Actor Arun Mandola, who is known for playing the role of Lakshmana in the shows ‘Sankat Mochan Mahabali Hanumaan’ and ‘Vighnaharta Ganesha’, says that recently released film ‘Adipurush’ has been a disappointing experience to watch.
He adds that the film has grave errors.
“There are significant mistakes in ‘Adipurush’. Any common person can point out 100 mistakes in the film. People hold a lot of respect for Ramayana and Lord Ram, Lakshman, Mata Sita, and Hanuman and are obviously irked to see the makers made numerous mistakes in Adipurush,” he said.
He added: “The biggest problem in Adipurush is the lack of conviction. If you lack conviction in anything, the results will be zero. I am shocked to see the movie’s dialogue, VFX, costumes, etc. The list of mistakes seems endless.”
