Brahmastra

Brahmastra movie review: You keep yearning for magic in this Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt film. Part fantasy, part mythological, part action-adventure, part desi ...

The VFX is non-stop (at one point, a troll-like army appears, and disappears), the blaring music keeps wanting to bludgeon us into submission, and we are left yearning for magic. And that truly is the problem with the film, which is meant to be the most expensive Bollywood has produced. The target is, naturally, our hero Shiva and Isha, another name for his faithful Parvati, and a small subsect of people (Brahmansh) quietly residing in the high reaches of the Himalayas, as defenders of the faith, and warriors armed with weapons with primal powers. One of the better portions involves Shiva being put through his paces by the elder Guru (Amitabh Bachchan), as he (Shiva) plays, literally, with fire, and the screen lights up. Bookended by the surprise presence of Shah Rukh Khan and the one and only [Amitabh Bachchan](https://indianexpress.com/about/amitabh-bachchan/), and a middle lifted by the affable Nagarjuna.

Brahmastra movie review: Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are electric in this Ayan Mukerji spectacle. The film is a treat for long-waiting fans of Hindi cinema ...

Making Brahmastra even more special are Alia and Ranbir - the souls of the film. While the story of Brahmastra was never really meant to be simple, it's the magic of VFX (all made in India), treatment of the astras, and grandeur of everything surrounding the characters that make it a visual spectacle and truly a cinematic experience to be enjoyed on the big screen. And talking of fighting scenes, the action choreography is next level and on par with some of the best we see in films like RRR and Baahubali. Oh, there's also another veteran actor, a member of Brahmansh, who has been given exactly two dialogues and has been royally wasted in this ensemble cast. Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor) is a DJ who falls for Isha (Alia Bhatt) at first sight and as their romance blossoms, his quest to find the reason behind his strange connection with fire becomes even stronger. Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva is a love story at the core, but it soon takes form of a fight between the good and the evil when the energies that rule this universe take control.

Mukerji is one of the best story tellers of his generation with Ranbir Kapoor as his muse and Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva is the just the beginning of Mukerji' ...

Mukerji being the genius he is has already sowed the seed of curiosity for Brahmastra part two even before the movie ends. Nagarjuna has a short screen time but a mighty screen presence as he wields the Nandi Astra in the movie. That’s when Amitabh Bachchan comes in and he plays a very important member of the secret society Brahmānsh. Amongst these divine weapons, lies the ultimate weapon called Brahmastra, that has the ability to control all the Astras and it is now awakening again. Right off the bat, Brahmastra has some of the most stunning VFX scenes to ever be seen in a Bollywood movie and it is an absolute visual feast. The movie gives you everything that it promised but also gives you things that were not needed.

Despite being rooted in ancient Indian mythology, the action film borrows heavily from its Hollywood equivalents in structure and vision.

As the leader of the Brahmansh, Bachchan more than lives up to his role and gets to throw a few punches. But while much of the story is focused on Shiva's backstory as well as the discovery of his true identity, we know so little of Isha's, besides the fact that her family is rich and that she's visiting from London. A concerned Isha decides to help Shiva interpret his apparitions and the two set off on a journey that will eventually lead them to members of the Brahmansh who, it turns out, have a lot more in common with Shiva than just his visions. Centuries ago, the story goes, a group of sages learnt to harness the power of light and use them as weapons. [Ayan Mukerji](https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/film/2021/12/24/could-ayan-mukerjis-brahmastra-be-the-superhero-franchise-bollywood-needs/)'s long-awaited superhero film, the first in a planned trilogy, is ambitious in scope and purpose. But Mukerji, who is known mostly for his acclaimed slice-of-life dramas such as Wake Up Sid (2009) and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013), borrows so heavily from Hollywood filmmakers, both in structure and visually, that the audience is left with no choice but to make comparisons.

Brahmastra review: This Ranbir-Alia movie bets big on its visual elements and the overall plot. VFX is the one thing that binds this spectacular film ...

RECOMMENDED All things and flaws considered, the vision for Brahmastra is astounding, and not easily seen in Indian cinema. VFX is the one thing that binds this spectacular movie together. The pace of the movie is not consistent, with some parts of the movie being very slow, while some are fast-paced. Who would reveal their deepest darkest fears to a girl they met minutes ago? The dialogues add nothing, only take away from the movie. But to actually see her owning those and doing more than justice to her role, while looking perfect in every scene can only be credited to talent. Nagarjuna’s Anish Shetty is an architect, who wields an astra too that has connection to Lord Shiva. To make them – and us – explain how it works, Mukerji uses the tried and tested charms of bigwigs like Nagarjuna and Shah Rukh Khan as members of the Brahmansh. He knows bits and parts of the grand scheme but cannot fathom the enormity of it. The first part of the trilogy lays the groundwork, but also throws us into the world of Shiva, which he can’t just yet make much sense of. Let’s cut to the chase.

Brahmastra, co-starring Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor in lead roles, releases today. The Ayan Mukerji-directorial also stars Amitabh Bachchan, ...

It's an ambitious film with love and light at its core, and it's evident that the filmmaker has charted many territories - from the world of Harry Potter to Hindu mythology to visual storytelling and more. The film is also backed by impressive music, and some of its tracks grow on you throughout its course. Brahmastra, in totality, is the story of the astras (borrowed from Hindu mythology) and the superheroes who wield them and constitute the Brahmansh. The scale is grand but the story doesn't live up to it and that's the most disappointing part. All the forces are in one way or the other harnessed into the astras or weapons of the light. The Astraverse is essentially an ode to the supreme forces (jal, vaayu and agni) that are believed to be the reason for life in existence.

Brahmastra has its flaws and its debts, but the bigger question is: will audiences go for a spectacle that's all warmth and soft edges?

Brahmastra merges these worlds: the framework and splashy effects of a Hollywood movie retrofitted onto a story populated with Hindu gods and goddesses. But that film was unlike anything Hollywood was doing at the time, whereas Indian and foreign viewers alike will recognize the familiar foundations of Brahmastra, even if the construction on top is new. Shiva—who's impervious to fire—produces a blast of flaming energy, blowing away the advancing henchman. When he comes to, he decides to go to Varanasi to warn the man whose name was given up (Nagarjuna), and who has a fragment of the Brahmastra. This torture appears in a violent vision—not the only time the film reminded me of Harry Potter—to Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor) at just the wrong time, when the carefree DJ is showing curious rich girl Isha (Alia Bhatt) his nifty-looking loft in a chawl. From there on, it’s spot-the-Hollywood-blockbuster, with narrative devices and structures nicked from a variety of franchises.

Impressed with the film, many fans predicted that the superhero flick will "create new records" at the box-office.

People also shared videos showing what went down inside the movie halls 'Brahmastra' was played on the silver screen.

Bollywood's answer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a star-studded special effects extravaganza with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt as convincing romantic ...

Mukerji’s biggest achievement is getting this relationship to flourish, Kapoor and Bhatt being among the precious few real-life couples with palpable onscreen chemistry. The film eventually assumes the familiar shape of the pixelated beat-’em-up, with Amitabh Bachchan outgrowling MCU’s Patrick Stewart as a guru overseeing a Himalayan training camp. Thereafter, the torch of righteousness passes to pin-up Ranbir Kapoor as EDM-blasting DJ Shiva, clueless modern scion of a long-secret society, obliged to save the world from Mouni Roy’s old-school villainess – while solving the mysteries of his lineage and wooing rich girl Isha (Alia Bhatt).

Alia Bhatt's striking performance could not save film from falling flat.

The same will happen with the next set of actors who decide to be part of Brahmastra movie cast. Given that this is the first time Bollywood has even attempted a film in this genre and at such a scale, it is a shame that the execution turned out to be boring. As opposed to his claim in one of the videos doing the rounds on social media, Brahmastra’s VFX is nowhere near that of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Shah Rukh Khan plays renowned scientist Mohan Bhargav who possesses Vanar Astra (monkey power) and is shown to be a part of the community that is charged with protecting the Brahmastra. In the razzmatazz and the dazzle, the frenetic music and the array of never-seen-before special effects, there is an acute lack of an arc, an angle, as if the makers did not consider the plot to be worthy enough of any time, money or attention. (Who are you and what is happening here?) asks Alia Bhatt's character Isha, more than once in Ayan Mukerji's mega-tent pole Brahmastra, part one of what is said to be the most expensive Bollywood trilogy till date with a production cost of Rs 410 crore.

The first instalment of the planned trilogy, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Amitabh Bachchan, has been in production for more than five years and is ...

His last outing Shamshera, which came after a four-hiatus following Sanju (2018), sank without a trace grossing about Rs 50 crore. Lead actor Ranbir Kapoor is also in need of a big hit. The film’s director Ayan Mukerji and actor Ranbir Kapoor are also producing it. The film is produced by Fox Star Studios, Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Prime Focus and Starlight Pictures. But content will decide the film’s run, experts agree. The film has sold 1,87,158 tickets in advance bookings for the opening day across the three theatre chains of PVR, Cinepolis, and Inox, according to trade portal Bollywood Hungama.

The relentless action that explodes on the screen accompanied by blinding fireworks and a high-decibel background score is a key part of the nearly.

Mouni Roy, playing the arch-villainess who is out to wrest the brahmastra and wreak havoc on mankind, carries the daunting weight of the role without wilting. With Ranbir Kapoor anchoring the action and the screenplay steering clear of the peddling of unbridled machismo, what we have is a male protagonist who willingly cedes ground to the woman in his life. In the same breath, he reveals that he plans to adopt the surname of his wife. He is aided by his beloved Isha (Alia Bhatt), a woman who isn’t given to playing second fiddle, and a homilies-spouting Guru (Amitabh Bachchan), who dwells in an ashram in the Himalayas where he grooms the next generation of defenders of the light. But once the exposition is out of the way, Brahmastra hurtles along towards the all-important climactic clash between Shiva and Junoon, who is guided by a shadowy evil being. That apart, the play on Shiva and Parvati – Isha is one of Durga’s names – is obvious, but one character rechristens the male protagonist ‘Dragon’, perhaps a nod to Norse and Viking mythology with an eye on universalizing a story rooted in Bharatvarsh. While the story of Brahmastra was never really meant to be simple, it’s the magic of VFX (all made in India), treatment of the astras, and grandeur of everything surrounding the characters that make it a visual spectacle and truly a cinematic experience to be enjoyed on the big screen. Brahmastra Part One: Shiva is a high-octane blend of generic Hollywood conventions and predictable Bollywood tics, of technical razzmatazz and emotional traction. In another scene early in the film, Shiva says to Isha that he has no surname because he does not know who his father is. Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor) is a DJ who falls for Isha (Alia Bhatt) at first sight and as their romance blossoms, his quest to find the reason behind his strange connection with fire becomes even stronger. But the duo has no time to pause and wonder what on earth is going on. Mukerji, who spent almost eight years to come out with the final film, clearly has gone overboard with certain aspects, but thankfully, it never reaches a point that it starts to bother and distract.

Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva Hindi (Theatres) Director: Ayan Mukerji Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy Rating: 2.5/5 'Brahmastra' ...

[Dailymotion ](https://www.dailymotion.com/DeccanHerald) [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/deccanherald/) [Twitter ](https://twitter.com/DeccanHerald) In films of this genre, the dialogues must match the stature of the superhero. The film draws references from Avengers, which revelled in the idea of a squad of superheroes fighting the baddies. But a bunch of evil forces, led by Junoon (Mouni Roy), are trying to get the Brahmastra active again.

Brahmastra, the first installment in the Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt starrer trilogy, has opened to tepid reviews from analysts and viewers. Weak reviews have.

However, it looks like the first round of disappointed viewers are spreading the bad word out. In Indian mythology, Brahmastra is known as a weapon of unstoppable destruction, which can only be stopped by its counterattack astra (weapon). This analysis was made before the weak reviews poured in. [said](https://twitter.com/_omkarb14/status/1568138364100165640')after watching the movie today. “We believe a positive word of mouth and audience acceptance can help the film breach the upper end,” said Karan Taurani of Elara Capital. “The lifetime box office (collection) for the film is estimated to be in a wide range of ₹130-200 crore, based on the strong advances,” says a media note by Elara Capital. Another viewer explained that beyond the visual effects, the movie was a hotch-potch of bad story-telling, and character development, among other issues. Ironically, the movie could end up being a victim of the weapon it is named after. Movie reviewer and analyst Taran Adarsh gave the Ranbir-Alia starrer a two-star rating, saying that the movie is a king-sized disappointment. If Brahmastra tanks, it could not only be one of the biggest Bollywood flops, but it could also derail the Hindi movie industry’s hopes of a revival at a time when several South Indian movies have broken records nationwide. - The movie with an ensemble cast has been in the making for years and its budget is said to be ₹410 crore.

Bollywood's biggest movie 'Brahmastra' finally released on September 9 and the early reviews of the magnum opus are out.

My review on [@Variety]: [https://t.co/VKVdO9UG4v] [#Brahmāstra]could’ve been a game changer, but, alas, it’s a missed opportunity… It all comes down to the main judge and jury when it comes to a film’s performance – that’s the audience. But thanks to Brahmastra’s massive advance bookings, it looks like Bollywood has got a breather amidst the dry spell. And now it has finally released and netizens have given their verdict. Touted to be one of the biggest films of the year, Brashmastra has been in the news now for longer than we can remember. Unless you were living in a cave, it was impossible to miss all the hoopla around Brahmastra.

It has a runtime of about 2 hours and 40 minutes in total and stars Amitabh Bachchan as Guru, the leader of the Brahmansh, Ranbir Kapoor as Shiva, Alia Bhatt as ...

They are said to be Shiva’s parents, where Amrita owns the power of (Jal) water Astra and Dev is able to own many Astras but the fire Astra is the one that dominates. However, all we know is that she is a member of Brahmansh and her Astra lies in a carved walking stick. His Astra is very powerful in front of the enemies and even has the power to heel itself instantly. Dimple Kapadia had a very brief role in the film and her power Astra is not even revealed. In the film, Nagarjuna doesn’t really add anything to the story but his character is someone important, as he holds one part of the broken Brahmastra, which Junoon is looking for. It is called the Nandiāstra, which contains the power and strength of a thousand bulls, within itself.

Movie: Brahmastra Rating: 2.5/5. Banner: Dharma Productions Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Mouni Roy, and others

Excessive dependency on visual effects and action made the director lose grip on the story he wanted to tell. There is also a character named Dev but this character’s story is withheld for the second part. But their love story in the film is poorly written and shabby. SRK’s Vanarastra sequence and Ranabir learning about various astras through a song are among the film’s best portions. This inconsistency in the narrative works against the film. Director Ayan successfully creates his universe for the story and dwells on it rightly. The cinematography, the VFX work, and the production design are top-class. He is terrific in the penultimate sequences. Nagarjuna and Amitabh Bachchan add value to the story. Alia Bhatt doesn’t have much to do in the film. The Telugu version is presented by India’s top director SS Rajamouli. But Shiva gets dreams and in his dreams, he sees persons that include a scientist (Shah Rukh Khan), an artist Anish (Nagarjuna), and a guru (Amitabh Bachchan).

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer records highest first day numbers on a non Holiday for a Bollywood film.

The payout, based on the first day, is certainly pleasing, and one can only hope that the film sustains in the long run, so that the dry spell of Bollywood ends. The advance bookings for day 2 are higher than day 1, which suggests that the film can collect higher on Saturday, than on its first day, if the walk-ins are just as the advances suggest. The reports of the film have been on the mixed side but the second day advances landing higher than first day, only suggests that there has been some sort of acceptance.

Based on the data coming from the three multiplex chains, the film's day 1 number is estimated to be around Rs.

'Mujhe iss astra ki shakti ka ehsaas hai Scientist sahab' – says Junoon, the antagonist of Brahmastra, played by the fierce Mouni Roy.

The usage of the word ‘membership’ to refer to the induction of Shiva into the secret society takes away from the seriousness of the scene. Blunders and misfit dialogues aside, the most painful part in Brahmastra was seeing Alia Bhatt, unarguably the best actress of our generation, reduced to a prop. One cannot help but wonder why Alia went for a role as inconsequential as that of Isha who serves little-to-no purpose in the grand scheme of things. It has cinematic brilliance and good visual effects but lacks soul and fails to make the audience feel for its characters. [Amitabh Bachchan](https://www.firstpost.com/tag/amitabh-bachchan)) who is the leader of Brahmansh, a secret society meant to guard Brahmastra. The usage of Love Storiya in Kesariya was only the tip of the iceberg. Ayan’s vision is truly brought to life on the celluloid but sadly, it is the script and the writing which is the hamartia of Brahmastra, the hero all of us hoped would revive Bollywood. As a fantasy film which borrows much of its themes and backstory from the ancient Indian mythology and the legends of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, one would expect the writers to stick to using Hindi words to address characters and symbols. [Brahmastra](https://www.firstpost.com/tag/brahmastra), played by the fierce [Mouni Roy](https://www.firstpost.com/tag/mouni-roy). When we see Shiva and Isha discuss the astras, they talk of ‘light’ many times. There is also a high-octane chase sequence featuring one of Junoon’s ‘killers’ which will keep you on the edge of your seat. They appear as sudden bursts of brilliance in between scenes which are monotonous and marred by poor writing.

After the advance booking opened for Brahmastra, tickets worth ₹11 crore were sold by Wednesday night. Good advance booking figures had given hope that the film may do wonders on day one of its release in five languages including Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu.

Brahmastra Day 1 box office collection: Director Ayan Mukherji's much-awaited sci-fi action film Brahmastra Part-1: Shiva, starring Alia Bhatt and Ranbir ...

After watching Shamshera, I wondered if Ranbir was ever a good actor. Brahmastra (2022) came with an answer, he wasn't.

And when it is represented, it is represented as the villagers who are gullible to be roped into violence as tools of violence. Brahmastra is an outcome of Brahminism that pretends to be the vibrant dharma of the subcontinent. The film harps about love through some of the worst dialogues ever written in the history of cinema and propagates an expired, toxic idea of love that has no meaning in the contemporary era, even and especially for the underprivileged but except for privileged ignorant Brahmins who happen to love their caste existence and call it religion. It is perhaps a coincidence that I had watched Pa Ranjith’s angry but passionate take on contemporary traditions of love in his film Natchathiram Nagargiradhu a night before watching Brahmastra, which is Dharma Studio’s take on love and its tenets. Because Shiva is an orphan who has seen a lot and yet, has rivers of positivity flowing inside of him, and he never misses the birthdays of orphan children at the orphanage from where he graduated. From the top of the hierarchy, the ugliness of the bottom is perceived to be a class phenomenon quite cunningly. In short, the upper castes convinced the world that they are in the majority, which explains their social visibility, whereas, in reality, they form less than 30% of the Indian population, and their visibility is not due to their overwhelming number but due to resource capture that they have consciously done using their social capital. At the same time, the marginalized caste groups were reduced to the status of supplicants who were to be given exceptions and concessions by this large majority of upper castes. He is one of the weapons from the Hindu myth, and the battle is between light and darkness. In his article Caste and Castelessness, Satish Deshpande argues how the three historically upper caste groups redefined themselves to belong to the general category, thereby muting their caste identity in the social order without giving away the practices of caste assertion. A not surprising but nevertheless enraging attribute of the film is the soft propagation of religious ignorance in the garb of faith. Not enough thought is given to the progression of events in the screenplay.

Written and directed by Ayan Mukerji (with dialogues by Hussain Dalal), "Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva" states that the country's foundation is based on the.

The heroes keep saying that they’ve got to stop the villains from reuniting the pieces of the “Brahmastra,” and the villains keep saying that they’ve got to reunite the pieces of the “Brahmastra” over and over and over again. And, for a second, it even seems like Mukerji is going to base Shiva’s battle for the “Brahmastra” around this empathetic scenario and against the backdrop of Mumbai. While I can give the supporting cast a pass, I have to say to the central cast members that they should reconsider their priorities. If you want more quality fantasy films from Indian cinema, though, then watch stuff like “Tumbbad” and “ Like where he names Shah Rukh Khan’s character Mohan Bhargav (as a reference to “Swades”) and then makes Junoon’s henchmen refer to him as “scientist,” as if to ensure that we know that he’s making a pop culture reference; or when he introduces Nagarjuna’s Aneesh Shetty as a restoration architect and then keeps calling him “artist”; or practically everything and anything that Junoon does or says. The work by the stunt team is commendable. In the present day, when a villainess called Junoon (Mouni Roy) starts to steal those pieces from its protectors, the power of “Agnyastra” awakens in a DJ called Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor). Hence, that gives rise to the counter-question: why should a “way of living” that’s inherently exclusionary in nature be glorified by making it a part of modern pop culture? When this power collided with Earth, it led to the birth of divine “Astras” (weapons) like the “Agnyastra” (fire weapon), “Jalastra” (water weapon), “Vayuastra” (wind weapon), and others that were animal-based. When they take a break from that, the protagonists explain what we’ve already seen on-screen in a premonition or something that’s so blatantly obvious (like what the powers are or how they work) that it doesn’t need further explanation. They pledged allegiance to it, calling their alliance the “Brahmansh,” and passed on their powers and the duty of protecting the pieces of the “Brahmastra” from one generation to another. For that, they were given a boon, i.e., a “Brahma-Shakti” (a power related to the Indian god, Brahma).
