Brahmastra made history as the first Indian film to debut at #2 on the US box office chart. This epic superhero fantasy brings ancient Indian mythology into the modern world. Director Ayan Mukerji spent 11 years creating this first part of a trilogy, using Hollywood-level visual effects and a star-studded cast to deliver a unique Indian cinematic experience. Even with its long 167-minute runtime, the story about Shiva’s growth and the power of love keeps viewers engaged. Some weak dialogue and a familiar romantic plot hold it back from perfection, but as a showcase of Indian cinema’s technical progress and creativity, it is sure to be remembered.
