The much-anticipated mythological film ‘Adipurush,’ directed by Om Raut and starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan, hit theaters worldwide yesterday. However, even before its release, the movie encountered criticism for its subpar visual effects (VFX). As negative reviews poured in, an old tweet by director Om Raut resurfaced, drawing attention and irony. Fans now turned the tables and used the tweet to humorously roast the movie and its director.
Backlash Over Poor VFX
The release of ‘Adipurush’ was marred by fans’ concerns about the visual effects, costume choices, and portrayal of mythological characters. Critics argued that including what they perceived as ‘modern’ elements was unnecessary and detracted from the film’s authenticity. Several negative reviews criticized the VFX and the dialogues, further adding to the disappointment.
Director’s Old Tweet
As the criticism intensified, an old tweet by director Om Raut gained traction. Dated June 6, 2016, the tweet subtly compared the Marathi film ‘Sairat’ to Shah Rukh Khan‘s ‘Fan,’ both released around the same time. Raut’s tweet read, “#Sairat box office declared at 80cr. Crosses #SRK starrer #FAN. Now that’s what I call #Zingat.” Fans now seized the opportunity to highlight the irony of the situation, considering the backlash ‘Adipurush’ faced. However, he has now deleted the tweet.

Memes And Roasting
