Drawing on the Vishnu Purana, Narasimha Purana, and Shrimad Bhagavata Purana, Mahavatar Narasimha is more than just a tale of good versus evil; it is a celebration of faith's enduring strength and a timely warning about the dangers of hate, ego, and unbridled ambition.

Mahavatar Narsimha will have competition from Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR's War 2 and Rajinikanth's Coolie, staring on Thursday. However, as long as the tale is compelling and the passion is real, Indian viewers are willing to watch animated movies, as Mahavatar Narasimha serves as a thunderous reminder.
