Om Raut’s Adipurush stirs meme fest; Twitter erupts with hilarious posts on Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan characters

Prabhas and Kriti Sanon starrer Adipurush released in theatres on Friday worldwide and it saw a huge response from the audiences on the opening day. However, despite all the hype, the movie got mixed reviews from the audiences and critics as it failed to meet the expectations, especially on VFX work.  

Ahead of its release, the film saw a massive advance booking of tickets and reportedly garnered Rs 100 crore.  With such hype around the movie, a big budget and a strong story, there were a lot of expectations by the audiences. However, the expectations went more to the negative side as the VFX work, direction and dialogues could not impress many.  

Famous film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh called the movie an ‘epic disappointment’. He said that despite a huge budget and a dream star cast, director Om Raut failed to deliver a good movie.

Another user commented, "It will run hardly 3 days... and then it’ll get out of the theatre, it’s that bad. Shaktiman VFX is better than this."

The internet is going crazy over the dialogue written and delivered in the film.

A user shared a clip from the movie and wrote, "The Adipurush makers have messed this beyond redemption. After putting such dialogues on our gods, they have put a disclaimer in the film that it isn’t based on Valmiki’s Ramayan. Mocking the Ramayana but also playing legally safe. Ridiculous...Hurful."
