“Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” has officially become the highest grossing anime film ever released in India. The fan-favorite Japanese movie set records before it even hit theaters, all thanks to massive ticket bookings and huge demand among young and old viewers alike.
How Big Was the Release?
Right before opening day, “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” had already sold over 1 lakh tickets. On September 12, 2025, the film opened with shows running from early morning—some theaters even scheduled screenings before 6 AM just to manage the crowds! Those early bookings alone earned over ₹10 crore in gross for day one, with the opening weekend tracking toward ₹15 crore from ticket sales.
It has surpassed anime hits like “Suzume” and “Jujutsu Kaisen 0” to become the largest non-Hollywood foreign film opening in India for 2025. More than 2.5 lakh tickets were pre-purchased at multiplex chains, placing this release on par with popular superhero films and setting a new record for anime in India.
Why Is This Movie So Popular?
Because of its captivating plot, endearing characters, and breathtaking animation, “Demon Slayer” already has a sizable fan base. One of the most talked-about aspects of the series is the “Infinity Castle” arc. For this movie, fans got the chance to book tickets for shows in Japanese with subtitles, plus English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubbing—making it easy for everyone to enjoy.
The film’s action and emotional depth pulled in young viewers, families, and even first-time anime watchers. This enthusiasm was fueled by fan events and social media buzz, as many people shared cosplay photos and reviews from the screening day.
More Than Just a Movie
The popularity of “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” demonstrates the extent of anime’s expansion in India. In addition to shattering earlier anime records, it demonstrates to theater owners that Japanese animation has a sizable market. Many theaters added extra screenings to meet the enormous demand, sometimes even at midnight or early in the morning, as almost every show in major cities sold out.
