The wait is over. Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer "Adipurush" is released in theatres. Ardent fans have flocked to theatres to watch Om Raut's portrayal of Ramayana in Prabhas-Kriti Sanon starrer Adipurush.
The songs and trailer were well received by the netizens. However, after the release of the teaser netizens slammed the makers for shoddy VFX and cartoonish CGI. The makers then took time to rework the VFX but looks like it was all in vain after watching the entire film. Cinegoers seem to be unhappy and have taken to Twitter to criticise the makers.
The ones who have watched the first-day first-show with sheer enthusiasm have also found several loopholes in the script and have taken to social media and lambasted the makers for not researching enough.
Did the audience fall in love with Adipurush or did they walk out of the screen? Here's what netizens have to say.

A user mentioned, "Adupurush, a Bollywood film, should be boycotted globally until its official apology and Sita's birthplace clip are changed. @PrabhasRaju @SrBachchan."

Another user was of the view that Kriti Sanon's attire in the film was not appropriate, "A thread for people planning to watch "Adipurush, this is definitely not how I pictured Maa Sita to wear her clothes, definitely not my version you can feel free to watch a sleeve less almost invisible blouse maa sita."
“Janaki Daughter of Bharat” that one dialogue from #Adipurush has totally distorted the Culture & Region SITA belongs to. There wasn't a thing called country India then.

The fourth one mentioned, "Hanuman ji is having ponytail hairstyle !! Sita mata without Sindoor only Bindi !! Ram Laxman with leather & fashionable beard !! What these Bollywood will showcase u after charging for AC & popcorn would be undesirable."
Neither dialogues are good nor visuals??♀️

The fifth one was of the view that "With due respect, here you are slightly wrong, sir. The boycott is not to stop producers to dare to make Hindu theme-based movies. In the movie, Hanuman Ji is portrayed as a MULLA. Prabhu Shri Ram is wearing leather shoes. Do u think it's legitimate?"

Worst RAMAYAN i had ever seen.
One thing is very clear -- weather its Bollywood or Tollywood they all failed drastically when it comes to make movie on some religious faith.
My suggestion - Skip this movie
It's better to watch #asur2#AdipurushReview#Hanuman pic.twitter.com/C7taxBF1ZS
This is one of the most crucial parts in the mythology where after Sita is rescued by Ram after she stays in the forest after being abducted by Ravan, she undergoes an ordeal of fire to prove her chastity before she is accepted by Ram.

All you need to know about the controversy surrounding the birthplace of Sita in Prabhas-Kriti Sanon starrer Adipurush
Recently, Nepal Censor Board after they took objection to the dialogue which says that Goddess Sita was India's daughter. According to the board, Sita was born in Nepal. But as per the latest update, the board has allowed the film to be screened in Nepal after the makers of Adipurush decided to remove the dialogue from the film.
UPDATE!! #Adipurush is now releasing in Nepal... The Nepal censor board has passed the film after the controversial dialogue which claimed "Sita is India's daughter" was removed from the movie.. The film, however, is still expected to face some backlash in Kathmandu tomorrow!
