Mirai movie: Online reviews
With a reported budget of Rs 60 crore, netizens have lauded the visual effects, background music, and overall cinematic universe. Rating the film an overall 4 stars out of 5, online reviews praise the cast for their performance.
On the other hand, audiences couldn’t help but notice the similarity between Sajja’s HanuMan. “Mirai is not upto the mark, it’s an average movie, not at all interesting. Same to same Hanuman movie concept, but didn’t execute like Hanuman,” read a review on X (formerly Twitter).
With the Hindi release executed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, netizens have praised the “superhero villain ark, awesome action pieces,” and more. With Manchu Manoj’s presence being a key highlight for fans, the plot has gotten mixed feedback, as some find it slow, while others find it invigorating too. The Internet also calls Teja Sajja’s performance overdone; others opined that his energy was a major driving force for Mirai.
