The backlash surrounding Adipurush is on a rise. The film, which is a dramatic retelling of Ramayana, has been constantly under the scanner ever since the makers unveiled the poster and teaser last year. And now with the movie's release, the controversies have doubled. From critics to reviewers, several people from across the country have expressed disappointment over the film's certain dialogues. Some of which include "marega bete", "bua ka bagicha hain kya" and "jalegi tere baap ki".

Manoj Munatshir's Tweet:
रामकथा से पहला पाठ जो कोई सीख सकता है, वो है हर भावना का सम्मान करना.
सही या ग़लत, समय के अनुसार बदल जाता है, भावना रह जाती है.
आदिपुरुष में 4000 से भी ज़्यादा पंक्तियों के संवाद मैंने लिखे, 5 पंक्तियों पर कुछ भावनाएँ आहत हुईं.
उन सैकड़ों पंक्तियों में जहाँ श्री राम का यशगान…

The film's co-dialogue writer Manoj Munatshir also shared this update on his Twitter account. In his tweet, he also claimed that he was abused on social media over some of the film's dialogues. "I can give countless arguments in favour of my dialogues, but this will not reduce your pain. The producer-director of the film and I have decided that some of the dialogues which are hurting you, we'll revise them..." he tweeted.
Helmed by Om Raut, and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Adipurush stars Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon as Sita, and Sunny Singh as Lakshman and Saif Ali Khan as Ravan.
