Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office Collection Day 12: Animated Film Sees Growth with Discount Offer, Nears ₹122 Crore Worldwide
Ashwin Kumar’s Mahavatar Narsimha continues its impressive theatrical run, cementing its place as the highest-grossing Indian animated film to date. On Day 12, the movie saw a 7.48% increase in collections, thanks to a strategic discounted ticket offer launched on Tuesday. This move came after a noticeable dip in revenue on the second Monday.
Domestic Performance
Made on a budget of ₹15 crore, the Sandalwood animated film earned ₹7.9 crore net on its second Tuesday (Day 12), according to box office tracker Sacnilk. This took the film’s total 12-day domestic net collection to ₹106.20 crore.
On Day 11 (Monday), the film had collected ₹7.35 crore net, marking a 68.18% drop from the previous weekend’s strong earnings. However, the mid-week offer helped stabilize the numbers and draw back the audience.
In terms of viewership, the film registered 29.55% Telugu occupancy across theatres on Day 12.
Worldwide Collection
Mahavatar Narsimha has also made waves globally, collecting a gross of ₹121 crore worldwide within 11 days of its release.
#MahavatarNarsimha has proven to be a revolutionary film for many reasons, but its biggest revolution will be for the Indian Animation Industry.
