Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, June 20, 2023: Adipurush has been facing the wrath of the people and moviegoers ever since it has been released in theatres. From the dialogues to the VFX, everything has been receiving negative reviews from moviegoers.

Amid all the controversy that the film has stirred, the Internet is demanding a ban on the screening of Om Raut’s directorial.

ALL INDIA CINE WORKERS ASSOCIATION DEMANDS BAN ON ADIPURUSH

Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer mythological epic has received another setback after the All India Cine Workers Association have written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him to "stop screening the movie and immediately order a ban of Adipurush screening in the theatres and OTT platforms in the future."

In the letter by the organisation, the members also wrote how they need FIR against director Om Raut, dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla and the producers of the film.

A part of their letter read, “This movie’s screenplay and dialogues are clearly defaming the image of Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman. Adipurush’s movie is hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus and Sanatan Dharm. Prabhu Sri Ram is a god for everyone in India and no matter what religious faith one comes from, this movie depicts Lord Ram and even Raavan who looks like a character of a video game, with dialogues hurting every Indian in the country and across the globe. Actor Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan shouldn’t have been part of such a disgraceful movie ever made in the history of Indian Cinema. Adipurush is a complete disaster of our faith in Shri Ram and Ramayan."

PROTEST OVER ADIPURUSH RELEASE

Amid a raging controversy over Adipurush, a group of people staged a protest in Varanasi and tore posters of the film and the Hindu Mahasabha lodged a complaint with the Lucknow police against its makers on June 19. Joining the chorus against the film, the Samajwadi Party said the faithful are hurt by its "cheap and superficial dialogues" and that the film was part of an "agenda". Protesting against the film in Varanasi, activists of a Hindu outfit tore its posters and appealed to people not to watch it.
