The animation genre in India has always been a tough nut to crack. While Hollywood biggies effortlessly pull in multi-crore numbers with their animated releases, domestic projects usually struggle to get audiences into theaters. Interestingly, last year, the genre witnessed a historic shift when the mythological epic Mahavatar Narsimha turned into a monumental success. However, the latest release in the same spiritual-animation space, Mahaprabhu Jagannath, has crashed and dropped the harsh reality of animation films at the Indian box office.
Despite hitting screens concurrently with the highly auspicious Rathyatra festival – a period when public devotion is at an absolute peak – the animation film has opened with very low and negligible numbers at the box office! Since the trailer of the film was really good, it is a bit heartbreaking not to see such films perform, despite them being a perfect treat to the young audience!
