Despite tough competition from local and international releases, the dragon-filled fantasy adventure struck a chord with viewers of all ages. Its blend of stunning animation, heartfelt storytelling, and action-packed sequences proved to be a winning combination.
Industry insiders say that the film witnessed strong occupancy across metros and Tier-2 cities alike, with family audiences turning out in large numbers, especially for the Hindi dubbed version.
Trade analyst Ramesh Bala noted, “How to Train Your Dragon has always had a loyal fanbase in India. The emotional bond between Hiccup and Toothless continues to resonate with viewers, and that’s reflected in the box office performance.”
The franchise’s return was further boosted by a strong marketing campaign and word-of-mouth praise on social media. With the summer vacation season still on, the film is expected to maintain steady collections over the next few weeks.
Given the promising start, How to Train Your Dragon could very well become one of the highest-grossing animated films of the year in India.
