Let me start with something positive. Movie started with a good note and "Ram Siya Ram" song gave spiritual pleasure to our ears. Background music and Songs of the movie were really good. But apart from that if I have to say anything about the movie, I must say that makers failed to do their homework while making this epic. Even if we will keep sentiments aside on the name of cinematic liberty, the makers made me feel that they dnt understand cinema. The screenplay is very poor and the dark theme of movie made us feel that we are watching Game of Thrones not Ramayan. Makers made us feel that during Banawaas time of Lord Ram, Surya Dev also went on exile. VFX, CGI and other visual effects were very poor which forced us to think where they have spent 550 crore. Was that even the real budget of the movie or just some Random numbers were given to create hype. Movie makers need to understand that in big budget movie, if money is being spent on paying the fee of movie stars then we cant make a good cinema. Good cinema can only be made if budget is being spent more on VFX, Dialogue writing, CGI etc. And less on paying fee of actors.
Talking about actors the selection of Case were horrible. No offence to Prabhas obviously he is one of the biggest star of the Country but he don't look like Lord Ram from any angle. Off course the beauty of Kriti Sanon is exceptional but for Goddess Sita we need beauty plus someone who is having Indian Look. Extra sharp feature of Kriti failing her to look like Sita. Selecting Saif as Ravana is perhaps biggest selection disaster of history of movie Industry. O n top of that giving him Khilji like look just poured Ghee in the Fire. In my opinion if they would have selected Rajat Tokas as Lord Ram and Shweta Basu Prasad as Mata Sita, that would have been perfect selection. These two are not less than anyone when it comes to acting and also they would not have charged like Prabhas and Kriti. That money could have been spent on VFX, CGI and other Visuals so that at least we would have got some visual treat.
If I have to talk about performances, Kriti somewhere did justice with Sita Mata character. But she couldn't able to do much because of her limited presence on Screen. Prabhas tried his best. He even did justice of his star power but he miserable failed to made us feel the presence of Lord Ram on big screen. His flat expression throughout the movie has made the things even worst and we couldn't able to connect ourselves from the movie. About Saif as Ravan, I literally have no words. Trailer made me feel that he must have done good performance wise but witnessing him in this character on big screen was most horrible part of the movie. If we will try to ignore his looks and appearance on the name of Cinematic Liberty, his performance made things even more worse. He was walking like a thanos and his dialogue delivery was soo poor that his presence on screen was causing irritation.
At last I will only say , please keep yourself away from Adipurush. If you want to show story of Lord Ram to your children, better to go with 'Ramayan of Ramananda Sager'or even Japanese Cartoon movie 'The Legend of Prince Ram'.
