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.
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".
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.
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.

- 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 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."
