Brahmastra: The troublesome Hindi cinema, suffering one setback after another is finally discovered by the Sanjeevani. 2022 was one of the worst years in the Hindi movie industry. Aside from the success that was films like the Kashmir Files and Bhool Bhulaiya 2 the industry isn’t able to have much to boast about this year.
Additionally, the huge popularity of films from the Telugu, Tamil and Kannada film industries has only revealed the rift between both the Hindi movie industry as well as its viewers. Many Hindi films were completely rejected by cinemagoers. The ‘Boycott Bollywood’ movement saw more moviegoers than cinema patrons and a number of Hindi films took a massive defeat at the box office.
The list of massive films that failed to make it through the month only grew after month. Now, we are in September, and the past eight months in this sector of the Hindi movie industry were pretty boring. Actually, it’s been anything but a complete catastrophe. Can we however claim it is possible that it appears that the Hindi film industry has finally appeared in the process of finding the Sanjeevani to cure its illness through the film “Brahmastra”?
This is a question that we must all think about. The film is far from being “perfect” or even a good movie. However, what it was able to do was bring audiences to the theatre by providing a stunning portrayal of our traditions and the Sanskriti.
This success Brahmastra is an example of what movie-goers in Bharat desire and the way to success is through the acceptance and appreciation for our historical tradition and Sanskriti. Let’s take a look at the various aspects of the film, but before I critique the film, I want to be clear that this isn’t an attempt to discover every flaw, mistake and contradiction of the film to be able to critique it.
It’s a true opinion to help the filmmakers understand the great chance they missed, and how a fantastic production would have altered the course of Hindi cinema for the better!
Brahmstra Part One Shiva is a tale of a DJ who is named Shiva (played by Ranbir Kapoor) who is in secretly connected to Brahmansh who is which is led by Guruji (played by Amitabh Bachchan), a secret society that was created to safeguard the most powerful Astra called Brahmastra.
Shiva finds the love of a girl named Isha (played by Alia Bhatt) and begins to discover his strength. There are several villains in the film which is led by Mouni Roy, who is determined to take Brahmastra to her Guru, Dev. The film depicts a constant fight among the members of Brahmansh who have pledged to defend Brahmastra and the gang of evil led by Mouni Roy. There are numerous cameos in the film, including Shah Rukh Khan to Nagarjuna each of them demonstrating the art of an Astra in the film.
The role of Dimple Kapadia can’t even be thought of as a cameo. It’s unimportant in the absence of a place for her in the next part. The film is captivating in sections, as well as the sequences of action are captured beautifully. The viewers got an enjoyable experience with the incredible VFX. The film is shot in various locations and attempts to give a complete overview of Bharat as well as capture the bustle of Bharat’s city, the unique character of the slums, and the magnificent Varanasi along with the hill. The acting of the principal actors and the music is pretty decent. The movie provides the foundation for an upcoming sequel to the film that’s already in development.
The film, however, even though it’s great with all the lighting and sound however, it is not focus on the main elements of the screenplay, the story, and the vision of the director.
The issues that keep Brahmstra Part I Shiva on its path to becoming a good film is its dialogues and storytelling. The director seems confused as to the story he’s trying to tell to the viewers. The dialogues in the film are terrible. They do not let you feel connected with the character. They aren’t part of the cultural wonder that the director is trying to create with the help of ‘Astraverse’…
The integrity and honesty of the director are unquestioned However, his vision is to be confused in the sense that the plot is concerned. The most recent videos of his inspirations don’t fit with the narrative we experience in cinemas. There’s a clear misunderstanding between a romantic story of love and Astraverse. The songs, too, are romantic, but not one of them substantiates the concept of the film, which creates confusion.
No matter the roller coaster ride that Brahmstra Part 1 Shiva takes the audience on, with every high and low, there’s something to admire about the film and its film’s creators. The film is a reflection of the honesty of the director and the authenticity of his storytelling.
The purity of the mind must be present within the mind first before it enters the work you do, and that’s what we see when we watch the film. The creator is pure, and his effort is sincere however there’s much to be learned. Humans are prone to error however, to learn, advance, improve, and succeed is human. Perhaps the next phase of the film holds many things in store for us. Additionally, what must be admired is the bravery of the filmmaker to be prepared and able to imagine and present ‘Astraverse is a feat that requires determination, particularly considering the large budget that is involved.
This should be more appreciated since there was never an attempt within the Hindi film industry before. Furthermore, the film was released after clear warnings were made from various quarters regarding boycotting Bollywood films. The film’s makers were daring all the way through and presented the public with a different concept of “Astraverse”. So, we can conclude that the time that the film was first conceived as a novel effort and, even before the film came out at the time, it was a time when the Hindi movie industry was in one of the worst times.
Therefore, the filmmakers deserve all the praise. Additionally, according to several sources, the cost of making the film due to delays soared to 600 crores and the possibility of recovering the money was impossible, however, the box office earnings from the first instalment of Brahmastra are proving to be an indication of optimism for the future that Part 2 will be made and that it will certainly earn more to cover any losses. The sincerity of the directors is likely to be rewarded over time in the event that they can correct their mistakes made in the initial part.
Brahmastra can be described as an air of fresh air in those in the Hindi cinema industry. It’s unique in its idea and presents an authentic effort. The film strikes the right note with the public and honours our culture and also s Sanskriti The film is a mix of several scenes.
The film is visual, a stunning experience. The film is uplifting and offers optimism. It’s comforting to know that Hindu values are respected and our Sanskriti rituals, traditions and rituals are held with respect. Additionally, the film offers the appropriate masala for the audience for a typical Hindi film. The romance of Alia and Ranbir however, takes the story out of its lane but it does fill hearts with warmth.
The purity of the thoughts that the filmmaker has is evident in the purity of love stories that bind Alia as well as Ranbir. Brahmastramanaged in order to get all of the people to the cinemas. After a while we could see everyone in the family, from every generation, gathered at the cinema to watch the film. There was something to suit every age category. In addition, after a long period of time, it was an upbeat sensation on social media. surprisingly enough, the buzz was about the heart of any film, i.e. content that is a practical indication of the quality of Hindi cinema. Although many want to “Boycott Bollywood”, sooner or later, we must be aware that a boycott is slowly becoming a mentality as a disease that can be detrimental to the original purpose. It wasn’t meant to be a cause of destruction, it was intended to impart a message.
Banning everything that is available can lead nowhere. It is essential to enjoy the content that celebrates our heritage and our culture. A solitary boycott could come to tragic consequences. Films like Brahmastra must be marketed and acknowledged for the courage of the filmmakers as well as their honesty in their storytelling.
The film, regardless of Boycott calls, raked in more than 300 crores around the world and more than 200 crores within Bharat. The movie is a hit with the public and is an essential Sanjeevani to Hindi Cinema. This Sanjeevani, we hope, will heal some of those in the Hindi film industry from the mentality that is bent on slandering our religion, Sanskrit and traditions. We believe that through this Sanjeevani, we can see that the Hindi film business will grow and make the needed corrective course for future films as well as the types of stories they convey. Finding stories that honour our traditional Sanskrit and our knowledge, heritage and wisdom is the best way to go in the future. Brahmstra Part I Shiva illustrates how to do it.
