What the critics say

Critics call Mahavatar Narsimha a visually ambitious, emotionally stirring animated mythological with a standout Narasimha climax and strong voice work, though several flag uneven animation, pacing issues, thin screenplay depth and a brutal final stretch.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 10 readings; 9 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
