Movie Name: Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva (2022)
Prologue: The Brahmānsh and the Astras
The movie begins with a narration about the existence of the Brahmānsh, a secret society formed by sages thousands of years ago to protect Astras, powerful divine weapons that were created from different elements of nature—wind, water, fire, etc.
Among them, the most powerful was the Brahmāstra, capable of destroying the world.
The sages wielding these Astras swore to protect humanity, passing down their legacy through generations.
Introduction: Shiva's Life
In the present day, Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor) is a young orphan living in Mumbai.
He works as a DJ and has an unexplained connection with fire—it does not burn him.
Shiva has visions that he does not understand, particularly about a mysterious man, Scientist Mohan Bhargav (Shah Rukh Khan), who possesses an Astra.
During the festival of Dussehra, Shiva meets and falls in love with Isha (Alia Bhatt), a rich girl from London visiting India.
Their bond is immediate, and Shiva begins sharing his strange experiences with her.
The Attack on Mohan Bhargav
Meanwhile, Junoon (Mouni Roy), the powerful disciple of an evil force, Dev, leads a group of followers—Raftaar and Zor—to hunt down the Brahmānsh members protecting the Astras.
Their first target is Mohan Bhargav, a scientist and a former Brahmānsh member who possesses the Vānarāstra (Monkey Astra).
Junoon and her forces attack Mohan in his research lab. Despite his powers, Mohan is overpowered and captured.
Before his death, he sends a telepathic warning to Guru (Amitabh Bachchan), the leader of the Brahmānsh, and unknowingly connects with Shiva, triggering powerful visions in him.
Shiva's Visions and the Journey to Varanasi
Shiva sees the murder of Mohan Bhargav in his visions and realizes that another man is in danger—Artist Anish Shetty (Nagarjuna Akkineni), who possesses the Nandi Astra (Bull Astra).
Shiva and Isha set out to find Anish in Varanasi.
As they reach Anish's location, Junoon and her men also attack him.
Anish fights them using his Astra, but he is wounded.
He entrusts Shiva and Isha with an important mission—finding Guru and the Brahmānsh's secret Ashram in the Himalayas.
During their escape, Anish sacrifices himself, allowing Shiva and Isha to flee toward their next destination.
Reaching the Brahmānsh Ashram
Shiva and Isha reach Guru's Ashram, where they meet other Astra wielders.
Guru reveals the truth about Shiva: he is connected to fire because he himself is the Agnyastra (Fire Astra), the most powerful of all Astras.
However, Shiva's power is incomplete and needs to be awakened.
Guru also reveals that Junoon is trying to reunite the three broken pieces of the Brahmāstra, which will awaken Dev—the most dangerous warrior in history.
Training and Discovering the Truth
Under Guru's guidance, Shiva undergoes training to control his Astra.
He meets other warriors like Rani (Fire Astra user), Tenzing (Wind Astra user), and Sher (Animal Astra user).
During his training, Shiva has another vision that reveals a shocking truth—his father is Dev, the most powerful Astra wielder in history, who turned against the Brahmānsh.
Dev wanted to control the Brahmāstra, but was stopped by Shiva's mother, Amrita, a wielder of the Jalāstra (Water Astra).
She defeated Dev and sealed him away, but in the process, she perished, and the Brahmāstra was shattered into three pieces.
Shiva is heartbroken but determined to stop Junoon from resurrecting Dev.
Final Battle: Saving the World from Brahmāstra
Junoon successfully retrieves two pieces of the Brahmāstra and heads for the final piece, hidden inside the Brahmānsh Ashram.
A massive battle occurs between Guru's disciples and Junoon's forces.
Shiva, now partially in control of his Agnyāstra, fights Junoon.
However, she manages to assemble the Brahmāstra, causing an apocalyptic explosion.
At the last moment, Shiva awakens his full power, unlocking the true form of Agnyāstra.
He controls the fire and stops the Brahmāstra from destroying the world.
The explosion is neutralized, but Junoon dies in the process.
Ending: Dev Awakens
Though the immediate threat is averted, the movie ends with a shocking revelation—Dev, Shiva's father, is still alive and beginning to awaken.
His statue-like form cracks, signaling his return in the next chapter.
The post-credit scene hints at a war between Shiva and Dev in the upcoming sequels.
