Mahavatar Narsimha is a 2024[c] Indian animated epic devotional[13] action film directed by Ashwin Kumar in his directorial debut, written by Jayapurna Das, produced by Kleem Productions, and presented by Hombale Films.[14][15] The film is the first installment in the planned animated seven-part Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, based on the ten avatars of Vishnu.[d]
The film chronicles two incarnations of Vishnu, Varaha and Narasimha. Varaha, a mighty boar, rescues Bhudevi (Mother Earth) from the asura (demon) Hiranyaksha. After his victory, the story shifts to Hiranyakashipu, Hiranyaksha's brother, who gains a boon, declares himself god, and oppresses Vishnu's followers. Prahlada, his son and devoted follower of Vishnu, remains faithful despite his father's threats. To save Prahlada and defeat evil, Vishnu appears as Narsimha, a half-man, half-lion form, who kills Hiranyakashipu while honoring the conditions of the demon's boon from Brahma. Blending two major episodes from the Dashavatara, Mahavatar Narsimha explores themes of divine justice, unshakable faith, and the eternal promise of protection to the righteous.[e]
The soundtrack and background score were composed by Sam C. S., with editing handled by Ajay Varma and Ashwin Kumar himself.[23]
Mahavatar Narsimha was screened on 25 November 2024 at the International Film Festival of India and was theatrically released on 25 July 2025 in 2D and 3D formats.[24][25] The film received generally positive reviews, performed extremely well in the Hindi version, grossed ₹300–325 crore worldwide at the box office.[b] It is the sixth highest-grossing Indian film of 2025. It emerged as the highest-grossing Indian animated film, surpassing Kochadaiiyaan (2014).[26]
Sage Kashyapa is engaged in evening prayers when one of his wives, Diti, approaches him for children. Kashyapa requests Diti to be patient as it is an inauspicious time for union, but she remains adamant, and Kashyapa relents. However, the next morning, Kashyapa reveals to Diti that since she approached him during an inauspicious hour, she shall give birth to two ferocious demons who shall provoke enmity with the gods, terrorize their devotees, and will eventually be slain by Lord Vishnu Himself when they reach the peak of their tyranny, all to Diti's dismay. Diti, as told by her husband, ends up giving birth to two demonic sons, Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha, who are later instructed in tamasic knowledge and mystical powers under the guidance of Shukra, the guru of demons. As they grow in power, the brothers wage war on the universe.
