According to early numbers from Sacnilk, the movie's total collection by Sunday is estimated between Rs 10.75 and Rs 11.50 crore gross (around Rs 9.25 to Rs 9.75 crore net). That means the film saw a huge 500 per cent jump in collections from Friday to Sunday.

The Hindi version of Mahavatar Narsimha played a big role in the film's box office success. On Sunday alone, the Hindi adaptation brought in around Rs 6.75 to Rs 7 crore net (Rs 8 crore gross). This was after making about Rs 4.50 crore net (Rs 5.50 crore gross) during the first two days.
With that, the total weekend collection for the Hindi version stands at over Rs 13.50 crore gross (more than Rs 11 crore net). The Telugu version also had a solid run, earning about Rs 4.50 crore gross (Rs 3.85 crore net) over the weekend. The film collected an additional Rs 75 lakh from other language versions.
Directed by Ashwin Kumar and backed by Hombale Films, the makers of blockbusters like Kantara and KGF, Mahavatar Narsimha is winning hearts for its gripping story and impressive visuals. The screenplay is penned by Jayapurna Das and Rudra Pratap Ghosh. Presented in five Indian languages, Mahavatar Narsimha has been edited by Kleem Productions and produced by Shilpaa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai.
The film retells the iconic story of Prahlad Maharaj, a young devotee of Lord Vishnu, whose unwavering faith ultimately led to the manifestation of the powerful Narasimha avatar to defeat tyranny.
