Nitesh Tiwari Ramayana Vs Adipurush: Following the downward trend of Adipurush, a plethora of questions still arise to ascertain if Nitesh Tiwari can create a life out of the Ramayana. With actor Ranbir Kapoor playing the lead alongside Sai Pallavi and Yash, the pressure is immense to lay a cinematic ground without disregarding cultural sentiments. But does he have it in him to create a blockbuster out of it?
With hits like Dangal and Chhichhore under his belt, there is no doubting the fact that Tiwari is quite at home with the great storytelling at an emotional level or in scaling up to big productions. Unlike Adipurush, Tiwari’s grounded approach and respect toward subject matter with attention to emotional detail and cultural nuances will help in making a difference.
Adipurush relied on much hype, which led to its disappointment. It just didn’t hold up the entertainment quotient. One of the foremost charges against the project was weak writing and poor creative choices. Tiwari’s Ramayana is going to bring the audience back to something more authentic with all the hallmarks of traditional visuals and streamlined aesthetics, as well storytelling that strikes very personal chords. The casting of Ranbir Kapoor as Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana shows great planning, combining star potential and acting depth.

Tiwari finds himself treading a thin line regarding audience trust and cultural sensitivity in light of the movie Adipurush. Care is being exercised in the scripting process according to reports regarding how other areas are sensitive in terms of dialogue, costuming accuracy, and visual tone- areas in which Adipurush fell short.
The uncertainty of Adipuru has really darkened the horizon above, but Nitesh Tiwari has enough experience and creative maturity to deliver a Ramayana which is meaningful, sensitive to culture, and above all, visually grand. If well done, it would not only heal the scars left behind by failures but also set a new precedent in Indian mythological cinema.
