Mahavatar Narsimha is an animated mythological film backed by the producers of Salaar and KGF. It tells the story of Prahlad, the ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu, and how it deeply affects his asura father, King Hiranyakashipu. The tale is fascinating and the second half is very well executed. A few scenes and especially the climax will lead to claps in the theatres. The animation is mostly decent. On the flipside, the music doesn’t work. A major chunk of the first half is devoted to the back story and this bit is not as exciting. Also, the violence is at another level in this film. Though the makers are being authentic, the level of gore might put off a section of the audience. The makers should have ideally gone the Hanuman or Ramayan: The Legend Of Prince Rama way. Nevertheless, Mahavatar Narsimha makes for a nice, one-time watch.
My rating – *** out of 5!
