This 2 hour 47 minute mega budget film was released after 6 delays in 8 years, earned Rs 418 crore, the film is.., lead actors are....
In the world of showbiz, many films come and go like passing clouds. With the overload of content on OTT and releases every Friday, audiences have a shorter attention span and many options to binge on. Therefore, the time alignment of the film holds paramount importance as that can become the making and breaking factor of the movie at the box office. However, there are a few films that surpass these odds and emerge as winners.
The film that we are talking about is none other than 'Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva. Released on September 9, 2022. This movie was in the making for nearly a decade and got postponed six times in s span of 8 years. But when it finally did, it hit gold at the box office, and not only that, but it also reignited theatrical business by bringing about cinematic excitement post-COVID.
The film was originally announced in 2014 with the title 'Dragon'. Aryan Mukeji's film plot revolved around fire, energy, and the ancient weapon Brahmastra.
Earlier, this film was supposed to be released on Independence Day in 2019, but then it got postponed to Christmas. Again, its release got further escalated to September 2020; however, the pandemic broke in 2020 and was finally released in the year 2022.
But despite multiple delays, this mega-budget film was made on a whopping cost of Rs. 410 crores. It collected Rs. 75 crores on the opening day and Rs. 418 crores worldwide in its total theatrical run. Reigniting the magic of the big screen, this movie was a massive hit both commercially and critically. From the larger-than-life visual experience to the great VFX, storytelling, and the star-studded cast, everything about this film was an experience to watch.
This multi-starrer film featured Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead, marking as their debut as a couple, which was widely hailed given their real-life relationship. It also featured superstars like Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Shah Rukh Khan's cameo.
Brahmastra wasn't just a film, it was an experience that entailed elements that the Indian audience had never seen before.
This story of Brahmastra also goes contrary to the belief of 'timing is everything', rather, it's the vision, story, and great cast that is everything.

Gold price cools, silver stays firm at 1.04L/kg in Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad: After breaching the Rs 1 lakh mark, cooled off on Saturday to settle at Rs 99,200 per 10 grams, down by Rs 700 in a single trading session. Silver, however, continued to stay firm at Rs 1.04 lakh per kg. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Bullion traders and analysts attributed the correction in gold to easing geopolitical tensions and profit booking by investors after a sharp rally. "Some cooling was expected as gold touched record highs recently. However, overall sentiment remains bullish in the medium term," said a bullion dealer from the city. Silver, on the other hand, maintained its upward trajectory, buoyed by strong industrial demand and global market trends. Traders anticipate volatility in both metals in the coming days, hinging on international cues, inflation data, and interest rate signals from the US Federal Reserve. Despite the dip, jewellers have hopes pinned on muhurats and the festival season for demand to regain some momentum.

Tripura: Authorities get strict as 60 per cent consumers found not paying power bills
Agartala: Around 60 per cent electricity consumers in Tripura do not pay energy bills, forcing the authorities to take drastic steps including disconnection of power lines and imposition of hefty fines against the defaulters, an official said on Saturday. A senior official of the Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL) said that out of 9.87 lakh electricity consumers in the state, only 4.32 lakh customers are paying their bills on time. 'Lakhs of electricity consumers, mostly in rural and interior areas, do not pay their electricity bills. We have imposed a hefty fine and disconnected electric lines of the defaulters,' the official said. He said that during the past two years, the electricity lines of thousands of default consumers were disconnected. 'In many occasions, the TSECL engineers and workers were attacked or prevented when they went to disconnect the power lines of default consumers,' the official said. Tripura Power and Agriculture Minister Ratan Lal Nath earlier said that the TSECL has undertaken a massive effort across the state to install rooftop solar power plants in thousands of homes under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, a central scheme encouraging rooftop solar power adoption through generous subsidies. Under the scheme, residents can install rooftop solar panels and not only reduce their electricity expenses to zero but also earn refunds for surplus energy supplied back to the grid, the Minister had said. 'My last power bill before installing the solar plant was Rs 8,726. Now, after switching to solar, I received a refund of Rs 763 from TSECL,' Nath said. The TSECL purchasing power from the solar power suppliers at Rs 2.65 per unit the Minister had said adding that over 300 households have installed rooftop solar plants so far in Tripura and thousands of families registered their names seeking to install such solar plants under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Nath on Friday said that the TSECL is contemplating to use drones and other technologies to detect power theft, power loss and illegal hook line usage in the state. The Minister urged the people to pay electricity bills on time and help the corporation to ensure steady power supply by discouraging theft and wastage. Tripura has been a power surplus state since 2011 and supplies electricity to other northeastern states and neighbouring Bangladesh from its several gas-based power plants.
