Adipurush is a dramatic retelling of Ramayana directed by Om Raut of Tanhaji fame. In the wake of flak for its colloquial dialogues, the makers of Adipurush have now revamped selected dialogues.
Adipurush fund
According to a report on Sacnilk.com, Adipurush collected an estimated ₹5.25 crore nett across all languages in India. After a successful opening weekend, the film’s collections took a big dip on Monday and reached almost ₹3.4 crore on Friday, the lowest so far.
He was crossed ₹400 crore in the worldwide gross within days of its release but saw a huge drop as negative word of mouth spread across the country.
The dialogues led to negative word of mouth
From critics to audiences, many have expressed their disappointment over the film’s dialogues like ‘marega bete (you will die)’, ‘bua ka bagicha hain kya (this is your aunt’s garden)’ and ‘jalegi tere baap ki (your father’s kingdom will burn)’. Some of these have now changed. But the changes seem to be too little, too late to save the film.
Gajendra Chauhan hammers the dialogue writer
Dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir, Mahabharat actor Gajendra Chauhan had told India Today, “Yeh girl hui soch ka natija hai (This is a product of low thinking). You write as you think. Manoj Muntashir, who is a lyricist, was given the job of writing dialogues for the film. He has copied things from different sources and made a mess. He is a very selfish person. He has not achieved even an inch of what Rahi Masoom Raza Saab had written in Mahabharat”.
Adipurush also stars Sunny Singh, Devdatta Nage, Vatsal Sheth, Sonal Chauhan, Siddhant Karnick and Tejaswini Pandit. Prabhas plays Raghava, Kriti is in the role of Janaki and Saif Ali Khan plays Lankesh in the film. It has also been criticized for its inappropriate visual effects.
