Mirai X Review: Did Fusion Of Mythology And VFX In Teja Sajja Starrer Impress Moviegoers?

Hyderabad: Filmmaker Karthik Gattamneni's much-awaited Telugu action-adventure film Mirai has finally arrived in cinemas worldwide on September 12, 2025. Starring Teja Sajja, Manoj Manchu, Shriya Saran, and Ritika Nayak, the film blends mythology with modern storytelling and promises to deliver a big-screen experience packed with action, emotions, and cutting-edge VFX.

The film's story follows a fearless warrior tasked with protecting nine sacred scriptures that hold the power to turn mortals into deities. Produced by TG Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad under People Media Factory, Mirai is also being distributed in North India by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

What Moviegoers Are Saying

Netizens and filmgoers who caught the early shows of Mirai are pouring in their reactions online. Early reviews indicate that the movie has struck a chord, especially for its visuals, emotional depth, and mass-appeal action blocks.

Film critic Taran Adarsh called Mirai an "engrossing" experience. Taking to his X handle, he writes: "A visually spectacular entertainer that keeps you hooked for the most part… Special mention of the superb VFX and the emotional undercurrent… Definitely worth a watch!"

Adarsh praised director Karthik Gattamneni's vision, writing, "The fusion of mythology with present-day characters is a masterstroke." He highlighted several standout sequences like "the high-voltage interval block, the action set-piece at the beginning of the second half, and the outstanding finale."

On the performances, he noted: "#TejaSajja is terrific, carrying the film with sincerity, conviction, and infectious energy… #ManojManchu gets solid scope to shine and he delivers with impact."

Adarsh, however, pointed out some weak links: "The comedy portions in the first half look forced… Likewise, the entire cop track contributes nothing to the central story – it only adds to the run time." Despite these flaws, he summed it up as "a big-screen spectacle – yet another triumph for the Telugu film industry."

About the Film

Mirai brings together mass action with spiritual undertones. The narrative builds around a warrior's journey to protect nine sacred scriptures, a mission that pits Teja Sajja against Manoj Manchu in a battle of good versus evil. The film takes viewers into the Treta Yuga, with glimpses of Lord Ram making the experience even more impactful.

The trailer, which showed Teja Sajja's fall from a train, the giant eagle, and the looming shadow of Manchu Manoj, had already set expectations sky-high. The film now seems to have delivered on that promise with grand visuals and emotional intensity.

With its mythological base, stunning VFX, and powerful performances, Mirai is being hailed as not just another film but a theatrical spectacle. As one viewer put it, "Overall, paisa vasool."
