Lyricist Manoj Muntashir hit back at comparisons between Adipurush and upcoming film Ramayana's songs, saying his work showed devotion, not 'nursery rhymes or qawwalis.' He acknowledged Adipurush was a bad film but defended its songs, noting they are still heard across Ayodhya's streets. Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, releases November 5.
