Review & Verdict
While Mirai’s story is grand and its technical execution (especially VFX and action) has impressed critics, it does have minor drawbacks. Some reviewers point out that portions of the first half lag slightly and that some characters could have been more fleshed out. Still, the film is being hailed as visually spectacular and emotionally resonant.
Overall Rating (Critic’s View – e.g., Taran Adarsh style): ~ 3.5 / 5
For fans of fantasy, scale, and strong action, Mirai is delivering what it promises.
Conclusion
Mirai’s Day 3 box office numbers reinforce what many predicted — this movie isn’t just a regional success, it’s on track to be a major box office hit. With ₹45.50 Cr in 3 days, breaking existing records and enjoying high occupancy, its second week will show whether it can maintain this momentum. So far, Mirai is proving to be one of 2025’s must-watch Telugu films.
