Adipurush directed by Om Raut stars Prabhas (Raghav) and Kriti Sanon as Janaki and Saif Ali Khan as Raavan. The news of the film being banned in Nepal made headlines soon after its release on June 16, Friday. The film was stopped from being screened at the Nepal theatres because, in one of its dialogues, the film claimed Sita to be “India’s Daughter”. Kathmandu’s mayor Balen Shah posted a tweet about the same and wrote that Janaki (Sita) was born in Nepal and not India. He also gave the makers of the film an ultimatum of three days to rectify the mistakes for Adipurush to resume in theatres.

Om Raut was immensely trolled on Twitter for his final product. Many audiences criticised the film for being cartoonish and delivering demeaning dialogues from the characters of a mythological epic. But on the other hand, Kriti Sanon’s grace and portrayal of Sita on-screen received positive reactions from the public. Her beauty as the on-screen Sita was also loved by the viewers.
