This surely has to be on the main IGN channel. Pete explains everything beautifully too. Just pit it on the main. The world needs to see all this.

[@IGNIndia]

This video was made for IGN India, But obviously it can go on IGN Global, given the stature of the movie.

[@revanth84]

Totally agree!

[@srikarallena]

With strict budget, the output of this movie is good than some Over budget movie vfx.

[@IGNIndia]

Oh for sure Do check out some other videos on IGN India as well.

[@Dementidd]

A strict budget in the US is probably a big budget in India

[@ALAN-ALAN1997]

But Deadpool vfx is far better this high budget RRR

[@xanzuls]

@@ALAN-ALAN1997 Because the deadpool VFX got a higher percentage of the total budget than RRR. And it was mostly one studio (Blur) who did only 1200 shots, for RRR it was many big time studios doing 2800 shots with a much smaller percentage of the total budget. Huge difference.

[@xanzuls]

@@Dementidd Not all the studios who worked on RRR are Indian studios. There were studios from Us, Ukraine, Canada, Iran etc.

[@GlitchedBot]

Impressive how the VfX only acts as a compliment to the powerful story,screen play and acting skills.They understood the balance and drew a line without it overpowering any other aspects. If and when there is a sequel I hope it scales beyond expectations.

[@vibhutisrivastava2789]

This is the beauty of India which is also called 'Jugad'. Even with not so big budget RRR delivered a world class movie with stunning visuals.

[@abhi-_-]

I dont think 'jugad' is anything exclusive to India or Indians. It's in the mentality of most people from global south countries who have lived their lives on the bare minimum while ensuring a bright future for their kids. Global North or the collective West has been spoiled over decades to overspend on stuff bcuz of the way their economy and banking system work.

Ram vs bheem , completely new characters had more impact than batman vs superman somehow and they managed that within an hour of the movie. Whereas BvS even the non ultimate edition cersion took 2 hourse to poorly explain the reasons fir the fight. with so much back story for iconic characters like batman and superman it still felt clunky, confusing, rushed and just for the sake of it.
