Adipurush

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".

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.

"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.

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.

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 .
