Brahmastra Review: ‘Brahmastra: Part One Shiva’ is seen in a way, it is a good attempt to bring the young generation running away from the eternal cultures and traditions back towards their axis. Usually, when the process of touching the feet in films is gasped in sliding down from the knees, here the protagonist of the story touches the feet of his superiors at least twice by going up to the toes.
Fictional story based on the axis of Brahmastra In Hindu mythology, Brahmastra is the weapon that never fails after being fired. Here those who read Ramcharit Manas telling the great story of Treta Yuga will remember Doha ‘Brahma Astra Tehi Sandha Kapi Mana Kinh Vichar. Baru na brahm sir, ma’am ma’am mitai immense.’ Then it has also been used in the war of Mahabharata in Dwapar. This is a weapon that is perfect. It can be used repeatedly. And, whenever it is used it does not return empty. Some themselves bow down in front of it and get tied in the loop and some are removed from the target and the direction of Brahmastra is also changed. Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Brahmastra’ is a film. Its story runs in the present, past and future. The end of the story Ayan captures from the time immemorial and from the origin of the Brahmastra to the present, forming a secret community of its keepers, Where religion and science meet in the form of scientist Mohan. The Queen of Darkness learns some secrets from Mohan and in the midst of their quest emerges the love story of Shiva and Isha.
The story of love’s victory over supernatural powers Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have been one of the most talked-about lovers of Hindi cinema in recent times. The flame of love between the two that arose during the shooting of this film, its glimpse is found in this film. If you have seen Amitabh Bachchan-Rekha, Dharmendra-Hema Malini movies then you see a different noor on their faces in front of the camera. This is of intense love. This noor is also seen on the faces of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia in this film. And, it is also a coincidence that in the climax of the film, there is also an explanation of telling the power of love to be greater than any cosmic or supernatural power. ‘Brahmastra: Part to God’ is going to take this power of love forward. ‘Brahmastra: Part One Shiva’ is that opportunity of Hindi cinema, Which if it can be saved from boycotts and blasphemous cynics, then it can create an Astraverse in Hindi cinema like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is not completely true, but if we look at it from the entertainment point of view, it is not even fake like ‘Prithviraj’ or ‘Shamshera’.
The story slows down after the intermission Seeing Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt on screen for the first time while doing a film is going to be a delight to the real life lovers. The film also touches the heart of Shahrukh Khan’s fans. The entire sequence of the attack on the scientist Mohan’s house in search of the first part of Brahmastra, watching the stars with his telescope, keeps the audience hooked. The journey from Vanarastra to Nandiastra has both speed and adventure. The slowing down of ‘Brahmastra: Part One Shiva’ starts from where an ashram comes in the story, outside of which ‘Ashram’ is also written. Such mistakes are many in the film, in which an attempt is made to tell the audience some obvious things either by playing voice in the background or by showing something on the screen, which is not needed in the film. It is not good to tell too much in the cinema.
