The highly anticipated movie ‘Adipurush’ starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan and Sunny Singh has hit theaters and generated mixed reactions from the audience on social media. While many viewers praise the performances of Prabhas and Kriti Sanon in the film, some concerns have been raised regarding the dialogues.

Some viewers have referred to ‘Adipurush’ as a modern take on the Ramayana and have appreciated the overall concept of the film. However, a portion of the audience has expressed disappointment with the dialogues, particularly on social media platforms. Criticism has focused on the film’s extensive use of colloquial language and its departure from the source material.

Social media users have been openly critical of the dialogue, claiming that the film’s attempt to present a modern version of the Ramayana resulted in a significant deviation from the original narrative. They argue that certain dialogues are not in line with expected standards and have expressed their dissatisfaction with phrases such as ‘Baap aur langa laga denge’ (We’ll beat you up) being used in the film.

After attacking Laxman, Indrajit says, ‘One of my friends made this snake you had left longer. Right now the whole box is full.
