Aashiesh Sharrma response on Adipurush

He stated, “I was really excited initially because I thought our cinema is waking up to our scriptures. We’ve been so ignorant of our own scriptures for a long time. And finally, it seemed we are waking up. You go in with that kind of expectation, and then you see something like that and then it really disappoints from an audience point of view. And also from an actor’s and an artists’ point of view, it is even more disappointing. The film lacks intent and research. It is a lazy attempt at making Ramayana and it’s like you’ve made it out of WhatsApp forwards. You’re trying to play to the gallery and it shows in the content. It’s like just trying to cash in on to the Hindu wave in the nation right now. “
He additional added that the movie displays how the makers have copied from Western movies and their fashion of filmmaking. “I think our filmmakers are suffering from an inferiority complex. We have a colonised mindset. We feel shame in depicting our culture, our society the way it is and the way it has been. Rather than taking pride in it, we try to ape the Western style of filmmaking. I understand they are much more advanced in technology. So take the technology, use the resources, but tell an Indian story! Do not tell a Westernised version of an Indian story Very few of our filmmakers have a truly India-rooted outlook towards our own culture and society. We do not make such brains right now. So it’s really difficult to see authentic stuff right now,” he stated.
