Mahavatar Narsimha Defies Monday Curse, Doubles Box Office on Day 4

In a surprising turn of events, the 2025 Hindi film Mahavatar Narsimha has emerged as a true outlier, bucking the industry trend of disastrous Monday box office performance. While most recent releases have suffered massive drops on the first weekday, Mahavatar Narsimha has seen an extraordinary surge in collections, raking in ₹3.89 crore on its first Monday - a staggering 166.44% growth from its opening day of ₹1.46 crore.

This sharp uptick indicates that strong word-of-mouth and positive audience feedback are driving footfalls for the film, something that has eluded several bigger titles earlier this year. In contrast, other 2025 releases like Badass Ravi Kumar, Housefull 5, Sikandar, Sky Force, and Raid 2 have seen dips ranging from 42.76% to 85.8% on their first Mondays. Even highly anticipated films like Kesari Chapter 2 and Chhaava, the year's biggest hit so far, suffered declines of 42.6% and 27.19%, respectively.

Mahavatar Narsimha's rare Monday spike signals a shift in audience reception and suggests the film could be in for a longer theatrical run than initially predicted. Whether it can maintain this momentum remains to be seen, but for now, the film has passed the crucial Monday test with flying colors, emerging as a true dark horse in a year filled with dramatic declines.
