Besides a soulful score by Ajay Atul, this adaptation of Ramayana is a baffling and collosal dissapointment.
My Rating : 15/100
Adipurush is a disgusting mockery of a beloved and celebrated chapter of Indian Mythology. Baring the intimidating Sharad Kelkar's voice and Ajay Atul's profound score, nothing really clicks in this modern adaptation. Om Raut's precarious attempt is a monumental disaster in every aspects of filmaking. Starting from the caricaturish character design of Raavan, cartoonish rendering of the banar sena , cringe dialogues & hurried screenplay everything forces us to bash this misfire. Some salvageable performanaces by Kriti Sanon and Devdatta Nage isnt quite enough to save this project. A mere cash-grabbing project with no acknowledgement of the source material , relying only to play with the Indian sentiments is the prime idea behind this.
A proper case of poor casting, whoever decided to cast the stone faced Prabhas to portray the vibrant character of Ram should be easily disbanded from his casting career. A complete misfit as he stirs through with no expressions on his face. Entire film is shot in dark, in order to hide the already flawed CGI. Thor's Asgard is colour graded to black and they have the new Lanka. Wtf are you serious Om Raut? The entire films goes by and i couldn't find anything which i could have related or brought back home. A tiring adaptation to say the least.
Overall, if you wish to see this film even if you re a Prabhas fan, you will be largely dissapointed. Only Prasanth Neel's Salaar can revive his degrading career. My suggestion would be to skip this in Theatres and show your kids the Yugo Sako animated version of The Legend of Prince Rama or Ramanand Sagar's version if ever you want them to learn this beautiful epic.
