Box Office: Mahavatar Narsimha surprises on day one in Hindi; Animated film nets Rs 1.10 crore

Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar and produced by Hombale Films, has surprised one and all at the Hindi box office. The dubbed animated movie from the south of India, has made its presence amply felt in the Hindi belt if the day 1 collections are anything to go by. The movie based on the 4th avatar of Lord Vishnu has opened to a pleasant Rs 1.10 crore net in Hindi for the opening day, and this is with low-lying promotions. Mahavatar Narsimha Has Opened Well In Hindi Despite Strong Holdover Competition Mahavatar Narsimha is obviously doing well in its home market, but for it to make in-grounds in Hindi with minimal promotions, and purely on the basis of the film's units is commendable. One must not forget that a blockbuster movie like Saiyaara is already retaining the lion share of screens and then there also is the Hollywood biggie The Fantastic Four: First Steps, with its share of premium screens. The Day Wise Hindi Net India Collections Of Mahavatar Narsimha Are As Under If Mahavatar Narsimha's Weekend Momentum Transcends Into The Weekdays, A Major Success Is On The Cards For Hombale Films The advance bookings for the movie are very strong and so is the initial reception. If the momentum of the movie transcends to the weekdays, a theatrical hit shall be in contention; a rarity in today's time. It is even more rare for an animated movie to emerge a hit in India because animated films are seen as something just for the kids, by most. The highest grossing animated movie in India has a net lifetime total of under Rs 50 crore. The twin Lion King movies have not been considered because they look and feel like live-action films. On the other hand, the same animated movies wreck the box office in US/Canada with a few of them going on to even hit USD 600 million; something that only a handful of movies have really been able to manage. Recently, even China showed the potential of an appreciated animated flick. Ne Zha 2 grossed around 2 billion dollars in just the Middle Kingdom, proving that the 'taboo' is only in India. Can Mahavatar Narsimha Make Animation Be Seen As A Serious Business In India? One would hope that films like Mahavatar Narsimha make animation be looked at as a serious business in India. If this movie manages to breakout, the potential of the Mahavatar Universe will increase many folds. Mahavatar Narsimha In Theatres

Anupam Kher doesn't own a house because he wants to avoid property feuds after his death: ‘Sikandar doesn't ask me before doing anything'

Actor Anupam Kher recently put on his directing hat for the film Tanvi the Great. The film is struggling to fill theatres, having been swept under the Saiyaara storm. While promoting the film, Kher talked about his family life and several of his lifestyle choices, like living in a rented house. Kher explained that his decision not to buy a house stems from his desire to avoid conflicts within his family after his death. In an interview, he also spoke about how he parented Sikandar Kher, his stepson. Kher appeared on The Powerful Humans podcast and talked about why he decided to live in a rented house, even though he has the capacity to buy several homes of his own. He said, 'Even Gautam Buddha let go of all of his riches and comforts to live a simple life. You only need certain things in life: a house to live in, a car, and one or two people to work with. A house is a house; it doesn't matter if you rent it or you own it. I am ambitious in the sense that I want my films to do well, but that is different. But I don't feel like I have to own a big house or eat bread made out of silver and food made out of gold just because I'm rich.' ALSO READ: Anupam Kher admits to stalking a girl during school days; weighs in on rising conflicts in modern relationships: 'Why should girls tolerate…' He explained that he wants his family to lead a peaceful life without any conflict after he is gone, and leaving property behind might interfere with that plan. 'Once a person is gone, or has passed away, there is a chance that some disputes might arise regarding the property he has left behind. There is less conflict involved with distributing money. I have seen and talked to aged people, and their stories are harrowing. Someone has been thrown out by their son; someone is being coerced to sign over their property. These kinds of things and conversations don't happen in my house,' he said. Kher, who recently expressed regret about not having a biological child of his own, opened up about being a stepfather to Sikandar. He said that he refuses to look over his Sikandar's shoulder and wants him to live according to his own preferences. 'Sikandar is my stepson. Kids of today don't ask their fathers for permission before doing anything. I don't play the role of a father in my real life; that's fine for the movies. I don't go up to Sikandar and tell him how he should handle his business. Kids don't learn in this manner, and my father never told me what to do. Parents should give their kids a certain amount of freedom so that they learn from their own mistakes,' he said.
