Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, and Mouni Roy in principal roles, Dharma Productions’ Brahmastra is one of the hugely awaited films of Bollywood. The film has been in production for the longest time. It has already missed its theatrical release several times in the past. But with theatres in India finally reopening, fans hope that the makers of Brahmastra will soon announce the official release date of the film.
According to reports, producer Karan Johar, Disney India, and the team of Brahmastra have already decided on a release date for the mega-budgeted fantasy adventure drama. The makers are targeting September 9, 2022, as the new release date for the film. An official announcement is highly awaited though.
The above-mentioned date coincides with Ganesh Chaturthi which is a major holiday in Maharashtra. The makers want to cash on this holiday to maximize the earnings.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, Brahmastra has faced delays because of the heavy VFX work. Fresh reports suggest that the makers are finally satisfied with the final outcome of the film. If all goes well, the film will get a solo release on September 9, 2022.
Since Brahmastra has been produced on a lavish budget, Karan Johar's studio partner Disney will be pulling out all the stops to ensure it gets a wide release not only in India but in important international markets also.

So what is Holy Curse all about?
Imagine this: 11-year-old Radha, in India, suddenly caught in the crosshairs of figuring out their own gender identity. Do they get support? Nope. The family is convinced this is some kind of generational curse and drags Radha through a parade of super-traditional rituals to “fix” things. Sure, it is heavy; there is no arguing there.
But the movie does not just wallow in misery. Out of nowhere, you will get these unexpected bursts of humour or those painfully real, awkward moments of affection. It is honestly kind of a wild trip, watching family expectations crash up against the urge to just be yourself.
Well, she has always had a thing for raising up voices that usually do not get a spotlight, right? This film screams that. She even said she is “incredibly proud” to back a story with this much guts and heart. It is way more than just a fancy title for her; she genuinely wants to put this story on the world stage.

And about that Oscar buzz?
Getting qualified is huge for a film like this. It is not a nomination (yet), but now it officially has a shot. Everything really kicked off after it bagged Best Short Film at the Tasveer Film Festival, and honestly, that was just the opening act. Throw in a Grand Jury Prize in LA and a Jury Prize in Chicago, and now this thing is riding a full-on tailwind. With Singh leading the charge, Holy Curse is gunning for the 2026 Oscars. It would not shock us one bit if it actually takes the crown.
