'Gangubai Kathiawadi' to 'An Action Hero': The best Hindi films of 2022

<p>This year we had some amazing shows and some of them told stories of people who have been lost in time.&nbsp;Portraying real-life characters on screen comes with a set of challenges as comparisons are inevitable and one has to get the mannerism and the essence of the characters well so as it appears too melodramatic on screen.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here are some of the actors who have portrayed real-life characters flawlessly on screen in 2022.</p>

<p><strong>Vikram Sarabhai - Ishwak Singh (Rocket Boys)</strong></p>

<p>Considered the father of the Indian Space Program, Vikram Sarabhai’s journey was hardly shown on the screen until and unless Ishwak Singh was picked up in the 'Rocket Boys' series. He portrayed the character so well that now we can’t imagine anyone else in that role.</p>

Yearender 2022: 6 actors whose portrayal of real-life characters stood out this year

<p>2022 has been a tough year for Bollywood overall. In a year when most Hindi films were rejected by moviegoers and the #boycott trended more than the film titles&nbsp;on social media, there was very little to celebrate in Bollywood. But if there was a glimmer of sunshine amid so much hate it was to witness the rise of actress Alia Bhatt who cemented her position at the top this year with three hits, delivering stellar performances in three distinct films.</p>

<p>For Alia, the year began with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi. Based on the real-life character of the same known who was known to run a small nexus in Kamathipura the red light district of Mumbai in the 1970s- 80s, there was a certain amount of literature available on Gangu. And so when Bhansali had initially announced the film with Bhatt in the lead, most were skeptical as they felt the actress was too young to play such a role. But Bhatt manages to shut the harshest of her critics as she brought a certain gravitas to her character. The range that the character goes through through the course of the film - from a gullible, innocent girl who is forced into prostitution to becoming the leader of the pack and subsequently a political leader who becomes messiah for many in her area, Bhatt showcased myriad emotions effectively delivering a haunting, impactful performance.</p>

<p>Next up was SS Rajamouli's global blockbuster RRR which had Bhatt in an extended cameo. The film marked her debut in Telugu cinema and even though her screen time as Sita was limited, she managed to create an impression among the audience. Rajamouli's 'RRR' continues to garner praise across the world eight months after its release and is now being touted as an Oscar favourite in a few categories. Its popularity worldwide has not just helped Rajamouli clinch a deal with top talent management agency CAA but also helped its actors gain prominence outside of India- including Alia Bhatt.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actress also turned producer this year and collaborated with Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies to produce a dark comedy called 'Darlings' which was released on Netflix. The film had Alia Bhatt playing Badru, a victim of domestic violence at home. How she and her mother Shamshu (Shefali Shah) take revenge on her husband Hamza forms the rest of the story. Directed by debutant Jasmeet Reen, the film boasted of terrific performances from its entire cast including Bhatt, Shah and Vijay Verma who played the lead. Debunking a few societal myths around marriage and love, the film was a stunning cinematic experience. Engaging, quirky, and a story that made you rethink the notion of redemption. &nbsp;Bhatt shined, as the vulnerable Badru who has to come to terms with her abusive husband and take charge of things.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Alia closed the year with Ayan Mukerji's dream project, 'Brahamastra Part 1:Shiva' - a film that the actress on several past occasions, has termed as special. It is on the sets of this film that she fell in love and started dating actor Ranbir Kapoor. &nbsp;The pair tied the knot in April this year and they welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in November. Kapoor and Bhatt also shared a crackling chemistry in 'Brahmastra Part 1 : Shiva' a film that merged mythology with modern-day technology to create India's very own superhero franchise. Several critics felt Bhatt was wasted in the film which mostly focussed on Shiva's character but the film's box office success ensured Bhatt's position as the number one star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amid four releases, film promotions, marriage and pregnancy- she also went to the US to film her first Hollywood film - an action thriller called 'Heart Of Stone' co-starring Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan'. The film is set to release in 2023 exclusively on Netflix.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For most in Bollywood, marriage and a baby leads to a career break if not a complete exit from films. But Bhatt is raring to go, she married at the peak of her career and there's so much still of her to be discovered by the audience. Bhatt also has Karan Johar's 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' opposite Ranveer Singh, releasing in early 2023, and needless to say, the film is going to be a quintessential Bollywood romance that Johar is known for. And Bhatt beautifully balances it all. From playing the quintessential Bollywood heroine to backing and starring in a film on domestic violence- Alia Bhatt manages to shine in every role.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One picture is from Alia's wedding, and the other is from her Mehendi ceremony. In the picture, both sisters are cutely posing together.</p>

<p>Soon after the post was shared, Alia`s mother-in-law, Neetu Kapoor, wished Shaheen, "Happy birthday, shahji."</p>

<p>Director Zoya Akhtar also commented, "Happy B. Shaheen."</p>

<p>Alia recently welcomed her first child, a baby girl, with husband and actor Ranbir Kapoor. Recently, the couple also revealed the name of their little girl, i.e., Raha.</p>

<p>Wondering how you can recreate her look in under $2500? Well, here're some tips!</p>

<p>The Gauri &amp; Nainika outfit donned by Alia is available for purchase online for less than $2350. If you want to go for the exact same look, buy the same gown or look for a dupe if you wish to save money.</p>

<p>Once you have decided on the outfit, it's time for styling. Look for bracelets and rings that best complement your outfit. Ditch the necklace for this look to keep all the attention on its plunging neckline.</p>

<p>For makeup, just like Alia, opt for neutral tones and keep it minimal. Don't go for bright reds, pinks and maroons.&nbsp;</p>

For accessories, she opted for diamond-studded bracelets, rings and dot earrings. Leaving her tresses open, she flaunted her beach waves at the award ceremony. Coming to her makeup, she opted for nude tones with brown smokey eyes and soft contour to keep all the attention to her outfit.

Recreate Alia Bhatt's TIME 100 Impact 2022 award look in under $2500

<p>Indian actor Alia Bhatt has expressed her happiness at her portrayal of the title character in 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' being included in a list of the best film performances of all time. The Guardian's 'the best (and worst) big-screen performances of all time' had an entry of Bhatt's performance in the 'best' section. The entry called it one of 2022's greatest performances. "Bhatt makes complete emotional sense of a rollercoaster character arc. Her extraordinarily expressive dancing in drum number Dholida tells its own story: veering from communal celebration to personal desolation, it’s a walloping three-minute tabulation of everything this woman has gained and lost," it said.</p>

<p>It has been quite a turnaround for Alia, who early on in her career was deemed an average actress at best in movies like her debut, Karan Johar's 'Student of the Year'. Taking all the criticism in its stride, she worked on her craft and has emerged as one of the best actors among Bollywood's stars, giving superb performances in films like 'Highway', 'Dear Zindagi', and 'Udta Punjab'.</p>

Alia Bhatt reacts

<p>Two years after she launched a conscious clothing apparel brand for children, Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt is launching her own line of maternity wear for moms-to-be to have a "bump-friendly" wardrobe. The diva took to social media on Friday to make the announcement. Sharing a long note, she shared how her own sense of style changed after she got pregnant and what style challenges she faced as her body changed with each trimester.</p>

<p>Alia started her note with a witty remark. She wrote, "Two years ago, I started a children's clothing brand. Everyone asked why I'm doing a kids brand when I don't have kids. Now, I'm launching my own line of maternity-wear. I don't think anyone will ask why. But let me tell you anyway."</p>

<p>The actress continued, "It's not like I've bought maternity clothes before. But when I got down to it, I was overwhelmed. You don't know how you're going to look or feel over the next few months and let's be honest, not being able to find the right thing to wear can be stressful. Do I buy brands I already wear but in a bigger size? Should I raid Ranbir's wardrobe? And just because my body is changing doesn't mean my sense of style has to, right?"</p>

<p>Sharing how she made her own&nbsp;personal style more bump-friendly, she said, "I added elastic to my favourite jeans, designed shirts that I didn't have to share with my husband, and wore flowy dresses so as to not invite any unwanted belly-touching. Comfort took priority over any 'airport looks.' What started off as me trying to fill a gap in my existing wardrobe, led to an entire maternity collection. And I can't wait to give you a sneak-peek tomorrow!" Check out the post below!</p>

Two years after she launched a conscious clothing apparel brand for children, Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt is launching her own line of maternity wear for moms-to-be to have a "bump-friendly" wardrobe.

Two years after she launched a conscious clothing apparel brand for children, Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt is launching her own line of maternity wear for moms-to-be to have a "bump-friendly" wardrobe. The diva took to social media on Friday to make the announcement. Sharing a long note, she shared how her own sense of style changed after she got pregnant and what style challenges she faced as her body changed with each trimester. Alia started her note with a witty remark. She wrote, "Two years ago, I started a children's clothing brand. Everyone asked why I'm doing a kids brand when I don't have kids. Now, I'm launching my own line of maternity-wear. I don't think anyone will ask why. But let me tell you anyway." The actress continued, "It's not like I've bought maternity clothes before. But when I got down to it, I was overwhelmed. You don't know how you're going to look or feel over the next few months and let's be honest, not being able to find the right thing to wear can be stressful. Do I buy brands I already wear but in a bigger size? Should I raid Ranbir's wardrobe? And just because my body is changing doesn't mean my sense of style has to, right?" Sharing how she made her own personal style more bump-friendly, she said, "I added elastic to my favourite jeans, designed shirts that I didn't have to share with my husband, and wore flowy dresses so as to not invite any unwanted belly-touching. Comfort took priority over any 'airport looks.' What started off as me trying to fill a gap in my existing wardrobe, led to an entire maternity collection. And I can't wait to give you a sneak-peek tomorrow!" Check out the post below!

Heart of Stone: Alia Bhatt and Gal Gadot perform high-octane stunts in the first teaser - watch

<p>Actress Alia Bhatt has been serving gorgeous maternity looks ever since she announced her pregnancy and embarked on a journey to promote her film 'Brahmastra'. Recently, she was spotted wearing a beautiful printed kurta set from Sonam Luthria that instantly caught everyone's attention.&nbsp;Radiating elegance as always, the diva posed for the lens next to her husband Ranbir Kapoor and director Ayan Mukerji. Looking every bit gorgeous, she smiled from ear to ear and greeted the paps.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Coming to her sartorial pick for the day, the diva&nbsp;paired her outfit with gold hoop earrings. For her footwear, she opted for comfy sandals. For her makeup, she chose a soft glam look. Leaving her tresses open, she flaunted her wavy hair.&nbsp;</p>

Actress Alia Bhatt has been serving gorgeous maternity looks ever since she announced her pregnancy and embarked on a journey to promote her film 'Brahmastra'. Recently, she was spotted wearing a beautiful printed kurta set from Sonam Luthria that instantly caught everyone's attention. Radiating elegance as always, the diva posed for the lens next to her husband Ranbir Kapoor and director Ayan Mukerji. Looking every bit gorgeous, she smiled from ear to ear and greeted the paps. Coming to her sartorial pick for the day, the diva paired her outfit with gold hoop earrings. For her footwear, she opted for comfy sandals. For her makeup, she chose a soft glam look. Leaving her tresses open, she flaunted her wavy hair. The ensemble worn by Alia might look super expensive and bougie but it is actually quite affordable. After a little research, we found that the kurta set can be yours for just $206, which is approximately Rs 16,500. The ensemble is available for purchase on the official website of the fashion designer and is available in six different sizes. According to the website, the kurta "features an embellished neckline paired with straight pants for festive occasions like mehendi parties, poojas". Take a look!

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are living the best phase of their lives as they are all set to become parents soon. Currently, the two are leaving no chance to flaunt their love in public. Be it at a promotional event or on social media, the two have been shelling out couple goals ever since they tied the knot on April 14 earlier this year. And just a while ago, Alia once again left everyone in awe of the couple's chemistry with her Instagram post. Taking to the social networking site, Alia, who is basking in the success of 'Brahmastra', posted a picture with Ranbir. In the monochromatic image, Alia and Ranbir are seen embracing each other with their eyes closed. Ranbir's lips are placed on Alia's nose as he adorably gives her a peck. "Home," Alia captioned the post alongside an infinity sign and heart emoji.

Parents-to-be Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt go all mushy in new picture

<p>Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra' was marketed as the next big thing in Hindi cinema. Borrowing from everything from Hindu mythology to American movie franchises like Marvel Cinematic Universe and 'The Lord of the Rings', the film through trailers and promos, promised state-of-the-art visual effects and a cinematic universe called Astraverse to rival MCU. Starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles, the film finally saw the light of day last week. The movie also had Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, and Nagarjuna Akkineni, in the cast. While it received indifferent reviews from critics, reception among moviegoers was more sanguine. Until now, the film's Hindi version has grossed an impressive Rs 143 crore ($18 million approx).&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is doubly impressive since the movie was quite long by today's standard at around 167 minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is 'Brahmastra' all about?</strong></h2>

<p>The movie tells the story of divine, powerful weapons given to sages and warriors of India eons ago. The weapons represented either an element -- like fire, wind, light, and water -- or a diety like the Nandi Astra that harnesses the powers of Nandi.</p>

<p>The main plot begins with the introduction of Ranbir Kapoor's Shiva, who is a man with a mysterious connection to fire. A DJ by profession, he spots Alia Bhatt's Isha among the audience and falls in love with her. Shiva gets strange visions and this journey takes him and Isha to Varanasai and then in Himalayan foothills to discover a threat endangering all existence.</p>

<p>Apparently, there was a weapon more powerful than any other -- the 'Brahmastra' -- with the power to obliterate all life in the universe. One person wanted it all to himself but was stopped by another. In the process, the weapon was broken into three pieces, each of which was entrusted to members of a secret society called Brahmansh. The weapon will stay dormant until the pieces are joined. And the destruction of the cosmos will follow.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The audience clearly forgave the film's muddled plot, atrocious dialogue, and decent but derivative world-building in favour of truly impressive visual effects from DNEG.</p>

<h2><strong>How does 'Brahmastra' budget compare to others?</strong></h2>

<p>The movie was reportedly made on a budget of Rs 410 crore or $51.7 million. This makes it one of the most expensive Indian films ever. Only&nbsp;'RRR' and '2.0' are above it with production costs of Rs 550 crore ($69 million) and Rs 500 crore ($63 million) – Rs570 crore ($71 million), respectively. As should be clear, 'Brahmastra' is the most expensive Hindi film to date. At the second position is Aamir Khan's 'Thugs of Hindostan' (and we know how that ended) with a budget of Rs 310 crore ($39 million).&nbsp;</p>

<p>(Some of these budgets look so inflated that it appears they are money-laundering schemes disguised as movies).</p>

<h2><strong>Is 'Brahmastra' a success?</strong></h2>

<p>The marketing and PR team of 'Brahmastra' has likely led you to believe that the movie is an out-and-out success. But film economics and the truth are more complicated than that. As mentioned above, the film's reported budget is Rs 410 crore or $51.7 million. This is just the production budget. Studios spend a lot of money on marketing and promoting the movie with trailers, advertisement campaigns, and so on. And behind 'Brahmastra' was Walt Disney Studios through its Indian subsidiary Star Studios. We do not know how much money was spent to make sure more and more people booked the tickets to the movie, but it was likely not inconsiderable.</p>

<p>As mentioned above, the film's Hindi iteration has grossed Rs 143 crore or $18 million until now as per reports. This figure does not count all the other language versions, only Hindi. Taking a cue from the big Telugu and Kannada releases, 'Brahmastra' was also targetted at moviegoers down south with dubbed release in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.</p>

<p>As per Dharma, the film opened with Rs 75 crore worldwide or $9.4 million on the very first day. Many suggested the figure was suspiciously 'proper' to be true. And indeed, studios and distributors have a history of sharing inflated figures to send a subliminal 'everyone else has seen the movie, and you're missing out!' message to potential viewers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But whatever the true figures, the film will almost certainly not break even with its budget (inflated budgets are another trick to lure in moviegoers). However, box office returns are not the end of the road for movies' earnings. Once the film is out of theatres, it gets an OTT release on services like Netflix, Prime Video, or ZEE5. In addition to that, there are satellite rights and music rights through which producers can recover their money. Or the star of the film may let go of their fees to recoup the losses. Recently, it was reported that Aamir Khan let go of his fees of Rs 100 crore or $12.63 million to compensate for the flop that was 'Laal Singh Chaddha'.<br />

'Brahmastra' spinoff movie to revolve around Shah Rukh Khan's Scientist? Here's what Ayan Mukerji has to say

<p>When I first saw the trailer for Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva', I remember wondering why it chose to focus on visuals of characters hurling magical light at each other and there was hardly any information about the plot and dialogue. Now I know the answer. ''Brahmastra' has a few halfway-decent ideas, good world-building, and eye-poppingly good visuals. But it is not the saviour the Hindi film industry needed. Clocking at around 167 minutes -- while somehow feeling even longer -- Brahmastra' is a slog throughout. Borrowing from Hindu myths was an interesting decision in my view, if a little hazardous in a country where many seem to be yearning to take offence from something and boycotting every movie with a big star. But 'Brahmastra' squanders the potential.</p>

<p><strong>The world-building in 'Brahmāstra' is derivative&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BUjXzrgntcY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Hinduism has had a long history and there are thousands of tales and legends about gods, demons, supernatural creatures, and so on -- pretty much everything needed to build a cinematic universe that Mukerji intended. And indeed, the world-building in 'Brahmāstra' is not exactly bad, but it does not feel fresh. It has borrowed from several movie franchises from the west like 'Harry Potter', 'The Lord of the Rings' and, of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe'. The film has lifted the Chosen One trope from western pop culture as well. Sometimes, the 'inspiration' goes too far. For instance, the powers of Mouni Roy's villainous Junoon, the Queen of Darkness, carry a strong resemblance with Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch in MCU to a suspicious degree. When is a piece of creativity a homage and when does it become derivative? 'Brahmāstra' does tend to blur the lines.</p>

<p><strong>Despite being too "inspired", the mythology built in 'Brahmastra' has potential</strong></p>

<p>However, I did not mind the derivative part much and had actually expected that. The mythology of the intended AstraVerse, as the cinematic universe is named, does throw up a few fascinating ideas. It revolves around a bunch of MacGuffins. In this world, the LotR-style prologue tells us, sages and warriors called forth the powers of heavens eons ago and were gifted with weapons of untold power, each representing an element -- like fire, wind, light, and water -- or some diety like the Nandi Astra that harnesses the powers of Nandi.</p>

<p>There was a weapon more powerful than any other: the 'Brahmastra' (One Ring to rule them all, haha), with the power to obliterate all life in the universe. One person wanted it all to himself but was stopped by another. In the process, Brahmāstra was broken into three pieces, each of which was entrusted to members of a secret society called Brahmansh. The weapon will stay dormant until the pieces are joined. And the destruction of the cosmos will follow. Which is not what the protagonists want.</p>

<p>Cut to the present. Ranbir Kapoor's Shiva is a man with a mysterious connection to fire. A DJ by profession, he spots Alia Bhatt's Isha among the audience and falls in love with her. Shiva is accustomed to strange visions and one evening sees a scientist being ambushed by two assassins clad like ninjas and none other than Roy's Junoon -- as it is happening. The scientist, we are told, was one of the Brahmansha and had a piece of the Brahmastra. Shiva and Isha then go on a journey to save Nagarjuna's Anish Shetty, who is awaiting a similar fate in Varanasi. Later, they find Amitabh heading what remains of the Brahmansha in the high Himalayas, with Big B's character serving as Gandalf to Ranbir's Frodo (the parallels are eerie, I tell you).</p>

<p><strong>Visuals are the highlight</strong></p>

<p>'Brahmastra' knows what kind of movie this is and where most of the money, I presume, has been spent. The visual effects are truly awe-inspiring at times. And it is not just the magical beams and fireballs and everything else computer generated. It is also the more quotidian stuff. For instance, a scene in which hundreds of devotees dance during Durga Pooja to the tunes of Shiva looks absolutely spectacular with a camera. The cinematography, by multiple people according to Wikipedia, provides gorgeous imagery.

<p><strong>'Brahmastra' is sometimes excessive -- throwing everything at the audience that it deems would be enjoyed</strong></p>

<p>Despite the consistently splendid imagery, 'Brahmastra' can be excessive. Mukerji, who earlier directed Ranbir in 'Wake Up Sid' and 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', is not a fan of subtlety, I gather.

<p><strong>The dialogues are atrocious</strong></p>

<p>As I said above, the writing is fine as far as the world-building goes, but it's the dialogues that truly sink the movie.

'Pyar ki aag' is a phrase I thought I would never hear outside of 90s' Hindi cinema. It felt to me at times that Ranbir and other actors are doing a bit -- &nbsp;they must be -- or the movie is simply an overlong SNL sketch. Or perhaps the words coming out of their mouths are meant to be ironic or campy? No, none of that. Everything is uttered with a straight face. Whatever the jokes the movies have don't land.

<p>Oh, and everything has to be spelled out. Every. Single. Thing. Repeatedly, just in case the audience did not get what the titular weapon does in the last dozen times. The script is chock-full of exposition and did not have the decency to make the conversation remotely interesting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I don't ask this question lightly: did they hire a turnip to write the dialogues?&nbsp;</p>


When I first saw the trailer for Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva', I remember wondering why it chose to focus on visuals of characters hurling magical light at each other and there was hardly any information about the plot and dialogue.

When I first saw the trailer for Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva', I remember wondering why it chose to focus on visuals of characters hurling magical light at each other and there was hardly any information about the plot and dialogue. Now I know the answer. ''Brahmastra' has a few halfway-decent ideas, good world-building, and eye-poppingly good visuals. But it is not the saviour the Hindi film industry needed. Clocking at around 167 minutes -- while somehow feeling even longer -- Brahmastra' is a slog throughout. Borrowing from Hindu myths was an interesting decision in my view, if a little hazardous in a country where many seem to be yearning to take offence from something and boycotting every movie with a big star. But 'Brahmastra' squanders the potential. The world-building in 'Brahmāstra' is derivative Hinduism has had a long history and there are thousands of tales and legends about gods, demons, supernatural creatures, and so on -- pretty much everything needed to build a cinematic universe that Mukerji intended. And indeed, the world-building in 'Brahmāstra' is not exactly bad, but it does not feel fresh. It has borrowed from several movie franchises from the west like 'Harry Potter', 'The Lord of the Rings' and, of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe'. The film has lifted the Chosen One trope from western pop culture as well. Sometimes, the 'inspiration' goes too far. For instance, the powers of Mouni Roy's villainous Junoon, the Queen of Darkness, carry a strong resemblance with Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch in MCU to a suspicious degree. When is a piece of creativity a homage and when does it become derivative? 'Brahmāstra' does tend to blur the lines. Despite being too "inspired", the mythology built in 'Brahmastra' has potential However, I did not mind the derivative part much and had actually expected that. The mythology of the intended AstraVerse, as the cinematic universe is named, does throw up a few fascinating ideas. It revolves around a bunch of MacGuffins. In this world, the LotR-style prologue tells us, sages and warriors called forth the powers of heavens eons ago and were gifted with weapons of untold power, each representing an element -- like fire, wind, light, and water -- or some diety like the Nandi Astra that harnesses the powers of Nandi. There was a weapon more powerful than any other: the 'Brahmastra' (One Ring to rule them all, haha), with the power to obliterate all life in the universe. One person wanted it all to himself but was stopped by another. In the process, Brahmāstra was broken into three pieces, each of which was entrusted to members of a secret society called Brahmansh. The weapon will stay dormant until the pieces are joined. And the destruction of the cosmos will follow. Which is not what the protagonists want. Also Read: 'Brahmastra' movie review: Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt's film works for its special effects, not for its story Cut to the present. Ranbir Kapoor's Shiva is a man with a mysterious connection to fire. A DJ by profession, he spots Alia Bhatt's Isha among the audience and falls in love with her. Shiva is accustomed to strange visions and one evening sees a scientist being ambushed by two assassins clad like ninjas and none other than Roy's Junoon -- as it is happening. The scientist, we are told, was one of the Brahmansha and had a piece of the Brahmastra. Shiva and Isha then go on a journey to save Nagarjuna's Anish Shetty, who is awaiting a similar fate in Varanasi. Later, they find Amitabh heading what remains of the Brahmansha in the high Himalayas, with Big B's character serving as Gandalf to Ranbir's Frodo (the parallels are eerie, I tell you). Visuals are the highlight 'Brahmastra' knows what kind of movie this is and where most of the money, I presume, has been spent. The visual effects are truly awe-inspiring at times. And it is not just the magical beams and fireballs and everything else computer generated. It is also the more quotidian stuff. For instance, a scene in which hundreds of devotees dance during Durga Pooja to the tunes of Shiva looks absolutely spectacular with a camera. The cinematography, by multiple people according to Wikipedia, provides gorgeous imagery. It is so good that even the high-quality CGI-driven visuals look gaudy and distracting after a while. 'Brahmastra' is sometimes excessive -- throwing everything at the audience that it deems would be enjoyed Despite the consistently splendid imagery, 'Brahmastra' can be excessive. Mukerji, who earlier directed Ranbir in 'Wake Up Sid' and 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', is not a fan of subtlety, I gather. Every single scene has to be overwrought and filled with import.

'Brahmastra' offers some awe-inspiring CGI action but is butchered by a dreadful script

<p>Looks like Bollywood's lean phase is finally coming to an end. The Hindi film industry's big release last Friday, Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra' received a good response at the theatres and has had a 'fabulous' opening weekend.&nbsp;<br />

The film has reportedly,&nbsp;earned over Rs 120 crore (USD 15 million approx) at the Indian box office. Not just that, the film grossed the most numbers worldwide and ran to packed theatres overseas.&nbsp;<br />

Considering there was no major Hollywood release on September 9, 'Brahmastra' particularly did well in several cities of Australia, New Zeland and the US.&nbsp;</p>

'Brahmastra' box office collection: Ranbir-Alia's film has a 'fabulous weekend', earns $27 million worldwide

Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji's film 'Brahmastra' finally releases in theatres. The film has created a lot of buzz in the past few weeks, courted controversy and has been touted as the most expensive film ever made in Bollywood. The film has Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt pairing up onscreen for the first time. It also has some very prominent faces making cameo appearances. Is 'Brahamastra' worth your time? Does it live up to the hype? Watch Critically Speaking to find out.

Critically Speaking: Is 'Brahmastra' worth the hype?

<p>5 years in making, a pandemic thrown in the middle, a romance on sets and eventually a wedding later, filmmaker Ayan Mukerji's labour&nbsp;of love 'Brahmastra- Part One: Shiva' releases today in theatres worldwide. A film that has been touted as the most expensive movie made in Bollywood ever- thanks to its extravagant VFX- is also one of the most talked about films of the season. It is also a crucial film for Bollywood at a time when the Hindi film industry is struggling to create an impact at the box office. Delays and controversies notwithstanding, Ranbir Kapoor- Alia Bhatt's 'Brahmastra' manages to infuse a very Indian concept with western sensibilities of filmmaking. The result is a convoluted plot with stunning modern technology to back it up.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>What is the story of&nbsp;'Brahmastra'?</strong><br />
<br />
Considering it is the first part of a trilogy, the film begins by establishing the premise well. It takes the viewers back in time and establishes how in ancient times, sages meditated at the Himalayas to attain superpowers based on four elements - fire, wind, water, and earth as well as elements from plants and animals to create unique weapons or <em>astras</em>. These sages form the '<em>Brahmansh' </em>- a sort of universe where they use these newly acquired weapons to protect the world. One of the strongest of the <em>astra</em> that is created originates from light, which has so much power in it that it can destroy the universe. What now exists of Brahmastra are in three parts- each being protected by a key leader of '<em>Brahmansh'</em> - a secret group of people who wield superpowers when needed to fight evil.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
Shiva, a DJ in Mumbai, has lived a good life mostly despite the odds against him. An orphan who has lived a life on his own terms, he meets Isha(Alia Bhatt) during a Dushera Carnival and instantly falls in love. But his love life is hindered by flashes/nightmares he gets which make him revisit a horrific past involving his mother's death, of important people getting hunted by one Junoon (Mouni Roy) and her men in search of a broken piece of rock- part of the Brahmastra. The ones who are being hunted- are important people of the society- one is a scientist- who gets killed in order to protect his important artifact/stone. Shiva foresees the same fate for a Benaras-based archeologist (Nagarjuna) and decides to go to Varanasi along with Isha in order to warn him before Junoon and her men reach him.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The inspiration from the west</strong><br />
<br />
Written by Ayan Mukerji and dialogues by Hussain Dalal, the film takes inspiration from the Harry Potter series and Marvel Cinematic Universe to create a story that is very Indian at heart. The result is middling as the story remains extremely convoluted and lacks coherence on several occasions. The first half, when films usually establish the plot, is not very convincing. The pace only picks up in the second half when Amitabh Bachchan's character - as a leader of Brahmansh is introduced, who joins the pieces of the puzzle for Shiva as well as the audience making the story more coherent and believable.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="f" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="85e515e2-cb92-407b-8e84-6b882523e616" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%2821%29_15.jpg" /><br />
<br />
It is quite apparent that the writers borrow heavily from the west. Be it the screenplay that is inspired&nbsp;from Harry Potter and several Marvel films to even the dialogues, which perhaps were primarily thought in English and then translated into Hindi. Like '<em>Brahmastra ki roshni tum dono ke saath rahe'</em> is literally 'May the force be with you' or '<em>Roshni ki taqat mein vishwas rakhta hoon'</em> is 'I believe in the power of light'. The characters are not well etched out and Mukerji's character sketches remain half-baked. Ranbir Kapoor's character asks a lot of questions but never answers any himself. The process of falling in love with Isha seems rather out of the blue. Considering Shiva is propelled by love, the script hardly concentrates on his love story with Isha. Sure, Isha is around always as a supportive girlfriend but it is never established what made the two fall in love in the first instance.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The special effects and music</strong><br />
<br />
While there are several flaws in the film's writing, the VFX more than makes up for it. It is a visual extravaganza that Indian cinema has not seen. SS Rajamouli's 'Baahubali' too was heavily backed by VFX but 'Brahmastra' perhaps takes it a step ahead. The second half especially is stunning.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film's music by Pritam too is praiseworthy. Each song- from 'Dance Ka Bhoot' to 'Deva Deva' to ever popular 'Kesariya' are beautifully composed and stays with you much after the film. The sons have also been shot really well by cinematographers Sudeep Chatterjee, Patrick Duroux, Pankaj Kumar, Manikandan, and Vikash Nowlakha.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The performances</strong></p>

<p>The film is not performance-driven even though it has some prominent faces playing key roles. Amitabh Bachchan plays his usual patriarch in the film, and Mukerji underuses the crackling chemistry that his lead- real-life couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt share. As a matter of fact, the two actors are very underused. These roles could have been done by anyone, it did not need a Ranbir or an Alia to drive it forward. Mouni Roy, as the evil Junoon is the only actress who impressed me- but the dialogues deeply fail her too. Watch out for the interesting cameos that are spread over 166 minutes of the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The makers demand a suspension of disbelief while watching the film and thanks to its VFX, one wants to indulge in Mukerji's vision. 'Brahmastra' got delayed multiple times because the director wanted the special effects to look a certain way and the hard work shows on screen. Sure, the story is illogical&nbsp;on many occasions and this is not Mukerji's best writing. But&nbsp;haven't we been indulging Marvel for years as it has released numerous films years after years? There is a fatigue that many MCU fans are facing in present times with repetitive stories and innumerable stand-alone films, and perhaps that's why the introduction of Ayan Mukerji's Atra-verse in 'Brahmastra' can satiate the craving of ardent superhero fans.&nbsp;<br />

'Brahmastra' movie review: Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt's film works for its special effects, not for its story

<p>'Brahmastra', written and directed by Ayan Mukerji, not only aims to be the next 'Baahubali', an epic, globe-spanning success from India, but also has ambitions to give an answer to Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU in the form of 'Astraverse'. Incidentally, Disney, the owner of Marvel Studios, is co-producing 'Brahmastra' through its subsidiary Star Studios. Starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in lead roles, the film has been in development in one form or another since 2014. Its filming lasted an incredible five years from 2018 to 2022. Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, and Nagarjuna Akkineni also star.</p>

<p>The film is based on stories from Hindu mythology. Its title derives from the divine weapon of Brahma, the god of creation. The trailers and promos of 'Brahmastra' have impressed the fans. The visuals look quite impressive. Indian movies, even the most expensive ones, have almost always disappointed moviegoers with subpar CGI and special effects. Judging by the trailer at least, 'Brahmastra' looks good.</p>

<p>In terms of box office, 'Brahmastra' has to break the jinx of the recent big-budget Bollywood releases like 'Laal Singh Chaddha' and 'Raksha Bandhan', all of which have flopped at the box office. Like other Hindi films, 'Brahmastra' is also beset with boycott hashtags that are trending on social media sites. We do not, however, know if they actually affect the box office performance of films.</p>

<p>"We have had disaster after disaster. The sad part was that the films were not picking up at all. Shows were being cancelled, and this was happening for big star cast films.

'Brahmastra', written and directed by Ayan Mukerji, not only aims to be the next 'Baahubali', an epic, globe-spanning success from India, but also has ambitions to give an answer to Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU in the form of 'Astraverse'.

'Brahmastra' box office Day 1 prediction: Will Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt fantasy film break the Bollywood jinx?

<p>With just two days left for Bollywood's big-budget film 'Brahmastra' to hit the big screens, the film's lead pair Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt along with the filmmaker Ayan Mukerji addressed the media in New Delhi on Wednesday and spoke about how they have lived through the film for the last 5 years.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'Brahmastra' has been facing protests on social media as trolls have demanded a boycott of the film over past interviews of Alia and Ranbir which they have claimed hurt their religious sentiments.<br />
<br />
While the 'B' word was avoided at the press meet, the stars of the film were asked to address the current cancel culture which has in fact affected box office numbers of the recent Bollywood releases including Ranbir's 'Shamshera'.<br />
<br />
"I'll speak for my own film. A month and a half back my film 'Shamshera' was released in theatres. I didn't feel any negativity around it. The film did not work at the box office because maybe the audience didn't like it. Eventually, it is about the content. People go to the cinemas to experience different emotions, have a great laugh and cry- we all go to the theatres for that. If a film doesn't work, it is because the content did not work, not for any other reason. That's the truth. "&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Ranbir's wife, Alia Bhatt too refused to acknowledge the recent boycott trend that exists in India and said the climate of the country is perfect to release a film like 'Brahmastra'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"It is a beautiful environment to release a film like 'Brahmastra'. We should all be grateful, that we are healthy. The climate is not negative. We should be grateful that films are back in theatres."&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the event, the press was shown 20 minutes of the film's footage which gave a glimpse of the scale of the film. Mounted on a huge scale with VFX done by a company based outside India, 'Brahmastra' attempts to blend Hindu mythology and modern technology together to tell a original story, said the film's creator Ayan Mukherji. The film has been in the making for 5 years and Mukerji started writing it 10 years back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A labour of love for the team, Mukerji revealed that the film's final post production work ended just a few days back and that he was anxious of how the audience would take in the film.</p>

<p>The trio, on Tuesday had faced protest as they made their way to Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh- a state in central India. The three were supposed to visit the temple together but due to protests from local groups, Alia and Ranbir had reportedly decided to skip their visit. Clearing the air, Mukerji stated that it was he who had discouraged the two to visit owing to Alia's health. The actress is expecting her first child with Ranbir Kapoor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Both of them were very keen about coming with me to the temple. But when we reached Ujjain and we heard about the protests, I didn't want to take Alia along due to her current condition. I felt very bad later than they could have easily come along with me, so that's on me,"&nbsp;</p>

<p>When the trio was asked what would they say to those who had called for a boycott of the film, Ayan replied, "In 'Brahmastra' we have this line, 'The light is coming.' By light we mean everything positive and spiritual in life. We must only spread light and positivity in life. We have worked so hard for this film, it has so much of celebration of Indian culture, that I feel every Indian will see it and feel that positivity."&nbsp;</p>
