Adipurush (2023) User Reviews

Besides a soulful score by Ajay Atul, this adaptation of Ramayana is a baffling and collosal dissapointment.

[ritesh657 · 2/10 · 18 June 2023]

Besides a soulful score by Ajay Atul, this adaptation of Ramayana is a baffling and collosal dissapointment.

My Rating : 15/100

Adipurush is a disgusting mockery of a beloved and celebrated chapter of Indian Mythology. Baring the intimidating Sharad Kelkar's voice and Ajay Atul's profound score, nothing really clicks in this modern adaptation. Om Raut's precarious attempt is a monumental disaster in every aspects of filmaking. Starting from the caricaturish character design of Raavan, cartoonish rendering of the banar sena , cringe dialogues & hurried screenplay everything forces us to bash this misfire. Some salvageable performanaces by Kriti Sanon and Devdatta Nage isnt quite enough to save this project. A mere cash-grabbing project with no acknowledgement of the source material , relying only to play with the Indian sentiments is the prime idea behind this.

A proper case of poor casting, whoever decided to cast the stone faced Prabhas to portray the vibrant character of Ram should be easily disbanded from his casting career. A complete misfit as he stirs through with no expressions on his face. Entire film is shot in dark, in order to hide the already flawed CGI. Thor's Asgard is colour graded to black and they have the new Lanka. Wtf are you serious Om Raut? The entire films goes by and i couldn't find anything which i could have related or brought back home. A tiring adaptation to say the least.

Overall, if you wish to see this film even if you re a Prabhas fan, you will be largely dissapointed. Only Prasanth Neel's Salaar can revive his degrading career. My suggestion would be to skip this in Theatres and show your kids the Yugo Sako animated version of The Legend of Prince Rama or Ramanand Sagar's version if ever you want them to learn this beautiful epic.

Pathetic Ramayan parody

[Biswas_ · 2/10 · 18 June 2023]

Adipurush, if one remembers, was supposed to be an modern adaptation of Ramayan and hence the makers chose to have a free run with the creative liberties in this film and it all went wrong .

Adipurush itself starts from the middle of Ramayana where lord Ram was sent to the jungles for 14 years exile . Hence the film doesn't have any build up to any character.

First, the characters itself have no introduction whatsoever. Makers assume since we know Ramayana, so no need to introduce anyone properly. Lord Ram is just introduced through some pictures in the opening credit while laxman and Sita ma have even further lower introduction. Honestly saying if one didn't tell you that Sunny Singh is laxman, you probably won't know. Jatayu pops up randomly and gets to poorest adieu . It's almost as if Lord Ram doesn't even know who Jatayu is. Bali , the brother of Sugreev, has absolutely no introduction.

Next, the setting. If it's a modern adaptation of Ramayana, then why is the Lord Ram side shown to be taken straight from Ramayana but Lanka and it's people especially Raavan are shown as people of some Azguard (Thor) ? Clearly there is inconsistency . If you remember the original Ramayana, both Ram and Raavan side had almost similar kind of dresses with kings wearing king like dresses etc. Here, both sides wear dresses belonging to opposite poles.

Next, the execution. It's horrendous. Bali and Sugreev's fight is the worst looking one which gets over in no time without any introduction to Bali. As they fight, you can't even understand who is Bali and who is Sugreev. The part where Sita gets kidnapped by the Sadhu is not accurate. The Sadhu i believe never gave evil smiles . Jatayu's adieu is just ignored. In the earlier Ramayana, Jatayu has a heartfelt conversation with lord Ram in his arms before dying but here, Jatayu is just treated like a random bird. Last but not the least, everything on the lankan side is so poorly executed. Lord Hanuman burns Lanka with his tail but it barely burns, just random explosions here and there that's it.

Next, I want to talk about Indrajith and Vibhishan. My god what kind of portrayal is this? Indrajit looks like a party animal from some Noida club and he possesses powers of Flash !! The level of creative liberties they took!! Vibhishan is so hard to believe he's vibhishan as he doesn't act like him only . They all got weird tattoos on their body especially indrajith . Itna bhi modern nahi karna tha !!

VFX and dialogues. Let's not talk about it you already know how it is. The final war sequence also looks so cartoonish that it sucks the essence out of it.

Let's talk about Raavan played by Saif. He does try very hard to make Raavan look menacing. His character is even given a terrifying bgm . However, the rest things of his looks so weird. His 10 heads rendered VFX looks hilarious at best. His hairstyle is again Noida Gurugram style. He feeds non veg to his dragon vehicle (why is non veg shown in this film at first place?). All these creative choices just don't fit Raavan. The makers have just played around with the Lanka side while fearfully avoiding any creative changes on Ram side .

Songs are good as well as the BGM. That's the only reason I gave this film 2 stars.

Prabhas as lord Ram should never have been there. He's just angry faced , barely smiles and has no expressions at all. His body is an entire VFX render throughout.

Overall, i thought KBKJ was the worst film this year but Adipurush beats it by a mile solely because it has ruined an epic saga so close to all Hindus. Adipurush just shows a part of the entire Ramayana that too with little to no detailing with its running time being 3 hrs and back in 1992, the Yugo Sako version showed all details and the entire tale of Ram in under 2hrs 50 mins. It clearly shows the quality difference of the makers .

Absolutely Trash Except That "Ram Siya Ram" Song

[bhaichunglepcha-76894 · 2/10 · 18 June 2023]

ADIPURUSH for me is absolutely trash movie. Not worth for watch first, the casts are playing as unreal in movie.

They don't look kinda real characters.

And what to say about dialogue, the used dialogue was totally pathetic 😭 which can't be used for ramayan characters.

VFX was what to say, same as before.

I don't think they have changed any vfx in this eight months. The ravana Chamgadar is same as before, which i cannot watch 😄 so, unrealistic. The movie budget is not worth to say for this kind of movie.

Overall adipurush is a comedy, trashed vfx and down oriented dialogues movie.

Watch at your own risk.

I am giving 2/10 stars for just a one song which i liked during starting of movie i.e, RAM SIYA RAM .

How can someone make a movie that bad ?

[shoponlinesaurabh · 1/10 · 16 June 2023]

Summary: Adipurush, a movie supposedly based on the Hindu mythology Ramayan, proves to be a disastrous departure from tradition. With its misguided choices in visual effects, abysmal dialogues, and language inconsistencies, the film misses the mark on multiple levels.

Detailed Review: A question to the director and the other heads, how can you be so irresponsible while making this masterpiece of a story into something trash? The blatant disregard for retaining the original character personalities is appalling. Ravan, a Brahmin devotee of Shiv, known for his vegetarianism, is completely transformed in this movie, which not only disrespects the original mythology but also has the potential to hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus.

Let's talk about the VFX, or rather the lack thereof. Despite having a higher budget than Brahmastra, Adipurush fails to achieve even a fraction of the visual effects quality. It's clear that more effort should have been put into fixing the VFX instead of just superficially color grading the scenes.

The dialogues in Adipurush reach new depths of mediocrity. While attempting to portray a more modern interpretation, the filmmakers fail to put in the necessary effort to create dialogues that can be understood and appreciated by any generation. The result is a disjointed and poorly crafted script that leaves viewers cringing and yearning for substance.

In conclusion, my disappointment with Adipurush is immeasurable, and it truly ruined my day. The film's disregard for character authenticity, subpar VFX, and atrocious dialogues render it an abysmal cinematic experience. It fails to deliver on its promise of an engaging and respectful adaptation of the revered Ramayan Epic. It serves as a disservice to both the source material and the audience, leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of those who had hoped for so much more.

Pathetic ScreenPlay, Out of Context dialogues

[anirudhgarg_ · 1/10 · 18 June 2023]

Manoj Muntashir what the hell u have made .....?

Can't have worst depiction of holy ramayana than this movie Out of Context and Derogatory dialogues

Adipurush is merely a Bollywood-ised version of one of the most epic tales that ever existed. If you keep the story aside for it's largely known to all, the execution turns out to be a messy blend of over-the-top CGI and passable VFX, and making it worse are the intentionally funny dialogues that sound misplaced in a sensitive and mythological story. Why would you want Hanuman to say 'Jalegi tere baap ki'?"

Better to watch the ancient Ramayana rather then wasting time on this so called Epic.

'Troy' remade, but very much stranger.

[donmurray29 · 7/10 · 23 June 2023]

The fable of 'Helen of Troy' gets done within an Indian fantasy world in this very long film. You have a movie that is heavy with CGI and Green screen, and it's not good CGI.

The acting and the story is good, some great production design here, music is brilliant and as nearly always, good songs too, just not that many here though. Plenty of action, and use of slow motion is overused, which drags the film on for three hours. A good load of editing is needed, to be sure.

The motion capture is used quite a bit in this, too much really, and practical effects would of and should of been used here, so there is a lot of style with no substance, hence the problems. Action is not as great as it should of been.

Entertaining as it is, it's flawed and needed polish, but I did enjoy it. Looking at the scores and reviews here, I can understand the disappointment, but I gave it a seven out of ten as it's an different take of 'Troy'. But its' not the epic that it pretends or wants to be. Can say if it's worth seeing, but it beats being bored at home. That's about as fair as I can say.

Worst movie in the world

[vikasbanta · 1/10 · 16 June 2023]

Worst movie in the world. This is not even 0.00000000000000000001 percent of Ramanadji's Ramayana.

First of all, I have a humble request to all of you not to call Ramayana (Mythology) because it is our history.

I can not address Adipurush with any kind of number (I would not give it any rating) because only and only humor has been made in it.

There is not a single Ramayana dialogue anywhere in this entire movie.

Ravana was a very learned king and he is shown as a Mughal.

The most important thing in the war was that Angad's warning dialogue was not the only one which could show the dignity of Purushottam.

They made Meghnath (Flash), Honorable, I want to know from you that in which epic you had read that only Laxman ji gets snakebite and for that Lord Hanuman ji went to get Sanjeevani, where was Shakti Baad.

If I talk about this whole movie, there is not a single scene in it which defines spirituality.

I want to know what thought you guys made this.

This movie is fully inspired by Mughals. Not from Ramayana.

If you guys think that I am saying wrong then you can discuss me on this I am ready with facts.

A Deeply Disappointing Adaptation: Aadipurush

[vivchopra · 1/10 · 16 June 2023]

Aadipurush, unfortunately, proves to be an immense letdown and a missed opportunity. The film's visual effects appear artificial and excessive, giving the impression that suitable shooting locations were lacking, leading to the decision to film every scene in a studio with green screens and relying heavily on post-processing effects.

The casting choices are severely flawed. Hanuman's character, smaller in stature compared to Ram and Ravan, seems out of place. Throughout the film, Ram's character lacks any semblance of emotion, and there is a noticeable absence of charm on his face. Laxman's portrayal fails to do justice to the character, and the Vanar Sena appears to be a combination of monkeys and chimpanzees, indicating a lack of understanding from the director regarding the distinction between Vanars and other animals. Sita's character lacks the pride and grace befitting the traditional portrayal, instead being presented as a modern interpretation. Moreover, Ravan's character is depicted solely as a dark villain, disregarding his status as a knowledgeable Brahmin. These creative decisions substantially distort the story of Ramayan, misrepresenting several key aspects.

The dialogue further adds to the film's disgrace. The characters communicate disrespectfully with each other. Prabhas, portraying Ram, addresses Sita by his father-in-law's name (Janki). Hanuman's character is muzzled, hindering proper communication. Most of the dialogue feels as if it were penned by an amateur writer, lacking the depth and knowledge expected from a well-versed writer.

Witnessing this disrespect toward the Hindu epic was deeply disheartening. It is astonishing to contemplate how the actors, writers, and filmmakers could transform such a beautiful story into a subpar production. The film's failure is truly disheartening, as it squanders the opportunity to create a remarkable cinematic experience, instead delivering a dispiriting disappointment. The sheer magnitude of this disgrace compelled me to leave the theater before its conclusion.

Tiresome Commercialized Ramayan

[maestromanohar · 2/10 · 16 June 2023]

Don't know where to really start from, this is an epic disappointment on all levels. And the fears really came true, the VFX is so poor that, you start to wonder if this is a beta version of a video game launched several years ago, it is that cartoonish and was an eyesore. Acting wise, none really standout, though the aggressive version of Lord Rama played into the strengths of Prabhas, he was just okayish, Kriti had just to smile and weep. Even with a caricaturish characterisation of Ravan, it was Saif who had put some genuine effort among all the cast and crew. Screenplay is so lazy, the dialogues at places are as cringeworthy as hell. Technically, for a 500Cr project, this has to be the biggest scam in Indian Cinema in the recent times, nothing much about cinematography, as the entire movie was shot indoor, editing is pathetic, action choreography was straight out of many Hollywood movies. Only saving grace is the songs of Ajay-Atul and the score of Sachet-Parampara, it really elevates the proceedings.

Coming to director Om Raut, for a man who directed two critically and commercially successful ventures like Lokmanya and Tanhaji, he perhaps overestimated himself and probably went overconfident in directing this, some of the creative choices like Ravan and Lanka design might not go well with the staunch followers of Hindusim, his version of creating a commercial Ramanaya is the worst decision.

Bottom-line: Wait for Salaar, stay away from this.

A Cringe-worthy Adaptation

[pratiksharma-29248 · 1/10 · 18 June 2023]

"ADIPURUSH" is an unfortunate attempt at adapting an epic story, resulting in a cinematic disaster that falls flat on multiple levels. From the onset, it becomes painfully evident that the film has made some regrettable choices in terms of visual effects (VFX), dialogues, and the overall adaptation.

Let's start with the VFX, or rather, the lack thereof. The movie's visual effects are nothing short of abysmal. The poorly rendered creatures and unconvincing movement leave the audience cringing with disappointment.

Moving on to the dialogues, they prove to be equally disappointing. The use of cheap language, lacking depth and originality. The dialogues fail to evoke any emotional response.

However, the most egregious offense committed by "ADIPURUSH" is its degrading adaptation of an epic. The film takes the rich source material and reduces it to a shallow and misguided narrative. The characters are poorly developed, their motivations are unclear, and the plot meanders aimlessly, losing the essence of the original story. It's disheartening to witness such a disregard for the source material, as it alienates fans who were eagerly anticipating a faithful and respectful interpretation.

Overall, "ADIPURUSH" is a disappointing cinematic experience that fails on multiple fronts. Its woeful VFX, cringe-worthy dialogues, and degrading adaptation make it a forgettable and regrettable addition to the genre. Save yourself the trouble and seek out better cinematic offerings that do justice to the stories they aim to tell.

Don't waste your time and money

[anupsh-56100 · 1/10 · 18 June 2023]

There should be less than 0 rating for such a bad movie, there is a huge difference between Ramayana and Adipurush movie. This movie has done the work of defaming the history of India and the history of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram, people are watching the movie only to see Prabhas, otherwise a good movie cannot be made in favor of Hinduism from Bollywood everyone knows. None of the cast and crew of Adipurush would have read Ramayana, this is just the irony of Ramayana, it is a request to all Hindus, please do not watch this movie because through this movie, they want to tell a different history to the new generation.

Poorly made movie

[aarpanpat · 18 June 2023]

Adipurush is a poorly made, poorly acted, and poorly written film that is a big disappointment to us. The film is visually stunning, but that is about all it has going for it. The story is boring, the characters are one-dimensional, and the dialogue is cringeworthy. The action scenes are poorly choreographed and the special effects are laughable. The film's biggest problem is its lead actor, Prabhas. Prabhas is a charisma vacuum who brings nothing to the role of Ram. He is wooden and lifeless, and he fails to emote even the simplest of emotions. The supporting cast is also unimpressive.

Overall, Adipurush is a disappointing film. It is a waste of time and money, and it is not worth watching.

A new take on Ramayana.

[rubyistsanta · 8/10 · 22 June 2023]

To begin with, "Adipurish" is a captivating movie that deserves at least one viewing. It offers a fresh perspective on the epic tale of Ramayana by presenting Ravana not only as a king but also as an engineer and blacksmith.

This movie explores the possibilities of Ramayana, particularly within the Indian context. It acknowledges that the oldest and most authentic version of the Ram Katha originates from the Buddhist Jatak Stories, specifically the Dasharath Jatak Katha.

Alongside the Buddhist version, there are also Jain Ramayana and Brahminical Ramayanas, with Valmiki Ramayana being the oldest among the latter.

It's important to note that there exist hundreds of variants of the Ramayana, and "Adipurush" adds a unique narrative to this extensive list. The story is an intriguing interpretation primarily based on Valmiki's Ramayana, diverging from the more popular Ramacharit manas, a 500-year-old rendition in the Awadhi language by the author Rambola Dubey, also known as Tulsidas.

Overall, "Adipurush" offers an interesting and distinct exploration of the Ramayana story, making it a worthwhile experience to delve into.

Yeah, I didn't rate 7 by mistake 😄

[ronitsriv · 7/10 · 12 August 2023]

Now that you have started reading due to such a high rating hear me out.

I watched it knowing that it is an adaptation.

I will tell the problems first. I watched it on OTT and the animation is pretty bad at some points in the movie. Sometimes the way arrow was held or generally the forests. Some dialogues felt weird at points but most of them were good and impactful.

The good part? Yes, there is. The background music is good. Most of the dialogues were good. The way Raghav motivated vanar Sena for war made me teary. You need to watch them to feel the impact. In general the scenes where weapons are used mostly appeared nice.

I became an atheist from a Hindu. I liked that finally we could watch Ramayan in a fun manner, learning it's values. Not just as a religious thing.

If you are not watching seeing the reviews then please don't do that. This is surely worth a watch.

I actually felt how good Ram was and I should try to be as much as I could like him at the end of the movie.

Worst movie..

[nakap · 1/10 · 16 June 2023]

"Bhagwan Hanuman ji will be in need of Sanjivani after watching Adipurush "

See the whole movie is a disaster , there is nothing positive point about it , I don't want to talk about VFX . Directing is also worst . Om Raut had no vision and just copy pasted all the Hollywood scenes in this movie . It is a poor compilation of all the Hollywood action scenes . It is everything , but not Ramayan . But my problem isn't even that , the problem how can you get the most basic history wrong.

Problems with getting the story wrong 1) Casting : The first basic mistake . Prabhas looks like Ravan with moustache and aggressiveness . Kriti no where looks like Maa Sita , she looks like Devakanya . Saif looks like a tik toker , who just came out of Saloon . And there is a surprise , Dashrath ji character , you couldn't even see that appearance on TV , leave theatre alone .

2) Giant Hanuman speaks with Maa Sita : If you read Hanuman Chalisa " Sukshma roop dhari Siya hi dhikava " ~ In a small , gentle form you appear in front of Sita Maa , can't you get that right ?

3) Asgard Lanka : Lanka is one of the most beautiful city ever created , why did you darken it , it is made of steel .

4) Ravan always cunning : According to scriptures Ravan is one of the most intelligent person , he is an astrologist , he is the knower 4 Vedas and 6 Upanishads . In this movie he was always shown cunning and dumb .

5) Vanarsena : could be compared to Early Humans , but here they are shown as monkeys 6) Rama asks Vanarsena to fight for him : Rama never asked or encouraged the Vanarsena to fight for him , he just asked Sugreeva to help him .

7) Rama : Lord Rama , calm and composed at all situations , but he is always shown aggresive .

8) Hairstyles and Dressing : If you look at them , it feels like some tik tokers were in the movie . Ravan army with some darth vader masks , Ravan with a tik tok hairstyle .

And I at least expected some powerful scenes to have an impact . They had no impact . Scenes like Jambvant encouraging Hanuman , Hanuman bringing Sanjeevani , Ram Setu , nothing was powerful , it was so cheap . It could be ignored in OTT as well . Please watch Ram Anand Ramayan , it was so beautiful.

Please , if you can't write a basic story on Ramayan don't . We won't accept this , why should you change our history . Leave VFX , at least the casting , or at least the story line wasn't perfect . A 6 years old kid knows the story better than you.

Disaster!! Save your money guys

[smilewithnilesh · 1/10 · 16 June 2023]

I don't know from where should I start. Only good thing about the movie was Some of good dialogues by Manoj Muntashir ..but not all. Om raut should never make any movie after this.

Do not try to relate it with original Ramayan.. because many incidents were shown wrong. So disappointed and disheartened by the makers of this movie. Save your money or spend on something else don't pay to take headache with you.

VFX not at all on point.. they chose final battle scene as night to save some embarassment.

VFX 1/5 Direction 1/5 Dialogue 3/5 Saif Ali Khan acting 4/5 Kriti 3/5 Prabhash 2/5.

Editing: 2/5.

Bad dialogues, misguided story

[abhisekbhoi · 1/10 · 18 June 2023]

This is the wrist think of the year... Some scenes are own created by writer... Dialogues are very 3rd class .I think Ramanand Sagar ramayan is best ... There is some characters are fake... We know hanuman have ast sidhi nav nidhi.... Then why Hanuman looks like a Muslim ? And ravans 10 head is up down... They show a dark Lanka like coal field... And we know our ram is a simple and calm person... But in movie they show us a aggressive ram ... They made a bahubali 3 in story of ramayan... I think pravas is wrong choice for Prabhu shree ram ... Why ravan looks like a chapri .. where is ahiravan the king of patal lok...

Seems to be conspiracy to trash Hindus' sacred text, via this movie

[pratyushpic · 1/10 · 18 June 2023]

Shocking level of depravity shown by movie makers, in creating this movie. Om Raut and Manoj Muntasir, were you making a comedy genre movie out of the sacred Ramayana ? Shame on every one who was part of this project.

And to Manoj M who is going around saying Katha Vachaks in India use such type of language...I have heard innumerable Katha Vachaks throughout my life. Never heard anyone insulting the holy Ramayan or its characters in such manner.

VFX is at a level that perhaps a high school student who has just learnt a few tricks from youtube, will do for free time-pass. The whole 600 cr budget is a complete farce. ED should investigate for money laundering angle.

Waste of time and money.

[sanjoydeb-48183 · 1/10 · 18 June 2023]

Worst movie of the year 2023. VFX quality is childish. Acting of protagonists is 🤢. Costume designing is 🤧. Hairstyles are 😭.

If you want to watch Ramayana, then go for Ramanand Sagar's RAMAYANA. You can watch it free on YouTube.

Look, it's your choice, your money, whether you want to watch the movie on big screen or not.

These 🤧 types of VFX and acting skills can be seen in Salman Khan's movies. There is no doubt about that.

Mr. Director probably thought that Indian youths are dumb, and imotional to Sri Rama. So, they would sure go and watch the movie.

Now, the real question:-

Is it worthy to go to theater and watch the movie?

Well, my suggestion is a big "NO".

Watch if you wanna know how to make bad movie.

[greatvaibhavgoyal · 1/10 · 18 June 2023]

Adipurush, a much-anticipated film starring Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, and Kriti Sanon, fails to live up to the expectations of its viewers. Despite a promising premise and a talented cast, the movie falls short in multiple aspects, leaving the audience unsatisfied and disillusioned.

One of the major letdowns of Adipurush lies in its character development. Prabhas, known for his charismatic presence on-screen, fails to justify his role as the protagonist. His performance lacks depth and fails to evoke the necessary emotions that could have brought the character to life. Similarly, Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon also struggle to make a lasting impact, as their characters feel underdeveloped and fail to leave a lasting impression.

Another glaring issue with Adipurush is its screenplay and dialogue. The film relies heavily on overhyped and low-impact dialogues that do not resonate with the audience. The lack of impactful writing makes it difficult for the viewers to connect with the story or the characters, leading to a sense of detachment throughout the movie.

Furthermore, the visual effects in Adipurush, touted as one of its strengths, turn out to be lackluster. The CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) feels unpolished and fails to seamlessly blend with the live-action sequences. The result is a jarring and unconvincing visual experience that takes away from the overall immersion in the film.

The filmmakers had the opportunity to elevate Adipurush by focusing on simplicity and utilizing a more accessible language. However, they missed the mark by overcomplicating the narrative and using convoluted storytelling techniques. As a result, the movie becomes unnecessarily convoluted and difficult to follow, leaving the audience feeling disconnected and perplexed.

In conclusion, Adipurush is a disappointing film that fails to capitalize on its potential. The lackluster character development, underwhelming performances, weak dialogue, and unimpressive visual effects contribute to its downfall. While it had the ingredients for success, the execution falls short, resulting in a wasted opportunity. Ultimately, this movie fails to leave a lasting impact and will likely leave viewers feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled.

Nothing more than a futile attempt to exploit Hindu faith - Adipurush is offensive and non serious.

[moviebluffhere · 19 June 2023]

Adipurush is not only one of the worst cinematic adaptations of Ramayan ever made, but also a shoddy, and offensive treatment to the parent chronicle of Lord Ramchandra's pastimes in Ayodhya and His 14 years long exile.

There is not a single character that has been seriously presented. The movie makers intention was probably to mock the entire gravity and seriousness of this epic. Dialogues are offensive. I was shocked by what was playing on the screen. What made the makers think that such a non-serious and in fact insulting attempt would be lauded? The sheer assumption that the audience was so uninformed about "Ramayan" as a text is appalling.

Om Raut needs to be introspect of what he has done with the source material like that of Valmikiji's timeless epic, Ramayan. He has completed done away with its "dharmik" essence. No research has been done or at least that is what it looks like. The screenplay is discontinuous and uninteresting. It alters significant events from the Ramayan without any plausible reason. The scenes do not register gracefully. There is legit no emotional connect for characters. Actions scenes have directly been picked up from Hollywood movies. The performances are mediocre to poor, mostly tending towards the latter. One is forced to wonder where did the 700 crores go? What was going on in the minds of the makers when they were writing and directing such a movie? How did the actors agree to be a part of this futile effort for an adaptation? They had the audacity to call this hostile adaptation a "work of devotion"? Seriously?

The lesser is said about other aspects of the movie the better. I already feel like I need to cleanse my eyes after the mess that I watched. Adipurush appears to be a work of hostility and planned insult to Lord Ram and His pastimes. Sadly, the makers of the film (Director Om Raut and writer Manoj Muntashir) promoted it as some monumental effort to glorify Lord Ram. At least, it doesn't come across as that.

Well made movie will appeal to younger generation

[bobbym75 · 8/10 · 21 June 2023]

I watched this because I was adamant I would not be a sheep and be put off by the loudest voices criticising the movie... and so glad I watched it. My two kids loved it and are now interested in reading the Ramayan, that alone is a massive tick in the box from me. The effects were great, such a good modern spin on the Ramayan. Didn't bother me in the least bit that it may not have been 100% accurate, what appealed to me was that it was refreshing, enjoyable, and fun for the kids.

Do yourself a favour and check it out yourself, don't listen to the big mouths who are bagging the film. It's good!

All in all the director should have done a better job by consulting more about Ramayana, to find the spark in each character

[nischith-58858 · 6/10 · 18 June 2023]

This is indeed should have been the best movie but lot of shortfalls.

Character exploration is not at all good, creative freedom is still okay with many incidents taking a new line, but characters should have been introduced much better.

Dialogues again creative freedom is okay, but in the movie Lord rama says to Sitamma just before ravanas act in the forest that "she can go back to ayodya its not too late", but this act of ravana happens in the 13th year of the exile, which makes no sense

At places felt starcast was not right, except for hanuman ji

The only thing i enjoyed with goosebumps moments are during the bgm and songs

All in all the director should have done a better job by consulting more about Ramayana, to find the spark in each character, including Lord Ram, Sitamma Hanuman ji, lakshmana, Shabari, vali sugreev, jatayu, ravan,vibhishan, kumbkarana, also inderajeeta son of ravana.

Made a Joke but not the movie

[bhagya-12455 · 1/10 · 18 June 2023]

This is the reason Bollywood and Tollywood is no more important like it was before , because even our YouTubers doesn't make such stupid content !

If you want to support Real Ramayan and Hinduism culture then please don't watch this movie then only we can support our culture!

Cartoons are better than Adipurush,

Ra-one was the only movie that had amazing VFX and direction in terms of technology.

Making movies on such serious stories that has real and emotional connection with the people it's not easy at all this movie's team have made a joke of it,

I must say they'll not make money from this joke #shameondirector.

Most Disheartening

[menonarun-65382 · 1/10 · 18 June 2023]

This movie is disastrous disappointing and disheartening. Om Raut is cult non sense guy. How can he make a mock and joke out of this . Nothing is interesting in the movie. What are these appearances, why do Lankesh has A vampire (bat) as his vehicle when we all know that Sita was captured in Pushpak Vimaan, Why Raghav is wearing leather belts ? Why Shesh always will stand behind Raghav and give negative reviews to him on any situation? Why Bajrang has a 3rd class dialogue delivery with Indrajeet? Why Sugreev , Angad and all did not get the Bajrang like appearances ? Why Indrajeet look like Tattoo artist from South Goa ? Why Ravan's 9 heads are like some book's arranged in a shelf and Why god why ? Why did i watch this movie ? Lord Shri Ram and Hanumanji , please forgive me for watching this movie. Hope Om Raut stops making movies. One smart move that you changed names for all characters and you can later claim its your version of Ramayan and its inspired not remake. Sahi hai. HONESTLY FOLKS, please DON'T waste your money. Biggest torture was i watched it on my birthday yesterday 😌
