'Adipurush' was undoubtedly one of the highly anticipated films of the year and the massive advance bookings for the film only validated the anticipation. The film was released worldwide on June 16. Directed by Om Raut, the film stars Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, and Sunny Singh in primary roles. The film is based on Ramayana. 

While the anticipation and expectations were high, the film has largely left fans disappointed. Audiences who watched the film on day 1 of the release took to social media platforms to share their views and experience of watching the magnum opus which is high on VFX. Many called the script and VFX sub-par. However, many expressed shock at the dialogue in the film. People have called Lord Hanuman's lines in the film 'disrespectful'. A particular dialogue that received severe backlash is when Devdatta Nage as Lord Hanuman says, “Kapda tere baap ka, aag tere baap ki, tel tere baap ka, jalegi bhi teri baap ki”.
