Just 3 days after roaring past Rs 50 crores at the box office, Ashwin Kumar’s animated divine film, Mahavatar Narsimha, has taken a majestic stride, making over Rs 105 crores at the global box office. In a post on their social media handles, Hombale Films, the presenters of the film, wrote, "#MahavatarNarsimha crosses 105 CRORES+ GBOC India, setting the box office ablaze with unstoppable momentum. A divine phenomenon awaits you in cinemas.”

A fully animated film, Mahavatar Narsimha is the retelling of the story of Bhakt Prahalad and Lord Narasimha. The story centres on the famous Hindu legend of Prahlada, a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu. His father, Hiranyakashipu, a powerful king and fervent atheist, becomes furious over Prahlada’s steadfast devotion. After receiving a boon of near-immortality from Lord Brahma, Hiranyakashipu repeatedly attempts to destroy his son. However, when his tyranny goes too far, Lord Vishnu appears in his fierce fourth avatar, Narasimha, to save Prahlada and defeat the oppressive king.

Having earned Rs 50 crore a week after its release, the film, which was initially restricted to India, was further released in many parts of the world, including Sri Lanka, Australia, Malaysia, and across Europe since July 31. Mahavatar Narsimha was released in 3D formats across India and is available in multiple languages, including Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam.

Shilpa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai are the producers of the film under the Kleem Productions banner. Hombale Films distributed the film. Mahavatar Narsimha features an original score by composer Sam CS, while the screenplay is penned by Jayapurna Das and Rudra Pratap Ghosh.

This film is the first in Hombale Films' ambitious Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, which features a slate of animated films based on the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. The films will be released between 2025 and 2037.
