Adipurush crosses Rs 200 crore mark at the box office, despite facing backlash
New Delhi: Prabhas's magnum opus Adipurush has crossed the Rs 200 crore mark at the box office, despite facing backlash from some quarters for its portrayal of Sita. The film, which released on June 16, has been a commercial success, grossing over Rs 205 crore worldwide.
Adipurush is a historical action drama film based on the Ramayana epic. It stars Prabhas as Lord Ram, Saif Ali Khan as Ravana, and Kriti Sanon as Sita. The film has been directed by Om Raut and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Om Raut, Prasad Sutar, and Rajesh Nair.
The film has received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its visual effects and performances, while others criticizing its length and violence. However, the film has been a hit with audiences, who have praised its action sequences and Prabhas's performance as Lord Ram.
Adipurush's box office success is a major boost for the Hindi film industry, which has been struggling in recent years. The film's success is also a testament to Prabhas's star power, which has made him one of the most popular actors in India.
Backlash over portrayal of Sita
Adipurush has also faced backlash from some quarters for its portrayal of Sita. Some critics have accused the film of being misogynistic and of portraying Sita as a helpless victim. Others have criticized the film for its use of violence against women.
The film's director, Om Raut, has defended the film's portrayal of Sita, saying that it is based on the original Ramayana epic. He has also said that the film does not glorify violence against women.
Despite the backlash, Adipurush has been a commercial success. The film's success is a sign that audiences are still interested in mythological films. It is also a sign that Prabhas is still a major box office draw.
What next for Adipurush?
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Adipurush. The film has been a commercial success, but it has also faced backlash from some quarters. It is possible that the film will be remade in other languages, such as Telugu and Tamil. It is also possible that the film will be adapted into a television series.
Only time will tell what the future holds for Adipurush. However, one thing is for sure: the film has already made its mark on Indian cinema.
