So, there was a lot of pressure as to what is going to happen with Hindi films,” he recalled Mukerji said he is happy his film has given a ray of hope to the Hindi film industry. It was a bigger film and recently Hindi films have not done well unfortunately.
I was making this cinematic spectacle, using visual effects, with a little Indianism running through it. “We may think it’s a big film and has got all the ingredients, sometimes the audience may not feel that way. The film has also managed to give hope to Bollywood, which is reeling under the poor performance of star vehicles such as the Akshay Kumar-starrer ”Prithviraj”, ”Laal Singh Chaddha” headlined by Aamir Khan, and lead actor Ranbir’s last release “Shamshera”.īut there were Friday jitters for Mukerji, who said the pressure to deliver on the promise of larger-than-life cinema, which combined ancient Hindu mythology and avant garde visual effects, rose by a notch before the release. Amitabh Bachchan features as Guruji, Shiva’s mentor. “Brahmastra” follows a DJ named Shiva (Ranbir), who sets out on a journey to find the origins of his special powers with Isha (Alia), a woman he falls in love with at first sight. “Slowly, many more bigger event films will be the leaders of the box office in India, not to say that the smaller films won’t do well,” the director, known for making coming-of-age drama “Wake Up Sid” and rom-com “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”, added. This year, the Indian exhibition sector itself has witnessed the phenomenal box office success of lavishly mounted south Indian films such as “KGF: Chapter 2” starring Yash, SS Rajamouli’s “RRR”, and Kamal Haasan’s “Vikram”. This has been the tendency globally for the last 15 years, added Mukerji, an admirer of Hollywood tentpole blockbusters like ”The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and several superhero films from Marvel Studios. And what is big screen worthy is giving big screen visuals,” the 39-year-old director told PTI in an interview here.
”The reason you come out to watch a film on the big screen is that it should offer you something that is big screen worthy. With the advent of technology, audiences want that big screen experience. ”Around the time when I decided to embark on making a film like ‘Brahmastra’ years ago, there was a trend to come in and watch stuff on the bigger screen. According to Mukerji, the audience today looks forward to having a cinematic experience in theatres, which he believes only juggernaut multi-starrers can offer.
