Poster of Adipurush
Prabhas starrer mythological drama Adipurush has been one of the most talked-about projects ever since its announcement. After a long delay, OmRaut's directorial debut was finally released in theatres today (June 16). The movie featuresPrabhas as Raghav, Kriti Sanon as Janaki, Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh, Sunny Singh as Shesh, and Devdutta Nage as Hanuman.
Last year, the first teaser of the movie was released, and it faced a huge backlash over its poor VFX and CGI work and the way they presented the deities in the movie. After delaying the movie by six months, the epic drama has been released in theatres, and it seems like the scenario has not changed at all.
The high-cost VFX and CGI work has been put into the mega-budget movie with the promise that it's one of a kind and the most visually stunning movie ever made. But it seems like the makers have not been able to impress the audience as they promised.
Twitter reactions
After the film was released, reviews started pouring in as moviegoers watched 'first day, first show'. So far, the film has received mixed reviews from the audience. While some liked the movie and the scale on which it was made,some netizens were quick to create memes about the movie as they shared their opinion on this VFX-loaded Ramayana movie.
Slamming the makers for giving a weird look to the mythological characters, netizens flocked to social media with their negative reactions as they expressed their disappointment.

Pointing out the serious faults, users shared their opinion on the modern touch they have given to the characters, whether it was Ravan's hairstyle or the tattoos that the characters have in the movie.

Expressing displeasure over the dialogues, one user tweeted, "*Lanka Dahan Scene* Ravana's son lights up Hanuman's Tail: Jali na... Jiski jalti hai... Bajrang: Kapda tere baap ka. Tel tere baap ka. Aag bhi tere baap ki. Toh jalegi bhi tere baap ki. The makers are proud of these Chapri dialogues? They want kids to see this?"
Another user tweeted, "I am appalled with these dialogues. Atleast respect public sentiments.''
