Featured reviews
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.
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.
First and foremost, the screenplay is an absolute mess. The story lacks coherence and fails to engage the audience from the beginning. The pacing is all over the place, making it difficult to connect with the characters or understand their motivations. It feels like the scriptwriters were more interested in creating visually stunning scenes rather than crafting a compelling narrative.
The performances in Adipurush are equally underwhelming. The lead actors deliver lackluster performances, failing to bring depth or emotional resonance to their characters. Their dialogue delivery feels forced and unnatural, making it challenging to empathize with them or invest in their journey. Even seasoned actors seem lost in their roles, unable to salvage the poorly written and developed characters.
Another major letdown is the film's visual effects. Considering the massive budget allocated to Adipurush, one would expect cutting-edge special effects and breathtaking action sequences. However, what we get is a subpar display of CGI that looks artificial and unconvincing. The battle scenes lack intensity and fail to generate any excitement or thrill. It's a missed opportunity to create awe-inspiring visuals that could have elevated the movie.
Furthermore, the direction and editing leave much to be desired. The director seems unsure of the tone and style of the film, resulting in a disjointed and inconsistent experience. Transitions between scenes are jarring, and the overall flow of the movie feels disjointed and confusing. It's as if the filmmakers were more concerned with style over substance, neglecting the basic principles of storytelling.
Ultimately, Adipurush falls short of its lofty expectations. With a weak screenplay, uninspired performances, lackluster visual effects, questionable direction, and forgettable music, it fails to deliver on any front. It's a disappointment for fans who were eagerly awaiting a grand cinematic experience. Save your time and money and opt for other, more deserving films instead.
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.
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.

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 versionsAfter 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."
