August 4, 2025: On Sunday night, a part of a false ceiling fell down at a PVR theater in Guwahati when people were watching the popular movie Mahavatar Narsimha. Three people were hurt, including children, by the unexpected debris.

The event happened as people were watching the movie, and pictures of the aftermath have since become very popular on social media.

Reports say that the screening stopped right away and the injured got first aid. The theater crew quickly got everyone out of the building, and it is now closed for a comprehensive inspection. We are now waiting for an official statement from the authorities.

The event happened during a record-breaking run at the box office for Mahavatar Narsimha, an animated mythological movie by Kleem Productions and Hombale Films. The movie has allegedly made ₹81.25 crore in just 10 days since it was out on July 25th, making it a huge smash even though it had to compete with other new releases.

After the movie did well, Hombale Films and Kleem Productions announced a ten-year plan for an animated series that will tell the story of Lord Vishnu’s 10 holy incarnations. The following installment, Mahavatar Parshuram, will come out in 2027.
