However, despite all this, Adipurush has failed to live up to the monumental expectations surrounding it. Since its release, disappointing reviews have flooded Twitter and other social media platforms, generating a wave of dissatisfaction among viewers.
Needless to say, despite having a massive budget of Rs. 500 crores, the spectators struggled to connect with the movie. However, the disappointment didn’t end there. Consequently, many people started boycotting Adipurush, because of their various concerns and grievances. The reasons driving this growing demand for a boycott vary, but many viewers have criticized the pedestrian dialogues.
While many sound generic, some caused controversy among the film’s primary fanbase. These lines were judged to be subpar and to have violated the sacredness of the original text.

However, Manoj Muntashir, the film’s lyricist and writer, initially defended his written dialogues. He revealed in interviews that he had grown up hearing slang renditions of the Ramayana, which had affected the way he approached the lines. He also stated that Adipurush was not an adaptation of the Ramayana but rather “inspired” by it.
Finally, after hearing feedback from the audience, he declared that the offensive lines will be changed. And now, it seems that makers have changed some objectionable lines.
