TV Shows With High-End VFX

TV has come a long way over the years. There have been some incredible highs that have almost literally gotten the whole world talking, as well as some abysmal lows populated with shows that are better left unmentioned.  VFX is used in serials in television to enhancing the look and feel of a particular scene and helps to create the scene more visually appealing.




As things have progressed, so too has the job of the visual effect artist, a job which has changed dramatically over the years. It’s always worth taking a minute to review what lead us to where we are today.

So, without further delay, let’s begin our tour of visual effects in popular television channels that have stolen our hearts.

VFX-driven TV shows have always been liked by the audience regardless of their age. After all, why would anyone not like the idea of escaping from the real world and watching something which is possible only in the reel world?



The trend of using visual effects in TV shows began with Ramanand Sagara’s superhit mythological show, Ramayan based on the life of Lord Rama.

Usage of  VFX was one of the biggest reasons that viewers were drawn to the show. Much has changed since then and the kind of VFX we get to see in today’s shows is way ahead of what we saw during our childhood.

What hasn’t changed is the fondness for VFX which infuses life and drama to these shows. Let’s take a look at some TV shows which are making the best use of VFX €

The story deals with Rudra, a boy who possesses supernatural powers but is unaware of them. A perfect blend of contemporary and period drama, the show features fight sequences with VFX adding a flavour to them.

The 35-member VFX team leaves no stone unturned in creating a fascinating make-believe world.

Razia Sultan: & TV show Razia Sultan is the story of Delhi’s first queen, Razia Sultan. Having a grand set in Gujarat’s Umargaon, the show’s  production team consists of 200 members.
