Prabhas and Kriti Sanon starrer Adipurush has gathered an immense amount of attention all over the country and it's unanimously negative. The audience's backlash has now turned into hatred as the moviegoers have claimed that Om Raut's directorial is a misrepresentation of Ramayana and it should be straight away banned.

The cinephiles took to their social media handle and shared their reaction to the latest epic mythological drama film. A lot of the fans are raging as Adipurush is allegedly the wrong interpretation of Ramayana.

Replying to one of the famous authors' box office report on Adipurush, a Twitter user mentioned, "This Animation movie is the best. Even Japanese made this epic with such devotion. People in India are making a mockery of our HISTORY. I urge GOI to ban Adipurush from releasing in overseas. (Sic)."

Mocking the pathetic dialogues, a fan penned, ""कपड़ा और तेल तेरे बाप का, जलेगी भी तेरे बाप की!" These are the kind of Dialogues Urduwood is giving to the character of Hanuman Ji! #AdipurushDisaster #Adipurush #BanAdipurush #BoycottAdipurush @omraut @manojmuntashir (sic)."

Comparing to Ramanand Sagar's OG television series, a fan wrote, "Aapda ko awsar banate hue @StarGoldIndia I would rather watch this masterpiece 2 hr special rather than that #600CrShit #BanAdipurush #Adipurush #OmRaut #DisasterAdipurush (Sic)."

Another moviegoer tweeted, "Ravan was a Brahmin and @omraut has shown feeding meat to his vahan so Called Bat P.S Ravana is worshipped as one of Shiva's most revered followers,and he is even worshipped in some Shiva temples. #BanAdipurush (Sic)."

Adipurush, which also stars Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Singh and Debdatta Nage in pivotal roles, is out in cinemas now.
