As soon as the trailer of the much-awaited movie ‘Brahmastra’, starring newlyweds Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt among others was released, Twitter was flooded with people sharing their two cents on it.
While some compared Ayan Mukerji’s dream project with Marvel movies, others vouched they saw Shah Rukh Khan in the sci-fi movie.

But the VFX / editing and bgm they used in this movie was literally awesome . Giving Marvel movies vibes ❤️#Brahmastra pic.twitter.com/UHO1HY7Uta— 𝑹𝒂𝒉𝒖𝒍. (@DlpTweets__) June 15, 2022

Calling it the sasti copy of Marvel and DC movies, people spotted similarities between Mouni Roy’s dark character with Scarlet Witch. They even said that the scene with a man with Trishul looked like Aqua Man.

But despite all these crazy comparisons, there were scores of people who slammed these baseless likenesses between Marvel and Brahmastra. Here’s what they said:
Please don’t compare #Brahmastra to Cheap Marvel films where everything is predictable and taken from Indian Mythology. Hollywood, your father has arrived, please take notes and make better movies next time. pic.twitter.com/sGdn3o4vtR

Please have some shame before comparing Brahmastra with Marvel movies. At least Brahmastra seems to have some storyline.

Bramhastra: 300 croreStop being SO COOL & start appreciating the change in Indian cinema.

People are trying to project themselves as cool or a cinephile by bringing the marvel or dc references in #Brahmastra and in this process they are forgetting that we have our own mythology which has same characterisation and powers and way earlier than these comic books

Have watched Brahmastra's trailer for 20 times+ now and every single time I am blown away! What a beauty! Step aside if you are saying it's MARVEL lite and shit! Let's give our filmmakers a chance #BrahmastraTrailer #RanbirKapoor

some indian marvel fans are so pissed off over nothing 😭😭
I am a Marvel fan too but they are only coming off as trying to put down #BrahmastraTrailer to look cool. Their inferiority complex and internalized western supremacy is showing. #Brahmastra— Selena ✨❤️ (@aestheticaromaa) June 15, 2022

I think Mukerji has done a fantastic job. And that VFX is mind-blowing! What do you think?
