Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A VFX team reviewed the popular Indian show Nazar and found its visual effects severely lacking. While Bollywood has been increasingly prominent since Salaam Bombay won an Oscar in 1988, the success has not translated to improved VFX across all Indian language shows and movies. The popular show Nazar ran from 2018 to 2020 and featured numerous stunts and effects, as most of its characters had superhuman abilities.
The clip features a woman, Mohana, throwing a toddler off of a cliff with her ponytail, before a man jumps to save the child. His companion, another warrior, elects to remain behind to fight and eventually traps Mohana inside a nearby tree. Throughout the fight, the Corridor Crew cite various elements of the poorly-constructed VFX, while laughing about the final results.
When the child is thrown from the cliff, they cite a few different technical elements that went into his fall. Mesh distortion and jpegs are two major tools, while black-and-white freeze frames help to reveal the father's reaction. They also state that the actors make impossible jumps with the help of wires, but it never improves their opinions of the effects.
