Vishwambhara Glimpse: Decent But Not enough

0

Everyone has been excited about Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara’s glimpse/Mega Blast since the makers announced it. The teaser is decent, but the question is, is it enough to create the hype among audiences? 

Directed by Vassishta Mallidi, the second glimpse of this fantasy entertainer was released a while ago as an advance gift for fans on the Megastar’s birthday.

Vishwambhara’s Mega Blast reveals a merciless villain instilling fear, making people pray for a hero. Chiranjeevi is shown in a big action scene. The CG work involving the shots of the scorpion and Chiru’s eye is good.

Mega Blast Glimpse – Vishwambhara

The team played it safe by releasing a dialogue teaser with minimal VFX shots, and the output is good. But for Vishwambhara, the main USP is the visuals and grandeur. People are eagerly waiting to see all the beautiful worlds the team has created which they still have not revealed.

MM Keeravani’s background music could have been better, and the voice-over dialogues by Ayyappa Sharma are also not clear. The fans will certainly enjoy the last shot of the glimpse.

Vishwambhara will release in theaters in Telugu, Hindi, and Tamil in Summer 2026.
