After facing criticism and trolling for the dialogues in Part 1: Shiva of Brahmastra, Ayan Mukerji has promised “better dialogues” in Part 2: Dev. Many Brahmastra watchers commented on social media that the speech in the mythical movie, which was in both Hindi and English, seemed uncomfortable. Others poked fun of Alia Bhatt’s character Isha for repeatedly using Shiva’s name throughout the movie.
In the second half of the movie, Ayan Mukerji aims to provide fans better dialogue. He has graciously accepted the criticism. The remark was made when he discussed the three-year interval between the first and second instalments of his intended trilogy.

He spoke with Sony Music India, “Take a look at Baahubali; two years go so quickly. Since our nation is so vast, I estimate that it will take everyone six months to see Brahmastra alone. If we could have given you Brahmastra 2 the following year, it would have been incredible. It would have been fantastic for me, and I would have enjoyed it.”
Added Ayan, “However, it was extremely difficult to manufacture Brahmastra 1 in India; it is a truly “Made In India” product. It is now a very very significant struggle to even get Part 2 done in 2-3 years. It is a very, very significant challenge to make it at the same level with better dialogues (laughter) and more exciting storyline.”
In a previous press conference, Ayan had stated that because the lead characters Shiva and Isha are “modern contemporary characters,” he and dialogue writer Hussain Dalal, who also co-wrote the dialogue for his most recent movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, had written these kinds of lines for Brahmastra. While Alia plays his girlfriend Isha, Ranbir Kapoor portrays Shiva, a DJ.
Ayan further admitted that since it is a personal practice of his, it was he who forced Alia’s Isha to repeat Shiva’s name. He said to NDTV, “It’s been a habit of mine to frequently use people’s names when I speak. That was therefore kept in the script and included in the movie as well.”
