After earning over ₹300 crore at the box office, Mahavatar Narsimha premiered on Netflix on September 19. Since its digital release, the film has stayed in the platform’s top 10 movies list but has received mixed reactions from viewers.
Many praised the makers for delivering a large-scale animated film in Indian cinema. However, several users felt the animation lacked polish and consistency. Some also raised concerns about the level of violence shown in a film rated UA.
Viewers mentioned scenes involving beheadings, eye-gouging, and other graphic visuals. While some defended the film, saying animation allows creative liberty and children already see similar visuals in games, others found it excessive.
Audiences continue to appreciate the film’s ambitious VFX and grand vision, though many agree that its execution could have been stronger.
Despite divided opinions, Mahavatar Narsimha remains among Netflix’s top titles, proving that OTT audiences respond differently from theatre-goers and often engage more critically with the same content.
