'Adipurush', which is a dramatic retelling of Ramayana, has been constantly under the scanner ever since the makers released the film.
From critics to reviewers, several people from across the country have expressed disappointment over the film's certain dialogues. Some of which include 'marega bete', 'bua ka bagicha hain kya' and 'jalegi tere baap ki'.
In the wake of such flak, the makers of 'Adipurush' revamped the dialogues. The film stars Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti as Goddess Sita, Sunny Singh as Laxman and Saif Ali Khan as Ravan.
