The hour long courtroom drama series which paved its way in the hearts of Indian audiences with its gripping story, Adaalat after a successful five year run is once again back on a grandeur scale. This can be observed in tonight’s ‘Fighter plane’ episode wherein heavy usage of visual effects will be observed. The biweekly series airs on Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 pm and has been produced by Contiloe Pictures wherein Ronit Roy reprises his character as KD Pathak from the previous season.
“This episode took nearly a month and a half which includes the pre production, production and post production stages. 500 VFX shots have been delivered for this hour long episode wherein the whole VFX portion takes about 10 to 12 minutes. Fighter jets targeting the enemy tanks/tanks, blowing each other up, happenings in the control room, mountains and terrains, all have been created via the medium of VFX and supervising this project were Contiloe’s VFX supervisor Bharat and Deepak SV,” boasts Contiloe Pictures, CEO, Abhimanyu Singh.
The whole episode was shot at Madh island, however the location showcased in the episode is the northern side of India. About 60 VFX personnel have put their efforts into this project for nearly a month. Few parts have also been outsourced as rendering this scale of VFX shots wasn’t possible at Contiloe’s VFX facility.
Not disclosing the budget, Singh asserts that it’s a high budget, never seen episode on the Indian television shows. Adaalat being a non mythological or fantasy show, it’s interesting to see that even normal shows like these have started incorporating VFX in a big way. Commenting on this Singh says, “VFX needs to integrate into storytelling to enhance the viewing experience. The amount of VFX work seen on Indian series is only increasing and is bound to surge at a much higher rate even when it comes to daily shows. As far as budget for a show is concerned, it’s not getting affected, but needs to be increased to meet the top notch quality. Take the case of this episode wherein fighter jets and blasts can be seen; shooting this in real life would have costed us millions and that’s how VFX leveraged the project and helped bring this storyline to life.”
Adaalat 2 is a one hour courtroom drama series which follows the life of city’s most famous defence advocate KD Pathak, who is known to have never lost a case. The one hour show unravels how the suave, sophisticated, witty and unconventional lawyer with an eye for details turns the table in his clients favour and wins them freedom. But what KD most importantly fights for is not his clients but true justice.
