While the narrative and the characters are derivations of several aspirations, this still feels original and new. It’s a fun watch; the only hope is that Mukerji and the team will make a cleverer and more rational entry the next time out. Read full review

Leads Kapoor and Bhatt have an excess of charm and style that leaps off the screen and grabs your heart. Read full review

Mukerji’s biggest achievement is getting this relationship to flourish, Kapoor and Bhatt being among the precious few real-life couples with palpable onscreen chemistry. Read full review

Anyone suffering from severe summer-movie withdrawal might want to seek this one out, so long as they prepare themselves for a familiar summer sensation. The film pops, then fizzes and fades: It’s a firecracker of a movie, for better and worse. Read full review

The film is both sci-fi/fantasy and Bollywood romance, an ambitious introduction to a mythological cinematic universe with the expected hiccups of building a massive world from scratch. It’s an admirable attempt and unmissable theatrical experience for any Bollywood fan. Read full review

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

It's a visual spectacle to experience it in theater, can't say it's flawless but it has the essence of making you enjoy it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I will only say this Do not watch the movie trust it will be a waste of time and money. This movie has literally no backbone and no story other than the too much stretched out love story which also contributed to the film's bad reception among other things, but credit where credit is due the sound effects and vfx are unlike anything i have seen in indian cinema they did a great job there if only they would focus on the rest of the movie as much maybe it could have been better. All in all do not watch the movie it is pathetic.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brahmastra or Premastra?? Wrong genre??
Ayan sir , pls try to make convincing stories about astras.. some misguided wrong infos hurted me a lot!! Ayan only focuses on love chemistry between Ranbir and Alia.. cheap copy of hollywood films, highly dependent on VFX!!

No climax, one sided motto.. Cheap marvel film.. Highly disappointed..
Try to skip this film .. no entertainment .. poor acting too… Expand

Only good thing about the movie is the vfx, which is pretty useless without good storyline and character development. Ghatiya movie.
