Brahmāstra Trailer Goes Viral In No Time At All

Karan  Johar, Ayan Mukerji and Ranbir  Kapoor can breathe easy. The trailer  of  Brahmāstra  is  a  huge hit within hours of its release. Almost everything in  the trailer, from  its  out-of-this-world  special effects  to the   way the actors project themselves, is  being talked about.

Netizens  are going ga-ga over ‘Marvel wali vibes’  that they  experience  while watching the trailer.

Sure enough, there is  enough  dazzle and daring in  the trailer to make us very curious about the  film. Ranbir Kapoor  abandons  the sullen look  that he wears everywhere these days. For  a change he looks happy. Maybe  it’s the company he keeps in the film. Who wouldn’t be joyous sharing screen space with the sunshine girl Alia  Bhatt?

 I didn’t see enough of  my friends Mr Bachchan and Nagarjuna  in  the trailer. There could be two  reasons for their scarcity in the trailer. Either Ayan Mukerji is saving them up for more in  the second trailer or  the more sobering explanation: they have limited time in the  film as well.

 Going by what we see in the trailer  Brahmāstra  brims  over with colour, passion, folklore and  fantasy, all mixed and stirred in  just the  right proportion.

Most  importantly, Brahmāstra  is  our first attempt at a  genuinely global  super-hero film. Ranbir Kapoor makes  a credible  aam aadmi with superpowers.
