Mirai: Super Yodha Review – Teja Sajja’s Big Superhero Gamble After HanuMan

When HanuMan turned into a blockbuster and won hearts across India, all eyes were on what Teja Sajja would do next. His answer is here: Mirai: Super Yodha. A high-energy mix of mythology, global adventure, and superhero action, the film arrives with sky-high expectations. But the big question is—does it beat HanuMan, or at least match its magic?

Spoiler alert: it comes close, and in some ways, it goes even bigger.

The Story: A Race for Sacred Power

The plot of Mirai: Super Yodha is classic yet gripping. A regular young man realizes he’s the “Chosen One” destined to save humanity. The villain (played menacingly by Manchu Manoj) is after nine sacred scriptures (nau granth) that hold unimaginable power. If united, they can unleash destruction on a global scale.

The hero’s journey takes us across continents—from the calm temples of Japan to the buzzing bazaars of Morocco—in a globe-spanning adventure rarely seen in Indian cinema.

An Indian Superhero Done Right

One of the film’s biggest strengths is how it roots its superhero story in Indian mythology. Unlike the copy-paste feel of some past attempts (remember Brahmastra?), Mirai feels proudly desi while still being global in scale.

It builds on what worked in HanuMan—mixing faith, folklore, and modern action—but polishes it into something more balanced and consistently engaging.

Visuals and Action: A Big Upgrade

If HanuMan impressed you, Mirai will blow you away in terms of scale:

• Massive Sets: Richly detailed, sometimes slightly artificial, but always grand.

• Action Scenes: Crisp, clean, and thrilling. The sword fights and weapon battles are a treat.

• VFX & Cinematography: Smoother and more immersive, with creatures and epic landscapes that don’t feel cheap.
  

Special shoutout: Teja Sajja is more confident than ever, and Manchu Manoj makes for a worthy, powerful villain.

Music That Elevates the Story

The background score is fire! The epic “Rudhiram Magadham” track especially will give you goosebumps in theatres. Unlike HanuMan, where many felt only the climax delivered a big emotional punch, Mirai keeps the tempo steady and engaging throughout its nearly three-hour runtime.

Final Verdict: Watch It in Theatres

Mirai: Super Yodha is not just another superhero film—it’s a statement that India can build its own superhero universe rooted in mythology and still compete with Hollywood-style scale.

✅ Bigger action✅ Consistent storytelling✅ Stunning visuals & music

It may not hit the exact emotional peak of HanuMan, but it’s a full-meal entertainer that deserves your time and ticket money.

👉 Just one tip: skip the trailer before watching. It gives away too much.
