Doraemon: Castle of the Undersea Devil is on track to become the second-highest-grossing anime film in India, with a net collection of ₹8.35 crore after four days. The film, a remake of the 1983 classic, has defied expectations by pulling in ₹1.95 crore on opening day and holding strong with ₹1.25 crore on Monday — only a 35.9% drop despite limited theatrical runs.
That’s not just a bounce. It’s a full-on nostalgia surge. And it’s not just kids. The audience mix?
A wave of millennials riding the memory train, drawn by the cartoon that once ruled schoolyard afternoons. The film’s momentum is clear: it’s already the fourth highest-grossing anime title in India, and trade sources suggest it could overtake both Shinchan: Our Dinosaur Diary and Suzume by week’s end. On BookMyShow, it’s sitting at a near-perfect 9.2/10 from over 5,500 votes, proof the love isn’t just emotional, it’s loud.
