India, April 6 -- A fter the teaser of the upcoming Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Ramayana drew backlash online over its Visual Effects (VFX) quality upon release on Friday, actor Hrithik Roshan addressed the criticism directly. Sharing a detailed note on Instagram on Saturday, he urged audiences to better understand the nuances of visual effects before passing judgement. "Yes, bad VFX exists. It's sometimes so bad, it's painful to watch," Hrithik wrote, going on to praise filmmakers for pushing boundaries and embracing VFX in Indian cinema. He added, "Today some special humans among us, like the makers of films like Kalki 2898 AD (2024), the Baahubali franchise, Ramayana; also my dad [filmmaker Rakesh Roshan] for Koi... Mil Gaya (2003) and Krrish (2006) are my heroes. They have the guts and vision to do what's never been done, all for the love of cinema so that we, the audience, get to experience something never watched before." Shifting focus to audiences, Hrithik highlighted that VFX-heavy films require the effort of thousands of artists over several years, urging viewers to approach criticism with greater awareness. He added that filmmakers often adopt different visual styles to bring their stories to life. Drawing a parallel with comics and animation, he explained that some may prefer anime-inspired visuals over hyper-realistic ones, noting that neither approach is inherently wrong. Concluding his note, Hrithik said, "You can't criticise the maker just cause he has chosen one style while you prefer another style. That's not fair. So sometimes when you say 'bad VFX,' maybe it's just a style you didn't expect? So next time, don't just ask, 'Is it real?' First ask, 'Is it right for the story? Is it making me feel what the maker intended?' Debate it. But debate it with awareness (sic)." HTC...
