Indian cinema has witnessed yet another box office milestone with Mahavatar Narsimha storming its way into the coveted list of the Top 10 highest-grossing Hindi dubbed releases of all time. In a feat few anticipated, the animated mythological epic has outperformed the record once held by the pioneering blockbuster Baahubali – The Beginning, closing its second week at an impressive Rs. 123.40 crore.
With this achievement, Mahavatar Narsimha now ranks ninth on the all-time chart, pushing Baahubali – The Beginning (Rs. 118.70 crore) to the tenth spot. The list remains dominated by mega South Indian blockbusters that have transcended language barriers—led by Pushpa 2 – The Rule at Rs. 830.10 crore, followed by Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion (Rs. 510.99 crore) and KGF – Chapter 2 (Rs. 434.70 crore).
What makes Mahavatar Narsimha’s entry into this elite club especially noteworthy is that it is the first animated film to do so, breaking through a space traditionally dominated by high-octane live-action spectacles. Its seamless blend of cutting-edge animation technology, rich mythological storytelling, and mass appeal has struck a rare balance—pulling in family audiences, animation enthusiasts, and fans of mytho-epic narratives alike.
Trade experts credit the film’s longevity to strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewings, a phenomenon typically reserved for cultural phenomena like RRR or Baahubali 2. “The collections are extraordinary not just because it’s an animated film, but because it has competed directly with live-action event films and held its own,” notes one leading distributor.
Currently, the Top 10 Hindi dubbed releases list reads as follows: Pushpa 2 – The Rule (Rs. 830.10 cr), Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion (Rs. 510.99 cr), KGF – Chapter 2 (Rs. 434.70 cr), Kalki 2989 AD (Rs. 294.25 cr), RRR (Rs. 274.31 cr), 2.0 (Rs. 189.55 cr), Salaar (Rs. 153.84 cr), Saaho (Rs. 142.95 cr), Mahavatar Narsimha (Rs. 123.40 cr), and Baahubali – The Beginning (Rs. 118.70 cr).
As Mahavatar Narsimha continues its theatrical run, it stands as both a cultural and commercial breakthrough—proving that animated cinema, when executed with scale, vision, and emotional depth, can command the same box office gravitas as the most celebrated live-action blockbusters. Its success may well redefine the future landscape of Indian animation, inspiring studios to dream—and invest—bigger.
