The live-action Mufasa: The Lion King, featuring the voices of Shah Rukh Khan and Mahesh Babu, has been roaring at the Indian box office. After a strong start, the film earned an estimated Rs 74.25 crore by the end of its first week. While it trails behind the record set by its 2019 predecessor, The Lion King, its upward trajectory suggests it could surpass those collections.
On its second Friday, Mufasa added an estimated Rs 6.6 crore to its tally, pushing its overall collection to Rs 80.85 crore. Among the language versions, the English original emerged as the highest earner, with collections estimated at Rs 29.15 crore, closely followed by the Hindi version at Rs 27.1 crore. The Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions contributed Rs 12.65 crore and Rs 11.95 crore, respectively.
