It’s now the highest-grossing film in the Doraemon franchise in India.

What the Numbers Tell Us?

• Week 3 dropped 75%. That’s steep, but normal for a film in its final phase after a family-driven festive run.
• Week 1 did the heavy lifting. More than half of the total came in the first seven days.
• The run is nearly over. Trade trackers expect it to wind down soon, with a final total of around Rs 29 to 30 crore gross.

What Is the Story About?

Nobita and his friends head out on an undersea camping trip using Doraemon’s futuristic gadgets. Their journey leads them to the hidden Mu Federation, where they discover something terrifying: the ancient Atlantis civilization’s rogue AI, Poseidon, has activated a weapon that can destroy Earth.

The group teams up with Mu’s El and travels into the Bermuda Triangle to stop Poseidon. Whether they succeed is what the film explores.

Why It Matters?

Anime films don’t usually break out in India. This result shows there’s a real audience for them, especially when the film has a loved character and a family-friendly adventure. It also hints that more anime releases could find a place on Indian screens.
