Om Raut’s highly anticipated film Adipurush starring South superstar Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan and Sunny Singh, has finally been released in theatres after a long wait. Many expectations were associated with the film since it was announced in 2019.
The makers claimed the film offers a modern interpretation of the Hindu epic Ramayana. When the first trailer was released last year in October received a lukewarm response, and the filmmakers took a step back to refine the visual effects. However, devoted fans of the superstar were enthusiastic about experiencing the film on the big screen.
As Adipurush has now been released in theatres, fans of Prabhas flocked to theatres across the country. It seems Om Raut’s directorial failed to live up to the great expectations set by the fans. Several netizens expressed their displeasure on Twitter through memes and critical discussion, notably in regard to the portrayal of mythological characters and the calibre of the VFX.
Many netizens criticised Prabhas’ appearance in the film as that of Jesus Christ instead of the expected portrayal of Lord Rama. Some even trolled Saif Ali Khan’s depiction of Ravana, with fans commenting that his portrayal resembles an Afghan invader rather than the iconic King Ravana.
Netizens have also complained about Indrajeet’s distinctive tattoos. The poor VFX quality garnered the worst criticism and was singled out as the main issue. Take a look at some of the reactions below:
