Before the release of the movie, the trailer launch was a big success. The people were influenced by the songs, cinematography, and cast of the movie. The film's official release date was September 9th, 2022. The trailer was fanatically awesome, and the audience was really excited about watching the movie.

The Idea of the Movie
The movie was planned and ideated by Ayan Mukerji himself. Ayan planned the idea in 2011. He was inspired by Indian history and then planned to make a film on the historical concept. It followed a sequence of release dates as it was earlier planned to release the movie in 2016, but Karan Johar officially announced the release in 2017 under the name of Dragon.
After that, the name "Brahmastra" was decided, and two sequels to the movie were to be made. The film was shot at various international as well as domestic destinations such as New York City, London, Edinburgh, Mumbai, and Varanasi. The multiple-shot locations and cinematography cost the film around 410 crores, or 51 million dollars, which is quite a high cost and made it fall into the category of most expensive Hindi films.
The Release of the Movie
The movie was finally released on September 9th, 2022, after multiple postponements due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The film was released under various visualizations such as 3D, IMAX 3D, and 4DX 3D by 20th Century Star Studios, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, and Star Studios India.
The team's handling of the dialogue and visual effects received a lot of flak for the movie. Despite the negative reviews, the movie still made 425 crores ($53 million) and was the highest-grossing Hindi movie of 2022, and two sequels to the movie are still being developed.
Facts About the Movie and History
1. The meaning of Brahmastra is Lord Brahma's Astra, meaning Weapon. Bramhastra is said to be the deadliest weapon of all time. No energy or weapon can counter the strength and power of Brahmastra. The weapon is respectfully equated to the most powerful atomic weapons such as nuclear bombs.
2. The only thing that can counterattack Brahmastra is the Bramhastra or Brahmanda Astra. This is depicted in Mahabharata when Karna released a Bramhastra, Arjuna released the equal Brahmastra weapon and when both of them collided, there was a blunt catastrophe. The shot of this weapon is totally accurate to the target enemy.
3. History says, the weapon was made to uphold Dharma and Satya, for the purpose of destroying the enemy. Few people in the Mahabharata had the ability to summon a Bramhastra weapon, including Parasurama, Bhishma, Drona, Ashwatthama, Arjuna, Yudhishtir, and Vikarna.
4. The place where the weapon was relieved faced a lot of damage, to land, to people, and to the whole area. The rainfall also decreased to a greater extent and the land became drought.
5. In Ramayana, the weapon was used by Lord Ram several times. Lastly, it was used by Lord Ram in the battle with Ravana. Lord Ram also used this weapon against Jayanta and Mareecha.
6. It is also proclaimed in Vedas, that Bramhastra was also used by Lord Ram to make a way out of the sea so that the apes could travel towards Lanka to destroy it completely. It is said that Rajasthan’s barren land was formed after it was attacked by Bramhastra weapons.
7. The other important trait of Brahmastra is that it is capable enough of killing the Devas, in the Mahabharata, the Ashwatthama and Arjun were claimed to use it against each other. The weapon used was the Brahmashirsha Astra, which is made from Brahmastra but is 4 times stronger than the Brahmastra weapon.

8. Lastly, the explosion caused by Brahmastra was so huge that fire blazed up everywhere in the surrounding area. The entire land was overwhelmed with noise and flames of fire were spread everywhere. All of the relief features became destructed and nothing will be able to grow on the barren land for about 15 years.
These are some of the after-effects and facts of the Bramhastra related to the movie. While there are many others, we had the most crucial ones. I hope it was an interesting and informative one apart from the movie.
