“Adipurush dekkhe Gujarat ki cyclone Biparjoy’ ki dimag bhi baigan me milgaya. (After watching Adipurush, cyclone Biparjoy, too, has lost its mind and has subsided),” one comment said
“Ravan ko Virat Kohli ka woh theen line-wala-strip hairstyle chipkadiye, kya asal All India TikTok Association milke bhanaye kya ye film?” another troller remarked.
Prabhas’ Adipurush has also been accused of lifting scenes from Marvel’s The Avengers (2012). Ravan’s Lanka in Adipurush looked as perfect as Thor’s Asgard (Thor, 2011) realm.
Undoubtedly, the most talked-about character of the Prabhas-starrer is Hanuman, thanks to his “tapori” dialogues. Om Raut has reimagined popular episodes from the epic in Marvel style.

It further demanded that an FIR be registered against director Om Raut and writer Manoj Muntashir for the wrong portrayal of the characters and also for the cringy dialogues.
