Yash Raj Films (YRF) and Dolby Laboratories, have announced that War 2 (Hindi & Telugu) will be the only Indian movie releasing across Dolby Cinema screens in many countries on August 14th.
War 2 will also be the first Indian movie to release at Dolby Cinema in India. In addition, the movie has planned it’s release in Hindi and in Telugu, at Dolby Cinema sites in North America, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and many other markets across the globe.
Releasing on August 14, War 2 ushers in a new era in India’s filmmaking with the subtle details and ultra vivid colors of Dolby Vision and the lifelike and immersive sound of Dolby Atmos.
Moviegoers in India can experience this high-octane action spectacle the way the filmmakers intended at India’s first Dolby Cinema opened earlier this month at City Pride Multiplexes, Kharadi, Pune. More such Dolby Cinema screens across India, including in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Trichy, Kochi, and Ulikkal, will be opened soon.
Dolby Cinema is designed to transform your viewing experience. Inside Dolby Cinema, you’ll find dynamic lighting, premium seats with unobstructed sight lines, a room that is carefully designed to minimize distractions, and a curved wall-to-wall-to-ceiling screen.
In 2020, YRF became the first music label in India to offer a Dolby Atmos Music experience through a catalogue of hit music tracks under the album ‘Best of YRF’. YRF’s DHOOM:3 in 2013 was among the earliest Hindi movies to be released in Dolby Atmos, delivering breathtaking audio realism, while, back in 1995, YRF’s Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, was among the first few Indian movies to release in Dolby Audio. Countless movie titles and music tracks from YRF have released in Dolby, at cinemas and across streaming services.
Michael Archer, Vice President of Worldwide Cinema Sales and Partner Management, Dolby Laboratories said, “Our collaboration with Yash Raj Films spans over decades with many milestones. We’re proud to take that legacy forward with War 2 (Hindi & Telugu) that will be available at Dolby Cinema in India and internationally from August 14th. It is also the first Indian movie to debut at Dolby Cinema in India. Dolby Cinema delivers an unmatched moviegoing experience with stunning visuals in Dolby Vision and immersive sound of Dolby Atmos, all in an environment built to make audiences feel the full power of storytelling. This is a landmark moment not just for our collaboration, but for how cinema will now be experienced in India.”
“YRF has always believed in pushing boundaries to deliver the most enriching cinematic experiences to its audiences. From embracing Dolby Audio in the 90s to pioneering Dolby Atmos in our blockbusters – and now, leading the way with Dolby Cinema, we remain committed to storytelling that doesn’t just entertain, but transports you into the story. With War 2, we’re excited to bring audiences into a new era of movie experience, one where every scene is more vivid in Dolby Vision, every sound more immersive with Dolby Atmos, and the theatrical experience more unforgettable than ever before at Dolby Cinema.” said Rohan Malhotra, Vice President- Distribution, Yash Raj Films.
