Speculations and rumours are rife about the mega-budget film "Brahmastra", released this Friday 9th September. A section which is a supporter of the boycott of Mumbaiya Hindi films, is of the opinion that 'Brahmastra' is going to hit the last nail on the coffin of Bollywood films!
Why, how we will disclose next. The second category are the ardent fans of the film cast-team- Ranbir, Alia, Nagarjuna, Amitabh, Shahrukh, Karan Johar, Ayan Mukerji,
They believe that this film of the most expensive budget ever made in Hindi will give a new direction and condition and rejuvenated new-life to the sinking, down-slide Bollywood.
We will first talk about the nagging curiosity about "Brahmastra". Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor's film to be released post marriage is being seen as their honeymoon film. Both the husband and wife have a romantic role in the film. Fans of both the stars have been super-curious about the film since the time of their marriage.
The producer of the film is Karan Johar who does not cut down on the budget and grandeur of the film. This film has been made at a total cost of over Rs 410 crores. Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of Guru in the film and Shah Rukh Khan plays a comic ( scientist) role in this mythological-fiction wrapped film.
Showman Karan Johar does not want to leave any stone unturned to promote the film and to remain curious, he has released only the teaser of the film instead of the trailer.
Not only in the northern cities of the country, Karan Johar and his team have not stopped short of giving momentum to the campaign in the cities of the south as well. Karan Johar tried to convey this by publicly touching Southside superstar Nagarjuna's feet on stage in Hyderabad
Now let's listen to those who even say 'Brahmastra' to put the last nail on Bollywood's fetish-coffin They say that this film being made for over eight (8) years, which was earlier to be made under the name 'Dracula', in which no big star was ready to work in the initial phase, if it is not considered a stale curry, then what else should be understood?
The film whose stars are in trouble to even join the promotions. Ranbir Kapoor is not proud of his disaster 'Shamshera', Alia is pregnant and Amitabh is infected with Corona for the second time, all seem to be silent.
By the way, those who say such things are the same people who are die-hard fans of South films. There is no doubt that these days where many Bollywood films have taken a box-office beating ( flopped badly) one by one, the films of South have become one hit on the other.
After two mega-hit films 'Kashmir Files' and Bhool Bhulaiya-2’ from Bollywood, there have been a string of flop movies. Watch only the last three films - 'Samrat Prithviraj', 'Raksha Bandhan' and 'Lal Singh Chaddha' What has happened to them ?
At the same time, three films made in the south - 'Pushpa: The Rising', 'RRR' and 'KGF 2' have become such mega-hits that they have been released in Pan India.
Actually, the controversy is not about the film of North and South, it is about making good and bad films. It is used in the South to watch their dubbed and remake films with unfamiliar stars, while the audience is tired of watching Bollywood stars' films without strong content and technology.
Now the craze-attraction of seeing the faces of fading-out Hindi stars coming frequently on the screen seems to be dead. The situation is that the 'boycott' of not seeing them which is undeclared, the audience has to go to the cinema hall. Taking the audience away from the cinema hall.
Which is a little expected from 'Brahmastra'. If Ranbir-Alia's magic of coming together after marriage works, then excellent, otherwise a huge South hit film 'Vikram Vedha' is going to be released in Hindi behind it.
If the magic of 'Brahmastra' didn't work, 'Vikram Vedha' did... then needless to say that would be a strong nail on the coffin of Bollywood! And if 'Brahmastra' becomes a mega-hit then Bollywood's 'Boycott' movement will be hit hard. We would say that I wish it were so!
