New Delhi: After all the excitement, buzz, and expectations, Prabhas starrer Adipurush finally hit the big screens today.
The movie has attracted mixed responses from the crowd with the masses having divided opinions regarding the performance of the movie.
While many praised the star-studded divine tale for its cinematography and Prabha’s iconic acting, others went on bashing the movie for its mediocre storyline, cringe VFX, and unrealistic portal of many characters of the Hindu epic Ramayana.
After receiving brutal trolling by furious netizens, the mega movie, made on a mammoth budget of 500 crore ended up becoming meme material on the very first day of its release.
Netizens were seen mercilessly trolling the movie with one after another Adipurush meme being shared by the public all over the internet
Adipurush’s meme fest
One Twitter user trolled the Magnum Opus VFX by comparing it with SRK’s Ravan saying:
BJP IT Cells are crying after #Adipurush is being trolled for VFX. 600cr is not enough, Hollywood spends 3000cr. While their Father #ShahRukhKhan made RaOne with 100cr in 2011.
Hello @omraut, Go and Touch @iamsrk’s feet, and apologies. pic.twitter.com/XGxBNGsjnR

Disappointed by Om Raut’s ambitious movie, another Twitter user wrote “Worst Ramayan ever seen. ”
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

Adipurush review
The movie for sure is not as bad as the trolls might make you feel. The powerful background music and unique VFX paired with a slightly altered version of the timeless tale based on the Hindu evergreen Ramayana definitely make the 3-hour-long movie worth a shot.
However, it has clearly underperformed its expectations with its cast simply failing to do justice to the iconic characters. from the Ramayana.
