Adipurush, starring Prabhas, sees a huge drop in its box office collections on day 5.
Adipurush Controversy: The counsel for Hindu Sena told the court that the film is banned in Nepal and that there are many controversial parts in the movie
Delhi high court on Wednesday refused an urgent plea by Hindu Sena on the controversial movie, Adipurush. The outfit alleged that the film has wrongly depicted Hindu Gods like Ram, Sita and Hanuman.
The counsel for Hindu Sena told the court that the film is banned in Nepal and that there are many controversial parts in the movie. However, the high court refused to urgently hear the matter and asked the makers to come on the day when the matter is listed in general course i.e. June 30.
The film, directed by Om Raut and fronted by Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, has come under attack for its dialogue, colloquial language and representation of some characters from the much-loved mythological epic.
In Nepal as well, ‘Adipurush’ provoked ire over its dialogues, but particularly for its mention of Sita as ‘India’s daughter’. Screening of “Adipurush” and all other Hindi films has been banned in the country until the film’s team makes desired changes.
In the wake of the backlash, the film’s dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla on Sunday said the makers would “revise some of the dialogues” and the changes will be incorporated in the movie in a week.
‘Adipurush’ is also produced by Krishan Kumar, Om Raut, Prasad Sutar, and Rajesh Nair of Retrophiles, Pramod, and Vamsi of UV Creations. The movie has been released in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil.
