Jumping through points - reviewing Brahmastra

This review contains spoilers.  The lead pair wears white (mostly). The attackers wear black (always).  Heroes are glowing because how else would we have recognised who they are — the title of the film is not enough. T he female protagonist, Isha, isn't shown to have any life of her own as she goes to take the articles of the male protagonist, Shiva, as he trains in the mountains. The Himalayas is talked about as the next shopping arcade in Connaught Place and not a mountain range which spans from west to east. I mean it can't be bigger than the film right?  In being called a button or pataka, there is humour.   Such is their huge world, that the movie Brahmastra makes me feel stupid.  Even though the story is about astras, which are shown as some kind of objects, the vision of the storytellers was okay with treating humans as objects too (well apart from the big stars of the story - because they will have an arc as well as a voice). Maybe in a movie that lacks quality dialogue
