Generating fancy effects on a computer is expensive. It’s complicated.įirst, what are the expenses involved in producing effects for an average Hollywood blockbuster? Many.
So why can’t Indian films do the same? Is it money? Talent?Īlso in Opinion | Lesson from Adipurush: Cynical use of religion will backfire Even mainstream audiences are well aware of the director’s devotion to believable effects, and the lengths he goes to get them. “Will he actually blow up an atom bomb to capture the effect realistically?” Jokes like this have been zipping through the internet ever since the first trailer dropped last year, promising another extravagant affair that’s a far cry from Nolan’s humble beginnings with Following, Memento and Insomnia. Oppenheimer, like most recent Nolan movies, will thrum along nicely on action choreography, scintillating music and an exposition-heavy story, but it’s the delicately executed visual effects (VFX) that will sell the illusion and allow it to lift off. The magic of Barbie, for instance, if done well, will lie in its makeup, costumes and set design - along with a good story and performances, of course. There are innumerable cogs continuously rotating behind a film’s production to convincingly manufacture the dream you see projected through a dark theatre.

Squeal!) and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (Atom bomb! BOOM!) Hopefully, by the time you read this, churlish screenshots from Om Raut’s Adipurush - of a grave Prabhas wielding a cartoonish bow, of inexplicable fireworks exploding from the tip of his arrow, of rain and fire defying physics to engulf him in a halo of heroism - have safely subsided from your Twitter timeline.
