Let me start with the question: what will you expect when you are about to see an animated story that you have heard more than 100 times, and have already seen in movies, series and comics? It's difficult to pay attention to the flow of the story or the movie.
In recent years, there has been a shift in Indian cinema to portray Hinduism and the stories based on the Hindu teachings. There are the likes of Adipursh, Kalki 2898 AD, which fail on every aspect as movies. (I will take some time to beat them up again) There are bad ones like the Singham again and Ramsetu. (Honestly, they were just trying to capitalise on the crowd sentiments.) There are good movies like Hanu-Man here and there. And then there is this, a direct retelling of the story. Mahavatar Narsimha is the direct retelling 4th incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

This movie is beautiful and Awesome. Not perfect, but awesome. I enjoyed it thoroughly. And that's a big win, I say. The challenge was the language in which it was released in Trichy. The Movie was released in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil. My understanding of Tamil is a little broken. I understand Tamil, but it is a movie depicting the Satyuga. The language had very difficult-to-understand words. And I was heavily reliant on the subtitles. There were scenes that felt too wordy. I mean, I know the story, but certain dialogues were lost on me.
To be honest, the start of the movie got me a little nervous. The scene with Diti and Kashyapa Rishi. But once the demons were introduced, the story kicks the high gear oh!! Boy. It's hard to describe the beautiful introduction of Bhoodevi, the introduction of the Varha avatar, followed by the epic fight scene. With the matras lining up as background score, just super nice. What I liked the most was that depictions. Sometimes it's hard to depict something that's beyond our imagination. And we are not even halfway through the movie.
Even when I knew what was about to happen next, I was still caught looking at the big screen in awe. You have no idea how much hardly I am suppressing my urge to share the list of awesome moments from this film, but that might ruin your experience when you watch it. This is the movie that people should watch and recommend. One can complain about the quality of animation, but keep in mind that this was done with a budget of 15CR.
Hi Folks
I took my son to this movie. This is my young one’s first theatre experience. I wanted Jurassic World: Rebirth to be his first theatre experience, but after watching this movie, I am glad we missed Jurassic World. It was a joy watching him jump on his seat during the action scenes and experiencing the movie magic. My dad took me to Jurassic Park, and that was my first movie experience. I wanted to share something similar with my son. And now I have. So Yay!!!!. He enjoyed the movie. He is too young to understand the message of the movie, but he understands that 'Lion ne gande man ko maar diya.'
