The highly anticipated mythological drama Adipurush, starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, has been mired in controversy once again. This time, the film's makers have removed a dialogue after Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah threatened to ban its release in Nepal.
The dialogue in question, "Sita is the daughter of India," was seen by many as ahistorical and insensitive, as Sita is believed to have been born in Nepal. Mayor Shah called for the dialogue to be removed, and the film's makers eventually complied.
This is not the first time that Adipurush has been criticized. The film's trailer was met with backlash from some Hindu groups, who accused it of distorting Hindu mythology. However, the film's makers have defended their work, saying that it is a faithful adaptation of the Ramayana.
Adipurush Controversy: ‘Sita Is Daughter Of India’
Yes, that is correct. The controversy surrounding the film Adipurush arises from the mention of Sita as the daughter of India in its trailer. According to the Ramayana, Sita was born in Janakpur, Nepal, where Lord Ram later married her.
Mayor Balen Shah took to social media, specifically Facebook, to announce his stance on the matter. He stated that no Hindi film will be allowed to be screened in the Kathmandu Metropolitan City unless the slogan “Janki is the daughter of India” is rectified to reflect the truth not only in Nepal but also in India. He emphasized reverence to Mother Sita and gave a deadline of three days to address this issue.
Adipurush Makers Remove Dialogue After The Backlash
Following the controversy over the dialogue "Sita is the daughter of India," Nepal's Censor Board withheld permission for the release of Adipurush. The dialogue was seen as insensitive and ahistorical, as Sita is believed to have been born in Nepal's Janakpur. The film was eventually passed by the censor board after the dialogue was removed.
