These days, the trending story everywhere is RAUTAYAN i. e. , The celluloid version made on the basis of the great epic Ramayan as claimed by the makers of ADIPURUSH.
The elder generation of India are well familiar with the epic Ramayan,however the same thing can't be said about the middle aged and younger generation.
Middle aged people are familiar with Ramayana through movies brought by Great directors like Bapu, B. V. Reddy etc..
Movie goers, mostly belong to the younger generation, knew Ramayana through Amarachitra kadha like series and also through Ramanand sagar TV serial.
It is inevitable that these people compare the present movie #Adipirush# , with those classics and only when, they feel if it matches with those earlier movies then alone, they accept ADIPURUSH,in big numbers.
As of now, different reviews have come about, how far it could reach the audience. This is more important to the society at large rather than it's commercial success, however as of now it is reported that the grandly hyped movie is still short of the break even at, the time of writing this article.
I for one, who is in deep love with Valmiki Ramayan, and The Epic Hero Lord Rama ,may not be able to relish ,these improvisations which take the story away from it's essence and hence refrain from watching such a movie.
However I advice the younger generation, not familiar with Ramayana should watch the movie and also follow the trolls on the movie so that, they get an interest to know the Ramayana as told by Sage Valmiki, Tulsidas and yester Year greats and also the celluloid marvels brought by the Greats like Bapu, Ramananda sagar etc..
This helps the retention and continuation of our rich cultural heritage from one generation to the next and upholds the Classical richness of Valmiki Ramayana till the Sun. Moon ,stars. Earth exist as wished by the great epic poet, Sage Valmiki himself.
As per the reviews available from different sections of audience, these are the things that can be safely said about the movie.
1.There are so many deviations from the original like
A) the important episode of abduction of Sita by Ravana
B) The introduction scene of Hanuman to Raghava and Seshu
C) The fight between Vali and Sugreeva where the Rama kills Vali from behind a tree as per the original is omitted
D) Lankhini , Surpanakha etc characters are minimised
E) Vibhishana's Wife is elevated which deviates the original Ramayana to a great extent
F) The language spoken by Hanuman was said to be like an illiterate common Guyin the movie Adipurush, where as Hanuman is a great erudite Scholar in different grammars, Scholar in Vedas, excellent orator, gifted with rare spontaneous wit and unfathomable knowledge.
G) The battle scene was said boringly elaborated, beyond a limit, without giving importance to the actual epic like Agastyas mantropadesa (Aditya Hrudayam) to Rama, etc, giving unnecessary importance to the scenes which are averse to many like,Mandodari shown as widow even before Ravana enters the battle field, can really hurt the sentiments of those who love Ramayana in its original form.
How ever the movie made as a Pan Indian movie must rise the interest of the younger lot to wards the Original story and they are adviced to take their grand parents with themselves to watch the movie such that the bonding between the generations, improve and also the younger lot gets to know what is originally presented in Valmiki Ramayana, that would make an enlightened country, which continues to take pride in its rich heritage.
The Grand parents may also get to know , from their grand children the technical expertise of the makers of the movie in picturisation of the heroics of Raghava ,Ravana ,Hanuman etc at different instances in the movie .
Finally, it can be said that it is a timely released movie, which may pave a way to other Directors , who are interested to come with other plots based on MahaBharath, Puranas in Epic Style.
I wish Om Raut, Prabhas and other crew of the movie Adipurush all the best and great success too.
