Plot

Thousands of years ago, the demon king Lankesh gets a boon from the god of creation Brahma that he could not be slain by Devas nor demons, thus making him invincible. Elsewhere, King Dashratha of Kosala exiles his son Raghava for 14 years to fulfill his promise to his wife Kaikeyi, Raghava's stepmother, that her son would take the throne. Raghava accepts this and lives in the wilderness with his wife Janaki and his brother Shesh in the forests of Panchavati, near the river Godavari.

Lankesh's sister, the demoness Shurpanakha, tries to seduce the brothers and attempts to take Janaki's life, but after a failed attempt, the demoness ends up losing her ears and nose. Upon hearing of his sister's humiliation, Lankesh abducts Janaki in revenge. Raghava and Shesh set out to free Janaki with the help of the Monkey King Sugriva, his aide, Bajarang, and their monkey army. With the help of the Sea God, they are able to create a bridge across the sea (Ram Setu). Raghava and his army successfully cross the ocean to reach the shores of Lanka. Meanwhile Lankesh's brother Vibhishana is forced to leave Lanka because the later had opposed Lankesh's decision of abducting Janaki. Vibhishana joins Raghava's army. Lankesh is given a final ultimatum but rejects and starts a war.

During the war Shesh gets injured by Lankesh's son Indrajit but with the help of sanjivani brought by Bajrang they are able to cure him. They again embark on a war and emerge victorious by overpowering Lankesh's army. Raghava and Shesh successfully kill Kumbhakarna (Lankesh's brother) and Indrajit. With no other option, Lankesh decides to go in the battlefield himself. A battle takes place where Raghava manages to kill Lankesh and Janaki is set free. Raghava, Shesh and Janaki completes their 14 year long exile and return back to Kosala, where Raghava is crowned as the king.

Development

Adipurush, an adaptation of the Hindu epic Ramayana, was announced on 18 August 2020, via a promotional poster. Prabhas portrays Lord Rama under the direction of Om Raut who earlier helmed the period action film Tanhaji (2020).[20] Om Raut was fascinated by the 1992 Japanese film Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama and was motivated to adapt the Ramayana into a film using modern technology. Raut wrote the script amidst COVID-19 lockdown in India. Prabhas immediately liked the project and the production company T-Series Films was on-board for the project.[5]

Adipurush is one of the most expensive Indian films ever made, with a budget of ₹700 crore (US$88 million). An amount of ₹250 crore (US$31 million) is estimated to be spent on visual effects. The original budget was initially estimated to be ₹450 crore (US$56 million). However, after the extreme backlash toward the visual effects in the film's teaser, the budget was increased to ₹700 crore (US$88 million) to improve and enhance the CGI and color grading.[21] It was shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu languages, while also filmed in 3D.[22]

Casting

In September 2020, the makers revealed that Prabhas is enacting Lord Rama's portrayal whose character name was later revealed as Raghava.[5] Saif Ali Khan who already worked as an antagonist in Raut's Tanhaji has been signed for the role of Ravana with the name Lankesh.[23] After rumours of Anushka Shetty, Anushka Sharma, Kiara Advani, and Keerthy Suresh being approached for the role of Sita, it was reported in November 2020 that Kriti Sanon has been cast to essay the role; her inclusion into the film was confirmed by makers four months later in March 2021.[24] Sunny Singh who joined the sets in February 2021 is playing Lord Rama's younger brother Lakshmana.[25]

Filming

Motion capture shoot for Adipurush begun on 19 January 2021.[26] Muhurtam shot and formal launch was done on 2 February 2021 in Mumbai, India.[27] Principal photography of the movie began that day, as informed by the makers.[28][29] A massive fire accident took place at the filming location in Mumbai on the same day.[30] Duplicate sets were erected same wise due to the fire breakout.[31] In October 2021, Khan and Sanon wrapped up shoot.[32] On 10 November 2021, the filming was completed.[33][34]

Release

The film's teaser was released on 2 October 2022 on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti.[38] The teaser received heavy criticism for its visual effects and CGI.[39][40][41] The film's trailer was released on 9 May 2023,[42][43] and was seen as an improvement from the teaser.[44][45] An action trailer was released on 6 June 2023.[46]

Theatrical

Adipurush was theatrically released on 16 June 2023[47] in Hindi and Telugu, along with dubbed versions in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam.[48] It was previously scheduled to release on 11 August 2022, but was later postponed due to the release of Laal Singh Chaddha. The film was postponed again to avoid a clash with Veera Simha Reddy and Waltair Veerayya and also for reworking the visual effects, due to the severe backlash after the release of the teaser trailer.[49][50][51]

The film was set to premiere at the Tribeca Festival in the Escape From Tribeca section on 13 June 2023,[52] but was cancelled by the makers later. The film was supposed to be played at the Film festival on June 15 and 17, but it's world premiere, 3 days before the world release had been put down.[15]

The film was also initially scheduled for an IMAX release, which was cancelled later due to the simultaneous release and advance booking of screens for The Flash; the IMAX rulebook does not allow two IMAX films to release on the same day.[53]

The film was initially stopped from release in Nepal citing an issue with a specific dialogue in the film where Goddess Janaki is referred to as the "daughter of India". The controversial dialogue was later removed from the film as per the media reports. Vedic records shows Goddess Sita was born in Mithila but the site is controversial. Indians believe that Goddess Sita was born in part of Mithila which falls in India, the present day Sitamarhi in Bihar. Where as Nepalese believe that Goddess Sita was born in part of Mithila which falls in Nepal, the present day Janakpur in Madhesh Province.[54][55] This further resulted in all Indian films getting banned from releasing in the Kathmandu Metropolitan area.[56]

Home media

The digital streaming rights of the film were acquired by Amazon Prime Video.[57]

Reception

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 8%, with an average score of 4.6/10, based on reviews from 12 critics.[58]

Bollywood Hungama found Adipurush to be a "well-made entertainer with a big-screen appeal".[59] Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing "This one's a sincere attempt that gets a tad overwhelmed by its ambition of handling a story of this magnitude".[60] In a mixed review, Anindita Mukherjee of India Today stated that "All in all, we can’t put a stamp on all the hype that Adipurush has been gathering, but it surely deserves one watch at the theatres. For Prabhas, if nothing else".[61]

Scroll.in's Nandini Ramnath wrote that the adaptation "lacks [...] a sense of wonderment".[62] Avinash Lohana of Pinkvilla rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and found it to be a "sincere attempt, but a not so sincere adaptation of Ramayana".

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave Adipurush 1.5/5, criticising the screenplay and visuals, and described the film as "a series of clunky computer graphics, bathed in Bollywoodese".[63] Awarding the same rating, Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV called the film a "weird blend of fantasy and fallacy".[64] Rediff.com's Deepa Gahlot dismissed it as a "travesty", and criticised the dialogues and the visual effects.[65] Likewise, Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com criticised the writing and visuals of the film, saying "...it all looks cheap and uninspired".[66]

Box office

After a strong opening weekend, the film had a sharp decline in collections on Monday,[67] and dropped further on Tuesday.[68] It has grossed ₹450 crore (US$56 million) worldwide till now.[69]

Controversies

The film sparked debates and outrage over its dialogues deemed indecent and objectionable, particularly those of Hanuman in the Lanka Dahan sequence.[70][71] However, writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla defended the film, claiming it was intentional and simplified in order to create some kind of diversion or division between multiple characters. He further claimed said dialogue had been used by the greatest saints, storytellers of India in the same manner, making him not the first one to write this dialogue which was "already there.”[72] Shukla later claimed the film only drew inspiration from Ramayana and was not a direct adaptation of the work.[73] This was soon followed by his subsequent announcement of the team's decision to revise the lines within the first week of release.[74]

On 18 June 2023, Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha had lodged a FIR with the Hazratganj police against the producers and cast. In his complaint, Hindu Mahasabha national spokesperson Chaturvedi said that the film was a deliberate attempt to insult Hindu sentiments by distorting the images of Hindu gods with offensive dialogues, costumes.[75][76]

The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High court slammed the makers of Adipurush and questioned the CBFC on approving the film for public viewing.[77]

Notes

  1. ^ While Adipurush literally translates to "first man," Raut interprets it as "best man" in the context of the film.[5]
