A Bolly venture with world class special effects is the most positive thing; a screenplay without story /thread is the most negative thing!

special effects, editing, cameos of SRK & Nagarjuna

Storyline, Screenplay, Cheeky but inefficient dialogues(including dialogues), Too long climax, Never ending fighting scenes, Not doing justice for side characters like Shiva’s friends and children he used to take care of
Big break for Mouni Roy as Junoon. I thought Junoon is someone like a spiritual daughter of Agni Dev/Dev and represents his Junoon to become the most powerful one. Junon’s character is never explained as why she is so much interested to collect those three pieces? What is her connection to Dev?
Ayan lost an interesting love triangle where Dev impregnates both Amrita and junoon’s mother and Shiva and junoon are step bro-sis. Like saas-bahu jhagra of Bahubali 2, the Bramhastra 2 could have one man two women melodrama then…supporting why once lovers Dev and Amrita becomes foes later. Much like the fact that love is the ultimate positive ashtra, discovering your love interest with someone else in bed is the ultimate negative ashtra(LOL), also .is Mouni expecting? why not a single glimpse of her beautiful carves?!
Point is, the main villain is so poorly drawn …….I was elated to see a woman as the main villain…but gross injustice to establish the character.
Btw, Nandiashtra could have been a headgear as the bull has its strength in his horn
So, we can see there are three tiers of bramhash members
Tier 1: people like Shiva and other ashramites who are a weapon themselves(this could have been one or two of shiva’s own orphan children…there could have been a thread / story then. Why those artists are wasted just for a chikni chameli dance number?
Tier 2: Guruji has significant weapon irrespective of physical energy enhancement
Tier 3: people with lesser significant weapons that only enhance their physical energy
Suggestion: black long coat with a hood is very easily detectable attire. Why the villain wd continue with this even in a crowded place? The villain doesnot have to wear black to establish her negativity right?
As ayan’s flim talks about controlling the energy/power inside, the director himself should have shown some control on the power of special effect vs storytelling
