Adipurush, which claims to be based on the epic Ramayana, fails to truly capture its essence. Let's look at some of the errors in dialogues and scenes created by the Adipurush makers.
1. GOD BRAHMA'S BOON TO RAVANA
In the movie, the portrayal of the boon granted by Lord Brahma to Ravana is incorrect. They fail to do basic research and mix up the boons associated with another character, Hiranyakashyap. As per the original Ramayana, Ravana received a boon that protected him from being killed by Devas, Gandharvas, Nagas, Yakshas, and Danavas. The inclusion of irrelevant elements like day and night, ground and air in Adipurush deviates from the true narrative.
SITA MATA KIDNAPPED IN FRONT OF SHREE RAM
Adipurush shows a scene where Shree Ram witnesses Sita's abduction and chases after her. However, in the original Ramayana, Lord Ram never had the chance to see Sita before she was taken away. This contradictory portrayal raises questions about the consistency of the storyline.
VAMPIRE MOVIES BAT INSTEAD OF THE PUSHPAK VIMAAN OF RAVANA
Adipurush inaccurately portrays Ravana's flying vehicle as a "Chamkaadar" instead of the iconic Pushpak Vimaan, which was crafted by the divine architect Vishwakarma. This change undermines the rich mythology and symbolic significance associated with the original narrative.
RAVANA DEPICTED AS A VAMPIRE-LIKE CHARACTER
The film presents Ravana as a vampire-like character, disregarding his true nature as a powerful rakshasa and a knowledgeable scholar. This misrepresentation distorts the character and alters the significance of the epic.
LANKA DEPICTED AS A CITY MADE OF COAL INSTEAD OF GOLD
Adipurush portrays Lanka as a city made of coal, deviating from the traditional depiction of it being a magnificent golden city. Such changes may serve visual purposes, but they compromise the richness and meaning of the original narrative.
IGNORING THE ESSENCE OF RAMAYANA
There are several other mistakes in the movie Adipurush that need to be highlighted. One such error is when Vibhishan's wife is shown providing information about the Sanjeevani herb instead of Jaamvant, who played a crucial role in saving Lord Lakshman's life. This mistake changes the significance of Jaamvant's contribution in the story.
Meghnad is shown as a south delhi tattoo artist, Ravana as a rockstar who plays the veena, receives messages from pythons, wears a welding shield while making his sword, and dresses in leather clothes. These strange additions not only distort the characters but also show a lack of respect for the original text and the writers who created it.
This movie tries to draw a parallel between Ravana and the Mughal dynasty without any logical basis. This comparison only confuses and misleads the audience, diverting from the true essence of the epic Ramayana.
