Fans are thrilled as Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva, the first film featuring Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor together, has won three National Awards. The movie, a passion project for the couple, has been a hot topic since its release.
When it was announced that Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, who were not married at the time, would star in a film together, fans were buzzing with excitement. The idea of seeing this popular pair on screen was a dream come true for many. However, fans had to wait a long time, as the movie, directed by Ayan Mukerji, took five years to hit theaters. Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva finally premiered in 2022.
Mixed Reactions and Triumph
The film received mixed reactions. While some viewers were impressed by the story, performances, music, and visual effects, others criticized the dialogues. Despite this, Brahmāstra’s success at the 70th National Film Awards shows that the hard work put into the film has paid off.
National Awards Success
The film was honored with three National Awards: Best Film in AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comic), Best Music Direction for Pritam, and Best Male Playback Singer for Arijit Singh for the song Kesariya. Fans took to social media to celebrate these wins. One fan praised the VFX work, tweeting, “Not surprised Brahmastra won a national award. People love hating on Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, but the movie had great VFX work and it was a step in the right direction. Got rewarded for the hard work, vision, and bravery.” Another fan simply said, “The hard work is paying off .”
Many fans shared their favorite moments from Brahmāstra, particularly admiring the visual effects. One fan posted a clip of Nagarjuna’s character Anish Shetty wielding the Nandi Āstra, commenting, “If I have to revisit #Brahmastra, the scene I never skip is wielding the Nandi Astra. Easily top-notch acting and VFX, well deserving of #70thNationalAwards.”
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s Special Film
Brahmāstra is not just special for its fans but also for Ranbir and Alia. The couple fell in love while working on the film. Before its release, they had a private wedding ceremony on their Bandra balcony. Later that year, they welcomed their daughter Raha into their lives. Fans are now eagerly anticipating their return in Brahmāstra: Part Two – Dev, the sequel to the trilogy, which is set to release in December 2026.
Brahmāstra has achieved significant recognition at the National Awards, marking a proud moment for Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. The film’s success reflects the dedication and creativity invested in it, and fans are excited to see what comes next for this dynamic couple.
