Pls check this line

Thanks to VFX: this is how Khans of Bollywood would keep on ruling for the next 10 years or so: Dabang 10; Dhoom 11 and DDLJ 9.

Basically I am sharing an image and I want to write few lines with that image. The above mentioned line is one of them. These three words with numbers are name of movies. Is this grammatically correctly?
  

Top answer

The intended relationship of "Thanks to VFX" to the rest of the sentence is not very clear to me, and I'm not sure whether the colon after it is correct. If "Khans" means "group of people named Khan" then it should be "the Khans". It seems possible to me that "will" would be better than "would", but it is hard to be sure without more knowledge of what you are trying to convey.

It depends. What is the intended relationship of "Thanks to VFX" with the rest of the sentence? Do you mean to say that the 10-year rule of the Khans is thanks to VFX (i.e. is a result of VFX or due to VFX)?
