Team Adipurush Improved Their Visual Effects Dramatically After The Initial Goof-Up
Team Adipurush received a lot of flak for the visual effects earlier but they have more than made up for it, in the time they took to improve it. The trailer of Adipurush got a positive response from the audience and trade, and so have both the soundtracks namely 'Jai Shri Ram' and 'Ram Siya Ram'. The theatrical performance of Adipurush will be observed very critically since it is the first Indian film since Pathaan that holds the potential to gross over Rs 100 crores on its first day.
