Why Adipurush’s success is necessary [for both critics and supporters]

Why Adipurush’s success is necessary [for both critics and supporters]
Share on FacebookShare on X

Adipurush, the highly anticipated film directed by Om Raut, has managed to create a significant buzz. Despite the initial mixed reactions to the teaser, subsequent changes and the release of subsequent trailers have left audiences divided. However, there are compelling reasons why the success of Adipurush is not only bound to happen but is also necessary to address various reactions.

Let’s find out why, in a society currently experiencing a cultural catharsis, the film has become a focal point of discussion and debate.

Navigating Controversial Portrayals

The Om Raut directorial “Adipurush” is not immune to controversy, with debates revolving around the portrayal of characters like Shri Ram, Ravan, Prabhu Hanuman and Devi Sita. However, it is important to recognize that there are no absolute answers to these questions. Different versions and interpretations of these personalities already exist in our society, and any cinematic depiction is bound to upset the sentiments of some groups. It becomes crucial for viewers to form opinions based on the sincerity of the filmmakers’ intent and their fair take on the subject matter, avoiding unnecessary secularization or attempts to balance all viewpoints.

Taking a Sanatani approach to plurality of opinions, we should strive to examine beliefs rationally without necessarily accepting them. It is worth contemplating why  Rome and Egypt perished under the onslaught of the Abrahamics while Sanatan Dharma has survived despite the challenges of 400 years of Mughal rule followed by 200 years of British rule. The answer lies in the ability of Hinduism to hold onto a core set of beliefs while externally adapting, pivoting, and metamorphosing into various sects, denominations, and groups. Adipurush and other nationalistic/Sanatani movies contribute to this evolving ecosystem, even if they stretch the truth for cinematic portrayal.

The changing face of Indian Cinema

It is essential to give movies like Adipurush a fair chance and avoid complaining about the lack of a Sanatani art ecosystem. The success of independent films like “The Kerala Story,” which garnered impressive numbers without extensive support or PR, demonstrates the potential and demand for narratives aligned with nationalistic and cultural pride. Rather than dismissing such movies, it is vital to evaluate them based on their intent and their ability to provide fresh perspectives that challenge conventional norms.

The Covid-19 pandemic forced a hiatus in the film industry, providing audiences with an opportunity to reflect on their consumption habits. As a result, viewers began seeking alternatives and evaluating what they watched through the lens of nationalistic pride. The audience that emerged from the pandemic was no longer satisfied with mindless capers and the traditional song-and-dance routines. The rise of platforms like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts showcased alternative forms of entertainment and shifted our comfort towards small screens with lower resolutions.

Embracing Enlightened Entertainment

Audiences now demand films that dare to show the stark, naked truth. As the perception of Bollywood changes from mere entertainment to enlightenment, filmmakers must embrace the challenge and deliver content that is authentic, thought-provoking, and unafraid to challenge the status quo. While some filmmakers may still not fully grasp this message, it is important to support those who strive to create cinematic experiences that resonate with truth-seeking audiences. For instance, if we have any issues with “Adipurush”, we always have the right to make enough noise for better products. Had that not been the case, no SS Rajamouli would have attempted to make a flick like “Baahubali” or “RRR”, or no Sudipto Sen would’ve attempted a flick like “The Kerala Story”. Moreover, when projects like “Hanuman” and different versions of “Ramayan” are already in the ploy, why to give our opponents a free run? If they can unite for mediocre films like “Pathaan” and “Brahmastra”, “Adipurush” even in its worst form would any-day be better.

While some agenda-oriented filmmakers have turned to OTT platforms, it is unlikely to sustain them in the long run. Bollywood’s historical knack for draining the resources of big Hollywood studios, forcing them to retreat, serves as a cautionary tale. The revolution we are witnessing in cinema may bring forth messy moments and differing viewpoints, such as those seen in Adipurush. However, it is crucial to keep faith in the bigger picture and recognize that progress often requires a “maybe” before turning a “no” into a “yes.”

The success of Adipurush and other films like the same, holds significance not just for its own narrative but also for the broader cultural dialogue it represents. It is a reminder that cinema has the power to reflect societal changes, challenge existing beliefs, and create a space for diverse perspectives. As audiences, we have the responsibility to critique and demand better while supporting films that dare to push boundaries and provide us with a deeper understanding of our culture and heritage.
