This resulted in several movies in Indian cinema being compared with Hollywood movies; it also helped the audience to have a better option in terms of VFX movies, animations, and CGI that were not available before. At the time of its release, the film was released with mixed reviews from both critics and audiences, but later, over time, it gained due credit, and today Ra One is considered one of the cult films of Indian cinema due to its VFX and storyline, which were way ahead of their time. Though Baahubali was a fictional movie, it was supported by heavy VFX and became one of the highest-grossing films of that year, which proves how the audience believes in good cinema.
