Thousands of years ago, the demon king Lankesh gets a boon from the god of creation Brahma that he could not be slain by Devas nor demons, thus making him invincible. Elsewhere, King Dashratha of [[Kosala]] exiles his son Raghava for 14 years to fulfill his promise to his wife Kaikeyi, Raghava's stepmother, that her son would take the throne. Raghava accepts this and lives in the wilderness with his wife Janaki and his brother Shesh in the forests of [[Panchavati]], near the river [[Godavari]].

Lankesh's sister, the [[demoness]] Shurpanakha, tries to seduce the brothers and attempts to take Janaki's life, but after a failed attempt, the demoness ends up losing her ears and nose. Upon hearing of his sister's humiliation, Lankesh abducts Janaki in revenge. Raghava and Shesh set out to free Janaki with the help of the Monkey King Sugriva, his aide, Bajarang, and their monkey army. With the help of the Sea God, they are able to create a bridge across the sea ([[Ram Setu]]). Raghava and his army successfully cross the ocean to reach the shores of [[Lanka]]. Meanwhile Lankesh's brother Vibhishana is forced to leave Lanka because the later had opposed Lankesh's decision of abducting Janaki. Vibhishana joins Raghava's army. Lankesh is given a final ultimatum but rejects and starts a war.

During the war Shesh gets injured by Lankesh's son Indrajit but with the help of [[Sanjivani (Hinduism)|sanjivani]] brought by Bajrang they are able to cure him. They again embark on a war and emerge victorious by overpowering Lankesh's army. Raghava and Shesh successfully kill Kumbhakarna (Lankesh's brother) and Indrajit. With no other option, Lankesh decides to go in the battlefield himself. A battle takes place where Raghava manages to kill Lankesh and Janaki is set free. Raghava, Shesh and Janaki completes their 14 year long exile and return back to Kosala, where Raghava is crowned as the king.

Slamming the makers of the movie Adipurush for portraying religious characters including Lord Rama and Lord Hanuman in an objectionable manner, the Allahabad High Court today observed as to why the tolerance level of a particular religion (referring to Hindus) was being put to the test by them.  

Manoj Muntashir wrote the dialogues of [[Om Raut|Om Raut's]] film ''Adipurush''. The dialogues of the film were criticised for being too flippant or unserious, and containing modern-day slang and lingo in a setting from centuries ago. Lines like ‘jalegi tere baap ki’, ‘teri bua ka bageecha hai kya’, and ‘Lanka laga denge’ being uttered by gods did not go down well with a large section of the viewers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Meet Manoj Muntashir, writer of Adipurush's 'cringe' dialogue, would take his shoes off out of respect when writing film |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/bollywood/report-meet-manoj-muntashir-writer-of-adipurush-s-much-criticised-dialogue-prabhas-om-raut-saif-ali-khan-vfx-3047970 |access-date=2023-06-17 |website=DNA India |language=en |archive-date=2023-06-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230617023310/https://www.dnaindia.com/bollywood/report-meet-manoj-muntashir-writer-of-adipurush-s-much-criticised-dialogue-prabhas-om-raut-saif-ali-khan-vfx-3047970 |url-status=live }}</ref>
