Funnily enough I (born and bred in the UK) remember seeing the
Mahabharata on TV. In particular, I do recall some segment where
somebody would fire an arrow, and it would be shown in-flight (by being
green-screen composited over a video of rushing background scenery), and
while in flight it would magically duplicate (clearly, by green-screen
flaps being withdrawn to reveal more arrows beneath), leading to a bunch
of neatly-aligned arrows flying along in parallel.

Is that the special effect you remember? :-)
