The controversial Adipurush broke box office records on Day 1 while the internet is still debating over what it thinks of the film. The film’s teaser received backlash for allegedly misrepresenting Hindus and showing a false depiction of Lord Ram and Hanuman. Despite all this hate, the film still managed to become a box office hit on Day 1 itself.

Amidst all this backlash, a clip from Shah Rukh Khan’s Swades has gone viral on the internet. The scene from the 2004 film shows King Khan and Gayatri Joshi’s Ramayana scene. People on social media are claiming that the scene was way better than the film Adipurush.

There were fans who loved the film while haters dissed it for its poor VFX and dialogue delivery. To make matters worse for the film, the Ashutosh Govarikar film’s scene is being used as a comparison. In the film sequence, Shah Rukh is explaining Ramayana during a Ram Leela scene to the audience by singing it.
