Have you ever imagined what would happen if Lord Rama’s bow, ‘Mirai,’ fell into the hands of a modern superhero? If not, prepare yourself, because director Karthik Gattamneni’s ‘Mirai’ brings us precisely that spectacle. This isn’t just a film; it’s an experience that transports you from the glorious past of the Ramayana to the thrilling action of today’s world. A confluence of story, VFX, and acting such as this is rarely seen.
After ‘HanuMan,’ Teja Sajja has once again demonstrated that he’s not just an actor, but a star who excels in every film. So, now, it’s time to find out why ‘Mirai’ is not just a movie, but a next-level experience.
The film’s story begins during the time of Emperor Ashoka, when, after the Kalinga War, he concealed his divine powers in nine books. To protect these books, protectors from nine different religions and societies were appointed. One of these books hides the secret of immortality, which a villain named Mahavira Lama wants to achieve to destroy all of humanity. The responsibility to stop him falls on the shoulders of a child who, while still in his mother’s womb, gains knowledge of acquiring Lord Rama’s weapon, ‘Mirai.’ How all of this unfolds is something you’ll have to see in the theater.
The film takes you from the icy Himalayas to the lanes of Varanasi, the bridges of Kolkata, and then to the deserts of Morocco. This journey in the film is so captivating that you won’t want to move from your seat. The biggest plus point of the film is its storytelling. This film is a powerful mix of mythology and science fiction. The way characters from the Ramayana, such as Lord Rama, Jatayu, and Sampati, are incorporated into the story is truly amazing. It not only entertains you but also leaves a lasting impact. The action sequences and VFX in the film are so spectacular that they rival Hollywood. There’s life in every scene, every frame, and it’s all a result of Karthik Gattamneni’s vision and his team’s hard work.
After watching Mirai on the big screen, it seems that Karthik Gattamneni hasn’t just directed this film, but lived it. His grip on the story is so strong that he doesn’t let you feel bored anywhere. The way he has presented a complex story in a simple manner is commendable. The screenplay of the film is tight, and every scene has a purpose. The dialogues, cinematography, and background score all perfectly match the story. For example, the way Lord Rama’s guru, Agastya Muni, is shown in a modern and cool style, and it doesn’t feel bad at all after watching it. Karthik’s experiment can set a new trend in cinema.
Teja Sajja shines in this film. After ‘HanuMan,’ he has proved that he is a pan-India star. His character not only performs action but also has emotional depth. He has completely done justice to the role of a 24-year-old superhero. Manoj Manchu is excellent in the role of the villain. His dark and intense screen presence scares you. Ritika Nayak and Shriya Saran have also played their characters well. Veteran actors like Jagapathi Babu and Jayaram have brought life to the film. You will be amazed to see Jayaram’s Agastya Muni.
If you want to see something new and amazing in Indian cinema, then ‘Mirai’ is for you. It’s not just a film, but an experience. This combination of a great story, amazing VFX, and brilliant acting will force you to applaud in the cinema hall. This film shows Indian mythology in a new and modern style, and that’s what makes it special.
Overall, ‘Mirai’ is a film that you must see. It not only entertains, but also connects you with Indian history and faith. Karthik’s ‘Mirai’ is a lesson for Bollywood filmmakers that big and spectacular films can be made even on a low budget.
