Hombale Films and Kleem Productions’ Mahavatar Narsimha, which released just a week ago, is creating history at the box office. A key part of the ambitious Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, this divine spectacle takes viewers on a deeply spiritual journey, and it’s clearly winning hearts across the nation with its powerful storytelling and visuals.

We’ve witnessed history being made. For years, Hollywood animated films like Spider-Man, The Incredibles, and Kung Fu Panda held the title of India’s highest-grossing animated films. But for the first time ever, an Indian movie, Mahavatar Narsimha, has claimed that spot.
Sharing the news, the makers wrote, “The divine roar has echoed across the nation 🦁 #MahavatarNarsimha has roared past all records, grossing ₹60.5 CRORES+ in just 8 DAYS to become India’s Highest-Grossing Animated Film of All Time 💥”
This divine spectacle has taken over the nation, with fans flooding theatres to experience its mythological grandeur and connect with their roots, history, and culture. The craze is so strong that fans are dressing up as Mahavatar Narsimha and celebrating inside theatres. With consistent momentum since release and a strong weekend ahead, the film is poised to shatter even more records.
Hombale Films, the powerhouse behind the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe and Mahavatar Narsimha, has consistently delivered record-breaking blockbusters.

Hombale has truly built a legacy of cinematic excellence.
