Heavy criticism was levelled at one particular line. The exact moment was when Devdatta Nage speaking in the role of Bajrang remarked, "Kapda tere baap ka, aag tere baap ki, tel tere baap ka, jalegi bhi teri baap ki." Prabhas plays Raghav in the Om Raut-directed movie, which also stars Kriti Sanon as Janaki and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh.

Manoj said, "It is not an error. It is a very meticulous thought process that has gone into writing the dialogues for Bajrang Bali and for all the characters. We have made it simple because we have to understand one thing: if there are multiple characters in a film, all cannot speak the same language. There has to be a kind of diversion, a kind of division."

He further added, “Humare yahan daadiyan, naniyan jab Ramayan ki kathaye sunati thi, jo isi bhaasha mein sunaati thi. Yeh dialogue jiska aapne zikar kiya, yeh iss desh ke sant, bade bade katha vachak aisi hi bolte hai jaise maine likha hai (When grandmothers narrated the tales of Ramayan they used this language. The dialogue you mentioned, priests and narrators used to say in the same way I have written). I am not the first one to write this dialogue, it's already there."
