Audiences have particularly praised the film’s animation style and mythological depth. Despite a relatively low opening figure compared to mainstream blockbusters, the movie is gaining traction online, especially on platforms like Twitter, where fans are appreciating the visuals and emotional storytelling.
The film has been edited by Kleem Productions and scored by composer Sam CS. It was penned by Jaypoorna Das and Rudra Pratap Ghosh, and produced by Shilpa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai.
A Decade-Long Animated Franchise Begins
Mahavatar Narsimha is just the beginning of an ambitious mythological animated universe. Hombale Films and Kleem Productions have already announced plans for a decade-long franchise that will explore all ten divine avatars (Dashavatara) of Lord Vishnu. The series aims to reintroduce Indian mythology to new generations through high-quality animation and cinematic storytelling.
With Mahavatar Narsimha setting the stage, the studio hopes to keep building this universe, combining cultural reverence with modern cinematic techniques.
