In one particularly dramatic scene in an encounter with a corrupt cop, Narasimha teaches a lesson, in quite a literal scene, about the importance of priests in temples. To its credit, there’s plenty of suspense in the initial portions of the film, about who Narasimha (Balakrishna) is and why he is forced to leave Vizag. The rest of the story is all about unravelling the mystery of Narasimha and his equation with Gauri.ĭirected by KS Ravikumar, Jai Simha is a cocktail of action, drama, sentiment - the staple troika of masala films - that falls short from being an engaging film. Meanwhile, he’s shocked to see his childhood friend-and-former girlfriend Gauri (Nayanthara) in the same town. But soon, his past begins to haunt him and there are flashes of anger, which underline that he has a different avatar. Eventually, he finds a job as a driver in a rich man’s house. ![]() After hitch-hiking to several places, where he wants to live a peaceful life, he ends up going to Kumbakonam.
