hindi dubbed grossers
Mahavatar Narsimha is creating waves at the Hindi box office, earning Rs 147.3 crore in 22 days. Surpassing Saaho, it now ranks 8th among highest-grossing Hindi dubbed films. The film's success is attributed to strong word-of-mouth, a compelling religious narrative, and repeat viewings, despite competition from War 2. Its performance highlights the power of content over massive marketing campaigns. 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 Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR 's War 2 dominating most screens as it minted nearly Rs 44 crore on the Independence day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo With this, Mahavatar Narsimha has crossed Saaho to become the 8th biggest Hindi dubbed grossers of all time.

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.

Dhvani Bhanushali reflects on six years of ‘Psycho Saiyaan'
Singer Dhvani Bhanushali recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as her chartbuster 'Psycho Saiyaan' from the 2019 action thriller Saaho marked its sixth anniversary. The vibrant track, which became a massive hit upon release, played a pivotal role in Dhvani's career, marking her foray into singing in multiple South Indian languages. Taking to Instagram, Dhvani shared a throwback video of herself dancing to the infectious number, while recalling how the project came her way at a turning point in her journey. ''6 years of Psycho Saiyaan today… and I still remember exactly where I was when it all began. I had just released Vaaste and was in Goa with my friends when I got the call: 'We're doing Psycho Saiyaan in three more languages and you'll be singing all of them,'' she wrote. The multilingual version of the song featured Dhvani's vocals in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. Despite initial nerves, she took the challenge head-on, carefully learning the pronunciation of each syllable in the new languages. She credited the music team for believing in her abilities and called the opportunity a 'big leap' in her musical journey. Adding to the memorable experience was her meeting with Saaho stars Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor on set. Dhvani expressed how touched she was when fans said her voice suited Shraddha perfectly. 'That meant more than I can explain,' she said, highlighting how the song helped shape her path and deepen her connection with listeners. She also expressed gratitude toward co-singer Sachet Tandon and music composer Anirudh Ravichander, calling the collaboration an enriching experience. 'Even now, when I hear you singing it at shows or see your videos online… It reminds me just how powerful music can be,' she shared, thanking fans for keeping the song alive in their hearts. Saaho, directed by Sujeeth, starred Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles. The film revolved around an intense action plot featuring gang wars and undercover missions tied to a massive financial crime. Dhvani's reflections on Psycho Saiyaan not only celebrate a musical milestone but also underline her evolution as a pan-Indian playback singer.
