Mahavatar Narasimha has emerged as the highest -grossing animation film in India so far. The film earned the rupee. For its second Friday for Rs 8 crore, its total gross rupee. 56.50 crores. This figure does not include 3D fees, as is the reporting criteria in India, with a total of gross rupee. 63 crores around.
Mahavatar Narasimha crossed the Hollywood film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Wors for the Record, while the last biggest homegron animation featured the Tamil film Kochadana superstar Rajinikanth. This record came in just eight days of release, and with the kind of speed that the film has been caught, it will raise the bar significantly.
Animation films are extremely popular worldwide, claiming some of the biggest grossers ever. This year, Chinese animation NE Zha 2 removed the box office records in the country, earning more than USD 2 billion. Last year, Inside Out 2 did tremendous business worldwide. In many countries, animation is the most popular style for movie-boiling. However, in India, there are very few taking it. Style is often seen as “kids cinema”, and in India, children do not do box office.
There is some appeal in religious animation, but except for the Punjabi film Char Sahibzad, nothing success has been found in pan-India or Hindi, ie so far. Mahavatar Narasimha is the first in the declared cinematic universe of seven films. It is expected that the film and the franchise will break the stigma and unlock the vast capacity of animation that has already distributed blockbusters worldwide.
