      A Cringe-worthy Adaptation

      "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.

      Waste of time and money.

      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.

      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.

      Made a Joke but not the movie

      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.

      Worst Ramayan adaptation with worst actor to play Lord Ram

      Prabhas looks absolutely ugly in the movie which is very distracting even if I try to enjoy this movie as a movie for children. Lots of CGI has been used just to make him look young and fit. Ravan and his brothers look younger than Lord Ram which is stupid. These Rakshasas were conquering world even before Lord Ram was born. It seems like our revered God's character was butchered for the sake of a lazy superstar who has accidentally hit on the box office draw.

      Movie is bad. The vision and the portrayal of characters which we have seen since childhood doesn't fit here. Even though I am all for allowing multiple interpretation, here it doesn't come well.

      • Quotes

        Shesh: You are the prince of Ayodhya. On your single command, an entire army would come to our rescue.

        Raghav: No, Shesh. I cannot do that. Because it is against the principles of Dharma or Virtue.

        Shesh: Is upholding the principles of Dharma more important to you than saving Bhabhi Maa?

        Raghav: In Janaki lies my very life. But, upholding the principles of Dharma is more precious to me than my life itself.

      • Alternate versions
        After a huge controversy erupted over Lord Hanuman's (Bajrang's) dialogue in Lanka, the makers revised his dialogues. The new dialogues replaced the word "baap" with "Lanka."
