Astras of power are preserved by a group known as the Brahmnsh since the period of the Ancient Vedic literature, which is set in modern India. The Brahmstra, named after the gods' ultimate weapon, is the most potent of these astras. The cosmos as we know it is under attack by a dark, enigmatic power that wants to awaken the Brahmstra. When our hero Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor) enters the enchanted realm of the Astras, he discovers his enigmatic relationship to the Brahmnsh and the Brahmstra. Shiva learns the truth about his own destiny as a heavenly hero and the immense strength—the power of Fire—that is within him.

Brahmastra review:
Brahmastra: Part One — Shiva, a movie that took Ayan Mukerji almost nine years to complete, is a mediocre effort at fantasy fiction because it falls into the trap of giving the audience false optimism when they are used to Bollywood's protracted period of box office dormancy.
Since the errors seem to go on forever, it's difficult to identify exactly where Brahmastra fails. The movie serves as a reminder of how we frequently overlook the basics in the quest to create grandeur and excellence, whether it be through the painfully staged meet-cute between the two protagonists Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor) and Isha (Alia Bhatt), where the former follows the latter into an elevator after he is enthralled by her in a single glance, or the cliched dialogue that follows.
The movie relies on several really captivating songs to move the plot forward, like Kesariya, Dance Ka Bhoot, and Deva Deva, but even those songs feel out of place in the narrative and result in a hurried, chaotic development that leaves little room for the characters to find their footing. Shiva, who is swiftly shown to be an orphan raising other children just like himself, is hurriedly thrust into his quest to learn about his abilities. Friends and relatives from Shiva and Isha's previous lives seem to be as disposable as Brahmastra's logical storyline, which is to say that they conveniently vanish whenever it suits them.
Brahmastra fails miserably in delivering on its promise to spin the heavens and dance with the winds, while having a promising idea. Shiva, who has the ability to manipulate fire to such an extent that he is an astra in his own right, mostly appears to be engaged in a game of twister. Shiva really makes the amusing remark that Amitabh Bachchan's Guruji more closely resembles a modern-day rock star rather than the head of the whole Brahmansh, the organization that guards the three-part Brahmastra and the astras formed in ancient India.
Unfortunately, Mouni Roy does bring to mind Indian soap operas, whereas Nagarjuna is an unforgivably wasted opportunity. However, Dimple Kapadia suffers the worst outcome in a fleeting cameo of negligible significance. Unfortunately, only Shah Rukh Khan is able to justify the scale Brahmastra was aiming for, and even he suffers from cringe-inducing language.
All of this is set against the Himalayas, ancient forces, Hindu mythology, and the Gods themselves, as GPS saves the day, demi-gods fight in penthouses with fire and bullets, and sage mentors rely on Macbook Pros for guidance. It is challenging for Brahmastra to have the impact it wants because of this perplexing but ambitious fusion of science and religion, old and new, and technology and nature.
However, Brahmastra is still salvageable since it is a movie created for the big screen with exceptional visual effects that can compete with those of Marvel and DC. Astonished by the overwhelming beauty of the items on exhibit, one is transported to the role of a child lost in a candy shop by the visual spectacle. If only it didn't come across as so remote and urban and kept true to the origins of the narrative it attempts to portray.
To give credit where credit is due, the movie is undoubtedly a reminder to the Western superheroes that India has finally arrived. However, only time will tell if India has the ability and the drive to remain and conquer. In the meanwhile, Brahmasrtra merits seeing in a theater because, despite its flaws, the movie is hopefully the beginning of something spectacular that will once again fascinate and charm us enough to visit a movie theater.
