Aladin scores high on VFX!
November 3rd, 2009 - 7:37 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
The story of ALADIN is legendary and the characters of Genie and Jasmine known worldwide. This is why it requires courage for a film maker to set the film in contemporary times and come up with his own take on their relationship.
Film maker Sujoy Ghosh does exactly that as he gets his imagination go wild and spins a tale that ends up relating the past, present and future of these characters.
And while Eros International’s ‘Aladin’ has already worked its charm with the younger audiences, what stands apart for the film is the VFX and special effects that have been receiving rave responses from critics and audiences alike.
Most of the film is shot against a green wall which makes ALADIN quite heavy on VFX and special effects.
Created by EyeQube Studios, the visuals belong to never-seen-before kinds, with a whole new imaginary world of ‘Khwaish’ being created that gives a beautiful visual appeal to the film.
Looking at some of the funnier moments, kids were left in splits when a donkey’s head replaces that of Riteish’s, his guitar turns into a frog and he is thrown in air either after being turned into a balloon or due to electrocution.
The second half of the film is also replete with stunning effects when action and thrills take centre stage and the best of VFX is unveiled.
With its superior VFX and impressive visual effects, looks like “Aladin’ has set new benchmarks in Bollywood!
