Visually Stunning, Is That Enough?

Despite the subject being rare, it ends up as a regular commercial potboiler with no substance. Anticipated to be the biggest comeback film for Bollywood, but it�s yet another disappointment. What�s scary is that it's a messy start to the trilogy.(more)

This superhero adventure plays with fire

The line between great and good lies in a believable, character-led story that emotionally engages you. The most imaginative worlds created by cinema�s geniuses eventually rely on the writing to keep everything else glued perfectly in their places. With all its pluses, nothing makes up for the emoti...(more)

Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt's Astraverse can take on the MCU

Brahmastra Part One: Shiva is a solid effort as the first chapter in this trilogy. Ayan ends the film on a cliffhanger with a tease of what�s to follow. At a time when Hollywood titles like Lord of the Rings and House of the Dragon are dominating the visual effects space, Brahmastra is a gentle rem...(more)

Despite its razzle-dazzle, Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt film fails to entertain

Films so stuffed with special effects need to maintain a balance between parts which are meant to blow us away with their wares, and the parts which allow it to slow down and breathe. The VFX is non-stop (at one point, a troll-like army appears, and disappears), the blaring music keeps wanting to bl...(more)

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt light the screen on fire, Part-2 can't come sooner

Watch Brahmastra because it's not every day that Bollywood churns out a film on this grand scale, with top-class VFX and creates a mystical universe that we only see in the West or closer home in the south film industry. And given that it's a planned trilogy, you'd be already left craving for a part...(more)

Ranbir Kapoor Anchors The Action In Ambitious And Entertaining Fantasy

Brahmastra Part One: Shiva is a spectacular production that benefits immensely from the VFX done by DNEG. The crucial action scenes, even as they strain credibility, throb with life and deliver their share of excitement. The story plays out in recognizable spaces - in an orphanage, an artist's at...(more)

Ayan Mukerji's story is promising. Ranbir Kapoor delivers a marvellous performance. Alia Bhatt looks stunning and gives a grade A performance.

BRAHMASTRA PART ONE: SHIVA starts on a fine note. The Mohan Bhargav scene, though doesn�t have good dialogues, is still watchable due to Shah Rukh Khan�s presence and also for its grandeur. Shiva�s entry is fine and the way he takes Isha to his house and the birthday party sequence are too good. The...(more)
