Adipurush is not only one of the worst cinematic adaptations of Ramayan ever made, but also a shoddy, and offensive treatment to the parent chronicle of Lord Ramchandra's pastimes in Ayodhya and His 14 years long exile.
There is not a single character that has been seriously presented. The movie makers intention was probably to mock the entire gravity and seriousness of this epic. Dialogues are offensive. I was shocked by what was playing on the screen. What made the makers think that such a non-serious and in fact insulting attempt would be lauded? The sheer assumption that the audience was so uninformed about "Ramayan" as a text is appalling.
Om Raut needs to be introspect of what he has done with the source material like that of Valmikiji's timeless epic, Ramayan. He has completed done away with its "dharmik" essence. No research has been done or at least that is what it looks like. The screenplay is discontinuous and uninteresting. It alters significant events from the Ramayan without any plausible reason. The scenes do not register gracefully. There is legit no emotional connect for characters. Actions scenes have directly been picked up from Hollywood movies. The performances are mediocre to poor, mostly tending towards the latter. One is forced to wonder where did the 700 crores go? What was going on in the minds of the makers when they were writing and directing such a movie? How did the actors agree to be a part of this futile effort for an adaptation? They had the audacity to call this hostile adaptation a "work of devotion"? Seriously?
The lesser is said about other aspects of the movie the better. I already feel like I need to cleanse my eyes after the mess that I watched. Adipurush appears to be a work of hostility and planned insult to Lord Ram and His pastimes. Sadly, the makers of the film (Director Om Raut and writer Manoj Muntashir) promoted it as some monumental effort to glorify Lord Ram. At least, it doesn't come across as that.
