Brahmanstra: Part One- Shiva is a movie of stunning visuals that takes a huge leap in Indian cinema. Ayan Mukerji unites the mythology-based narration with the latest VFX, providing viewers with stunning action scenes and amazing world-building. Ranbir Kapoor does a fantastic job as Shiva, showing his vulnerability and strength with emotions that are hard to resist and Alia Bhatt plays a very good match as Isha. Amitabh Bachchan lends a lot of seriousness to the story and Mouni Roy comes out as a strong villain. The emotional rhythm of the film is boosted by the music, especially Kesariya and Deva Deva.

Brahamstra Movie Summary

Nowadays, Shiva is a joyful and carefree DJ living in Mumbai and suddenly having a vision and being fireproof. He comes across Isha during the Durga Puja celebrations and falls in love with her. But this peaceful life of Shiva stops when he starts receiving frightening visions of scientist Mohan Bhargav being assaulted by a wicked faction under Junoon, the servant of the evil being Dev. Mohan guards a section of the lost Brahminstra yet is compelled (by the Vash Mukut curse) to disclose the whereabouts of one more guard, Anish Shetty, and die in his place.

Shiva and Isha go to Varanasi where they warn Anish who hands Shiva the second piece, and they fight to the death. Hunted by the troops of Junoon, Shiva and Isha arrive in the Ashram of Brahmansh, and are welcomed by Guru Raghu who reveals the real identity and origin of Shiva.

Dev revelation and Amrita revelation

Raghu discloses that Shiva is the son of Dev, the sole man that can have control of several astras at a time and Amrita, the protector of Jal Astra. Dev tried to use the Brahmastr as a weapon of destruction and Amrita had to fight him in a fatal fight. Amrita rescued Dev and disarmed the Brahmāstra into three.

Climactic Battle

Junoon infiltrates the Ashram, and takes the last section of the weapon. She sacrifices to open the Brahmanstra. A worldwide catastrophe sets in and Isha finds herself in a trap. Out of love, Shiva manages his Agni Astra and calms down the Brahm Astra, rescuing the world.

Conclusion

Brahminstra: Part one Shiva is a major breakthrough in the Indian cinemas as it combines the mythology, contemporary story telling and the world-leading VFX at a massive scale. Although the movie split critics because of the screenplay and the dialogue, it received tremendous acclaim as far as the visuals, music, performances and concept innovation were concerned. It was able to initiate Indian audiences into a cinematic universe that is based on mythology and is in the same league with Hollywood franchises.
