PUNE: VFX studio, philmCGI, one of India’s leading animation and visual effects studios and a TPN Gold-certified company, has played a key role in shaping the visual world of Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge, delivering 1000+ seamless VFX shots. Known for its work on acclaimed titles including Jigra, CTRL, Qala, Stranger Things, Sacred Games, Pathaan, Kalki, Jubilee, and the Oscar-nominated Homebound, philmCGI continues to push the boundaries of story-first visual storytelling.
The studio’s creative excellence has translated into industry recognition, with philmCGI emerging as a significant winner across the 2026 awards season. It earned the Best VFX at the Zee Cine Awards 2026, Best Special Effects at the Screen Awards 2026, alongside recognition at the prestigious VAM Awards, further cementing its reputation as a leading force in cinematic visual effects. The studio’s work on Jubilee earned the Filmfare OTT Award for Best VFX (Series), while Delhi Safari won the National Award for Best Animated Film.
Across Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge, philm CGI worked in close collaboration with B62 Studio’s core creative team from concept through to final delivery, with a clear focus on ensuring that the visual effects remained invisible. Taking a story-first approach, the studio prioritised authenticity and continuity, moving away from spectacle-driven treatment to deliver subtle, believable integrations that support the narrative.
One standout example is the ‘Lyari Set’, where scale and texture were central to storytelling. The studio extended and enhanced the environment through detailed world-building, set augmentation, and refined compositing, creating a dense, lived-in setting that feels authentic on screen while remaining imperceptible to the viewer. Much of this work had to align precisely with live-action plates, requiring frame-level accuracy to ensure the environment felt grounded and cohesive.
As philmCGI continues to expand its creative and technological capabilities, the studio remains focused on crafting seamless, story-driven visual experiences that shape the future of cinematic storytelling across India and global markets.
