Adipurush: Hidden agenda behind Ramayan Mockery

How dare Om Raut makes a mockery of Ramayan with Adipurush. Om Raut's Adipurush when announced with Prabhas generated immense interest among movie lovers. But the entry of Saif Ali Khan as Ravan diluted it and at that time, many expressed their opposition.

When the teaser was released, the makers got severe backlash for the caricaturish and cartoon-like characters. Many filed cases and approached courts seeking its directions to stop the film. This forced the makers to postpone the film's release by six months and the film backed by the positive response to the trailers and two songs, was released amidst huge expectations.

However, movie lovers got a huge shock after watching the film. Now, people are questioning whether Om Raut had a hidden agenda behind making Adiprush through which he made the mockery of Hindu epic Ramayan and if so, how dare he makes a mockery of Ramayan.

Taking creative liberties is nothing new and many Tollywood filmmakers and even senior actors like NTR had taken many creative liberties. However, they never tampered with the exact story and happenings in the scriptures. But right from the looks of Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, Lakshman, and Hanuman along with Ravan, Mandodari, Indrajit, and Vibhishan, everyone looked odd.

The mustache to Ram looked unbearable but Prabhas with his royal look somehow managed to impress the viewers. The makeup and the costumes looked extremely odd. How on earth, he could think of showing tattoos to Ravan, Vibhishan, Indrajit, Vibhishan, Mandodari, and Surpanakha? Hanuman and other Vanar Sena looked like apes. Thank God, he did not put tattoos on Ram, Lakshman, and Sita.

On top of it, no one connected to Raghav, Janaki, and Seshu. Sesh, Telugu viewers are reminded of Adivi Sesh while Raghav and Janaki looked like mere mortals. Just because Hindus are tolerant, the makers dare to show even characters in Hindu epics in a shocking way in the name of creativity. They never dare to tamper with the holy scriptures of other religions. Om Raut's Ram looked like Jesus Christ in some scenes. Kriti looked out of the box. The less we talk about other roles the better it is.
