For me, Brahmāstra was truly a very magical and inspiring experience. I still can't believe that an Indian movie pulled off a concept of this scale with such spectacular VFX. Thank you Ayan, Ranbir and the entire team of DNEG and ReDefine for all your dedication and hard work. Can't wait for what's in store for Part Two🔥

[@nikhil98157]

This will definitely help ranbir for ramayan❤ he got experience to act with wfx. Cant wait for ramayan

[@thethreespikes9737]

Yeah Im waiting for it eagerly since 4 years. I know why Namit is investing in RK. He is going to become the biggest brand of Indian cinema if they pulls of Ramayan. I was really disappointed with the Brahmastra movie. But I loved the VFX. And I understood. Ayan was vet childish with story and dialogues but Brahmastra definitely had the worldclass VFX

[@therandomreacher]

I entered the theatre with a lot of expectations. First few VFX shots were really impressive. Storyline was dragged since the beginning. Songs, music, background music were fantastic. Then it hit me that whole movie had one of the best visual effects & CGI in the Indian cinema till date.

[@thethreespikes9737]

I hope Ranbir and Nitish pulls of Ramayana with Namit and DNeg.

[@sumo6199]

I hope part 2 will have much bigger and better effects. I wish the fire simulations are bit more smooth and clean, the mystical cosmic colours look good though. And thank you DNEG for giving us such an visual treat.

[@RajSingh-xn8qd]

The best VFX work in an Indian movie, but not even close to the top 30 in Hollywood. I think you went over board with the energy effects and the colour saturation. The scene where SRK is kneeling and ready to jump surrounded by the golden energy all around him was too saturated and you can see the edges of the simulated golden energy. The climax scene when the Brahmastra is activated and the energy comes down from the universe is also too saturated. This should have been the money shot of the movie.

[@YuviiYT]

Because those top 30 movies is having min. To min. 60-70 million dollars budget but this have 45 only

[@RajSingh-xn8qd]

@@YuviiYT Yes I know, but its still an excuse for the fact that our movies VFX are nowhere close to Hollywood. Our budgets will need to get to at least 700-800 crore, most of it spent on VFX before we get any where close.

[@YuviiYT]

​@@RajSingh-xn8qd yup But the prices of the tickets would also get higher than, it would be almost an average 600-700 rs per person

[@RajSingh-xn8qd]

@@YuviiYT yes, in fact two things need to happen before budgets like theses become less risky. 1. The price of the average ticket will need to increase (this will happen when GDP per capita increases) 2. The number of screens need to double or triple. It's all economics and will get better as Indian economy grows in next few decades by at least 2030. That does not mean we won't see 700-800 crore movies being made. We definitely will but they will be very risky for producers.

[@shubhradipdas7189]

Have you seen the recent mcu movies.they all have craapy vfx.

[@AakashKale27]

The problem here isnt with the VFX team but the production team. They didnt know how to light the scene and left everything to do in post. Everything could've been 10x better only if the right lighting would've been done during the shooting sequence

[@screencut67]

Some idiots with zero knowledge about vfx they trolled this movie and called it a light show.....

[@Mionwang]

damn, i had no idea that DNEG did the VFX for this movie. Just goes to show that even DNEG can't fix awful acting and script lol.

[@RajSingh-xn8qd]

After seeing Adipurush trailer, I am appreciating DNEGs work more. Everything is off in Adipurush, the lighting, animation, 3D modeling. Literally nothing is working. It is as if a group of first time artists just graduated from high school have made it. Terrible work.

[@RR-og3xi]

Doing this kind of VFX which not related to the subject movment is simple and easy, not a good VFX i would say movies like RRR Robot 2.0 these movies had good VFX but were also not excellent.

[@YuviiYT]

I know it's more hard to make the Cgi Things look realistic rather than a cosmic energy its easy to make cosmic energy in a scene because of no comparison can be made but still its always bout the final product rrr has done the realistic visual but there are some shots which looks fake but in this there are no shots that looked fake ( I know because they had an advantage of no realism ) but as I said its always about the final product

[@theHollowGabimaru]

lol. 2.0 had the worst vfx regarding the budget.😂 RRR's vfx was also mid. There were many shots where vfx was clearly visible in RRR.

[@theHollowGabimaru]

budget of 2.0 was more than twice of what brahmastra 1 had😂

[@devshare5011]

Bruh 😂😂 2.0 seriously 2.0 film had worst vfx And rrr film vfx are mid level because it is clearly visible where they have used cg

[@dexter27ll6]

2.0 has some scenes where the VFX looks worser than the first movie RRR had some cgi shots that looked very unrealistic I mean RRR mostly had background replacement work

Those Fire effects are too much Cartoony😂, it doesn't look realistic. I should say this vfx company gives all they got, worked Hard on those VFX scenes but most disappointment was the Directors work. Every scene is too much Artificial Emotions it doesn't look Natural at all. Without emotions every VFX shots looks blank. Best Example was Rajamouli, Some scenes have VFX looks not that Great but we Feel weight on every scene. That's why His films are Global phenomena.

[@abhisekgupta1543]

Bro there is difference in the genre...This is supposed to be a super natural film, the powers are supposed to look loke superpowers and not like fire... also RRR didn't work because of the VFX...it worked because if the over the top action and storyline... western people aren't accustomed to seeing physics defying action sequence alot so why they got RRR, topped with masala songs...they went crazy... for us Indians who keep on seeing such mindless actions in every other movie...RRR was a good movie and not the best to come out of India... they won the Oscar for the song and not the movie...also you know the song was average and we got better songs here...but again...american....

Because it's supposed to be a super power The fire looks different and realistic,Most of SS Rajamouli's movie only uses VFX mostly for Creatures and background replacement
