Talking about the review, Firstpost gave the film 3 stars and wrote, “  Mahavtar Narsimha also narrates the beautiful story of a young 5-year-old child of Hiranyakashipu named Prahlad, one of the greatest devotees of Lord Vishnu, who remains fearless of his father’s oppression and makes several attempts to make Hiranyakashipu understand his wrongdoings.

Director Ashwin Kumar deserves accolades for bringing one of the golden parts of our Indian history, which not only speaks about our gods but also sheds light on devotion and important parts of our festivals and celebrations, like Holika Dahan.

In the time of larger-than-life action spectacles and rom-coms, experiencing a movie like Mahavatar Narsimha definitely evokes different kinds of positive and holistic emotions.”
