Critics Consensus

Ambitious yet uneven, Brahmastra Part One: Shiva offers definite pleasures for Bollywood fans, although the incessant spectacle may ultimately overwhelm many viewers.

Audience Says

The story's far-fetched and the dialogue is nothing special, but Brahmastra Part One: Shiva's action and visual effects make it easy to get swept up anyway.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

Despite all those non-stop computer graphics, the opulence of the sets, the starry array, the film’s commitment to its subject, we never really buy into it completely.

Rated: 1.5/5

There are several soft spots in Brahmastra but lack of ambition isn’t one of them.

TheWrap

Neither the action scenes nor the musical numbers stand out, and none of the characters or their performers transcend their expected roles.

While the special appearances may pull in the crowd initially, it doesn’t keep them happy.

Maybe Brahmastra would have benefited from a small screen release. At least the issues wouldn’t have been so visible.

A decent story coupled with good acting and terrible dialogues. But there is a lot of potential moving forward into the sequel(s). An innovative project, to say the least.

Awesome movie original to Indian culture, to call it our own astra verse! so many Indian origin kids living in other countries can relate to these superheroes! we should not compare them with Marvel comics....I loved how much life the actors, other non-star members, and director put life into this movie!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
