Manoj Muntashir has been getting a lot of flak from netizens on social media. There's a dialogue said by Lord Hanuman in the movie with Indrajit lighting up his tail which has particularly not gone down well with the audience. The Lord Hanuman (played by Devdatta Nage) says, "Kapda tere baap ka. Tel tere baap ka. Aag bhi tere baap ki. Toh jalegi bhi tere baap ki." The dialogue is called Chhapri by the audience. That's just one dialogue and there are many such which have been criticized in Prabhas and Kriti Sanon starrer.
