Mahavatar Narsimha, produced by KGF fame Hombale Films and directed by Ashwin Kumar, was released this Friday. It's an animated mythological film, and the reviews coming in are generally positive.
Many reviews praised the film's "top-tier animation quality, vivid color palettes, detailed character renderings, and fluid motion". A critic opined that Mahavatar Narsimha is a "landmark in Indian animation". The superlative praise needs to be echoed by connoisseurs for it to stick.
The action scenes, particularly Narsimha's appearance, are described as "intense, raw, and spectacularly choreographed, keeping audiences hooked".
A few reviews mentioned minor flaws and inconsistencies in the animation, attributed to budget constraints. However, these are generally overlooked due to the overall quality.
Hombale Films, known also for Prabhas' Salaar, plans to release one mythological animation movie every alternate year. If Mahavatar Narsimha becomes commercially successful, it won't drop its larger plan.
