Ashwin Kumar's Mahavatar Narsimha continues to bring steady cash flow at the box office. In a massive feat, the film has leaped past the Rs 50 crore-mark at the box office within a week of its release. The film had earned over Rs 6 crore every day since the third day of it hitting the screens. In a post on their social media handles, Hombale Films, which is presenting the film, wrote, "53 crore India GBOC and counting...The unstoppable Mahavatar Narsimha continues to reign supreme at the box office. Witness the divine rage unfold on the big screen."
Following its success in India, Mahavatar Narsimha has also been released in several countries across the world including Sri Lanka, Australia, Malaysia and across Europe since July 31.
A classic good vs evil story, the mythological story revolves around the well-known Hindu myth of Prahlada, a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu. His father, Hiranyakashipu—a mighty king and a staunch atheist—is enraged by his son's unwavering faith. Granted near-immortality by Lord Brahma, Hiranyakashipu repeatedly tries to eliminate Prahlada. But when his cruelty reaches its peak, Lord Vishnu intervenes in his fierce fourth incarnation, Narasimha, to protect Prahlada and vanquish the tyrant king.
The film is presented by Hombale Films, backed by Kleem Productions and produced by Shilpa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai. The film 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.
Mahavatar Narsimha was released in 3D formats across India and is available in multiple languages, including Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam.
