Superb cinematography too!
Edit: adding a few extra points i forgot:
Background score and music top notch and also the choreography and presentation of songs. The final moments of dance ka Bhoot song were epic.
Performance wise Amitabh Bachchan was much better than the rest.
Junoon was OK in parts.
Her sidekicks though not menacing at all. Needed more work on the villains.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!
The love story is not great, you don’t feel the instant connection with them, and you can see they are really trying to sell the soulmates at first sight trope, but we can see the desperate attempt and it falls flat and feels forced, only saw their chemistry in patches and that doesn’t work for the story.
The character of Isha in the whole film seems pointless, even with her being a trigger to his powers is not felt, it should’ve been connected to his mother instead. Mouni has a meatier role than Alia. Also her performance is pretty average, so far she has only done it with well written and fleshed out characters, the reason why I always stop from calling her truly great because the actresses in the 90’s were convincing the audience even with shittier written roles.
Some were saying Alia will probably have a better role in the next one but with, people are saying Deepika is the one representing jalastra, and with the story being about Dev will she really have anything great to do?
Dialogues are cringy as f***, Amitabh’s performance and delivery saved it in his scenes actually he was the best part of the movie, unfortunately SRK’s dialogues were cringe and he couldn’t save those, although his presence was enjoyable for those few minutes. Dimple Kapadia literally had a two minute role I think she only had one dialogue… I’m thinking these actors like Dimple and Nagarjuna are going to have bigger parts in the next one or I don’t know why the hell they spent all that money on their fees for few minute appearances, when it could’ve been done with any actor.
I saw Ranbir’s effort, felt like he was convincing as Shiva.
The Astras history or introduction is only talked about at the beginning, i wish there was a way to flesh that out. In later parts we just saw very quick glimpses of them.
The movie was alright, my expectations were a bit too high, but I am so happy it has got a good opening whether it sustains is to be seen but I am happy BoycottBollywood gang didn’t succeed in their nonsense. 
also… my poor tenzing
