The 3-day total of Mahavatar Narsimha stands at Rs 11.35 crore in Hindi, and the film is now headed to record a long theatrical run in North India.

The film released in Hindi on 800 shows on Friday, followed by 1100 shows on Saturday and peaked with 2000 shows on Sunday. Mahavatar Narsimha is the first animated film since Hanuman (2005) to hit the bullseye at the box office in Hindi, and to think of it, it also might be the first ever animated super hit, as Hanuman was more of a Semi-Hit grosser. The genre has a big reach among the kids, who often step out to consume international content in animation, but the mytho-connect has brought in families in the metros and mass belts alike. The Hombale Films produced saga has seen a 400 percent spike from Friday to Sunday, which is a rare phenomenon in the theatrical world in modern times. This is another winner for Hombale Films in Hindi after KGF, KGF 2, Salaar and Kantara, and the producers will be aiming to scale up further this year with Kantara: Chapter 1. The audiences are now back in cinema halls, as they are buying tickets for films on a week-on-week basis, and the theatrical sector is blooming again like the pre-pandemic world. The Monday of Mahavatar Narsimha will be higher than Friday, and one needs to wait to see how big the biz is on the fourth day. The film is a HIT in 3-days flat, and is poised to just go higher towards the SUPER-HIT or who knows, even the BLOCKBUSTER tag in the coming weeks, as the weekend trend is that of an EPIC-BLOCKBUSTER Friday: Rs 1.35 crore Saturday: Rs 3.25 crore Sunday: Rs 6.75 crore (Estimates) Total: Rs 11.25 crore

He shared that Abhishek, who had also faced criticism early in his career, encouraged him to stay resilient and keep believing in himself. That advice, Mimoh said, helped him view negativity as a stepping stone rather than a setback.

He shared that Salman has always been approachable and encouraging, offering him guidance whenever needed.

He was so nice. ' 'I'm the poster boy of anti-nepotism ' Addressing the ongoing debate around nepotism, Chakraborty shared his perspective, saying that being a star kid doesn't guarantee success. He acknowledged that while children from film families are naturally drawn to the industry due to early exposure, it doesn't translate into privileges beyond familiarity. 'People like Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan may know me because of my father, but they don't owe me anything,' he explained. Mimoh emphasized that opportunities might come, but it's talent, hard work, and destiny that truly shape a career. Rejecting the term 'star kid' as a label, he called himself the 'poster boy of anti-nepotism,' and stressed that while everyone deserves a chance, sustaining in the industry is entirely up to individual merit.

Ravindra Bhavan misses July deadline, September inauguration likely
1 2 Ranchi: The much-anticipated inauguration of Ravindra Bhavan, city's Rs 244 crore cultural complex, has now been pushed to Sept from July. Officials cited pending interior work and final touches as reasons behind the delay, even as over 90% of construction was already completed. The sprawling multi-functional facility, set to serve as a hub for art, theatre, literature, and public events, has faced multiple delays since its inception. Originally conceptualised before the pandemic, the project was hit first by Covid-related disruptions and later by architectural revisions and finishing upgrades. "This project was scheduled for completion in July, but minor works like interior fittings, auditorium seating, and lighting adjustments are still ongoing. We understand the growing public interest and are closely monitoring the progress. All efforts are in place to complete the final works and open the complex to the public by Sept 2025," said Sunil Kumar, secretary, urban development and housing department. Constructed by Jharkhand Urban Infrastructure Development Company (JUIDCO), the project boasts world-class facilities. These include a 1,500-seat auditorium, an art gallery, a library, a spacious banquet hall, VIP lounges, green rooms, and multipurpose halls distributed across three floors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your New Zealand escape starts with Singapore Airlines Fly with Singapore Airlines Book Now The building also features two expansive basement levels (10,500 sqm each) with parking space for 570 four-wheelers and 391 two-wheelers, as well as utility services like STP, WTP, rainwater harvesting systems, and fire safety installations.
