After Hanu-Man, Teja Sajja returns with Mirai, a grand fantasy adventure directed by Karthik Gattamneni. With stunning visuals, mythological elements, and racy action, the film arrives with huge expectations.

Story:

Centuries after Emperor Ashoka entrusted nine sacred books holding the secret of immortality to guardians, ruthless Mahabir Lama (Manchu Manoj) seeks them to gain ultimate power. Protector Ambica (Shriya Saran) ties the destiny of Vedha (Teja Sajja), a carefree orphan, to the books. How Vedha faces Mahabir, the mystery of Vibha (Ritika Nayak), and the true meaning of Mirai form the crux of this myth-meets-modern adventure.

Highlights:

• Teja Sajja impresses in dual shades, delivering a career-best act.
• Manchu Manoj is menacing as Mahabir, while Shriya Saran adds emotional depth.
• Key moments like Vedha’s reveal, the pre-interval block, the train fight, and the Siddha Kshetram battle stand out.
• Mythological touches—Lord Rama’s appearance and the Sampati bird—add grandeur.
• Gowra Hari’s score, polished VFX, and rich visuals enhance the spectacle.

Drawbacks:

• Predictable first half, underused Ritika Nayak, misplaced comedy, and a weak climax.

Verdict:

• Mirai stylishly fuses mythology with fantasy. Strong performances, visuals, and action outweigh its minor flaws, making it a grand theatrical watch.
