Mahavatar Narsimha earned Rs 5 crore net in India in Hindi on Day 6 (Wednesday) and has officially surpassed some of the biggest blockbusters. The film is estimated to earn a total of Rs 37.25 Cr net and Rs 44.25 crore gross in India.

Previously, the film recorded its highest footfall on day 5 because of the discounted tickets. The film has also become the highest-grossing animated film in India.

The film is produced by Kleem Productions and Hombale Films and led by producers Shilpaa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai.
