Adipurush has been a subject of constant criticism ever since the film was released yesterday. In just a day, it has been attacked, trolled, targetted, and threatened, all because of the loosely adapted screenplay. Based on Valmiki’s epic Ramayana, considered a holy text for the Hindus, the film has also been held responsible for mocking Hindu culture, hurting Hindu sentiments, and irresponsible presentation of Ramayana.
Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan’s film have been called out for major inaccuracies. Be it the clothing, the dialogues, the VFX, the scenes, the emotions, or the gestures, nothing seems to be working right for the Om Raut film. We have clubbed the reactions and the mistakes in the film to make you understand the blunder that has been pulled off.
However, if you plan to watch Adipurush in the coming days, we suggest you not move further with this story because it contains many spoilers. And also because we would question your sanity if you still decide to watch the film after reading all that has been written below. Scroll down at your own risk! We hope everyone’s speedy recovery after going through this!

Here are the blunders Adipurush has pulled off in the name of creative liberty.
Janaki’s attires
Fans were very quick to notice the mistakes in Adipurush, and while we jot them down, we would again mention that the story contains a lot of spoilers ahead. Adipurush has shown Sita in various attires colored blues, purples, and whites. However, it is a written fact that while the trio Ram, Lakshman, and Sita were in exile, they wore Saffron clothes (gerua vastras). Some even pointed out how Sita has been presented in a s*xy way and compared Kriti Sanon’s Janaki to Ramanand Sagar’s Sita played by Dipika Chikhlia.
This is the difference between our ancient Cultural Mata Sita and Modern day Mata Sita.

Lankesh Heads!
Ravana has ten heads, and we burn his statue every Dussehra to mark the significance of Good Vs Evil. This means that each one of us has seen Ravana and his ten heads all our lives till Om Raut, in the name of creative liberty, decided to present his heads in a uniquely placed, rather bizarre way!
आदिपुरुष एक आपदा फिल्म है

Looks Of the actors
The looks of all the actors have been criticised in the film. While Hanuman’s half beard has been objected to, Saif Ali Khan’s Virat Kohli’s hairstyle has also been questioned. Even a tattooed Meghnaad has made people cringe. Leather chappals and armours were already criticised when the trailer of the film was released.

Zabaan Sambhal Ke!
The dialogues of Adipurush have been trending on the internet, and they are actually problematic especially because Kriti Sanon appealed to parents to take their kids to watch the film. A film which has dialogues like taporis talking!
So these are the pathetic dialogues @omraut
Disgusting facts :
1. We call Sita maa n you portrayed our goddess in what kind of clothes?
2. Raavan was guilty but not chapri like you portrayed him.
3. Sone ki lanka nahi bana sake 600 crores kaha le gye? #AdipurushDisaster pic.twitter.com/Sxa79p3U9m— Abhishek Kabra (@acool167) June 17, 2023
The Pushpak Viman
Pushpak Vimaan was the vehicle for Ravana. He abducted Sita on the same, which has a very it has a vary important place in the story. However, Ravana’s vehicle in Adipurush looked nowhere close to the Pushpak Viman, which irked the netizens.

Sone Ki Lanka?
A black Lanka irked the audience even more. Seems like Om Raut, though why bother when it has to go black once Hanuman sets Lanka on fire?
Maine Toh Suna aur Dekh te Ravan ki Lanka Sone ki @omraut ki Ramayan mein Koyla Ki Lanka Hai

Hanuman’s Pranaam
A user even pointed out how Hanuman does not even greet Sita with folded hands but meets her with the gesture shown in the pic below. However a Japanese film made in 1992 also had Hanuman meeting Sita with folded hands! A reflex for offering respect to elders and Gods.
In the 1992 Japanese anime film
‘Ramayana : The legend of Prince Rama’.Hanuman ji respectfully joins his hands in Pranaam gesture while conversing with Mata Sita.
It seems the Japanese have a better understanding of Indian culture than Bollywood Wokes.#Adipurush #Hanuman ?. pic.twitter.com/VMatW106RA

Scene inaccuracies
Some scenes in Adipurush are inaccurate. The Maya scene where Meghnaad kills a Mayavi Sita is shown in a way where Meghnad slits Sita’s throat, which is nowhere written in Ramayana or Ramcharitmanas. Hence the film has been called out for adopting this horrible creative liberty.
Movie #Adipurush is such an insult of Ramayan.
Showing Jihadi act of throat slitting of Sita by Meghnad.
Extremely offensive movie.#Adipurush #AdipurushDisaster #BoycottAdipurush #BoycottBollywood pic.twitter.com/NJQlvzIeme— Dolaido (@DolaidoTakTak) June 17, 2023
Now that we have talked about so much negativity, we leave you with this endearing scene from another Ramayana, which portrays better emotions than Om Raut’s Adipurush.
This small clip has more emotions than whole #Adipurush scam. pic.twitter.com/it2VlO8NCx

Earlier, it was pointed out that Sita was called the daughter of India in the film, which was later edited after Nepal threatened to ban the film since Sita was born in Nepal’s Janakpur and is considered a National Hero in that country. In another scene, Janaki is seen handing over her choodi to Hanuman as a symbol of her identification to Ram while Devi handed her Choodamani (headgear) to Hanuman in Ramcharitmanas as written in a verse. Hopefully, no more mistakes are to be spotted in the 700-crore budget film!
