‘Mirai’ after Jai Hanuman, Its Jai Shree Ram. A true Indian on-screen spectacle that blends fiction with religion, mythology, tradition, super hero template, grand visuals, powerful action and time travel all in one in an enriching cinematic experience
Mirai Movie Synopsis
Beginning with the fag end of the great Kalinga War, Samrat Ashoka despite winning has lost and is constantly confronted by his guilt. In his quest for redemption, Ashoka decides to creates nine sacred texts and distributes it over nine places. The ‘granths’ (sacred texts) carry great source of power and wisdom. Generations after generations, these granthas are protected by great warriors. One day an evil super warrior Mahabir Lama (Manoj Manchu) gets obsessed with his strengths and decides to gain control of all the nine granthas and become the almighty.
But there is a savior in Vedha (Teja Sajja) – son of Ambika (Shriya Saran) a divine lady and an epitome of love and sacrifice who can see future and on Rishi (Jayaram) instructions abandons her only son.
Years later, Vibha (Ritika Nayak) a saint embarks on a journey to find Vedha and remind him of his legacy and convince him to perform his duty.
Well-crafted and stunningly shot, ‘Mirai’ is everything you look in a grand epic spectacle or a period costume drama, a mythological, or a super hero flick. Tight engaging screenplay, packed with action, entertainment and mythology, followed by unexpected surprises linked with Hinduism. The VFX at places is extraordinary but at a couple of places a bit tacky. Director Karthik delivers a true Indian spectacle.

Mirai movie review - final words
A movie like ‘Mirai’ is our answer to the Spider Man, Avengers, etc of the west. The difference is – they have in their mind; we have in our hearts from generations after generations. Our ancient mythological stories, the avatars of our gods – Rama, Krishna which is now part of our history. A plot that connects all this and adds technical finesse and visual grandeur and makes a cinema suited for big screen only then why would anyone not flock into the nearest theatre.
‘Mirai’ is a perfect example of a grand big screen experience.
Humble request – don’t start leaving the theatre when the post credits start rolling – there is a SURPRISE.
Going with a deserving four stars out of five – 4/5
Produced by People Media Factory ‘Mirai’ is releasing all over in eight languages - Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, and Chinese. On September 12, 2025.
