Another netizen shared, “#RamMandir is ready and glorious . The #Adipurush song is so Beautiful as the background. These songs will be immortal.” Check out some of the posts here:

Adipurush was released in theatres on June 16, 2023. The film is based on the Hindu mythological epic Ramayana. However, following its release, the film faced immense backlash from the audience for allegedly distorting the epic. People expressed disappointment with the film’s dialogues and portrayal of Ravana and Lord Hanuman. Even though the makers changed the infamous ‘kapda tere baap ka’ dialogue, it made no impact. A plea in the Supreme Court was also filed seeking revocation of CBFC certification of the Om Raut directorial. However, it was rejected by the top court.

Later in November 2023, Adipurush writer Manoj Muntashir finally admitted that the film was ‘wrong’. He was speaking to The Lallantop when he explained that even though the intention behind the film was good, it failed to connect with the audience. “Adipurush is a film which was made with good intentions, but it was wrong, and by accepting this, I will not become small,” he said.
