In a tweet, she demanded an apology from the film's makers and said that the dialogues were disrespectful to the characters of the Hindu epic Ramayana.

"The dialogue writer of 'Adipurush'바카라 웹사이트@manojmuntashir, as well as the director, should apologise to the nation for the pedestrian dialogues written for the movie, especially for Lord Hanuman," she tweeted.

"It hurts every Indian's sensibilities to see the kind of language being attributed to our revered gods in the name of entertainment. 바카라 웹사이트You make a movie on Maryada Purushottam Ram and cross all boundaries of Maryada for quick box office success is unacceptable," she added.

"The writer who calls Hanuman 'Tere Baap ki Jali' is not only a squid, but the Hindu is also a very vulgar type," she further said.

The film invited more trouble after Hindu Sena national president filed a PIL in the Delhi high court seeking the removal of some바카라 웹사이트'objectionable scenes' relating to "Ravana, Lord Ram, Mata Sita바카라 웹사이트and Hanuman', Livelaw reported.

The Congress too came down heavily on바카라 웹사이트the writer of the film.

Comparing Adipurush with Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana, Congress's social media head Surpiya Shrinate said the veteran playwright and filmmaker did not hurt the faith of crores of people with the iconic TV show of the late 80s and early 90s but “imprinted a sweet, gentle and charming image of Ram and Sita on the minds and hearts of the society.”

“This is the difference between religion and the business of religion,” Shrinate wrote in a long post바카라 웹사이트Twitter.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh바카라 웹사이트said the movie once again proved that BJP is a cheap, 'sadak-chhap' party as the movie received blessings from several BJP and ally leaders including Yogi Adityanath, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Eknath Shinde, Devendra Fadnavis, Manohar Lal Khattar, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Pushkar Singh Dhami, and Narottam Mishra.

"The BJP is not of the Ram, aam (general public) or kaam (work). It only does its dirty politics," AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said.

"The dialogues are so derogatory like바카라 웹사이트kapda yere baap ka, tel tere baap ka, jalegi bhi tere baap ki/teri bua ka bagicha hai ktya jo hawa khane chala aya.바카라 웹사이트Manoj Muntashir wrote whatever he was asked to write," he further said.

The day of the release witnessed further hiccups after바카라 웹사이트screening of the바카라 웹사이트film was바카라 웹사이트put on hold in cinema halls across Kathmandu after City Mayor Balendra Shah asked the makers to rectify the mistake about the birthplace of Sita.

"Until the line 'Janaki is a daughter of India' contained in the South Indian film 'Adipurush' is removed not just in Nepal but also in India, no Hindi films will be allowed to run in Kathmandu Metropolitan City (sic)," Mayor Shah wrote on Facebook on Thursday.

Nepal's film certification board also said that the permission to screen the film in theatres will be granted only after changing the dialogue that describes "Sita as India's daughter".
