The much awaited Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer ‘Brahmastra’ has been released in theatres on Friday. The movie took off a good start at the box office but received mixed reviews from the audiences and critics alike.
Many critics hailed th4e VFX work the movies has put but also pointed out the weak and slow storyline of the movie. The movie has reportedly earned over 30 crores in its opening day.
Actress Kangana Ranaut slammed the makers of the movie and called it a disaster. Kangana took to her Instagram and targeted producer Karan Johar, she said, “People like Karan Johar should be questioned for their conduct. He is more interested in everyone’s sex life than in his films scripts. He self admittedly buys reviews, stars, and fake collection numbers and tickets. This time around he tried to ride Hinduism and south wave.”
Kangana pointed out Karan Johar for riding out in the ‘South Wave’ as many big names from south Indian cinema were seen promoting Brahmastra and even superstar Nagarjuna is playing a vital role in this movie, The queen actress further wrote, “They will do everything but not hire competent writer, director, actors and other talents… why not in the first place hire those they went begging to fix this disaster called Brahmastra.”
Kangana also slammed director Ayan Mukherji and said that he has ‘burnt 600 crores to ashes’, she wrote, “Everyone who called Ayan Mukerji a genius should be jailed immediately… He took 12 years to make this film, he replaced 14 DOP’s he shot for more than 400 days for this film and changed 85 ADs and burnt 600 crores to ashes. Also tried to exploit religious sentiments by changing the film name from Jalaluddin Rumi to Shiva last minute, because of Bahubali success…. Such opportunists, such creativity deprived people, success starved greedy people if called geniuses then it’s not manipulation but a well thought of strategy to call din ko raat and raat ko din…”
But Amid all the criticism the movie seems to be able to pull the audiences towards the theatres. The movie also stars, Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni roy in important roles and as per reports Shahrukh Khan also plays a cameo in the high on VFX movie.
