Adipurush

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.

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...

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, 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 .

"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.
