In a season dominated by commercial star-driven releases, an unlikely contender has taken center stage. Mahavatar Narasimha, an animated devotional film produced by Hombale Films and Kleem Entertainment, is delivering a surprise hit that few expected.
Released with minimal buzz, the film has now become the talk of the trade, particularly in Telugu states. Originally made in Kannada, the Telugu dubbed version has seen a sharp rise in collections, outperforming other releases like Hari Hara Veera Mallu. In just five days, it earned an impressive Rs. 3 crore share in the Telugu market and is now projected to reach close to Rs. 8 crore by the end of its run.
Audiences, especially families and spiritual moviegoers, have embraced the film’s blend of mythology, emotion, and animation. Theatres continue to report strong occupancy even after new films have arrived, showing the power of positive word of mouth.
Directed by Ashwin Kumar and distributed in Telugu by Geetha Arts, the film is being praised for its sincere storytelling and visual presentation. It is not just drawing crowds but also leaving a meaningful impression that stands apart from routine commercial fare.
Mahavatar Narasimha is more than just a sleeper hit. It serves as a reminder that the most unexpected stories can rise above the noise. In a time when formulas dominate, this film has quietly carved its own divine path, one ticket at a time.
