Here is why Ramayan is going to be different than Adipurush. All the records for the box office are going to break?

When comparing Adipurush and the upcoming Ramayana film, there are several key points of distinction and similarity to consider:

1. Cinematic Vision and Scale:

– Ramayana (2026–2027) promises to be a grand, visually stunning, and authentic adaptation of the ancient epic, aiming for historical accuracy and cultural significance. Produced by Namit Malhotra, the film is expected to be a cinematic spectacle with a massive ₹825 crore budget. It will be released in two parts, and Malhotra’s personal investment in the project adds to the anticipation of its scale and depth.
– *Adipurush* (2023), on the other hand, made headlines for its ambitious attempt to bring the epic to the screen with advanced visual effects but faced criticism for its portrayal and the lack of authenticity in its design and CGI work. Directed by Om Raut, it was more focused on modernizing the narrative and characters to appeal to contemporary audiences, though it didn’t resonate as well with traditional fans of the Ramayana.

STAR CAST

– The star cast of *Ramayana* includes Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Devi Sita, and Yash as Ravana, with the casting choices aiming to create a mix of star power and authenticity. This film also promises a grand ensemble, with actors known for their ability to deliver powerful performances.
– *Adipurush* featured Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon as Sita, and Saif Ali Khan as Ravana, with a cast that, while star-studded, faced significant backlash for the portrayal of characters, especially Saif Ali Khan’s Ravana, which many felt deviated too far from the traditional representation.

 Anticipation and Public Reception:

– Ramayana is generating significant excitement, particularly with the first glimpses of its stars and the promise of a faithful adaptation. The official release dates (Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027) have fueled excitement, especially with its potential to break box office records. The high expectations surrounding the project, including the massive budget, have built an air of anticipation that suggests the film could redefine the Diwali release experience.
– Adipurush had similarly generated buzz prior to its release, but this was followed by widespread criticism for its special effects, dialogue, and interpretation of sacred characters. Despite the initial excitement, the film’s reception was mixed, with many feeling that it failed to live up to the grandeur it had promised.

 Cultural and Historical Significance:

– *Ramayana* seems to be taking a more traditional and reverent approach to its source material. The production team emphasizes the importance of presenting an authentic portrayal of the epic, hoping to honor its sacred nature and cultural significance.
– *Adipurush*, while inspired by the Ramayana, took creative liberties with the script and character designs, leading to controversy. The film’s attempt to modernize the story was seen by some as disrespectful to the original text, with many fans of the epic feeling that it failed to capture the depth and reverence of the source material.

 Box Office Expectations:

– Ramayana is set to have a massive Diwali release, with projections suggesting that the two-part film could surpass the earnings of top Diwali releases like Tiger 3 and Singham Again. Its massive budget and high expectations make it one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema history.
– *Adipurush*, despite its high-profile release, had a lukewarm box office performance, partly due to the backlash over its execution and reception. It did well in certain markets but failed to meet expectations for a big-budget mythological film.

In summary, while *Adipurush* tried to modernize the Ramayana for a new generation, Ramayana (2026–2027) seems to be taking a more traditional and faithful approach, focusing on authenticity and reverence for the source material. The star power, massive budget, and cultural significance of *Ramayana* have made it one of the most anticipated films, with high expectations to redefine the Diwali box office.
