Narsimha is a 1991 Indian Hindi-language action drama film directed, produced, written, and edited by N. Chandra.

The film stars Sunny Deol, Dimple Kapadia, Ravi Behl, Urmila Matondkar and Om Puri in the lead.

[citation needed] Narsimha, a young and capable man, lives a middle-class life with his family in a quiet neighborhood.

On the occasion of his sister delivery, he returns home to find a communal conflict arise in his neighbourhood, which spreads to the whole city.

With no aim left in life, Narsimha turns to crime and alcohol and works for a man called Suraj Narayan Singh, aka Bapji, a cruel landlord and capitalist, who controls the crime, law and order of the city and rules over it using muscle power and his immense wealth.

Bapji openly declared to the city that since he is so powerful, influential and rich, hence nobody can kill him, not man or animal, neither by weapons nor any device, not in day neither in night, just like the Hindu King Hiranyakashyap, who had obtained the same boon from Lord Brahma after a long penance.

Bapji was later arrested by police due to his illegal activities after being pressured by the people of the city led by Narsimha and Anita.

Ayesha Jhulka was initially cast as lead, in what was to have been her debut film, but she was later replaced by Urmila Matondkar.
