Animated Blockbuster Scores Bollywood's Biggest Box Office Triumph
17 Aug
Summary
- Mahavatar Narsimha earns 201.79 crore net in 23 days
- Becomes first Indian animated film to enter 200 crore club
- Enjoys staggering 1245.26% return on investment
On August 17, 2025, the animated juggernaut Mahavatar Narsimha has achieved a remarkable feat, scoring a much-awaited double century at the Indian box office. Despite the release of the highly anticipated War 2, which secured over 5,000 screens for its Hindi version, Mahavatar Narsimha has continued to maintain its momentum in the Hindi market.
In the past 23 days, the animated film has earned a net collection of 201.79 crore at the Indian box office. Adjusting for GST, the gross domestic collection stands at 238.11 crores. This achievement is particularly significant as Mahavatar Narsimha has become the first Indian animated film to enter the coveted 200 crore club.
Furthermore, the film's financial success is truly staggering. Reportedly made on a budget of just 15 crores, Mahavatar Narsimha has enjoyed a return on investment of 186.79 crores, which equals a remarkable 1245.26% in returns. This makes it the most profitable film in Bollywood's modern era, surpassing the previous record held by The Kashmir Files at 1162% returns.
With such a winning run and an underwhelming response to War 2, industry experts believe Mahavatar Narsimha might even go on to score 250 crores in India, cementing its status as a true box office juggernaut.
