Nobody saw it coming. And that, honestly, makes it all the more impressive. A mythological fantasy drama with zero star power and virtually no pre-release buzz — and yet Krishnavataram Part 1: Hridayam is quietly holding its ground at the box office, inching towards an admirable lifetime total.

The movie collected another Rs. 3 crore nett from the South Indian dubbed versions.

What Is Krishnavataram About — and Why It Deserves Attention
Krishnavataram Part 1: Hridayam is a mythological fantasy film directed by Hardik Gajjar and starring Siddharth Gupta and Sanskruti Jayana in the lead roles. The film leans heavily into devotional storytelling and Indian mythology — a genre that, when executed well, can cut through to audiences in a very organic, heartfelt way.
And the numbers suggest that is exactly what happened here.
Is Krishnavataram a Hit or Flop?
Based on current trends, the film is looking to close its third week around Rs. 6 crore in Hindi alone, heading to wind up its full run around Rs. 35 crore nett — which is a very good performance for a film with almost no awareness at all before the trailer dropped.
The trailer of Krishnavataram was impressive, and its devotional themes gave it a chance. While the box office numbers are impressive for a film with no face value or awareness, it still needed to do a lot better since the costs and scale were on a much higher side.
In trade terms — it punched above its marketing weight, but it still may not fully recover production costs. A bittersweet story, but one that proves content can still draw audiences even without a superstar face. For more Bollywood box office analysis and film updates, visit TechnoSports.
