Adipurush' opens amid much fanfare, lukewarm reviews
Mumbai, Jun 16 (PTI) The much-discussed "Adipurush", a retelling of the Ramayana, opened on Friday to heightened emotions in many theatres with large crowds, a seat being reserved for Lord Hanuman and a man purportedly being beaten up in Hyderabad for criticising the film.
Directed by Om Raut and starring Prabhas as Raghav, Kriti Sanon as Janaki and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh, the movie is widely expected to have a bumper opening despite middling reviews.
For much of the day, "Adipurush" occupied social media space with videos and photographs of people offering prayers before settling down in their seats.
