From 'Ganpat' to 'Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan', the last few years have seen many big budget films failing at the box office. Despite big stars and big budget, these films could not attract the audience. The effect was that the makers had to suffer huge losses and the stardom of many stars also got affected. In 2023 also, a big budget film was released in theaters, in which many big stars were seen, but as soon as it was released, this film came under the target of trolls. There was a lot of trouble from the cast to the writer of the film, due to which the makers themselves had to come forward to clarify. Can you tell the name of this film?
This film had dashed the expectations of the makers.
The film we are talking about is 'Adipurush' directed by Om Raut, which was released in June 2023. Even though the film stars Pan India star Prabhas, Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan, National Award winning director Om Raut and India's top production house T-Series were part of this film and it was made on a budget of Rs 600 crore. It was there, but the makers did not get anything done. The film was such a hit at the box office that it got the title of disaster.
The film came under the target of trolls as soon as the teaser was released.
Ever since the teaser of the film was released, it became the target of trolls. The very first glimpse of Adipurush had disappointed the fans, after which the audience tried their best to assure the audience that the film would be good, they would make changes in it, but nothing worked. When Adipurush, based on the epic Ramayana, was released in theaters, the makers were ridiculed for the look and dialogues of the actors. When questions were raised on everything from Ravana's look to Hanuman's dialogues, the makers themselves had to come forward and provide clarification and apologize.
Dialogues were also criticized
Talking about the budget, the budget of Adipurush was around Rs 600 crores. When the film was released, after seeing its VFX, users on social media started comparing its budget with the Chandrayaan project. Users said that the budget of the film was more than the Chandrayaan project, yet it was painful to watch it on the big screen. The film got a strong start due to Prabhas's fan following, but negative word-of-mouth let it down. The dialogues of the film became even more disgusting. The effect was that this film could not even touch the figure of Rs 400 crores and according to the report of SACNL, it could barely even reach the collection of Rs 393 crores.
