With this turnaround, Maareesan joins the list of films that flopped in theatres but found success on OTT, proving once again the power of digital platforms in giving films a second life.

Krish Jagarlamudi and Anushka Shetty’s next film, Ghaati, is gearing up for release, and expectations are gradually building.

This marks the director’s second collaboration with Anushka after their earlier successful outing. The Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty actress is returning to the big screen with Ghaati, and the recently released theatrical trailer has generated a positive response among film circles, sparking anticipation. However, the film’s promotions remain relatively low-key.

Despite having solid content and favorable buzz, the makers have yet to capitalize on the opportunity to push the film aggressively to the audience. Apart from Anushka, who is undoubtedly the crowd-puller, the film stars Tamil actor Vikram Prabhu in the lead. While he adds weight to the cast, he does not hold the same box office pull as Anushka.

Director Krish Jagarlamudi, meanwhile, finds himself in the spotlight again. After stepping away from Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which failed to impress, fans and industry insiders continue to believe that Krish’s creative touch could have made a difference. Known for his knack for weaving compelling narratives, Krish is confident that Ghaati will stand out for its unique storyline, one not explored before on the big screen.

For now, fans are eagerly waiting for Anushka to step forward and lead the promotions, as her return to form is what many are looking forward to the most.

Indian cinema has seen its fair share of surprise hits, but few can match the sensation created by Mahavatar Narasimha. At a time when animation is often considered a risky genre in India, this regional film has shattered expectations to emerge as a record-breaking blockbuster.

What began as a modest release soon snowballed into a nationwide phenomenon. The film first stunned trade analysts by racing past the ₹100 crore mark, and before the dust could settle, it stormed into the ₹200 crore club. Now, it is eyeing the once unimaginable milestone of ₹300 crore worldwide.

Interestingly, many believed its box office run had peaked after the second week, especially with major pan-India releases like War 2 and Coolie hitting theaters over the Independence Day weekend. But when those films underperformed, Mahavatar Narasimha bounced back stronger, reclaiming shows and screens. Even in its fourth weekend, it is playing to packed houses, underscoring its deep audience connection.

The film’s performance across languages has been equally impressive. The Hindi version alone has grossed over ₹170 crore, while the Telugu version is closing in on ₹50 crore—a rare feat for an animated feature in India. Strong Sunday collections and steady weekday numbers prove that the craze is still going strong.

From a film that released without lofty expectations to one that is now rewriting box office history, Mahavatar Narasimha has redefined what Indian animation cinema can achieve. With its momentum showing no signs of slowing, the film is poised to cross milestones once thought impossible.
