NDTV
Dunki emerged as the third-highest-grossing film of Shah Rukh Khan's career, amassing over Rs 470 crore worldwide
Red Chillies VFX recently unveiled a comprehensive visual effects breakdown reel for the film Dunki, featuring Shah Rukh Khan and directed by Rajkumar Hirani. This four-minute video gave a glimpse of the intricate visual effects that contributed to Dunki's immersive cinematic experience. Despite receiving mixed reviews, Dunki enjoyed significant box office success. The breakdown reel showed various iconic scenes from the film and focussed on the extensive visual effects work involved. The final sequence, where Taapsee Pannu's character reminisced about her youth while strolling through her village, necessitated meticulous VFX to achieve the illusion of a seamless camera movement.
Additionally, the scene depicting Vicky Kaushal's character engulfed in flames after a failed visa interview relied on computer-generated fire for enhancement. As the actors embark on their journey to London, many digitally-rendered environments enrich their cinematic odyssey. A few scenes involving vehicles were filmed against blue screen backdrops, with Red Chillies VFX crafting the surrounding landscapes.
