Here : “BRAHMASTRA” Poster
Some movies take the hard road and try to change the rules; sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail. However, they undoubtedly pave the way for many others who are like them to arrive and only improve on what the forerunner did. Brahmastra, Ayan Mukerji's creation that he has been fostering for ten years, appears to be one. The movie, which has been in development while Indian cinema has produced thousands of films, is now finally available in theatres. It has exactly been 4 years since it was announced and 7 years since we first heard about it.
The cast, which also includes Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy, is now ready to provide you with their magnum opus after much speculation, rumour, confirmation, white noise, and demand. Today marks the release of the trailer on YouTube, and it is safe to say that it is a visual delight unlike any other.
Within the first 10 seconds of the trailer, magic is introduced, leaving you eager for more. With the trailer, Mukerji has won because his hero appears much later and allows his universe to take control first. The Astraverse is far larger than any individual character, so I hope the film acknowledges it right away. Ayan's universe is fascinating, and the audience needs to be aware of that, according to the concept and making BTS video that was given to us during a special screening.
The Brahmastra trailer deftly combines all the key selling points, including the huge star power, breathtaking VFX, amazing score by Pritam, and certain things that may come as the biggest surprises. It succeeds in getting your attention and keeping it. However, I must admit that Pritam might wind up providing one of his best ratings ever with this one.
Brahmastra is referred to by Amitabh Bachchan as "Modern Mythology," and it is amazing how Mukerji was able to include aspects of Indian mythology into his narrative while still maintaining the level of quality necessary to compete with other global productions. I won't ruin your pleasure by going into too much detail about the myth, but it is lovely.
All things considered, there has been a lot of unfavourable press for the movie. But the general public should be aware of this and give this crew a chance to produce one of the most ambitious movies. The idea is novel and pays homage to our origins.
