Visual effects play a role of an integral ingredient in the process of movie making. It could be cutting edge science fiction or a simple romantic comedy VFX is used in all of them. A good VFX work creates the illusion as if the movie was shot in reality, but it’s simply the effort of VFX team that brings the film to life. Today we’ll talk about the top five Bollywood hits that may never have been made if VFX had not been involved.
Chennai
Express
SRK’s hit romantic comedy is a work of the Red Chillies
VFX team. It is easy to assume that the production was filled with outdoor
shoots with repeated sequences in trains, but the train never left the station.
That’s right! The movie was mostly shot indoors in a closed studio, after which
the VFX team took over to complete the shots. A train compartment was modelled
inside the studio & actors made to stand behind green screen until the take
was fine. Later VFX team took over to apply backgrounds & other effects.
Bhaag
Mikha Bhaag
It’s a biography of a sports star. The movie would
not have been possible without a dedicated VFX team. A lot of key scenes like
Farhan Akhtar receiving awards from the minister to the crowds in the stadium
were all due to the VFX team.
Wanted
Salman Khan is a super star but not a stunt man! His
action packed entertainer was heavily dependent on the visual effect team, be
it his stunts with the pistol or stadium filled with fans.
Om
Shanti Om
Good VFX can bring back the dead, literally! Om shanty
Om made headlines because of Deepika Padukone’s hit song. But this
visualisation would not have been possible without the Red Chillies VFX team. A
lot other, seemingly regular scene like the one where SRK saves Deepika from
fire was also created with the help of VFX.
Ready
This action movie looks another Salman flick. But the
production involved many that were created by future works, one of the leading
VXF companies in Bollywood.
Bollywood has come a long way in its utilisation of
visual effects. This makes it easy to shoot difficult scenes at a lower budget
& without putting anyone’s life at risk, be it the actors or the stunt man.
