Mashable India’s review for the film described it as a disappointment. It added, “Prabhas’ rendition of Lord Ram reminded us of his Baahubali character which is less flamboyant. There are a few scenes where the powerful dialogue delivery evokes some devotion, but it’s all played by Sharad Kelkar (Lord Rama in the Hindi version). Thank you also for the voice of Ram. of Adipurush).”
