I thought you were miscast as the villain , and I slapped myself after seeing your terrific portrayal
Hey

I thought you might look too young to carry such large scale action and I was double wrong
The visuals, the background score, and screenplay structure is simply .
There are moments (especially the interval, the build-up, the devotional undertones) that felt supremely immersive.
In the middle of swords, spells, and supernatural threats, the film doesn’t fail to keep family, duty , love, and betrayal also in razor sharp focus.
Hey
@Karthik_Gatta
In totality, Mirai’s success is because it feels like a wonderful dream that you had . It is myth sprinkled in visual color mixed with heroism, and it achieves it’s ambition especially in it’s incredible narrative originality thanks to your grip on all the departments

, Inspite of not coming from a film family background , your individual passion fuelling such a project , going against all so called industry experts warnings , clearly prove that you believed in yourself , and not SAFETY thus proving FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
I strongly believe that a film team’s job is not just about profit ,but it’s also about creating life lasting memories. Some shots feel like hymns and the action felt like rituals.
Lastly I want to say , this is not a small film which tried to be big .. it is actually a very big film which din’t boast about itself , till the audience BOOSTED it .. CONGRATS ONCE AGAIN
RGV didn’t mention any Rs 400 crore budget Bollywood movie while taking a dig at the films made on a massive scale.
