The Indian audience’s fascination with Barry Jenkins’ Mufasa: The Lion King was evident even before its release. Premiering on December 20, the film emerged as a box office juggernaut, effortlessly surpassing the collections of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 and Varun Dhawan’s Baby John, both released during the festive Christmas season.

With Mufasa crossing the ₹100 crore milestone in just nine days, it has cemented its place as a Hollywood blockbuster in India. The film has now achieved another feat on its 12th day, climbing to the second spot among the highest-grossing Hollywood films of 2024 in India.

Mufasa’s Box Office Journey

The table below highlights the daily earnings of Mufasa: The Lion King in India, including the initial figures for its 12th day. These earnings, sourced from SACNILC, demonstrate the film’s steady performance at the box office:

Mufasa Overtakes Godzilla x Kong

Mufasa has officially outpaced Godzilla x Kong at the Indian box office. The latter had earned ₹106.99 crore earlier this year, but Mufasa has now eclipsed that figure with its ₹109.93 crore collection.

This achievement places Mufasa at the second spot in the list of Hollywood blockbusters in India for 2024. Leading the pack is Deadpool and Wolverine, which remains untouchable at the top with a staggering ₹136.15 crore collection.

Star Power Behind Mufasa

One of the key factors driving Mufasa’s success is the star-studded voice cast. In the Hindi version, Shah Rukh Khan voices Mufasa, with his son Aryan Khan as Simba and his youngest son AbRam as the cub Mufasa. The Telugu version features superstar Mahesh Babu as the voice of Mufasa, adding to the film’s wide appeal across different regions in India.
