Brahmastra Part One: Shiva is the first in Ayan’s Astraverse trilogy. It is being praised for the use of VFX in bringing the action scenes to life on screen. The Hindustan Times review of the film read: “Watch Brahmastra because it’s not every day that Bollywood churns out a film on this grand scale, with top-class VFX and creates a mystical universe that we only see in the West or closer home in the south film industry. And given that it’s a planned trilogy, you’d be already left craving for a part two sooner.”
