Adipurush (2023) Movie: Rating Analysis

Altogether, Adipurush is the modern version of Ram's valor in Ramayan. Om Raut embarked on a mission to enthrall Genex viewers by retelling Ram's valor and virtue in Ramayan in a modern way by blending it with special effects like VFX and Graphics. He had taken a few cinematic liberties but it is fine as long as the message is driven. Everyone knows that if Ramayan is told in the old-fashioned manner Genex kids and the current generation will be bored. In that way, his effort should be applauded. But for all his efforts, he missed the emotional connectivity in the narration by paying more attention to the graphics and VFX.

He came up with an interesting story and with decent screenplay most of the time, he emerged successful most at times. Few sections and those obsessed with games like PubG will be connected to it, but it has to be seen how others will receive it. At times one gets a feeling that they are watching some caricatures and creatures out of the planet. A little bit of fine-tuning here and there and the apt usage of the chartbuster songs Jai Shri Ram and Ram Siya Ram would have powered Adipurush to another level. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 3 Rating for Adipurush.
