The wait is finally over for fans of the blockbuster animated film, “Mahavatar Narsimha.” Following a phenomenal run at the global box office, the mythological epic is now set to make its digital debut, giving a wider audience the opportunity to witness the spectacle from the comfort of their homes. Netflix India has officially announced that “Mahavatar Narsimha” will be available for streaming starting today, September 19, 2025, at 12:30 PM IST.

The announcement, made on the streaming platform’s official social media handles, has been met with immense excitement from moviegoers who missed its theatrical run, as well as those eager to re-watch the visually stunning saga. The film will be available in multiple languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, ensuring that a diverse audience across the country can enjoy the experience.

“Mahavatar Narsimha” has been a landmark film for Indian cinema, proving that a well-crafted animated feature rooted in our own culture can achieve unprecedented success. Directed by Ashwin Kumar and presented by Hombale Films, the movie is the first installment of the ambitious “Mahavatar Cinematic Universe,” which is planned to span seven films based on the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. Its story, which beautifully retells the ancient tale of Prahlad’s devotion to Lord Vishnu and the fierce manifestation of the Narsimha avatar, resonated deeply with audiences.

The film’s theatrical journey was a testament to its compelling content. Despite a modest opening in July 2025, it gained momentum through strong word-of-mouth, eventually surpassing ₹300 crore globally and becoming the highest-grossing Indian animated film in history. Its success has not only paved the way for more ventures in this genre but has also sparked a renewed interest in stories from Indian mythology.

With its digital premiere now confirmed, “Mahavatar Narsimha” is poised to break new records on the streaming platform, carrying the powerful roar of the lion-man avatar to a global audience.
