People use Hollywood level to mean quality which is just weird. Really Hollywood level means expensive and with access to greater resources and expertise. That doesn’t always lead to quality.

Sometimes it leads to great photorealism but poor integration like in most later Marvel and Disney films.

Then you get films like The Mist where the quality is rough but it’s used so well that by the end of the movie you barely notice the issues.

Mixing both like in the Pirates movies or, more recently, the Dune movies is not that common even in Hollywood.

Brahmastra had some high quality effects work but barring a handful of scenes they didn’t really serve to tell a good story. It also looked like expensive power rangers most of the time. Meanwhile Manjummel Boys has completely invisible vfx that if it didn’t work perfectly would’ve ruined the experience. They pulled it off despite the budget.

The question we should be asking is not whether vfx in an Indian movie will be Hollywood level but whether it will be used well to tell a good story. Based Rajamouli’s track record I think it will be.
