Prabhas-starrer Adipurush, directed by Om Raut, has finally made its worldwide theatrical debut. With high expectations surrounding this mythological film, initial reports and the opinions of netizens on social media are delivering a disappointing verdict.
One of the major criticisms aimed at Adipurush revolves around its narrative. Om Raut took the classic tale of Ramayana and attempted to modernize it, a move that has not been well-received by certain sections of the audience.
Many viewers expressed their inability to connect with the altered proceedings, ultimately dampening their overall experience. Additionally, the film’s poor execution of visual effects has also been a subject of scrutiny and negative feedback.
Adding fuel to the fire, a video featuring renowned director SS Rajamouli has emerged on social media. In the clip, Rajamouli draws a comparison between Rama’s character in Ramayana and the protagonist, Amarendra Baahubali, in his Baahubali series.
He highlights how Rama’s persona is elevated through the presence of strong and mass-oriented characters like Hanuman and Lakshmana. This analogy has garnered significant attention online, leading to further criticism of Om Raut’s Adipurush. Overall, Adipurush’s release has been met with mixed reviews and disappointment.
The film’s altered narrative and subpar visual effects have contributed to the negative reception among audiences. As comparisons are drawn to SS Rajamouli’s masterful visual storytelling, the backlash towards Om Raut and Adipurush continues to grow. It remains to be seen how the film fares in the coming days and if any adjustments will be made to address the criticisms.
