The latest release Adipurush, starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, has garnered a lot of flak on social media for its VFX, script, design and direction, but one of the things that netizens have been particularly ruthless in their criticism about is its dialogues. Dialogues specifically regarding the Lanka Dahan scene where Lord Hanuman is heard mouthing the lines "jalegi bhi tere baap ki" to Meghnad. Adipurush Box Office Collection Day 1: Hindi Version of Prabhas-Kriti Sanon's Film Collects Rs 37.25 Crore in India.

A day after its release, Twitterati erupted with criticism and relentless trolling of the dialogues which most termed as 'tapori' and chapri' which do not fit the nature or the stature that one associates with Valmiki's legendary epic Ramayana.

Others have cited examples of the portrayal of Lord Hanuman, from the Ramanand Sagar series and the 1990s, Japanese anime movie The Legend of Ramayana as well as his various portrayals from the animated Hanuman movies and the Disney+ Hotstar series, which depict him as both mighty, as well as wise.
