Adipurush movie review: what critics say (16)
What critics say Critics are divided: none of the 16 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 4 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the visuals, the music and the direction.
In the opening moments of ‘Adipurush’, we see Raavan throwing his head back, and laughing. He is stomping through the snow, one shoulder rising, the other dipping, just like a cartoon character, and going ha-ha-ha-ha.

Read the full reviewOm Raut’s Adipurush has passion, ambition and scale. What Raut’s adaptation of the Ramayana lacks is a sense of wonderment.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
