Adipurush, as seen in the trailer, celebrates the victory of good over evil. It also reveals the intriguing appearances of Prabhas, Saif, and the entire cast. Overall, the teaser looks promising, with Saif as Raavan looking menacing. It also gave us a few glimpses of Kriti as Sita, who looks absolutely gorgeous.
Meanwhile, a larger section of the netizens has expressed their dissatisfaction with the film’s poor VFX work and cartoonish appearance, despite the fact that the film is said to be made on a budget of over 400 crores. Om Raut, the director, had previously promised top-tier VFX work and never-before-seen use of motion technology. On the contrary, netizens are feeling betrayed because they are being served more of an animated film.
Many people are mocking Adipurush by referring to it as a ‘Pogo’ film due to its cartoonish appearance. Some criticize Prabhas for not working out and for using computer graphics to enhance his body. While others call it a waste of money. Check out some of the funny tweets below:
