Mahavatar Narsimha is the film score composed by Sam C. S. to the Indian animated epic mythological action film of the same name, directed by Ashwin Kumar, produced by Kleem Productions, and presented by Hombale Films. ^[1] The soundtrack was released from 25 June to 4 July 2025, ^{[2] [3]} with the Hindi version released by Ishtar Music and the Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam versions by Think Music. ^{[4] [5]}

The film is the first instalment in the planned animated seven-part Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, based on the ten avatars of Vishnu. ^{[a] [10]}

Background

The film's musical score and soundtrack were composed by Sam C. S. He was approached for the film after Ashwin Kumar listened to his songs in Jada (2019) which he liked. ^[11] Kumar showed seventy percent of the film's animation to Sam, who immediately understood the scope of the film as it requires a large and broad musical spectrum. He used Digi2 spectrum from Australia, along with orchestral and modern-day film music. ^[12] Sam took nearly six months of the film to work on the music, the most he had worked on any film. ^[13] He added, "Since this is an animation film, they would come to me with a rough anime. I would score music for it and then they would take it back and based on the background score, again work on the animation and would return for it to be refined even further." ^[14] The orchestral portions were performed by the Macedonian Symphonic Orchestra and was recorded in parts of Europe. ^[12]
