Making of Adipurush

On August 18, 2020, a promotional poster was used to make the announcement about the Adipurush. Om Raut, who previously directed the historical action picture Tanhaji (2020), is in charge of directing the role of Lord Rama, which is played by Prabhas.

Om Raut was inspired to convert the Ramayana into a movie utilising modern technology after watching the 1992 Japanese film Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama. In the midst of India's COVID-19 lockdown, Raut composed the script. As soon as Prabhas saw the project, he liked it, and T-Series Films agreed to produce it.

The filmmakers announced in September 2020 that Prabhas would play Lord Rama, whose character name would later be revealed to be Raghava. The character of Ravana, also known as Lankesh, has been offered to Saif Ali Khan, who has previously appeared in Raut's Tanhaji in the role of a villain.

Following rumours that Anushka Shetty, Anushka Sharma, Kiara Advani, and Keerthy Suresh had been contacted for the character of Sita, it was announced in November 2020 that Kriti Sanon had been cast to play the role. Lakshmana, Lord Rama's younger brother, is played by Sunny Singh, who joined the cast in February 2021.

On January 19, 2021, the motion capture for Adipurush started. On February 2, 2021, Muhurtam was officially shot and launched in Mumbai, India. According to the creators of the film, principal photography for the movie had begun that day. On the same day of filming, there was a major fire accident at the location in Mumbai where the scene was being shot.

Both Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon finished filming their scenes in October 2021. On November 10, 2021, the last shot of the movie was taken.

The Adipurush teaser was launched on May 9, 2023. Adipurush’s budget is ₹500 Crore (US$63 million), making it one of the most costly Indian films ever made

Adipurush Reviews

The reviews for this, one of India's most anticipated films, have finally arrived. From the moment it was announced, Adipurush generated a significant amount of excitement and anticipation. However, on the day of its release, it was unable to live up to the expectations that had been surrounding it.

Adipurush received a rating of 1.5 out of 5 stars from the Indian film critic Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express. She had negative comments on the film's screenplay as well as its graphics. 

Box Office

Adipurush is on track to shatter all box office records, despite receiving mostly negative reviews. The mega-budget film is expected to gross an estimated ₹85 Crore on its first day of release, as stated in the reports.

If it does as well as it is expected to, it will be able to shatter the record set on day one by the super-hit movie Pathaan, which starred Shah Rukh Khan.

Adipurush Cast

The Adipurush cast consists of well-known Indian actors. Prabhas, renowned for his mesmerising performances in Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, takes on the pivotal role of Raghava. With his commanding presence and refined acting, Prabhas captures the essence of the virtuous prince who personifies righteousness and unyielding devotion. His portrayal is expected to delve deep into the complexities of Raghava's character, balancing strength and vulnerability.

Opposite Prabhas, the immensely talented Saif Ali Khan steps into the shoes of the formidable antagonist, Lankesh. Known for his versatility, Saif Ali Khan is set to bring a unique interpretation to the legendary demon king, infusing him with depth, intensity, and a charismatic aura. His portrayal of Ravana is a captivating blend of power, ambition, and intricate emotions.

Joining them is the versatile actress Kriti Sanon, who portrays the role of Janaki, Lord Rama's beloved wife. Kriti, known for her impressive performances in a range of films, brings her grace and dynamic skills to the character of Janaki. Sunny Singh plays the role of Shesh (Lakshmana), Radhava’s loyal brother.

The supporting cast of Adipurush is equally impressive, with notable actors bringing their talents to the forefront. Devdatta Nage takes on the role of Bajrang, the devoted ally of Raghava known for his unwavering loyalty and supernatural abilities. This portrayal is expected to add depth and charisma to this iconic character.

Conclusion

In the world of cinema, there are times when the response to a highly anticipated picture does not match its massive box office opening. Such is the case with Adipurush, the epic film that stunned the box office with its magnificence, nature, and star-studded ensemble. While the picture had a huge opening weekend, the subsequent reactions and reviews told a completely different story.

In the end, Adipurush's legacy will be established over time as its impact spreads across cinema history and continues to resonate with spectators in the years ahead. While the film's initial reception was mixed, its ambition, scale, and the aesthetic talents of the cast of Adipurush and crew mark the movie as an important addition to the cinematic world.

It reminds us that the world of filmmaking is endless along with unpredictable and that even in the face of critical acclaim, the spirit of storytelling remains, inviting us to appreciate the efforts and creativity poured into bringing ancient legends to life on the biggest canvas of all - the silver screen.
