Arun Govil Slams 'Adipurush' As 'Hollywood Ki Cartoon,' Criticizes Makers

Prabhas and Kriti Sanon's film 'Adipurush' has made a staggering Rs 340 crores worldwide in its opening weekend. However, the movie has faced severe criticism from moviegoers, netizens, and even politicians due to its portrayal of characters, dialogues, and visual effects. Arun Govil, who famously portrayed the role of Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's iconic television series 'Ramayan' in 1987, recently expressed his discontent with the makers of 'Adipurush'. He lashed out at director Om Raut, describing the film as a "Hollywood ki cartoon" and questioning the necessity of modernizing the mythological story.

'Adipurush', directed by Om Raut, is based on the epic Ramayana and features Prabhas and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles of Lord Ram and Sita, respectively. The filmmakers intended to present 'Adipurush' as a cinematic adaptation that would resonate with the modern generation and youth. Their aim was to reintroduce the mythological tale on the big screen, allowing a wider audience to learn about it. However, their attempt seems to have fallen short, as people have expressed disappointment with the execution of the film.

The criticism surrounding 'Adipurush' primarily revolves around the visual effects and the interpretation of the characters. Many viewers have expressed their dissatisfaction with the quality of the visual effects, deeming them subpar for a film of this magnitude. Additionally, the portrayal of characters and certain dialogues have sparked controversy and received backlash for deviating from the traditional depiction of the revered mythological figures.

The backlash against 'Adipurush' highlights the challenges faced when adapting revered mythological stories for the big screen. Balancing the expectations of a modern audience while respecting the cultural and religious sentiments associated with these stories can be a delicate task. It serves as a reminder that such adaptations need to strike a careful balance between artistic creativity and cultural sensitivity to avoid alienating the very audience they aim to engage.
