Adipurush movie review
Story:
As this is the story of Ramayana which is familiar to most of the people, the makers skipped the growth of lord Ram and his marriage to Sita.
The movie starts from the Vanavasa stage. Laxman cuts the nose of Surpanaka who tries to get lord Ram.
Looking at his sister, Ravanasura decides to kidnap Sita and he gets absolutely mesmerized by her beauty.
He kidnaps her and how Rama brings Sita back with the help of Hanuman and Sugreeva and puts an end to Ravana forms the rest of the story.
Analysis:
Director Om Raut chose to focus on a specific section of the Valmiki Ramayanam, starting in the middle of its original telling.
Om Raut manages to infuse some good moments despite the familiar tale.
The way things are handled in the first half looks good, but he should have taken more care regarding the second half.
Prabhas shines in his portrayal of Lord Ram. His tall and commanding presence perfectly suits the character.
Kriti Sanon is decent as Sita and delivers a convincing performance in the limited screen space she gets.
Devdatta Nage as Human is very good and he got a lot of amazing moments in the movie. Sunny Singh as Lakshmana is okay too. The rest of the cast are fine.
Ajay and Atul are the biggest strengths of this movie. Their music elevated a lot of scenes.
Karthik Pazhani’s cinematography is attractive as the visuals are quite grand on many occasions.
The VFX works could have been better compared to the budget of the film.
Rating: 3.3/5
