Adipurush is based on Ramayan and has been produced by T Series. The film has been made on a budget of 500 crores and Om Raut has directed it. The film is out now and read our review here.
Plot
Raghava(Prabhas) and Janaki(Sita) are in exile and live in the forest. One fine day, Ram’s brother, Lakshman cuts off Raavan’s sister, Soorphanaka’s nose, and this angers Raavan(Saif Ali Khan). He then comes in disguise and kidnaps Sita. Ram comes to know of this and wages far against the might of Raavan and brings Sita back. Well, how did he do all that is the basic story of Adipurush?
Performances
Adipurush is more of Saif Ali Khan and Hanuman’s film. Both the character of Hanuman and Raavan are highlighted and the actors do a solid job. The rest of the cast is weak and most of them are VFX animals. Kriti Sanon as Sita is beautiful but she does not get time to enact much or share screen time.
Last but not least, Prabhas plays lord Ram in the film. But you will get a feeling that his VFX body rather than the original is being showcased. Prabhas also has less screen time in the film which is also yet another drawback. Most of the time, the star hero is expressionless. Only in action scenes, Prabhas is good. Surely, his fans will be disappointed for showcasing Prabhas in a bad manner look wise.

Analysis
One of the major disadvantages of the film is the lack of emotion. The film has a great story and so much emotion could have been drawn from various characters but that does not happen. There is no emotion in the story and many scenes look soulless. But the action part is amazing and will be loved by the kids for sure.
Om Raut should be credited for making the film to a Hollywood standard. After watching Adipurush, there will be diverse reactions for sure. Some will really like the film whereas others will hate it. Especially, Prabhas fans will be furious for showcasing their star hero in such a silly manner.
Om Raut has made modern-day Ramayana which is filled with VFX. So, all those who go in thinking various chapters of Ramayana will be showcased will be disappointed for sure. The music by Ajay Atul is amazing and is the saving grace of the film. Saif as Raavan is made to look like a joke after a while. The VFX are great but they look overdone in many areas.
The basic idea of Adipurush was to re-create Ramayan but Om Raut has made it into an action drama and kept the theme the same. If you think the film will have a great Story of Ramayana and go to the theaters you will be disappointed. If you think of it as a stylized action drama, Adiprush has all action and no emotion, so you decide whether to give this film a shot or not.
Bottom Line- Only Action No Emotion
