Mirai Review

Mirai stands out with its ambitious attempt to blend Indian mythology with a modern superhero template. The storyline revolving around the search for the 9th scripture (Granth) offers a Ramayan-inspired twist, making the film unique compared to typical superhero dramas. 

Mirai follows the extraordinary tale of Ambika (Shriya Saran), a mother who sacrifices her life to protect humanity and safeguard the nine sacred scriptures that hold the power to transform mortals into deities. From her sacrifice is born Veda (Teja Sajja), destined to become the Super Yodha, a warrior chosen to savr the final and most powerful scripture the 9th Granth, Mirai. Standing against him is Mahavir Lama (Manoj Kumar Manchu), a ruthless asur who seeks the scripture to ascend as God. The film unfolds as a mythological superhero saga of sacrifice, destiny, and cosmic battle.

What Works

The scale is massive, with stunning visuals across the Himalayas, Varanasi, Hyderabad, Japan, Tibet, and Morocco, giving the film an international feel. Action sequences are choreographed with flair, and the mythological undertones provide a cultural depth that resonates with Indian audiences.

Teja Sajja power-packed performance in Mirai is the USP of the film. He effortlessly balances the intensity, emotion, and heroism in this fantasy adventure. His screen presence and action sequences make him a compelling super yodha. Director Karthik Gattamneni crafts a visually stunning spectacle, blending mythology with modern storytelling, while keeping the narrative engaging and larger-than-life.

What Doesn’t Work

While the film dares to be ambitious, the execution falters in parts. The screenplay sometimes feels stretched, with uneven pacing between the myth-lowkey dialogues and superhero action. Emotional beats don’t always land, and certain CGI portions fail to match the grandeur promised. The villain arc, though menacing, could have been more layered.

Technical Analysis

The cinematography is a major strength, capturing diverse landscapes beautifully. The VFX ranges from breathtaking to inconsistent, but the effort to create a larger-than-life superhero universe is commendable. The music and background score elevate key moments, though the editing could have been sharper to trim down the runtime.

Star Performances

Teja Sajja as Veda transforms into a compelling Super Yodha, balancing innocence with intensity. He carries the film’s weight on his shoulders.

Manoj Kumar Manchu as Mahavir Lama (Black Sword) delivers a striking performance as the ruthless asur bent on destroying mankind for the scripture.

Ritika Nayak as Vibha provides grace and emotional depth and is one of the most important character in the story. 

Shriya Saran as Ambika brings elegance to her divine role. Her sacrifice for the people will touch your heart, also the performance is magnetic on screen. 

The supporting cast including Tanjq Keller, Jagapathi Babu, Jayaram, Raghu Ram, Koushik Mahata, and Sriram Reddy add presence and give their valuable contribution to the storyline.

Conclusion

Mirai is a bold step in Telugu cinema’s superhero genre mythology meets Marvel-style spectacle. While not flawless, it’s a visual adventure that entertains and introduces audiences to a Ramayan-inspired superhero saga. Worth a watch for its scale and Teja Sajja’s committed performance, though it leaves room for sharper storytelling in a potential sequel.
