Expectations
What does the clip show?
The clip begins with a single drop of water descending on Isha's face as she stands close together with Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor) inside a fiery circle of sorts. Then, we see various avatars of Isha in relaxed and tense situations. As previous promotional clips have suggested, Isha will accompany Shiva in his quest to master the most powerful weapon (Brahmastra) in the universe.
Plot
Set in modern India, story based on Indian mythology
While the motion poster had revealed Shiva has mysterious powers that are drawn from fire, we don't yet know if Isha has any similar powers. Coming to the story, the first part will follow Shiva's journey of becoming the "divine hero of the universe." According to reports, the film will be set in modern India but based on Indian mythology.
Information
