Mahavatar Narsimha OTT release date: India’s biggest animation movie this year all set to stream online

Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar, was produced by Kleem Productions and Hombale Films (KGF, Kantara and Salaar). The biggest animated hit of the year is now ready for its OTT release.

Mahavatar Narsimha is the first part of the planned seven-film Mahavatar Cinematic Universe based on Lord Vishnu’s ten avatars. The story covers Varaha and Narasimha incarnations.

It begins with Varaha saving Bhudevi from Hiranyaksha. After his death, Hiranyaksha’s brother Hiranyakashipu gains near-immortality. He declares himself a god and starts tormenting Vishnu’s devotees.

His son Prahlad, however, remains devoted to Vishnu. To protect Prahlad and restore justice, Vishnu takes the Narasimha form, a half-man-half-lion. The Narsimha avatar kills Hiranyakashipu by breaking the boon’s conditions.

The movie premiered at IFFI in November 2024 and was released theatrically in July 2025 in 2D and 3D. It became India’s highest-grossing animated film.
