However, it looks like the first round of disappointed viewers are spreading the bad word out.

This analysis was made before the weak reviews poured in.

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.

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.

[Brahmastra](https://www.pinkvilla.com/topic/brahmastra), starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Mouni Roy, along with a cameo appearance of Shah Rukh Khan shattered records on its opening day as it became the highest non holiday day 1 grosser for a bollywood film in nett terms. Based on the data coming from the three multiplex chains, the film's day 1 number is estimated to be around Rs.

This Hindi-language would-be blockbuster plays out as exceedingly familiar, and even the musical numbers are average at best.

Big B has been passing the proverbial baton to the next generation of Bollywood stars for a few years now, but very few of his successors have successfully broken out of their cookie-cutter star roles. Shiva’s also plagued by “Lord of the Rings”–style visions of Dev, a fiery stone deity who psychically empowers the evil Junoon (TV star Mouni Roy), the latter of whom murders Khan’s character and steals his portion of the Brahmāstra. Still, for such an expensive and well-hyped production, “Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva” will probably disappoint fans of recent maximalist Indian blockbusters, particularly South Indian hitmaker S.S. (Diwali is “a festival of light,” as a newspaper headline boldly declares within the movie) The main selling points of “Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva,” which follows a formulaic plot to thwart an evil demigod, are its lavish special effects and MCU-style branding. A handsomely animated opening scene establishes the movie’s mytho-fantasy backstory: for centuries, the Brahmānsh, a clandestine group of Himalayan cultists, have protected the world using their super-powered Astra weapons, like the Brahmāstra, the Astra whatsit to rule them all.

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. This seems to beat the opening day figures of Ranbir's highest opening so far, Sanju, which collected ₹34.75 crore on day one in 2018. The Ayan Mukerji film recorded a thunderous opening with collections coming in the range of around ₹35-36 crore despite releasing on a non-holiday.

Kangana Ranaut has slammed producer Karan Johar and director Ayan Mukerji, calling their film Brahmastra a 'disaster'.

'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.

The two-day national total stands will stand in the vicinity of Rs 77 crore and Brahmastra is now headed to record an opening weekend to the north of Rs 122 crore. With this, the second day all India total of Brahmastra will stand in the vicinity of Rs 40.50 crore, with an outside chance of hitting the Rs 42 crore mark depending on how well a hold the mass belts show. The Hindi version of Brahmastra too will hit the century over the weekend. The on-ground talk seems to be decent to good and it’s the hold in collections on Monday that will determine the journey of Brahmastra ahead. There is a jump of around 17 to 20 percent in the three national chains – PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis – whereas the single screens too are rock-steady with occupancy similar to the opening day. According to early trends, Brahmastra (Hindi) is looking at a Saturday collection in the range of Rs 36.75 to 37.75 crore, taking the two-day Hindi total to Rs 68.50 crore.

In addition, there is a total disregard for Sanatan Itihasa and they try to sell Rumi-ism in the name of Sanatan culture and the all-pervading language of love. I wanted to know their genies, their functionalities, how they could be earned, and how the people in possession of them actually earned them. Instead, the film is hellbent on proving how love is the most powerful weapon of all and perpetually ends up making a mockery of the most powerful weapon in the world. The cinematography and background score of the film are two of its greatest strength. The perfect example of this is seen in a scene where Shiva and Isha learn that an important character is in mortal danger and that they need to go to Varanasi to inform him of this danger. The love story drags in the second half and by the end of the film, it starts getting on your nerves. I thoroughly enjoyed Ranbir and Alia’s spirited performance and evident chemistry even though their characters and the development of their romance in the film are terribly written. The fact that his character sacrifices his all to thwart the evil, adds a lot of heroism to his essay and elevates the character two folds in its final moments. The story and the screenplay were lackluster and there was no depth in any of the characters. There are many sequences in the film that could have worked but are single-handedly brought down by the poor dialogues that not only drain the seriousness or romance out of these sequences but also make you laugh for all the wrong reasons. He is also destined to aid the safeguard of a weapon that has been protected by a clandestine society for thousands of years. Then I thought, it would be best to just jot down all that was good and bad in the film and let my readers decide whether the pros outweigh the cons for them or not.

Put simply, the movie’s micro elements (which make up much of the first half) almost undo the achievements of the macro (much of the second half). His entire role here (particularly in the second half) seems to be to spew exposition with some bafflingly bad lines. Ironically, Ayan keeping her in most of the film to convince us (and himself) that she’s actually consequential to the plot, makes it even worse somehow. Brahmastra’s writing, and in particular its dialogue, is “accessible” and watered down to the point of talking down to us.

Where Brahmastra triumphs is its grand good vs evil story, visual magic (the VFX was flawless), and lavish world-building.
