Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva has been receiving rave reviews for its action sequences and VFX and is performing well at the box office. However, the Ayan Mukerji directorial is receiving a lot of flak online for its writing and dialogues. In a recent interview, the director opened up about the criticism and said he thought this would give the film a soul.
Talking about the criticism, Ayan told Indian Express, “I thought this would give the film a soul. That the greatest energy comes from within you and the greatest form of energy is when you are in a state of love. It may have sounded better on paper than it came across to certain people.”
