Brahmastra review thread [WITH SPOILERS] - Page 3

The whole ancient Hindu history angle is also very forced I thought …

This is token Hinduism thrown in to appease the current market …like yes throw in words like vanar, nag, nandi etc but there is no significance or relevance to them or those symbols and neither do they explore their use…

for eg: nandi bull is a vehicle of lord shiva and his protector ….if they really wanted to invest in the Hindu mythology side they would have explored stories between nandi and shiva and tried to incorporate that dynamic between shiva and the astra….

Lord shiva goddess parvati dynamic …what makes their bond so beautiful is not attraction …it’s that they work with each other’s flaws and Balance each other out ….there are several stories in Hindu mythology of lord shiva calming down parvathy when she’s in her “kaali” avatar (enraged) and her calming him down when he’s enraged and about to open his third eye to cause destruction …

Shiva and esha here are nothing like shiva and parvathi or any of their characteristics ….

As an example let’s take what rajamouli did with baahubali…the second part of it is pretty much a re telling of Ramayana in many ways with some characters getting inspired by the Mahabharata even …baahubali is like Rama- virtuous kind and intelligent ….sivagami is like kaikei who gets influenced by bad ppl and banishes baahubali for her own son ….devasena has characteristics of draupadi(revenge) and sita (she follows baahubali even when he’s banished from the kingdom)….Bhallaldev has shades of duryodhan and raavan (disrespecting women) and bijjaldev has shades of shakuni (manipulation) …kattappa in many ways is similar to Hanuman as a loyal dutiful helper….

Baahubali and sivagamis equation is similar to krishna and yashodha (adopted son)…

Baahubali and devasena are similar to shiv and parvathi and share their characteristics …they are both fierce, stand their ground against all odds… baahubali is a bit of a simpleton too like bholenath

Someone who has actually read and understood hindu mythology will incorporate so many themes and character arcs from mythology so seamlessly into the story ….

Here ayan has them go to varanasi to sing “love storiyan” ….and throws random words in to sound “pracheen” , randomly had 5 kids call themselves pandavas….isha calls herself parvathy….and ranbir fashions a random trident out of fire at the end🤦‍♀️

It just shows a clear lack of understanding of the same mythology they claimed to be so obsessed with …shame

My review has plenty of spoilers

All the actors looked their best in the movie and were presented well (apart from Mouni because of her character and lips). The Songs were amazing especially kesariya. It’s cool that Shiva can read minds and gets dreams of brahmastra even when he is awake. I liked srk’s role it was about 30mins length I hope we get more scenes of him in the next movies. Shiva fell in love with isha so easily and isha agreed to go with him/ trusted him easily, not enough progression of feelings shown. Dadu was a funny character. Some dialogues were funny. Isha keeps saying tum ho kaun in the first half and Shiva told her everything in his heart quickly.

First half was mindblowing apart from the many deaths. Some Shiva Isha scenes were nice like car and party scene. In the 2nd half Shiva remembers his mother’s death. In the second half I liked ranbir amitabh, fire and talking about amrita scenes most.

Zor and Junoon want Brahmastra.Junoon is doing it to resurrect dev her guru. Junoon has a Stone and a guru too (dev).

Brahmansh protect astras this includes guru ji. Isha is Shiva’s button to become agni. Pyar vs darr shakti bit was nice. Amrita (likely to be Deepika) is Ranbir’s mother in the movie 😂 Shiva found the third part from Amrita’s (his mother’s) shell. Most of the vfx was good apart from when shiva wore the necklace or when junoon’s face changed. Alia was okay apart from the crying scene when tenzin fell. Isha’s kaun ho tum was repetitive and she wasn’t really needed in the second half except for the last 25mins (before the final face off). The ending about love was sweet. I wanted to know who will play dev.

Ranbir, Amitabh and Mouni were great. Alia was okay but Aloobir chemistry was a bit off. The film is a nice watch something different but 2nd part could be slightly better. I liked it more than Taran said though. I am a fan of Ayaan films.
