'Jaani Dushman levels of CGI': Netizens react to Prabhas-starrer Adipurush's teaser

Directed by Om Raut, Adipurush is all set to release on January 12 next year ahead of Sankranti

Soon after the teaser of Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer mythological drama Adipurush dropped on Sunday at around 7 pm, netizens commented on the poor quality of CGI with some likening it to films like Jaani Dushman and mobile games like Temple Run. A user also claimed that some scenes featuring Saif Ali Khan as Lankeshwar Ravana were lifted up from the popular HBO series Game of Thrones.

A user tweeted with a crying emoji, “Bruh this is Jaani Dushman levels of CGI.” Another user noted, “#AdipurushTeaser These guys make such cheap stuff to mockk Hindus and later lament that they are getting boycotted! Guys, if this is how you are going to portray Ravana, good luck.”

Some users, on the other hand, said the quality of CGI and VFX does not matter and that this is Ramayana and people will go with their family to watch nevertheless. A user wrote, “It’s not about VFX. It’s all about Ramayan, Lord Ram and Prabhas. Families will flood to theatres to make kids know about our Lord Ram. Mark my word. They’ll excuse everything. It’s a solid 2,000 crore movie. International hit.”

Users also went onto compare Adipurush with the 1992 Indo-Japanese anime film Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama. A user wrote, “A Japanese anime team had better understanding of Ramayana over so called Bollywood directors. Let that sink in.” Another user tweeted, “I was afraid that the teaser would be amazing but as expected Prabhas never fails us with his crown “I will act only in big budget movies”. Even Ramayana movie was extraordinary in those days.”

Let me give my opinion on the #AdipurushTeaser

I didn't have it in me to talk about #Adipurush yesterday.
I was so disheartened. Maybe I was expecting too much from Om Raut But Being a #KritiSanon Fan. I have been waiting for Adipurush for years now. pic.twitter.com/P2UPjWdhLU

#Prabhas𓃵 Anna should select the scripts by considering his fans too. The immense craze after Bahubali is getting drained now. Many fans are disappointed and they are making jokes than any other hero fan. #DisappointingAdipurish #AdipurushTeaser pic.twitter.com/lVXVTeZLXy

Film #AdipurushTeaser is the proof that it’s a big mistake of producer #BhushanKumar who has spent ₹450Cr on the film. #Ramayana can’t be explained in just 3 hours. While Every single detail has already shown in the Serial #Ramayana!

Even in that era this animation was beyond it's time...sad that some of the indians didn't allowed this ramayan anime considering this movie as cartoon and disrespect to hindus..bt for me this ramayana was the best..

I was afraid that the teaser would be amazing but as expected prabhas never fails us with his crown "i will act only in Big budget movies"😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Even anime of ramayana movie was extraordinary in those days.

A japanses anime team had better understanding of ramayana over so called bollywood directors

'Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama', a 1992 (Japanese)anime movie did more justice then what Bollywood can ever do to Hindu Epics.
It's much better compared to technology of that time and is still relevant now. pic.twitter.com/CNv1dfuANT

It’s not about VFX. It’s all about Ramayan, Lord Ram and Prabhas. Families will flood to theatre to make kids know about our Lord Raam. Mark my word. They’ll excuse everything. It’s a solid 2000 crore movie. International hit. #AdipurushTeaser pic.twitter.com/MNC1Z7EGwj
