Om Raut’s Adipurush, a multi-starrer and multilingual retelling of the epic Ramayana, has come under the scanner of criticism because of its VFX, dialogue, and representation of a few characters from the mythological epic.
Though, Adipurush, starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, got a blockbuster opening at the box-office, but, it failed to win the hearts of the fans. In the movie, Prabhas plays the character of Lord Rama, Kriti Sanon plays Goddess Sita, Saif Ali Khan plays Ravana and Sunny Singh plays Laxman.

Fans from around the country have expressed their disappointment on social media that the director of the movie, Om Raut made an epic like Ramayana in such a shady way that it left a bad taste in the mouths of those who saw Ramanand Sagar’s legendary Ramayan on Television.
Dipika Chikhlia broke her silence on Adipurush
Meanwhile, Dipika Chikhlia, who played the role of Sita in Ramanand Sagar’s famous mythological show Ramayan, spoke about Adipurush.
It has to be noted that Dipika has worked in several Bollywood movies and shows, however, she is still known and loved for the character of Goddess Sita that she played in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana. Dipika hasn’t watched Adipurush yet and given the negative criticism the movie is getting, she is unlikely to watch the movie.
Dipika shared a video on her official Instagram handle and revealed that she had been thinking about making this video but she was afraid that it might create a controversy. The OG Sita said,

“Namashkar, For a long time I have been thinking about making this video but then I thought I shouldn’t talk about it. I would not like to comment on the film Adipurush or give any tips as I have not even watched the film yet. However, I will talk about the future and every now and then in the years, there is a new Ramayan made either in films or serials. For us Indians, Ramayan is our ‘Dharohar’ and that’s why I feel that we should stop making Ramayan anymore. Every time when it’s remade, there is some controversy over it. Instead of that, we can teach Ramayan in schools and institutions because it might give a new direction and mindful learning for the new generation. That is all I would like to say as I am not trying to point out at anyone.”
Sharing the video, Dipika wrote,
“Not wanting to hurt any one but I felt need to speak … let’s respect and protect our faith Ramayan is to be revered not a source for entertainment.”
