What are your predictions for Brahmastra?

Yes, I'm talking about Ayan Mukerji's movie that's bankrolled by KJO and starring nepokids Ranbir and Alia.

I'd want nothing more than a good Hindi fantasy movie, but I'm effing skeptical.

Ayan Mukerji is a slice of life director who has never done a speculative (sci-fi, horror, fantasy) movie in his life. The budget of Brahmastra is around Rs. 150 crore most of which was probably spent on the starcast's salary as is the tradition. Mukerji recently pushed back the release date by six months to do more work on the special effects which sounds sketchy to me as it was an unplanned decision. Ranbir described the film as "romantic-fairytale in a supernatural format" which gives me Naagin vibes, lmfao.

I wish KJO had the guts to hire a visionary indie writer/director (Marvel Studios does this for their superhero movies) for this film instead. Anand Gandhi (creative director of Tumbbad and Ship of Thesus) or Aditya Vikram Sengupta (Jonaki) would have been better choices.

My prediction is that if the film is barely competent it will be a hit, but the bar of the Indian audience is astronomically high like never before. I'm waiting for the trailer.

But what are your thoughts? Do you think it will be a massive hit?

its a big risk tho

It sounds like a very risky project. But may work if well executed.

all time blockbuster it will be.

wait and watch.

Either it's gonna be an all time blockbuster or a complete failure. I don’t see a middle ground here. But nothing is predictable anymore, the real hype around the release time will decide it’s fate. But as of now, everything is thanda.

I want the movie to flop 😳

At the best it will be a hit. A jabardasti hit like ADHM.
