The much-awaited epic mythological film Adipurush has been the subject of memes ever since the first teaser of the film was released. The film has been ridiculed for its historical inaccuracies and horrible visual effects, especially for the massive budget of over 500 crores. Now that the film has finally been released on the big screen. more clips and stills of the finished product have surfaced on the internet which are rather amusing, to say the least.
In one of the stills that shows Lord Rama in his Vanvas period during the film's opening credits, some stills showed Prabhas in an outfit that resembled Jesus Christ. The fans took it in a humorous manner stating it to be the "biggest crossover in history" and calling it a "cameo" from the Lord himself in the film. There have been criticisms about Saif Ali Khan's Ravana's look as well with netizens comparing it with Black Sabbath's band leader rather than the iconic villain.

The film is getting generally negative reviews from all the top critics and reviewers with them mocking almost all the aspects of the film and even stating that the film "insults the viewer's intelligence" and calling it "a tiring watch with cringe dialogues" but it is remaining to see how the general audience reacts to the film, which will reflect in the film's box office trend.

The stand outs are the fabulous music & BGM & Saif’s attempt at making Raavan menacing.
The visual effects are cartoonish: the final battle has a darker tone to mask the films flaws. The fault lies in the direction & dialogues for this outcome!
