Dharmatic Entertainment proudly announced that their historical drama Ae Watan Mere Watan has clinched the Best VFX Film award at the prestigious VAM Summit & Awards. In a tweet, the studio wrote, "Victory tuned in for a story that brought qatra qatra of change! Congratulations to the team of #AeWatanMereWatan for winning the Best VFX Film at the VAM Summit & Awards." The win is a testament to the film’s striking visual storytelling, which brought 1940s India vividly to life.
Released in March 2024 on Amazon Prime Video, Ae Watan Mere Watan is a historical biographical film centered on the courageous life of Usha Mehta — a young freedom fighter who launched an underground radio station during the Quit India Movement in 1942. Her voice became a beacon of resistance, sparking unity among revolutionaries while drawing the relentless pursuit of British authorities.
The film, directed and co-written by Kannan Iyer and produced by Karan Johar under the Dharmatic banner, features Sara Ali Khan in one of her most intense roles to date. She is joined by Alexx O'Nell and Emraan Hashmi in a high-stakes tale that blends patriotism, suspense, and sacrifice. While the film received mixed reviews from critics, it was widely praised for its ambitious scope, art direction, and atmospheric visuals — all enhanced by the award-winning VFX.
With this latest recognition at the VAM Summit, Ae Watan Mere Watan adds another feather to its cap, cementing its place as a visual standout among recent historical dramas. It also highlights how stories of India's past, when told with heart and technical brilliance, can resonate far beyond their opening weekend.
