‘Brahmastra’ was a film which released in the middle of heavy criticism and boycott campaigns. Many said that the trailer was not up to the expected level and the graphics were too artificial. Many speculated the film to not get good openings and trolled it heavily. But the aggressive promotions of the team made the film get tremendous openings. ‘Brahmastra’ got 75 crores on the first day of its release.
The movie opened to packed houses and the collection by the end of its first week was 225 crores. It earned a gross of over 70 crores in its first three days which is a huge achievement considering the state of Bollywood films at the moment. At a time when big names like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Aamir Khan, Ranveer Singh and others have failed to bring audiences to the theatres. Ranbir Kapoor and the stellar star cast succeeded in doing it despite the mixed reviews.
Many felt that the film would continue its successful run. Considering the budget involved, ‘Brahmastra’ needed to get good collections for at least another week or two. But that is not the case at the moment as the collections witnessed a sixty percent dip on Monday. It had a drastic fall on Tuesday too and trade pundits reveal that it managed to get only 25 crores gross in two days.
Though the first weekend’s collections were fantastic, the movie managed to recover only 40% of its investment and with the continuous drop in collections, ‘Brahmastra’ may soon end as a big disaster despite a grand opening. Ranbir and Alia Bhatt are the hero and heroine in this project while Big B Amitabh Bachchan, King Nagarjuna, Mouni Roy and others played key roles. Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan gave a special appearance in this high-budget supernatural drama.
Produced jointly by Star Studios, Dharma Productions, Prime Focus and Star Light Pictures, this grand project is an adventure film with a lot of supernatural elements inspired by the Hindu gods. ‘Baahubali’ and ‘RRR’ director SS Rajamouli presented this film in South India.

Harish Shankar Clarifies No Political Dialogues in Ustaad Bhagat Singh
“Aura of Ustaad,” the second single from Ustaad Bhagat Singh, starring Pawan Kalyan, was released recently. Director Harish Shankar used the song as a tribute to Pawan Kalyan’s signature style and mannerisms, which thrilled fans.
The lyrical video also featured glimpses from Pawan Kalyan’s political journey, sparking speculation about whether the film would include political undertones or dialogues targeting the YSR Congress Party.
Addressing these discussions, Harish Shankar released a clarification video. He stated that Pawan Kalyan had clearly instructed him to keep politics and cinema separate. “That’s why his films feature actors like Prakash Raj despite ideological differences. There will be no dialogues or references targeting anyone in this film. Pawan Kalyan has fans across political parties. However, there will be powerful lines like ‘Gaaju Glass’ to elevate the hero,” Harish Shankar explained.
His clarification has brought relief to many who were concerned about overt political messaging in the film. In recent years, there has been growing debate about mixing political references with commercial cinema. Some filmmakers have chosen to avoid such elements entirely, focusing instead on storytelling and mass appeal. For instance, director Sujeeth ensured that OG stayed away from direct political references, which was widely appreciated by fans.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh has been under production for a long time and faced multiple delays due to various factors. In the meantime, Harish Shankar released Mr Bachchan, which did not perform well at the box office. With that setback behind him, the director is now hoping for a strong comeback with this much-awaited project.
As expectations remain high, fans are eager to see whether Ustaad Bhagat Singh delivers purely as a mass entertainer, keeping politics aside as promised.
