<p>Prabhas, Kriti Sanon starrer Adipurush has been witnessing good business at the box office despite negative reviews and multiple controversies. The film has reportedly performed well within three days of its release- both the Hindi as well as the Telugu version&nbsp;and has earned Rs 3 billion (USD 3,66,27,441 approx) in its opening weekend itself within India.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sacnilk reported that Adipurush earned Rs 690 million (USD 84,24,313) net in India on Sunday, the third day of its release. The Sunday numbers witnessed 5% growth than Saturday numbers- which pundits feel was a good rise considering the scale of the film and the numerous controversies around it.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Reports state that Adipurush’s total domestic net earnings after three days stand at Rs 2 billion (USD 2,73,47,980 approx). The film has crossed the 1 billion mark in both Hindi and Telugu, with the other versions (Malayalam, Kannada, and Tamil)&nbsp;raking in&nbsp;approximately Rs 4 million.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Overseas too, the film has done well so far, earning around USD 5 million (over Rs 4 million) gross which has totalled the earnings to approximately Rs 3 billion in just the first three days of its release. In fact, Adipurush has surpassed the lifetime earnings of all Indian films released in 2023, except for Pathaan and Ponniyin Selvan 2- which are so far the highest grossers of the year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Controversy around Adipurush</strong><br />
<br />
Helmed by Om Raut, Adipurush stars Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan as Ram, Sita and Ravan respectively. The film is based on the Hindu epic Ramayan. Ever since the film's first poster dropped last year, the film has been courting controversies - from its poster to its depiction of Raavan to now post-release of the film, its controversial dialogues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film has also been banned in Nepal - which is considered the birthplace of Sita.&nbsp;This move came&nbsp;after a specific line in&nbsp;<em>Adipurush,</em>&nbsp;where the prominent <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-kathmandu-mayor-balen-shah-bans-indian-films-amid-row-over-adipurush-dialogues-605821">mythological character Sita</a>&nbsp;referred to as the 'daughter of India', stirred controversy in the region.<br />
<br />
Owing to the severe backlash, the makers have now decided to rewrite some of the controversial dialogues in the film.&nbsp;</p>

"Experimenting with the characters of Ram and Sita is risky in today's time. After all, they are considered sacred in India and given godly status.

Adipurush makers to alter dialogues in the movie after backlash: 'Nothing is beyond the sentiments'

<p>Filmmaker Om Raut's highly anticipated <em>Adipurush</em> has been in the news ever since the film's first look came out in 2022. There have been debates, discussions and controversies around the film's casting and implementation of the epic on the big screen. <em>Adipurush</em> is based on Valmiki's Ramayan, an epic that almost all Indians have grown up reading, watching, or listening to. This is why it becomes difficult to adapt such a well-known story (and exhaustive) into a three-hour film. Does it do justice? Read on to find out.</p>

<p>The story is a known one and Raut, who also serves as the writer of the film, starts off the film where Raghav (Prabhas), Janaki (Kriti Sanon), and Shesh (Sunny Singh) are living in exile. The story also has Lankesh (Saif Ali Khan) who abducts Janaki after his sister Surpanakha faces insult at the hands of Shesh and Raghav. How Raghav and Shesh along with loyal aide Bajrang (Devdatta Nage) and an army of monkeys to wage a war against Lankesh to bring back Janaki forms the rest of the story.</p>

<p>If you set aside the fact that the story is a well-known one and one that you have seen being adapted on screen before, Raut's <em>Adipurush</em> delivers a visual extravaganza. Especially the introduction scene of Lankesh and Raghav. Some may find the depiction of Raavan, aka Lankesh, outlandish, but Raut's interpretation of the antagonist seems interesting.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/scNmYjoR-qM" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Experimenting with the characters of Ram and Sita is risky in today's time. After all, they are considered sacred in India and given godly status. And so Raut takes copious amounts of artistic liberty to reinvent the character of Raavan. The result is GOT's Khal Drogo-meets-Bhansali's Khilji-esque Raavan. With the help of CGI, which helps Khan appear double his size, Lankesh sports a grunge look with a spike hairdo and blue eyes. He is always dressed in black leather and sports a menacing look on his face. His choice of transport is a creature who is a cross between a dragon and Pterodactyl. In fact, Raut borrows heavily from pop culture.</p>

<p>In Prabhas' intro scene, he fights skeletal-faced flying creatures which remind you of dementors from <em>Harry Potter. Adipurush</em> carries plenty of references from&nbsp;<em>Game of Thrones,</em> <em>Harry Potter,</em> and even <em>The Flash.</em></p>

<p><em><img alt="f" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="72fff9ac-8a0e-4ee3-8467-7626af317dff" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-06-16T152337.765.jpg" /></em></p>

<p>Despite a very CGI-enabled premise, the first half is a stretch and you are impatient to move to the actual battle scene. It serves well in the second half and is implemented in an elaborate manner and that's when Adipurush really shines and becomes a visual spectacle.</p>

<p><strong>The makers also play to the gallery. You know that some of the lines have been written to draw in cheers and claps in the film theatres. Some of the dialogues include-&nbsp;"<em>Jo hamari behno ko hath lagayenge, unki lanka laga denge”</em> (We will burn down homes if you trouble our sisters)," "<em>Kapda tere baap ka, tel tere baap ka, jalegi bhi tere baap ki,</em>"(will burn down father's kingdom and ego)&nbsp;"<em>Tu Jaanta hai mera baap kaun hai? (You know who's my father?)</em>"&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Since it has so much VFX,&nbsp;I did feel it limited the scope of performance for the actors. Prabhas looks his part&nbsp;and has limited dialogues, but looms large throughout the film. Similarly, Sanon looks stunning as Sita yet hardly has much scope to act considering her limited screen time and dialogues. Sunny Singh as Laxman has his moments and so does Devdatta Nage as Bajrang.</p>

<p>Vatsal Seth as Indrajit shows spark in his role but the film easily has Saif Ali Khan stealing the show with his evil act as Lankesh. His character is the most fleshed out and Khan doesn't disappoint with his interpretation.</p>

<p><img alt="y" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f06d916c-0b9d-4fcf-8cbd-d1b5b54adfe8" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202023-06-16T152320.524.jpg" /></p>

<p>For purists, <em>Adipurush</em> may appear too experimental as it interprets a few crucial moments of Ramayana in a new way. But if you look at it as a stand-alone film, it tells a story about good vs evil effectively mostly.</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo">&nbsp;</div>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo">It isn't the best film in terms of VFX but serves an audience that perhaps has never watched the Ramanand Sagar version on TV. Let's just say it revises and refreshes your basic knowledge of the epic, and gives you a grunge-looking Raavan.</div>

It isn't the best film in terms of VFX but serves an audience that perhaps has never watched the Ramanand Sagar version on TV. Let's just say it revises and refreshes your basic knowledge of the epic, and gives you a grunge-looking Raavan. Should you be watching Adipurush? You sure will, even if this review discourages you to, no? WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community. Share your stories and opinions with us here.

Adipurush review: Ramayana gets a VFX makeover

<p>Prabhas starrer mythological drama <em>Adipurush</em> has been one of the most talked-about projects ever since its announcement. After a long delay, Om&nbsp;Raut's directorial debut was finally released in theatres today (June 16). The movie features&nbsp;Prabhas as Raghav, Kriti Sanon as Janaki, Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh, Sunny Singh as Shesh, and Devdutta Nage as Hanuman.&nbsp;</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<h2><strong>Twitter reactions&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>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,&nbsp;some netizens were quick to create memes about the movie as they shared their opinion on this VFX-loaded Ramayana movie.&nbsp;</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from the appearance of the characters, some netizens slammed the makers for the cringe-worthy dialogue that they have put in the movie.&nbsp;</p>

<p>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?"</p>

Adipursh in theatres:  Kriti Sanon calls it a must-watch for families

<p>After the upcoming epic action-drama film <em>Adipurush </em>was criticised by Nepalese politician Balen Shah for a statement in the film suggesting Goddess Sita is the "daughter of India", the makers have reportedly removed or modified the dialogue. <em>Adipurush </em>is a cinematic retelling of Valmiki's <em>Ramayana</em>, one of the two major ancient Hindu epics, the other being the <em>Mahabharata</em>. The film&nbsp;stars Prabhas and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles. Shah, who is the 15th mayor of Nepal's capital Kathmandu, had shared on Facebook that unless the slogan "Janki is the daughter of India" in the film Adipurush is considered untrue not only in Nepal but also in India, no Hindi film would be permitted to be screened in the Kathmandu Metropolitan City.&nbsp;</p>

Sita's birthplace dialogue altered in Adipurush following controversy in Nepal

<p>Controversies around the upcoming film <em>Adipurush</em> refuse to die down. Now, the film's director Om Raut is being criticised for his recent action. Raut sparked controversy on social media after a video of him kissing Kriti Sanon, the lead actress in the film, on her cheek went viral. While the gesture seems harmless, it is the premise that many people have raised objections to.<br />
<br />

The city is home to the important Hindu shrine of Tirumala Venkateshwara Temple and other historic temples.<br />
<br />
Controversy erupted when Om Raut and Kriti Sanon visited the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirupati on Wednesday morning. As they were exiting the temple premises, Raut gave Kriti a goodbye kiss on her cheek as she left in her car. The gesture has not gone down well with certain people including Ramesh Naidu Nagothu, the BJP State Secretary in Andhra Pradesh.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“Is it really necessary to bring your antics to a sacred place? Engage in public displays of affection, like kissing and hugging in front of the Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple in Tirumala is deemed disrespectful and unacceptable," tweeted Nagothu but later deleted the tweet.&nbsp;</p>

Director Om Raut refrained from commenting on the viral video but wrote on social media about his visit to the temple. “After coming to the temple, I feel extremely amazing. It felt nice.

<p>Prabhas starrer <em>Adipurush </em>is all set to have its world premiere at Tribeca Festival in New York. The film also stars Kirti Sanon, Sunny Singh and Saif Ali Khan in key roles. The film has been helmed by Om Raut and produced by Bhushan Kumar.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The magnum opus <em>Adipurush </em>is about to release in a few months and audiences are very excited to see the national award-winning director, Om Raut's depiction of the Hindu mythological story&nbsp;Ramayana being adapted for the big screen.<br />
<br />
Produced by Bhushan Kumar, the team has now announced that not only the Indian diaspora but the world will witness the grandeur of Indian history and culture. The movie will have its World Premiere in New York on 13th June at the Tribeca Festival, which is taking place from June 7-18th. The movie will release in India and globally on June 16.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The ambitious project was initially scheduled to release in January and then in April but was eventually pushed to June.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ever since the first teaser of the film dropped on social media in 2022, there has been a certain section on social media that has raised objections over the film, alleging that the film hurts religious sentiments. There have been demands for a ban on the film which was set to release in January 2023.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Most have raised objections to the way Raavan's character looks in the film. Actor Saif Ali Khan is set to play the character in the film who is the main antagonist of the film. "How Ravana has been depicted is absolutely wrong and condemnable. Through the media, we demand an immediate ban on the film," said the head priest of Ram Temple in Ayodhya Satyendra Das to the press at an event in October 2022.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Objection and disappointment were also expressed over the film`s poor VFX and the unrealistic look of various characters including Saif`s Raavan. Seeing Saif donning short spiked hair, a long beard, and kohl-lined eyes, several netizens have compared the actor`s look in the film with that of Ranveer Singh's Alauddin Khilji in&nbsp;<em>Padmavat</em>&nbsp;rather than Raavan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In India, Hindus celebrate Ram Navami as the birth anniversary of lord Ram.</p>

<p>Adipurush, directed by Om Raut is produced by T- Series, Bhushan Kumar &amp; Krishan Kumar, Om Raut, Prasad Sutar and Rajesh Nair of Retrophiles.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Controversy around Adipurush</h2>

<p>Ever since the first teaser of the film dropped on social media in 2022, there has been a certain section on social media that has raised objections over the film, alleging that the film hurts religious sentiments. There have been demands for a ban on the film which was set to release in January 2023.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Most have raised objections to the way Raavan's character looks in the film. Actor Saif Ali Khan is set to play the character in the film who is the main antagonist of the film. "How Ravana has been depicted is absolutely wrong and condemnable. Through the media, we demand an immediate ban on the film," said the head priest of Ram Temple in Ayodhya Satyendra Das to the press at an event in October 2022.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
He said <em>Adipurush</em>, a big-budget adaptation of the Ramayana and directed by Om Raut of <em>Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior</em>&nbsp;fame, doesn't show Lord Rama and Hanuman as mentioned in the epic either and hence goes against their dignity.</p>

<p>Objection and disappointment were also expressed over the film`s poor VFX and the unrealistic look of various characters including Saif`s Raavan. Seeing Saif donning short spiked hair, a long beard, and kohl-lined eyes, several netizens have compared the actor`s look in the film with that of Ranveer Singh's Alauddin Khilji in <em>Padmavat</em> rather than Raavan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Owing to the controversies, the makers had then later pushed the release date to April 2023 until it was finally changed to June 2023.&nbsp;</p>

Adipurush first poster out! Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Sunny Singh to recreate Ramayan on the big screen

<p>Is another B-town couple getting hitched? Rumours have been rife for the past few days that Prabhas and Kriti Sanon are all set to get engaged in Maldives in the coming week. The 'Adipurush' stars have been linked to each other for a while now and even though Sanon has earlier denied dating Prabhas, the rumours around their relationship refuse to die down. Now, the internet is buzzing with the news of their engagement.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, however, a source close to Prabhas clarified the news and stated that there was no truth to it. "There is absolutely no truth to the stories doing rounds and it's just a figment of someone's imagination. Both Prabhas and Kriti are co-stars and anything that suggests otherwise shouldn't be believed. "<br />
<br />
While there were rumours of the two dating for while, it gained more prominence when actor Varun Dhawan, Kriti's co-star in 'Bhediya' teased her on the sets of the dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa'. Dhawan hinted that Kriti is dating her 'Adipurush' co-star but shied away from naming him.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
During the show, Varun had said, "<em>Kriti ka naam isiliye nahi tha kyunki Kriti ka naam kisi ke dil me hai. Ek aadmi hai jo Mumbai me nahi hai, vo iss waqt shooting kar raha hai Deepika Padukone ke saath</em> (Kriti's name is not here because her name is in someone's heart. That man is not in Mumbai because right now he is shooting with Deepika Padukone)."<br />
<br />
Kriti Sanon later clarified in an Instagram story that the "rumours are absolutely baseless."</p>

<p>"Its neither Pyaar, nor PR. Our Bhediya just went a little too wild on a reality show. And his fun banter lead to some Howl-arious rumours. Before some portal announces my wedding date-let me burst your bubble. The rumours are absolutely baseless," read Kriti Sanon's statement.<br />
<br />
Prabhas and Kriti Sanon will star together in 'Adipurush' which is being helmed by Om Raut. The film also features Sunny Singh and Saif Ali Khan in key roles. 'Adipurush' will release in theatres on June 16.</p>

Prabhas and Kriti Sanon to get engaged in Maldives? Here's the truth

<p>Indian film star <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/prabhas-first-look-as-lord-rama-from-adipurush-revealed-521144">Prabhas</a></strong>, best known for the 'Baahubali' franchise, has finally broken his silence on the rumours about his relationship with Kriti Sanon, his co-star in the upcoming epic mythological drama film 'Adipurush'. For a couple of months now rumours of the alleged relationship have been swirling around the internet and social media, and they have refused to die down even after Sanon denied the existence of the relationship. During an appearance on the show 'Unstoppable With NBK 2', Prabhas said, "It’s old news, sir. There was also a clarification from the ‘madam’ that there was no such thing."</p>

<p>When he was asked about his plans for marriage, he said, "No idea, sir. I don’t know yet. I will definitely get married, but it’s not written in my destiny yet."</p>

<p>It was Varun Dhawan, who played the main role opposite Sanon in 'Bhediya', who can be termed the culprit of this whole mess. During Sanon's appearance on the dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' to promote 'Bhediya', Dhawan hinted that Sanon and Prabhas may be in a relationship. While speaking to Karan Johar, he was talking about why Sanon's name was not on a particular list. To which Dhawan said (translated from Hindi), "Kriti's name was not there in the list because her name is in somebody's heart."</p>

Netizens have been bashing the makers of the much-awaited film 'Adipurush' ever since its trailer dropped online. The film has been criticised harshly by the audience over the quality of its VFX and visuals. Seeing the response from the critics, the makers have now decided to give the film some more time so that their production team can work on delivering a better visual experience. Taking to Twitter on Monday, director Om Raut shared that the Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer will now release on June 16, 2023, instead of January 12. And, the decision has been made to "give a complete visual experience to the viewers" and "give more time to the teams working on the film". The director shared a note on Twitter, which read, "Jai Shri Ram. Adipurush is not a film, but a representation of our devotion to Prabhu Shri Ram and commitment towards our sanskriti and history. In order to give a complete visual experience to the viewers, we need to give more time to the teams working on the film. (sic)" "We are committed to make a film that India will be proud of. Your support, love and blessings is what keeps us going. - Om Raut. Adipurush will now release on June 16th, 2023," the note further read. जय श्री राम…#Adipurush releases IN THEATRES on June 16, 2023.#Prabhas #SaifAliKhan @kritisanon @mesunnysingh #BhushanKumar #KrishanKumar @vfxwaala @rajeshnair06 #ShivChanana @manojmuntashir @TSeries @RETROPHILES1 @UV_Creations @Offladipurush pic.twitter.com/kXNnjlEsib — Om Raut (@omraut) November 7, 2022 Also read: Nick Carter breaks down as Backstreet Boys pay tribute to his late brother Aaron Carter at London show The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Prabhas and Kriti Sanon in lead roles and Sunny Singh and Devdatta Nage in supporting roles.

Prabhas-starrer 'Adipurush' gets new release date, Om Raut says 'need more time' after VFX backlash

<br />
The film was set to release on January 12, 2023, but it seems that the release has been pushed by a few months.</p>

<p>Latest reports suggest that makers are thinking of pushing back the release of 'Adipurush tro avoid box office clash with Chiranjeevi starrer Waltair Veeraya' and NBK's 'Veera Simha Reddy.' There are also other&nbsp;big-budget Tamil films like Ajith's 'Thunivu' and Vijay's 'Varisu' that are up for release and makers of 'Adipurush' reportedly want to avoid a clash with any of these films.<br />
<br />
Rumours are rife that makers have now decided tp push the release of 'Adipurush' to April 2023. Trad analyst Girish Johar tweeted, "Strrrrrrong #TradeBuzz or inside rumour that #Adipurush bows out of its plans of being a Sankranti release.

Prithviraj Sukumaran’s first look from Prabhas starrer 'Salaar' revealed

<p>Prabhas starrer 'Adipurush' has faced a huge backlash ever since the teaser of the film came out. &nbsp;Netizens have slammed the makers over the poor CGI, VFX work and the wrong representation of the deities. However, now an animation studio has come out slamming the makers for copying their work.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Some eagle-eyed netizens caught an uncanny resemblance between the 'Adipurush' poster and another picture&nbsp;featuring Lord Shiva. Sharing a collage of both the poster, they wrote, "Looks like makers inspired Adipurush first look poster from Lord Shiva still&nbsp;(sic)."</p>

<p>Soon after the poster went viral, a&nbsp;studio named Vanarsena came forward alleging that the makers have copied their original work by sharing&nbsp;a collage&nbsp;of&nbsp;the 'Adipurush' poster and Lord Shiva.<br />

Sharing a collage picture on their Instagram account, the studio wrote in the now deleted post “Such a shame T-Series films, should mention the original creator who developed the artwork,'' as per Indian Express.&nbsp;<br />

However, the studio is not planning to take any legal action against the production of the film. ''It’s disappointing to see our work being copied like this. But over the years, it’s happened so many times that it’s just funny at this point. We don’t see the point of fighting this as we’d rather focus on bringing you guys awesome content and continue on building that road.

Is 'Adipurush' poster featuring Prabhas copied? Animation studio claims so

<p>On Sunday, during the Hindu festival of Navratri, the teaser of the upcoming Hindi film 'Adipurush' was unveiled on social media. Starring actors Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon in the lead, the film is based on the epic, 'Ramayan'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Ever since the first trailer of the film dropped on social media, there has been a certain section on social media that has raised objections over the film, alleging that the film hurts religious sentiments. There have been demands for a ban on the film which is set to release in January 2023.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
<strong>What is the controversy around 'Adipurush'?</strong><br />
<br />
Most have raised objections to the way Raavan's character looks in the film. Actor Saif Ali Khan is set to play the character in the film who is the main antagonist of the film. "The way in which Ravana has been depicted is absolutely wrong and condemnable. Through the media, we demand an immediate ban on the film," said the head priest of Ram Temple in Ayodhya Satyendra Das to the press at an event recently.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
He said 'Adipurush', a big budget adaptation of the Ramayana and directed by Om Raut of 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior' fame, doesn't show Lord Rama and Hanuman as mentioned in the epic either and hence goes against their dignity.<br />
<br />
BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj said that the film makes a mockery of Hindu deities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Raavan looks like a Muslim invader in the film while Hanuman`s image has been distorted beyond recognition which is highly condemnable. Filmmakers think they can get away with any level of cinematic liberty. This cannot be permitted," he said at another event soon after the teaser was unveiled.<br />
<br />
Mahant Satyendra Das, the chief priest of Ram Janmabhoomi temple, said, "No one can be allowed to misrepresent the Hindu mythology and distort the image of Hindu gods and goddesses."<br />
<br />
Sunil Raj of Hindu Rashtra Sena, a fringe outfit, said that the film's teaser also portrays Sita in a poor light. "She looks more like a film heroine than a goddess. We will not allow the film to get a release." Kriti Sanon plays Sita in 'Adipurush'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
People have also expressed disappointment over the film`s poor VFX and the unrealistic look of various characters including Saif`s Raavan. Seeing Saif donning short spiked hairs, a long beard, and kohl lined&nbsp;eyes, several netizens have compared the actor`s look in the film with that of Alauddin Khilji rather than Raavan.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Call for a ban on the film</strong><br />
<br />
Amid controversies, Keshav Prasad Maurya, the deputy CM of Uttar Pradesh - a state in North India- has said that the film should be corrected before its January 2023 release.<br />
<br />
Speaking to a news agency Maurya said, "First of all I want to wish everyone a very Happy Dussehra, I haven`t watched the teaser of `Adipurush` yet, but in any case, films that hurt religious sentiments should not be supported, that`s wrong.It needs to be corrected and presented properly."<br />
<br />
"If you hurt the religious sentiments, then all the believers will not accept such things. And I also believe this, if such kind of film is being made then it needs to be corrected before presenting it in front of the audience,"he added.<br />
<br />
Earlier BJP spokesperson Malavika Avinash said, "I am saddened by the fact that the director let alone researching the Valmiki`s Ramayana, Kamba Ramayana or Tulsidasa`s Ramayana, or the umpteen numbers of interpretations of Ramayana that are available across board as far as Thailand where they do beautiful performances of the Ramayana. The least he could have done is research our own films; there are so many Kannada films, Telugu films, Tamil films, which show how Raavana looked."<br />
"He could have just looked up NT Rama Rao or Dr Rajkumar in `Bhookailasa` or any of these great actors, SV Ranga Rao in `Sampoorna Ramayana`, to understand how Raavana looked. The Raavana in the photograph that I see floating around is a guy who looks nothing Indian, who has blue eye makeup and is wearing leather jackets. This is our history they are representing; they cannot do it in the guise of creative liberty," she continued.<br />
<br />
<strong>The director of 'Adipurush' reacts</strong><br />
<br />
The film has been helmed by Om Raut who has reacted to the controversy surrounding his film. Raut felt that his film was too massive to be contained for mobile viewing.&nbsp;<br />
Speaking to a daily, Raut said, "I was disheartened for sure, not surprised because the film is made for a larger medium, the big screen. You can cut it down to some extent but can`t bring it down to a mobile phone."</p>

<p>"That`s an environment I can`t control. Given a choice, I`d never put it on YouTube but that`s the need of the hour. We need to put it there so that it reaches a wide audience," Raut further added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film, which features Prabhas as Lord Ram, Saif Ali Khan as the Raavan, Kriti Sanon as Sita and Sunny Singh in lead roles, is set to debut in theatres on January 12, 2023, in several languages.</p>

'Adipurush' controversy: Why do certain people want Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan starrer film to be banned

<p>Prabhas starrer&nbsp;mythological&nbsp;drama 'Adipurush' has been one of the most talked-about projects ever since its announcement. After a long wait, the first teaser of the film based on the Hindu epic Ramayana is out now.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Sunday, the teaser was launched in the northern city of India, Ayodhya, which is also the birthplace of Lord Rama. Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and the director of the film Om Raut were present at the mega event held at the banks of the holy river Sarayu.<br />
<br />
As expected, the mythological film which comes from the National Award-winning filmmaker Om Raut is high on VFX and CGI. The teaser starts off by showing the angry side of Lord Ram who is preparing to fight with Lankesh, played by Saif Ali Khan. In the one-minute clip, we also got to see more of Saif's evil character, his blue eyes, and 10 heads - all over his portrayal will surely impress you.&nbsp;</p>

Apart from the main plot that most of us are aware of, the teaser shows the demons flying in the sky, Lord Ram walking in the historic ram-setu with his vanar sena, Saif Ali Khan's character flying over the sky on his dragon-like creature and much more!<br />
<br />
The teaser&nbsp;contains some truly stunning frames and is heavy on CGI and VFX. However, the clip&nbsp;appears cartoonish somewhere, which could dampen the fans' enthusiasm.

But, after watching the teaser,&nbsp;it seemed more like an animated movie and didn't make the effect that was anticipated from the high-budget film.&nbsp;</p>

Om Rout's most anticipated film 'Adipurush' teaser was unveiled during the mega event organised at the banks of sacred river Sarayu in Ayodhya, the birthplace of lord Rama.

Om Rout's most anticipated film 'Adipurush' teaser was unveiled during the mega event organised at the banks of sacred river Sarayu in Ayodhya, the birthplace of lord Rama. The mythological drama has been one of the most anticipated projects that all moviegoers have been waiting for. Ever since the announcement of the film, makers have promised that the movie starring Prabhas as Lord Rama, will be visually spectacular with all the high-cost VFX and CGI work put into it. However, after the teaser was made public, the only thing that cinemagoers got was a big disappointment. Soon after the teaser was released, netizens flocked social media with their negative reactions. Not just VFX or the cartoonish vibe that one minute clip gave, Twitterati also pointed out some serious faults that the teaser had - like Saif Ali Khan's look, weird demons and dragon-like creatures showed in the teaser that also led many to call it a cheap copy of HBO popular series 'Game of Thrones'. Even some users shared stills from 'GOT' that were strikingly similar to the teaser. Hashtags like 'Disappointed Adipurush' and 'Disaster' also become the top trends.

Disappointed netizens call 'Adipurush' teaser a 'cheap copy of Game of Thrones'

<p>The most-anticipated first look of actor Prabhas from his&nbsp;epic drama&nbsp;'Adipurush'&nbsp;is here. The upcoming mythological drama which comes from acclaimed filmmaker Om Raut, will see the 'Baahubali' actor playing the role of Lord Rama and Saif Ali Khan as the main antagonist named Lankesh.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Friday, the first look of Prabhas as Lord Rama was released and it will surely take the excitement of the fans a notch higher. The new&nbsp;poster features Prabhas in an intense avatar of Lord Rama.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Decked up in&nbsp;the ancient period&nbsp;attire,&nbsp;the actor is sitting on his knees while he points a bow and arrow into the sky. Along with the poster, the actor also revealed that the teaser will be out on October 2. The visuals of the poster in the background are stunning.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Prabhas has truly created examples with the mega-success of the Baahubali franchise while leaving a strong mark on the hearts of the audience. It was never an easy part for the star to pave upon. From intense workouts to a rigorous diet plan, the actor has given his life to the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Prabhas's body in Baahubali was truly a trendsetter. With his hard training to a tough diet plan, the actor managed to pull off a kind of physique that nobody has ever imagined. The makers of Baahubali have gifted Prabhas gym equipment worth Rs 1.5 crore to get beefed up for his role in the film which was monitored by professional bodybuilder Laxman Reddy. The regular diet plan of the Rebel Star consisted of fish, egg whites, vegetables, and almonds. The actor took six meals every day and his diet didn’t include rice. The total calorie intake of Prabhas while shooting for Baahubali was between 2000 to 4000 calories a day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As revealed by Mr. Reddy, Prabhas weighed some 100 kilos for playing the part of Amarendra Baahubali but his role as Shivudu, as seen in Baahubali: The Beginning, required him to sport a toned body. "As Baahubali, Prabhas had to build a lot of muscle and for the son's character, Shivudu, he had to look lean. His physique fluctuated for more than four years; that was difficult. Prabhas weighed almost 100 kgs with his body fat percentage staying in the range of 9-10. For the younger character, he had to build a toned body with minimal muscles,".</p>

<p>Prabhas' training regime, shooting schedule, and diet for Baahubali: The Beginning and its sequel were an absolute contrast, revealed Mr. Reddy. "He would have six meals with egg whites, chicken, nuts, almonds, fish and vegetables thrown in. For Baahubali prep, he had eight meals a day, carb-heavy with cheese and mutton. In the evenings, we had weight training sessions, which included deadlifts, squats, bench press, and other rigorous exercises," added Mr. Reddy.</p>

<p>Moreover, During an interview in the Past, Mr. Reddy said, "He would shoot for hard-core stunts and by the end of it, be tired, but never missed workout. There were days when we would start exercising at midnight. His dedication was amazing,".&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the release of Baahubali: The Beginning in 2015 the hard work paid off when the film went on to collect ₹ 650 Cr. worldwide and also won the National Award for Best Feature Film</p>

If you`re waiting to see Kiara Advani opposite Prabhas in Sandeep Reddy Vanga`s `Spirit`, then you have to wait a little longer. On Monday, Kiara`s spokesperson has denied the rumours that the actor has been roped in to share the screen space with Prabhas in the film.

If you`re waiting to see Kiara Advani opposite Prabhas in Sandeep Reddy Vanga`s `Spirit`, then you have to wait a little longer. On Monday, Kiara`s spokesperson has denied the rumours that the actor has been roped in to share the screen space with Prabhas in the film. "In the wake of recent reports and speculations about Sandeep Reddy Vanga`s upcoming film starring Prabhas, Kiara Advani`s spokesperson would like to clear the air about the matter. Kiara has not been approached for the film nor has there been any conversation about the same. In case of any update, we would officially announce and inform everyone. Hence, kindly request everyone to refrain from indulging in the rumours," the spokesperson informed. Meanwhile, Kiara is currently busy promoting her film `Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2`, which also stars Kartik Aaryan and Tabu. `Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2` is set to hit the theatres on May 20. The film is a sequel to the 2007 hit of the same name that starred Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan in lead. On the other hand, Kiara recently shared a series of posters from her upcoming project 'Jug Jugg Jeeyo' opposite Varun Dhawan, which is directed by Raj and produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, and Apoorva Mehta.

Kiara Advani not a part of Prabhas starrer 'Spirit', confirms actor's spokesperson

Vikramaditya, our hero in this Tsunami of a film, can tell the future. He reads&nbsp;Mrs Gandhi's (yes THE Mrs G's) palm with a monkish calm and declares that she would soon declare an emergency in the country. The&nbsp;&nbsp;onscreen Mrs G&nbsp;raises an&nbsp;eyebrow into her&nbsp;shrub of whitened hair and asks&nbsp;&nbsp;Vikramaditya, ‘Do you&nbsp;even know what you are saying?’<br />
<br />
This is&nbsp;exactly the question that comes&nbsp;to mind many times&nbsp;as one sits transfixed to the very strange goings-on in&nbsp;'Radhe Shyam'. Is this&nbsp;bird or&nbsp;a plane or pain in the nether regions?</p>

<p>Tell tell. What is this meant to be? Prabhas the&nbsp;superstar&nbsp;who can&nbsp;do no wrong, says it is a “pure” love story. But sorry, there is nothing pure about&nbsp;the&nbsp;style in which writer-director Radha Krishna&nbsp;Kumar has mounted his monumentally misfired romance, so off-kilter&nbsp;it will put you off palmistry and all things mistry including chemistry, palmistry and Amit Mistry for all times to come.</p>

Yes, I am trying to be facetious. It is&nbsp;a survival&nbsp;instinct I use when I am in deep pain. Like losing a&nbsp;loved&nbsp;one to Covid. Or&nbsp;watching a&nbsp;film so unbearably&nbsp;self-important&nbsp;and so laughably&nbsp;intent&nbsp;on&nbsp;being intense that&nbsp;the whole&nbsp;endeavour seems designed&nbsp;to&nbsp;bring down every&nbsp;love trope that you have ever seen in any film on love from 'Romeo &amp; Juliet' to 'Love Aaj Kal'.</p>

By the way, 'Radhe Shyam' is&nbsp;not 'Love Aaj Kal'. It is love in the 1970s set in the mongrelized imagination&nbsp;of&nbsp;some strange art designer who&nbsp;suggests&nbsp;a&nbsp;marriage&nbsp;of baroque with&nbsp;plastic. The&nbsp;costumes are largely gauzy gowns for&nbsp;Pooja Hedge&nbsp;and light polo necks with&nbsp;tight trousers&nbsp;for Prabhas accompanied&nbsp;by several accessories&nbsp;like scarves belts, a&nbsp;brooch,&nbsp;antique phone sets and fancy crockery that suggest&nbsp;an affluent lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Sadly the&nbsp;frames convey a sterile emptied-out&nbsp;feeling as if&nbsp;the art designer and&nbsp;other technicians&nbsp;had built a lifesize doll’s house with Barbie emotions to match. Prabhas and&nbsp;Ms Hegde whisper sweet-nothings, literally, to one&nbsp;another: it's all about posing posturing and&nbsp;masquerading.</p>

<br />
This is&nbsp;all a masquerade&nbsp;of&nbsp;real love, with&nbsp;highfalutin&nbsp;ideas on&nbsp;destiny&nbsp;impinging on the&nbsp;immaculate&nbsp;artificiality&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;going-on like&nbsp;a dollop of&nbsp;homemade honey&nbsp;thrown over a messy gooey melting&nbsp;mound of factory-made chocolate ice cream. The lead players&nbsp;look&nbsp;completely uninvolved with one&nbsp;another&nbsp;and&nbsp;with the ersatz&nbsp;intensity and&nbsp;intimacy that&nbsp;the storytelling generates like&nbsp;electric fire logs, with leaping flames that are just for show.<br />
<br />
As for the supporting cast, some&nbsp;good actors like&nbsp;Sachin Khedekar, Sathyaraj and Jagapathi Babu are reduced to&nbsp;mere caricatures.&nbsp;The hospital where&nbsp;a part of the&nbsp;drama unfolds&nbsp;resembles a museum&nbsp;in transition&nbsp;with every&nbsp;disease from hypochondria&nbsp;to cancer&nbsp;converted into&nbsp;comic relief.<br />
<br />
In the end, only one of the&nbsp;two love birds is&nbsp;destined to live. And we really&nbsp;don't&nbsp;care which one&nbsp;it is.</p>
