Mirai

In this Paisa Vasool episode, Sravan and Tarun unpack Teja Sajja’s latest fantasy–adventure Mirai. We cover the film’s ambitious world-building, the mythological elements, Manchu Manoj’s loud and eccentric villain performance, the uneven comedy track, the VFX quality, and how Mirai compares to Hanu-Man. We also talk about why the OTT response was so different from theatres, whether the film justifies the beginning of a cinematic universe, and what the Rana post-credit scene might mean. If you’ve watched Mirai, let us know your thoughts — did the fantasy–superhero formula work for you?
