The scene's grandeur was achieved through a mix of practical stunts and groundbreaking visual effects (VFX) for the time.

One of the biggest criticisms of the original release was that the fast editing (by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao) made it hard to follow the "100 versus 1" logic. In 4K, with higher frame-rate smoothing (or native 24fps clarity), you can finally track the geometry of the fight.
