Adipurush vs Ramayana: Lyricist's Timing Fuels Debate
26 Oct
Summary
- Manoj Muntashir shared an Adipurush song on the same day Ramayana released a new track.
- Social media users questioned if the timing was a tactic to divert attention.
- This incident revisits the controversy surrounding Adipurush's dialogues.
Lyricist Manoj Muntashir has become the subject of online discussion after releasing a song from the film Adipurush on October 25, 2026. This release occurred on the same day that Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film Ramayana unveiled its new song, 'Mangal Rang.'
Social media users quickly questioned the timing of Muntashir's post on X, with many suspecting it was a calculated move. Some users suggested he aimed to redirect attention to Adipurush's music while the Ramayana song faced criticism. This incident also brought back memories of the controversy surrounding Adipurush's dialogues, which Muntashir had written.
This is not the first time Muntashir's song releases have coincided with those from Ramayana. Previously, after Ramayana released 'Jai Jai Ram' on September 14, 2026, Muntashir shared 'Ram Siya Ram' from Adipurush the following day. These patterns have led users to question if there's a deliberate message behind his actions.
Adipurush, released in June 2023 and inspired by the Hindu epic, faced significant backlash for its dialogues, visual effects, and character portrayals. Following widespread criticism, the film's dialogues were revised, and Muntashir later issued an apology for the hurt caused by certain lines. Despite the past controversy, some users still appreciate Adipurush's music.
