The upcoming Indian mythological film ‘Adipurush’ starring actors Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles received a lot of flak after the official teaser of the film was dropped, back in October last year.
People thought the makers could have paid more attention to hiring better VFX and animation artists to avoid the cartoonish-looking poor VFX.
#Adipurush teaser uses borrowed VFX of typical video games. No character looks Indian. Hanuman et al wear leather like mediaeval Europeans. Sita dresses weirdly in purple giving artificial pose.
Not the way Ramayan exists in minds of Hindus since ages or in scriptures. Avoid. pic.twitter.com/f7HxfFbCy2

Even though the makers paid heed to the criticism and worked on providing better quality VFX, people online remained unimpressed by it too considering the budget of the film. They thought that the makers just did some basic colour grading. This is what they said:

Adipurush will be remembered forever how a live-action should not be made.
