Many celebs attended the special screening of Brahmastra in Mumbai. Brahmastra released in theatres on September 9 and has had an impressive opening collection at the ticket windows. With collections in the range of ₹35-36 crore, the film has recorded Ranbir's highest opening day figure, beating the first day collection for Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju, which opened with ₹34.75 crore.

While the box office numbers are promising, the film has received mixed reviews from critics. The Hindustan Times review of the film read: “While the story of Brahmastra was never really meant to be simple, it's the magic of VFX (all made in India), treatment of the astras, and grandeur of everything surrounding the characters that make it a visual spectacle and truly a cinematic experience to be enjoyed on the big screen.”
