JE Entertainment Desk: 'Adipurush' hit the theatres on June 16, 2023. The Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer film triggered outrage among the audience soon after its release. From dialogues to casting, 'Adipurush' faced wrath of the viewers as well as critics, resulting in the film’s box office failure. Amid criticisms, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court slammed the censor board and makers of 'Adipurush'.
During a hearing on 'Adipurush', the court asked, “What is it that the censor board keeps doing? What do you want to teach the future generations?” The producer, director, and other parties' absences from the hearing were also questioned by the court. Kuldeep Tiwari, an attorney, submitted the petition.
'Adipurush', based on the epic Ramayana, opened to a disappointing response from the audience as well as the critics. The controversy surrounding the film sparked a number of demonstrations around the nation and forced the filmmakers to make some adjustments to the movie after it was released.
Here are some of the changed dialogues of 'Adipurush':
“Kapda tere baap ka… toh jalegi bhi tere baap ki" has been replaced with “Kapda teri Lanka ka… toh jalegi bhi teri Lanka.”
“Mere ek sapole ne tumhare iss sheshnaag ko lamba kar diya… bhara pada hai" has been modified to “Mere ek sapole ne tumhare iss sheshnaag ko samapt kar diya… bhara pada hai.”
“Tu andar kaise ghusa… tu jaanta bhi hai kaun hoon main" has been changed to “Tum andar kaise ghuse… tum jaante bhi ho kaun hoon main."
“Jo hamari behno… unki Lanka laga denge" has been replaced with “Jo hamari behno… unki Lanka mein aag laga denge."
