As a Ramayana 몭lm, "Adipurush" has generated signi몭cant buzz, with many people curious
to see how Prabhas 몭ts into the role of Lord Ram. Consequently, the 몭lm has garnered a lot
of hype in the past couple of weeks.
Let us now examine its merits and demerits.

2. commanding presence perfectly suits the character. Om Raut presents Lord Rama as a
warrior prince, showcasing his more aggressive side, making Prabhas an ideal choice for
the role.
Kriti Sanon delivers an adequate performance as Janaki. Despite having limited screen
time, she performs her part well.
Saif Ali Khan initially portrays Raavana convincingly, but as the 몭lm progresses, the
character's portrayal veers more towards that of a superhero rather than the traditional
Raavana.
Devadatta Nage stands out as Hanuman, delivering a stellar performance that 몭ts his
character perfectly.
Sonal Chauhan makes a cameo appearance as Ravan's wife Mandodari, while Trupti
Toradmal's portrayal of Soorpanaka is satisfactory.
Technical Excellence:
The outstanding songs composed by Ajay-Atul greatly contribute to the 몭lm's overall
strength. The skillful implementation of the song "Jai Shri Ram" in the background score
enhances the drama in numerous scenes.
The music department emerges as the greatest strength of this epic drama. However, the
visual effects and 3D effects fall short, as the background and other objects appear
strange. The visual effects in the war sequences during the second half are particularly
disappointing.
Highlights:

Drawback:
The lengthy war scene in the second half
Dark tone of the 몭lm

Poor VFX
No devotional feel
Analysis
The "Ramayana" epic is a fundamental part of Indian culture and is known by all. It is deeply
ingrained in our traditions and way of life. Director Om Raut had the intention to update this
epic tale to appeal to today's young audience by employing innovative cinematic
approaches. However, despite his good intentions, Om Raut lacks the expertise to bring his
plan to fruition.
Om Raut chose to focus on a speci몭c section of the Valmiki Ramayanam, starting in the
middle of its original telling. The 몭lm begins with the Soorpanaka tale, which occurs during
Ram and Sita's exile, and concludes with the battle between Ram and Ravana. Om Raut
aimed to zero in on the Ramayanam's 'Yuddhakanda' (the war episode).
The initial part highlights Raavana's admirable traits and his devotion to Lord Shiva, while
the latter part depicts Soorpanaka's nose being severed, Sita's abduction, Hanuman's arrival,
and Ram's construction of the sethu. Therefore, the 몭rst half of the 몭lm offers a wealth of
material. Despite some cheesy CGI and a peculiar depiction of Ravana's Lanka, the 몭rst half
of the 몭lm is still watchable for this reason.
However, the second half of the 몭lm devolves into a standard, action-heavy fare reminiscent
of the Hollywood superhero genre. The entire second half consists of an extensive and
unending battle between Ram and Ravana, lacking any emotional depth. Furthermore, the
visual effects are, to put it mildly, substandard. In many instances, their poor quality hinders
our ability to truly enjoy the experience.
Surprisingly, Om Raut, who typically handles VFX-heavy productions like "Tanhaji," seems to

3. struggle in this 몭lm. The dialogues are also ineffective.
Telugu audiences have witnessed better mythological 몭lms in the past, with a long history
of producing fantastic 몭lms based on the Mahabharata and Ramayana. Hence, Om Raut's
depiction of Lanka and Ravana's characterization falls drastically short. Lanka's world
appears as if it is from a science 몭ction 몭lm, and it is puzzling why Raavana walks with a
limp.
While it is acceptable to reimagine a popular work and present it in a new way, Om Raut
made a signi몭cant mistake by transforming a magni몭cent epic into a gaudy superhero 몭lm
lacking emotion or intriguing material.
The highlight of the 몭lm is Prabhas and the music, but the rest of it falls short.
Overall, "Adipurush" is a distorted retelling of the Ramayana that lacks emotion. While it
provides some moments of theatrical experience and Prabhas 몭ts well as Lord Ram, it does
not succeed if you are seeking a devotional feel or an experience of a VFX-rich 몭lm.
Bottom line: Hey Ram
