The Talk On Social Media
The much-awaited adaption of the epic Ramayana “Adipurush” has been the talk of the town ever since its trailer was released, but for the wrong reasons. As soon as the trailer of the movie was released, it went into the trending list not just on YouTube but also on Twitter, all for not-so-good reasons.
People immediately started comparing the trailer with the original Ramayana and called it the worst version of the Ramayana to be ever made. Made on the budget of 500 crore rupees, people are also trolling the trailer for its poor VFX by saying that the movie looks more animated than real.
People have also pinpointed why no one in the movie was wearing a Mukut, which was considered to be a sacred thing back in the day. A user even gave advice to all the South heroes not to work with Directors or producers from Bollywood, as it would be harmful to their careers.
Ever since the trailer was released, no actor from the movie has commented anything about the backlash and trolling that it has been receiving, with the hashtag of #DisappiointedAdipurush going around.
What To Expect From Adipurush?
Considering the backlash and trolling the trailer of the movie has been receiving about the poor VFX and for several other reasons, the only thing people are expecting right now is good acting from the cast members.
People are also hoping that since T-series is involved in the production of the movie, the music would be somewhat good that would prove beneficial for the movie in some way or the other. However, it is too soon to comment on anything about the movie.
