Alia Bhatt on Brahmastra receiving mixed reactions: We only hope to get positive things rather than negative

Alia Bhatt responded to the conflicting reviews of her most recent hit, Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, by saying viewers have the freedom to voice their thoughts and even criticise a movie. The film, which also features Amitabh Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor, has drawn criticism from several critics and moviegoers for its dialogue and plot. But since its September 9 premiere, the fantasy action-adventure epic's global gross box office receipts have surpassed Rs 300 crore.

At a media event, Alia said that either they choose to concentrate on the good things or they continue to think about the bad ones. The audience is entitled to feedback, criticism, and opinions. They simply wish for favourable outcomes as opposed to unfavourable ones. It is clear that the movie is headed in the correct path, she continued, given how Brahmastra has exploded at the box office since its premiere.

Along with her husband, co-star Ranbir, and director Ayan Mukerji, Alia attended the event. The director said that overall, the movie is performing extremely well, adding that he is pleased with the film's performance and has not yet read all the reviews, both positive and negative. They produce movies for a wide audience, so he's pleased with how well they've done after their debut. Ayan simply pays attention to the good vibes, and he's aware that numerous reviews have been published.

Whether they were positive reviews, fan theories, or criticism, the filmmaker wasn't able to take in all of them. When the moment is right, he will do it. Before starting part two, he will take all of that into account.

Mouni Roy, Nagarjuna, and Shah Rukh Khan all have significant and extended cameo appearances in Brahmastra, which is intended to be a trilogy. Moreover, there's even a blink-and-miss appearance of Deepika Padukone in the film.
