13 Adipurush dialogues that were more colorful than the rainbow
We have curated a list of 13 Adipurush dialogues from Om Raut-directorial. Scroll down to read them.
We have grown up watching many versions of Valmiki’s Hindu epic, Ramayana. In 2023, director Om Raut presented a new (read modernized) version of Ramayana in his directorial, Adipurush. Starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan, the 2023 mythological action drama was criticized for its cringe-worthy Adipurush dialogues and bad VFX.
While dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir initially defended his work, he later admitted his "mistake." Meanwhile, the makers revised some of the dialogues after receiving heavy backlash from the audience. For example, the dialogue that read “Kapda tere baap ka” was changed to “kapda teri Lanka ka.” “Hum unki lanka laga denge” was revised as “Hum unki Lanka mein aag laga denge.”

Saif Ali Khan, who plays Lankesh (aka Raavana) in Adipurush, delivered this dialogue while channeling his power.

In a scene, Prabhas, as Raghava, delivers these lines while motivating his army to win the war against Lankesh.
In an earlier interview with Aaj Tak, Manoj Muntashir shared that defending his writing in Adipurush was a "big mistake." Manoj stated that he is not an insecure person who would defend his writing skills. The dialogue writer added that it was a big mistake and a learning experience for him.
