Jaani Dushman dominates Adipurush Twitter reactions, with sympathies for Raavan

Adipurush, the controversial and 'heavily memed' adaptation of the Ramayana, has finally released on the big screen and Twitter is having a field day trolling it.
Disappointment and disappointment
Be it people disappointed with the "Jaani Dushman-level visual effects" or just Prabhas's unintentionally hilarious take on Ram, Adipurush is failing to draw the positive reactions that Ramanand Sagar's serial or the 1992 anime film earned in their time.
Japanese Ramayana > Om Rauts Ramayana....

Feeling bad for Fans who have been unconditional #Adipurush pic.twitter.com/YEuTsE9HQg
The most important question right now is: Why is Prabhas dressed like that? Twitterati are calling this white-robed Ram "Zeus" and "Jesus".
After watching visuals coming out of #Adipurush , My respect for Ramananda sagae has gone up 100x,26 years ago, without any technology and limited resources, he created magic, absolute magic which even after so many years remains unmatched.

Remember when Adipurush producers reserved one seat in each hall for Hanuman? Well, that wouldn't be the only empty seat if this goes on.
Looking at Adipurush reviews, producers will have to reserve 100% seats for Hanuman ji.

It's fine if humans are a no-show at screenings of Adipurush. The "vaanar sena" will still watch it!
Raavaan and his talking heads are also bound to give you a headache.
They tried to do this Ravan talking to himself thing,

If the VFX of Raavan's heads makes you cringe, find actual footage from Jaani Dushman!

The dialogues aren't getting any love either. The movie switches from archaic Hindi to masala dialogues like "teri jali na?"
Intervel in #Adipurush didnt expect it to be this bad! The dialogue writing is so horrible!

Guy after burning hanumans tail “kyu teri jali na”?
Hanuman- abhi tere baap ki jalegi!
And everyone in lanka looks like they have a 2023 ka modern barber! 😭😭 #AdipurushReview
One Twitter user has gone on to pitch RRR's Ram Charan as a better fit for Ram instead of Prabhas.
Worst Film, 👎👎🤧🤧

Vfx Too Bad 🤮#Adipurush #AdipurushReview #Prabhas𓃵 pic.twitter.com/wCWDzv3pkC
At the same time, some Prabhas fans beat up a man who spoke against the film! The ones who are ready to violently defend Adiprush... a rare breed indeed!
Every audience has their rights to express their opinion on the movie whether its good or bad .

Worst behavior by #Prabhas fans 😒
Police should take action against this animals. #Adipurush https://t.co/DipjnUdHVk
Meanwhile, here's a WTF-inducing conspiracy theory linking Karan Johar's Brahmastra. Well, at least Brahmastra's VFX work was much better.
Big Breaking:#Adipurush was a PR tactic by #KaranJohar to make people feel good about the Big Dharma Film, #Brahmastra

Reportedly, he wanted to people to realise what gem they were trolling & decided to teach them a lesson by showing what an actually bad film looks like.
Our sympathies for the Adipurush team and of course, CGI Raavan.
After watching Om Raut #Adipurush, I even feel bad for Ravan. pic.twitter.com/r3OT8VVhOc
