VFX breakdown of Talaash : Bollywood News

Her vision of Talaash was clear from day one

Talaashis a perfect example of vfx being employed to enhance the overall look of the film, the vfx of the film we accomplished is difficult to notice. Although the film is not a heavy visual effects film, it did have some complex vfx work. Director, Reema Kagti is a perfectionist like Aamir, her vision of Talaashwas clear from day one. She briefed us that whatever visual effects that would be executed, should seem photorealistic and credible. Since the genre of the film falls under the suspense/thriller bracket, we could not afford to make the visual effects look false at any given point of time.

That would only distract the audience from the plot. We started work on Talaash from January 2011, where we went through extensive meetings with the action team from London and Reema. The cars crashing scenes were crucial portions of the narrative of the film and Reema was against cannoning the cars into the sea. To augment this scene we planned the visual effects to support these one take sequences, pre-visualization and storyboards were made of the crashes, so the team could get a gist of the crashes even before they shot it. We delivered the entire VFX of the film in two months, where we have been planning this since 2011.
