Summary – Brahmāstra’s ₹300 crore budget sparks memes, conspiracy theories, and space agency confusion — real headline, 200% drama.,
Article –
In a galaxy not so far away, the Bollywood blockbuster ‘Brahmāstra’ recently unveiled its insanely cosmic budget details, leaving accountants, astronauts, and fans orbiting in disbelief. Rumor has it the figures are so astronomical, NASA sent an inquiry, thinking it was a classified missile budget.
The Real Scoop (Seriously)
‘Brahmāstra,’ starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions with a budget that could fund a small moon colony, reportedly pushing ₹300 crores. Yes, that’s ₹300 crores — or as some insiders whisper, enough to buy Mumbai’s entire chai supply twice over. An anonymous beans-counter (probably someone’s great aunt) divulged that each visual effect reportedly costs more than a Bollywood wedding.
Internet Meltdown & Meme-Quake
The news sent social media into a meltdown stronger than a hot cup of chai in Mumbai summer. Memes exploded like fireworks on Diwali, with fan-made requests such as #GiveMyWalletBack trending wildly. One viral meme showed Ranbir Kapoor balancing the budget sheet on his finger, captioned “Talent isn’t the only thing he’s juggling.”
Conspiracy Corner
While the producers insist the figures are justified by the film’s visual effects and star-studded cast, conspiracy theorists speculate the budget is a clever ploy to buy new coffee machines for the studio. “This is clearly to cover the unprecedented caffeine consumption for all-night editing,” whispered a lighting assistant’s cousin’s barber. A shadowy group called ‘Accountants for Astronomical Figures’ (AAF) has also launched a petition demanding a transparent breakdown, citing the mysterious ‘miscellaneous expenses’ line in the budget which allegedly includes holographic pop-up ads.
If Producers Went Full Banana
Imagine if the producers took the budget literally and bought actual astras (weapons), or even better, turned the movie set into a space station. Rumor has it that during a test shoot, Ranbir Kapoor tried to use an actual monkey as his stunt double, causing a minor chaos before the monkey union demanded hazard pay. Speculation aside, industry insiders joke that next ‘Brahmāstra’ sequels might need an Intergalactic Film Certification.
Roll Credits… Or Do They?
While the film aims to conquer the box office and maybe the outer space market, one can’t help but wonder if the credits will include a special thanks to the Indian Space Research Organisation. Meanwhile, fans eagerly await what techno-magical surprises this astronomical budget will translate to on the silver screen.
