Adipurush review

However, the film has received mixed reactions. While fans have been raving about it, critics have expressed their disappointment with the film. The Hindustan Times review of Adipurush reads, “Adipurush is merely a Bollywood-ised version of one of the most epic tales that ever existed. If you keep the story aside for it's largely known to all, the execution turns out to be a messy blend of over-the-top CGI and passable VFX, and making it worse are the intentionally funny dialogues that sound misplaced in a sensitive and mythological story."
