3. They think Ramayan has been misinterpreted in the film as Sita Mata was never brought to the battlefield.
Was this movie #Adipurush shot inside a dark room with a Chinese mobile camera? ?600 they say has been spent, was it for laundering!!

4. Fans allege that the film sexualises Ram and Sita.
Entire Ramayana has been misrepresented in this movie. All Sanatani people together boycott this movie.

Save our Sanatan Dharma....

Chutiya Bollywood have sexualised The Ramayana, when it was Satya Yuga. Sri Ram looks more like Justus Christ witha moustache and Roman attire. Look at the way they have dressed Maa Sita.

If you¡¯re a true Sanatani, you will boycott Adipurush.#BoycottAdipurush pic.twitter.com/vdATpXj8Uj
5. When did Meghnad cut Sita's throat in Ramayan, they asked.
@omraut aur bhushan kumar ye accha nhi kiya tum logo ne sita maata ka gala cut kar diya?? What kind of ramayan is this? How can you even think of adding such false and defaming scenes??#AdipurushReview#AdipurushWithFamily#Prabhas#BoycottAdipurushpic.twitter.com/kJ1fPV6VYU

7. Fans are also not happy with Lord Hanuman's look.
With due respect, here you are slightly wrong, sir.

The boycott is not because, to stop producers to dare to make hindu theme based movies.
In the movie, Hanuman Ji is portrayed as a MULLA. Prabhu Shri Ram is wearing leather shoes. Do u think it's legitimate?#BoycottAdipurush pic.twitter.com/vOwA3AOWOh
8. Meghanad aka Indrajit looks like a tattoo artist.

9. They are also not happy with Ravan's double-decker faces.
Seriously @omraut when did Ravan had double-decker heads & Mu$lim looking faces without Vibhuti & Tilak?

What abt the bland colours? Has it happened only during night time?
Can u name the #Ramayana you referred or took inspiration from in making #Adipurush ?#BoycottAdipurush pic.twitter.com/TK1nc5y4F1
10. Hanuman's portrayal has also become a topic of discussion.

Earlier, Om Raut had defended Ravan's look in Adipurush.
"I am a big follower of Lord Ram. I have done nothing wrong in this film. We have not tampered with history, and I would call this history, our proud history. We kept the purity of this history while working on this. When I saw Ramanand Sagar¡¯s Ramayan on Doordarshan, it had a huge impact on me," he said as quoted by Aaj Tak.
He said that this Raavan has his own version of modern technology.
"When we saw that, it had a lot of modern technology. One arrow comes, 10 come out of it, then 100 come out of it. We had never seen all of this. This was very new for all of us. We didn¡¯t know about it. It was very popular in those days".
He said that his artistic representation saw the character a little differently.
"Ravan is a demon. He was a cruel being so he was given a big mustache, and they showed him as a demon in those times. It was their artistic representation of what a demon would look like. Our Ravan is demonic in today¡¯s times. In today¡¯s times, in my artistic opinion, a demon could look like this,¡± he added.
