Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's Brahmastra Sequels To Be Shot Simultaneously

Mumbai, April 1 - Director Ayan Mukerji's ambitious project Brahmastra had its theatrical debut last year with the first part Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt among others in the key roles. ## After the successful outing of the first of the Brahmastra trilogy, the filmmaker is now working on the next two chapters in the fantasy adventure franchise. During a recent interview with News18, Ayan Mukerji revealed that Brahmastra 2 & 3 would be shot simultaneously for which the writing is underway. ## The first Brahmastra movie, although it received praise for visuals and VFX, did receive a little criticism for poor dialogue writing. Mukerji said that he will write the scripts of the next two films without compromising and this will take some time.## "We will make Brahmastra 2 and 3 together. The truth is we are going to take a little bit of time to write it. I know there's a lot of anticipation. People want the (second part) film to come out. But first, we will write it properly without compromising it. I think it will be about three years from now before we see Brahmastra 2 on the big screen", said Ayan. ## Talking about Brahmastra's dialogues, Ayan said, "We did get some mixed reactions. We still did really good numbers. A lot of people accepted our film. It also did well when it came out on a streaming (platform). It's probably the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022. But I still hear that criticism very clearly".## Produced by Dharma Productions, Starlight Pictures, and Prime Focus in association with Star Studios, Brahmastra Part One: Shiva also stars Amitabh Bachchan, and Mouni Roy. Nagarjuna and Shah Rukh Khan have extended cameos in the film. The movie grossed over 430 crores worldwide and was the highest-grossing Bollywood movie of 2022. ## Stay tuned...

Nani's 'Dasara' Garners Positive Reviews From Critics and Audiences

Hyderabad, March 30 - Telugu actor Nani's maiden Pan India film Dasara has been released in theaters today and the initial response from the critics and audiences is encouraging. Directed by debutante Srikanth Odela, the movie has Keethy Suresh as the female lead. ## The film is set in the backdrop of Singareni coal mines near Godavarikhani of Telangana. It is the costliest film ever for Nani who promised that it would be his finest film to date. The actor's raw and rustic getup is receiving high praise from critics and it seems he has delivered on what he promised. ## Have a look at some of the top reviews from critics - ## Srikanth Odela definitely has potential to be the next big thing from TFI. Cinematography is excellent. BGM is good in a few parts but there were a lot of scenes that could’ve been elevated which the music director fails to do which is the biggest drawback imo. #Dasara— Venky Reviews (@venkyreviews) March 29, 2023 ## #Dasara First Half: good first half 👌👌Interval sequence 🔥🔥🔥#Nani is Just Brilliant as #Dharani #SanthoshNarayan at his best in BGM and Songs 👍👍— 𝐁𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐚 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 (@BheeshmaTalks) March 30, 2023 ## #Dasara : Winner...Climax is an unforgettable spectacle that will be etched in the memories of viewers for years to come, emerging as a clear triumph in the realm of cinema, deserving of a resounding applause...Full Review Sooooonnnnnnnnn— Swathi Cinephile (@Swathi_diva25) March 29, 2023 ## #Dasara Climax was excellent. 2nd half some how not maintained the tempo as in 1st half.
