Ayan Mukerji manages to create a wondrous spectacle by mixing genres and influences from the Western( particularly, American) and Indian canon and mythology.
There is so much hard work put into 'Brahmastra'. Particularly the special effects, the mixing and owing of genre conventions, and through Alia and Ranbir's performances for which 'Brahmastra' deserves its due respect and place in Indian cinematic history.”
