Mumbai – The upcoming action-packed film War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr, is set to make history as the first Indian movie to release in Dolby Cinema in India.
This marks a significant milestone in Indian cinema, offering audiences an enhanced and immersive viewing experience. The film will be released in both Hindi and Telugu languages at Dolby Cinema locations across the globe, including North America, the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and more.
A collaboration between Yash Raj Films (YRF) and Dolby Laboratories, War 2 brings a new era of filmmaking to Indian screens. With ultra-vivid visuals powered by Dolby Vision and immersive sound through Dolby Atmos, the film promises to capture the filmmakers’ vision in its most powerful and authentic form.
Rohan Malhotra, Vice President of Distribution at YRF, said,
“YRF has always aimed to push creative and technological boundaries to offer our audiences the best cinematic experiences. From adopting Dolby Audio in the ’90s to pioneering Dolby Atmos in our blockbusters, and now leading with Dolby Cinema, we’re committed to storytelling that fully immerses viewers. With War 2, every scene will be more vivid, every sound more immersive, and the entire theatre experience unforgettable.”
Indian audiences can watch War 2 in Dolby Cinema at City Pride Multiplexes, Kharadi, Pune – the first Dolby Cinema in India, which opened earlier this month. More screens are planned to open soon in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Trichy, Kochi, and Ulikkal.
Michael Archer, Vice President of Worldwide Cinema Sales and Partner Management at Dolby Laboratories, added,
“Our partnership with YRF spans decades, and we’re proud to reach this new milestone with War 2. Releasing in Dolby Cinema across India and globally on August 14, 2025, this is a transformative moment for Indian cinema. Dolby Cinema offers stunning Dolby Vision visuals and Dolby Atmos sound in an environment that brings stories to life like never before.”
In 2020, YRF also became the first Indian music label to launch a Dolby Atmos Music experience through its Best of YRF album.
War 2 is slated for a theatrical release on August 14, 2025.
