Adipurush, the much-anticipated film that retells the epic Ramayana, finally hit theaters on January 21, 2023. The film stars Prabhas as Raghav (Rama), Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh (Ravana), and Kriti Sanon as Janaki. It was directed by Om Raut, who previously directed the films Kesari and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.
Adipurush is a visual spectacle, with stunning sets, costumes, and special effects. The action sequences are well-choreographed and exciting. However, the film’s story and characters are not as strong. The dialogue is often cheesy and the characters are one-dimensional.
The film’s biggest problem is that it tries to be too many things at once. It’s a superhero movie, a historical epic, and a religious allegory. As a result, it doesn’t do any of these things particularly well.
Adipurush is a disappointment for fans of the Ramayana who were hoping for a faithful adaptation. However, it may appeal to audiences who are looking for a visually stunning action movie.
Here are some of the critical reviews of the film:
- “Adipurush is a visual spectacle, but it’s let down by its weak story and characters.” – The Times of India
- “A sincere attempt that gets a tad overwhelmed by its ambition of handling a story of this magnitude.” – Times of India
- “This one’s a superhero movie with a religious twist, but it doesn’t quite work.” – The Indian Express
Overall, Adipurush is a mixed bag. It’s a visual spectacle with some exciting action sequences, but it’s let down by its weak story and characters. Fans of the Ramayana may be disappointed, but audiences who are looking for a visually stunning action movie may find something to enjoy.”
