Hrithik Roshan on VFX Criticism in Films
Hrithik Roshan has recently shared his thoughts on the issue of poor visual effects (VFX) in films, a topic that resonates with many in the Indian film industry. Acknowledging that bad VFX can make a film painful to watch, he expressed this sentiment especially regarding projects he is a part of. His deep passion for filmmaking was ignited as a child when he first saw "Back to the Future" during a trip to London. This experience left a lasting impression on him, leading him to obsessively study the frames on his father's VHS player.
In a recent interaction, a fan raised an interesting question about how audiences can learn to appreciate the intent behind VFX rather than merely judging its realism. Hrithik responded thoughtfully, emphasizing the importance of understanding the artistic choices made in film production. He encouraged viewers to immerse themselves in the entire cinematic experience rather than focusing solely on technical details.
The discussion comes at a pivotal time as the Indian film industry prepares for the release of "Ramayana," directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film boasts a stellar cast, including Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and legendary composer Hans Zimmer collaborating with AR Rahman on the music score. Set to release worldwide in October 2026, just ahead of Diwali, expectations are high for this ambitious adaptation of the epic.
As the industry continues to innovate and embrace technology, Hrithik’s insights remind audiences of the importance of context and creativity in filmmaking. His perspective encourages viewers to engage with films more deeply, fostering a better understanding and appreciation of the art form. As "Ramayana" approaches its release, the excitement surrounding its visual storytelling and overall execution will be closely watched, especially in light of the ongoing discussions about VFX quality in contemporary cinema.
