No, we don't lag behind at all.
Have you seen Bombay Velvet?
Many outdoor shots in the film are complete VFX.
Here are some pictures worth observing.
Animation studio was Prana Studios.
The main shot of Bombay Velvet: The club around which the film revolves.
One last point: VFX doesn't always mean dinosaurs and robot and aliens. The main point of a film should be to make it realistic. That is the sole reason why a fantasy feel-good film like Forrest Gump feels so real.
Animation and VFX also serve another purpose.
To make things look convincing.
To put it simply most of the directors here lack imagination. We have MBA from IIM serving as the head of animation companies, not someone who has been a part of the game.
Wrong people at the wrong place controlling the right workforce.
Future: Our rich culture is a major advantage for our technicians as they provide fertile ground for imagination, which is essential in this field. If the government too takes an initiative and encourages local talent and content, we could easily turn ourselves into a global VFX and animation hub in the next 10 to 15 years.
