Mufasa: The Lion King has set its sights on theatres, as the film had high expectations from the Indian market. The expectations were set high because high-profile stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Mahesh Babu dubbed the voice of Mufasa in the film.
While it attracted a lot of regional audiences, the film has performed exceptionally well in Indian theatres. The Domestic box office report of the film has been disastrous as it collected only $35 Million across the weekend in the USA.

The Indian market uplifted the film's overall growth. The film garnered around 35 crores over the weekend, which is decent given the stiff competition it faces from Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2.
Leading from the front in the Hindi dub is none other than Shah Rukh Khan, who aims to make the franchise bigger than ever. Despite having a decent amount of collection over the weekend, the film was unable to beat its predecessor The Lion King (2019) which collected over 50 crores in its first weekend.

Decent numbers for Mufasa: The Lion King in India show how SRK and Mahesh Babu have impacted the theatres with their voices and people are tuning in to listen to them portray the main character of the film.
It remains to be seen how the film paces up ahead as it faces a tough battle from Varun Dhawan's Baby John this Christmas.
