Mahavatar Narishma Creates Box Office Storm, Enters 300 Crore Club Worldwide

Mumbai, August 24 - Kaleem Production and Hombale Films' epic devotional action drama Mahavatar Narishma has created history as it has officially crossed the 300 crore worldwide mark in just 31 days, becoming the first-ever Indian animated film to achieve this historic feat.

Made on a modest budget of around 10–15 crore, the film's phenomenal success has stunned trade experts and the industry alike. With a total collection of 301 crore worldwide after a month-long run, through the 5th Sunday, Mahavatar Narishma has not only proved the strength of storytelling in Indian animation but has also set new benchmarks for the genre.

The film has also joined an elite league by becoming the 5th Indian film of 2025 to cross the 300 crore milestone, standing tall alongside big-ticket live-action blockbusters like Chhaava, Saiyaara, Coolie, and War 2. Its achievement is being hailed as a game-changer for the Indian animation industry.

The movie's grand narrative, inspired by the Indian epic and presented with visually rich animation, struck a chord with audiences across age groups. The blend of divine storytelling, emotional depth, and cutting-edge visuals helped the film transcend the usual limitations of animated releases in India.

Directed by Ashwin Kumar, Mahavatar Narsimha is the first film in the planned 7-part Mahavatar Cinematic Universe. Needless to say, the movie proved to be a perfect start to the franchise, which will only grow from hereon, and is likely to inspire other studios to follow the route with original animated stories.
