South Indian audience counters Bollywood audience with #NoOneCanStopAdipurush

0

Making a film on the world famous mythological epic like Ramayana is a big challenge for anyone. It is a tough task for the director to make characters like Sri Rama – Sita Devi – Anjaneya – Ravana in a way that people can appreciate them. We have scholars who have vast knowledge of mythology. There will be also staunch supporters of Hindu religion and gods, who will not take any slight mistakes when making these kind of films. The movie units will face serious opposition from them. Team Adipurush is facing the same heat now. When the teaser of the Omraut directorial was released recently, such criticism came from all corners of the world.

Especially the way the characters were shown in it and the shoddy VFX was severely criticized by many. Especially Saif’s getup in the role of Ravana was severely criticized for comparing him with characters like Thor.

However, the Prabhas – Om Raut team had arranged a media conference earlier to counter the above criticisms. They said that visual viewing is different in mobile. The view on the big screen is different. Adipurush is a must watch movie on the big screen. That too would be great in 3D, the team said.

Around the negativity of this movie, Bollywood audience have been trending in social media with #BanAdipurush tag and saying that Adipurush team is degrading the epic Ramayana. In response to this, South Indian audience are now countering with #NoOneCanStopAdipurush.

In the recent days god knows what’s the issue with Bollywood audience but they are trending on social media to boycott every hero film for silly reasons. Recently they did the same boycott trend for Lal singh chadda, Brahmastra and now they are doing for Adipurush.

This high-budget mythological drama will be arriving in theatres worldwide on 12th January 2023. It will be released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam languages. Directed by Om Raut, this movie is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Om Raut, Prasad Sutar and Rajesh Nair. Vamsi and Pramod of UV Creations will be releasing it in Telugu. Saif Ali Khan portrays the character of Lankesh in this ‘Adipurush’ while Kriti Sanon will be seen as Sita. Sunny Singh will be seen as Lakshman.

Poor performance by Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Godfather on 1st weekend

0

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Godfather released last week with mostly positive reviews and appreciation for Chiranjeevi’s and Satyadev’s performance. Mega fans had set heavy expectations for the film but the movie failed to open to big numbers and this political drama failed to take advantage of the festive season.

Godfather failed to jump on weekends and the collections are lower than day2 collections. Overall the movie’s Telugu version share is close to 45Cr which is very very disappointing. 45Cr share for a 5 days weekend with Festival advantage is disastrous. The numbers are very poor and looking at the trend, the movie is on course to fall way short of the breakeven mark. The theatricals are valued at 80Cr.

Mohan Raja has directed this remake of the Malayalam blockbuster ‘Lucifer’. The original starred Mohanlal and Prithviraj played a cameo. Nayantara is in a key role alongside Satyadev and Malayalam actor Indrajith Sukumaran. Salman Khan is playing an extended cameo in this project.

After the debacle of Acharya, Chiranjeevi pinned a lot of hopes on this political drama. As admitted by himself during promotions, Godfather is a more commercialized version of Mohanlal’s Malayalam Blockbuster ‘Lucifer’.

0

Adipurush teaser has received all kinds of feedback from Prabhas fans, media and industry insiders. While the movie unit has maintained that the movie will be a great experience on the big screen, trolls and negative comments continue to pour in over the shoddy VFX and character looks revealed so far.

Amidst these negative comments, producer NV Prasad has added fuel to the fire by stating Ram Charan is the ideal portrayal of Lord Ram. “Not just the whole country, but the whole world has got an idea of what Lord Ram looks like thanks to Ram Charan and Rajamouli,” said the producer at Godfather’s success meet. The timings of these comments are quite unfortunate and is being seen as an comment on Prabhas and Om Raut.

These unwarranted comparisons have angered Prabhas fans and social media is abuzz with debate on it. Om Raut has been repeatedly requesting patience from fans and media and judge once the movie is in theatres. Already Adipurush is facing criticism for its teaser and NV Prasad’s comments seem like unnecessary provocation and comparison.

Prabhas’ Adipurush will release in January 2023. Prabhas will be seen as Lord Ram in Adipurush while Kriti Sanon will play the role of Sita and Saif Ali Khan is going to be seen as Ravana.
