As happens sometimes, movie buffs tend to share glimpses of a film on social media after catching the early shows without realizing it may act as a spoiler for others who have not watched the movie yet.
Released in the cinema halls on Friday, the project is a cinematic adaptation of the Hindu mythological tale of Prahlada, a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu, who faces strict opposition from his atheist father, Hiranyakaship, blessed with immortality by Lord Brahma.
However, as Hiranyakaship's brutality crosses all limits to get rid of his devotee son, Lord Vishnu comes to Prahlada's rescue as his fourth avatar, Narsimha.
Hombale Films in collaboration with Kleem Productions' has planned an ambitious animated franchise which is expected to span over a decade. The franchise will incorporate the ten divine avatars of Lord Vishnu: Mahavatar Narsimha (2025), Mahavatar Parshuram (2027), Mahavatar Raghunandan (2029), Mahavatar Dhawkadhesh (2031), Mahavatar Gokulananda (2033), Mahavatar Kalki Part 1 (2035), and Mahavatar Kalki Part 2 (2037).
Made under the direction of Ashwin Kumar, "Mahavatar Narsimha" has been jointly produced by Shilpaa Dhawan, along with Kushal Desai and Chaitanya Desai under Kleem Productions banner.
Speaking about the project, producer Vijay Kiragandur said, 'We are really proud to be associated with Mahavatar Narsimha. It is an Animated film created with immense heart, faith, and in alignment with the values we deeply believe in. We feel this is an important story that needs to be told. Hindu scriptures are vast and magnificent, filled with countless fascinating narratives'.
"We take immense pride in bringing forth the story of Lord Narsimha, the fourth avatar of Lord Vishnu, through the medium of animation. These are the stories that define India, and we strongly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience and connect with them," the filmmaker added.

Ashwin Kumar's Mahavatar Narsimha mints Rs 15.85 Cr in opening weekend: collections soared by over 400 % from Day 1
Ashwin Kumar's mythological action drama, Mahavatar Narsimha, has exceeded expectations after a modest opening. The film, rooted in Indian mythology, witnessed significant growth over the weekend, particularly in the Hindi-speaking region. Strong word-of-mouth and appreciation for its spiritual themes are driving its success, potentially making it a surprise hit despite limited pre-release buzz. Ashwin Kumar 's mythological action drama Mahavatar Narsimha opened in cinemas with measured expectations, but the film has shown a notable upward trend through its opening weekend. Rooted in ancient Indian mythology and centered around the fierce avatar of Vishnu who emerges to destroy the tyrant Hiranyakashyap, the film has managed to strike a chord, particularly in the Hindi-speaking belt. Directed by Ashwin Kumar with reverence for the source material and supported by strong visuals, Mahavatar Narsimha delves into the eternal battle between good and evil, a story familiar to many but rarely attempted with such scale and cinematic vision in modern Indian cinema. The screenplay by Ashwin Kumar , Jayapurna Das and Rudra Pratap Ghosh brings to life the poignant journey of Prahlad's unwavering devotion and the divine wrath of Narsimha, offering both emotional and action-packed beats. The film had a modest start with a Day 1 (Friday) net collection of Rs 1.75 crore across all languages. Of this, the Hindi version contributed a significant Rs 1.3 crore, clearly establishing the northern belt as the film's strongest market. The Telugu version followed with Rs 35 lakhs, while Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam versions opened to limited numbers, together contributing just Rs 10 lakhs. However, the real turnaround began on Saturday, with the film showing an impressive 162.86% growth. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo It collected Rs 4.6 crore, with the Hindi version rising to Rs 3.25 crore and Telugu to Rs 1.15 crore.

Never before has a film with newcomers like Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda performed this well at the box office. The film has been directed by Mohit Suri .

Kanwars: let's pause, reflect and recalibrate
Let me share three snapshots from one of North India's biggest pilgrimages. Scene 1: Place: Modinagar, district: Ghaziabad The Kanwar procession halted, with hundreds of devotees clapping and surrounding a woman and her physically challenged husband chanting 'Har Har Mahadev". The reason? This villager, Asha Devi, was undertaking Kanwar pilgrimage carrying her husband on her back. She believed it would not only cure him of his disability but also result in his employment. Scene 2: Place: Lachhiwala in Dehradun. A large contingent of Kanwariyas is resting. Powerful boom speakers are playing devotional songs inspired by Bollywood music. Suddenly a large elephant charges towards them. Utter pandemonium ensues. After flipping a tractor trolley the elephant drops its aggressive stance and retreats towards the jungle. Wildlife experts say high decibel sound disturbs the sleep pattern of the wild animals making them irritable and aggressive. Scene 3: Place: Mirzapur. A video of young Kanwariyas, in which they are roughing up a soldier, goes viral. The soldier in uniform isn't giving in. Every time he falls he gets up to take on his attackers. The video evokes the memories of the 'disturbed areas' of Kashmir and the North Eastern region. Tell me which one would you like to witness in your neighbourhood. I guess none! I have nothing against the Kanwar processions. I am a devout Hindu–in birth and in deeds. I have endured long queues leading to the temple in freezing cold, pouring rain and oppressive heat. I have walked for miles carrying my young children in arms so they could take a dip at 'Triveni" (the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati). Even today I feel rejuvenated and complete after undertaking the panch kedar journey performing the rudrabhishek. I have no doubt that 99% of the people participating in such a pilgrimage are inspired by deep devotion to the divine. Unfortunately, miscreants and anti-social elements are able to muscle their way into such journeys of faith, harassing passing vehicles with rods and aggressive body language showing scant regard towards women and children sitting inside them. They feel no remorse in attacking places of worship of other religions. They aren't alone in abusing faith, traders and politicians alike treat it like a profitable venture. The state of Uttar Pradesh will go for village pradhan elections this year. The probables have gone out of their way to not only sponsor a large number of young men to undertake Kanwar pilgrimage but also organized langars (community lunches) along the way. It has resulted in record-breaking crowds at Haridwar. The Uttarakhand government says this year 45 million people gathered to procure Ganga water. Last year, the numbers were at 41 million. It's okay to support Kanwariyas but creating inconvenience for others is where it gets tricky. The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, who has gone the extra mile to make Kanwar pilgrimage more comfortable and safe, is aware of the deterioration creeping into the tradition. He warned miscreants hiding behind the Kanwars, insisting that everyone's CCTV footage was available. He said those who are trying to malign the Kanwar yatra will be exposed and posters with their faces pasted everywhere. We should remember that apart from Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, Kanwar yatras are organized in other parts of the country. But these places don't witness such hooliganism. Not only Kanwars, many religious processions are organized throughout the country on different occasions round the year. Millions attend them but rarely do we witness such chaos and mess. I am reminded of France where once I got a chance to witness a religious procession. I saw thousands of people moving quietly in single files. It set a beautiful example that religion and spiritual peace are complimentary. There's no place for noise and nuisance. At that time I thought the oldest religion in the world should also reflect maximum discipline. But why is it lacking? Hinduism and thousands of years of our Hindustaniat (Our Indian identity) is testimony to the fact that we always deal with our weaknesses and emerge stronger and better. I have firm belief we'll pause, reflect, and recalibrate our approach for restoring the pristine glory of the pilgrimage for present and future generations.
