Adipurush box office collection day 3: Prabhas’ film earns Rs 340 crore worldwide in first weekend, breaches Pathaan record

The makers also announced that they will be removing certain dialogues that led to umbrage in many parts of India. The film has been called out for disrespecting the epic Ramayan, which led to its director Raut and dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla speaking up. Shukla, in a tweet, said that despite him writing over 4000 lines in Adipurush, sentiments got hurt “because of five lines.”

“I can give countless arguments in favour of my dialogues, but this will not reduce your pain. Me and the producer-director of the film have decided that some of the dialogues which are hurting you, we’ll revise them, and they’ll be added to the film this week. May Shri Ram bless you all!” he wrote. He had earlier said that Adipurush is not Ramayan but inspired by the epic.

T Series also released a statement, “Team Adipurush in respect of Public Opinion, Revamps Dialogues for a Unifying Film Experience valuing the input of the public and the audience. The dialogues are being modified in consultation & advice of CBFC.”

Adipurush has faced criticism for its visual effects as well. The team had to delay the film for a few months as they fixed audience complaints in the department after the first look of the film was released. The film, based on the epic Ramayana, features Prabhas as Raghava, Kriti Sanon as Janaki, and Saif Ali Khan as Ravana. With a reported budget of Rs 500 crore, the movie also stars Sunny Singh and Devdatta Nage as Lakshman and Hanuman, respectively.
