Due to differences with original Ramayana the Indian audience did not accept Adipurush.

Adipurush earned 480 crores in 14 days but remained average earner. Adipurush did worldwide business of 410 crores in 7 days but there are differences which are standing in the way for making it a hit. In Adipurush, Ravana is shown to be taller than Lord Rama which is wrong. When Lord Rama with his monkey army or vanar sena had entered Sri Lanka, the fear that was existing in Lankan soldiers were not found. Hanuman could not identify Sanjeevani Booti so picked up the entire mountain. In the film it was shown he did it to save other soldiers. The good thing was the heroism shown for Meghnad Indrajit. But again Kumbhakarna's role was short and insignificant. The performances of Prabhash and Saif Ali Khan was good.
