ADIPURUSH Movie Review (Tamil) 

"Adipurush" is a highly anticipated movie that brings a beloved portion of the epic Ramayana to life using motion capture technology. The film stays true to the essence of the story, capturing the hearts of fans who are familiar with this tale from childhood. Director Om Rawat has taken on a special plot and beautifully displayed it on the screen, creating a memorable cinematic experience.

One of the standout elements of the film is the music. The score by Sanjit Balhara and Ankit Balhara is uplifting and enhances the storytelling. Songs like "Rama Sita Ram" and "Jhajal Malare" with music by Ajay-Atul and Chasset-Parampara are soul-stirring and add emotional depth to the narrative. The theme music of "Jaysreeram" is particularly remarkable, leaving a lasting impact throughout the film.

Keerthy Sanon delivers an impeccable performance as Sita, truly embodying the character. Her portrayal is captivating and adds depth to the emotional scenes. She stands out among the cast and leaves a lasting impression.

However, "Adipurush" falls short in some areas, especially when it comes to the graphics and animation. Despite the cautious team's efforts to improve the quality by investing additional funds, the animation still lacks the finesse and realism expected from a movie made using motion capture technology. The graphics resemble those seen in Hindi serials, which is disappointing given the film's high budget.

The fight scenes, including the opening fight between Sukrivan and Vali, as well as the scenes involving Ravana sitting on a giant bat, Rama Bridge construction, and Hanuman lifting the Sanjeevi mountain, should have been grandiose and visually stunning. However, the graphics fail to impress, with a video game-like quality that is only somewhat tolerable due to the film's 3D release. Moreover, it's disheartening to see scenes blatantly taken from Hollywood's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" without much originality or creativity.

Prabhas as Rama lacks the suitability for the character, with his stubbly mustache and rugged look not aligning with the traditional portrayal of Rama. His performance also falls flat, lacking emotional depth and variety in both the action and emotional scenes. Saif Ali Khan as Ravana starts off with an enjoyable portrayal, but it becomes monotonous and annoying as the film progresses, relying too heavily on a hoarse voice to establish his character.

Another aspect that disappoints is the lack of attention to detail in the costuming. The film fails to accurately represent the clothing worn in different lands and periods. Ravana and his courtiers are dressed like ancient Greek kings throughout the film, which seems out of place and inconsistent with the story's setting. Additionally, the depiction of Ravana with a step cut and trimmed beard is not aligned with any existing representation of the character.

Furthermore, the screenplay fails to engage the audience for the duration of the film. The pacing feels off, with too many songs, including ones for Ravana and Rama-Sita, in the first half hour, distracting from the story's progression. The lack of anticipation and excitement during the battle scenes is also notable, as the sloppy visuals fail to create a sense of tension or interest. The film could have benefited from a more engaging and tightly woven screenplay.

In conclusion, "Adipurush" falls short of expectations despite its ambitious attempt to bring a historical epic to the screen. While the music and Keerthy Sanon's performance are standout elements, the film lacks the visual finesse and engaging storytelling needed to fully captivate the audience. The weak visuals and questionable screenplay undermine the potential impact of this motion capture
