Avengers: Infinity War’s Hindi dubbed version will re-release in India on October 2. Avengers: Infinity War’s Hindi dubbed version will re-release in India on October 2. Disney is releasing Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War again in Indian theaters, albeit only in Hindi. This is a previously unheard of a decision as it has been only a few months since the film was playing on screens around the country. Usually, a film is re-released on a special occasion, like an anniversary. In India, those too are rare. Avengers: Infinity War went on to earn over Rs 220 crore, by far the best performance by a Hollywood film in India. While there are no figures, the Hindi dubbed version must have brought in a large amount of that money — if not the majority of it — judging by the huge number of Hindi speakers in the country. Infinity War brought together nearly all the superheroes previously seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films and pitted them against Thanos, a supervillain, who was being teased since 2012’s The Avengers. Just like the superheroes, fans of around half a dozen franchises inside the MCU also came to theaters, delivering the studio an incredible 2.04 billion dollars worldwide. Now, with this re-release, Disney-Marvel may have thrown a monkey wrench into the plans of films that are releasing around Infinity War Hindi’s release date – October 2. Anushka Sharma and Varun Dhawan’s Sui Dhaaga and Vishal Bhardwaj’s Pataakha are two big releases that will hit screens a couple of days before Infinity War. In case you have forgotten, Infinity War, initial release in the country had absolutely demolished the competition. Will that be the case again? INOX’s Chief Programming Officer, Rajender Singh Jyala, said in a statement, “Avengers: Infinity War has been the biggest Hollywood movie that we have seen and fans will get to see their favourite Marvel Super heroes once again in Hindi. It’s an interesting and a very unconventional approach to re-release a Hindi dubbed Hollywood film in cinemas where original English version was screened. Going by the popularity of the movie, we believe that the audiences will be more than willing to watch it again in Hindi and experience it like a new Avengers offering.” PVR Cinemas’ Senior Vice-president of Programming, Thomas D’Souza, said, “The Hindi version of Avengers: Infinity War was immensely successful when it first released in April, and we are really excited that Marvel India is re-releasing the movie again in Hindi. It’s a unique strategy to release a Hollywood film in Hindi but in recent times, we have seen audiences readily accepting and enjoying dubbed content – in theaters and on television. We are confident that our audiences would love to catch all the action all over again — this time in Hindi.”<doc-sep>Marvel India has been sharing clips to build up to the re-release of Avengers: Infinity War in Hindi. Scheduled to return to theatres on October 2, Infinity War became the biggest Hollywood release ever in India, with grosses exceeding Rs 250 crore. Two clips have been shared online by Marvel, showing two memorable sequences from the film. The first shows the Guardians of the Galaxy’s hilarious meeting with Thor. In the video, Drax the Destroyer refers to his buddy Peter Quill as a ‘banda (guy)’ as he gazes admiringly at Thor, whom he calls a ‘khoobsurat mard (beautiful man)’. Sensing the group’s fascination with Thor, Quill becomes jealous. It doesn’t help when Drax continues his colourful descriptions of Thor, and calls him a ‘gabru pehelwaan’ and ‘kissi daaku aur haseena ki aulaad’. As those who’ve seen the film would know, Thor wakes up abruptly immediately after this exchange. In the video, he turns to the Guardians and says, “Tum cartoon log kaun ho?” In the second video, we see Iron Man during the opening battle sequence in New York, when Thanos’ minions attack the city. As Iron Man gets pummelled around Central Park, Spider-Man arrives on the scene and says to his mentor, “Pai lagu gurudev.” The first video has been viewed 11 million times on YouTube, while the second one has over 50,000 views so far. Speaking about the decision to re-release the film in India, Bikram Duggal- Head of Studio Entertainment, Disney India, said in a statement to IANS, “The record breaking success of Avengers: Infinity War was historic. The response from Indian fans has been extremely overwhelming and seeing the ever-increasing following for the Hindi version we have decided to re-release just the Hindi version on demand from our English fans to enjoy the extended long weekend on October 2.” The current phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will end with May’s Avengers 4, which will serve as a ‘significant conclusion’ to the series (before new characters take it forward), by Disney chief Bob Iger.

Avengers: Infinity War will be re-released in India on October 2, Disney India has announced. Unfortunately, only the Hindi-language dub is returning to theatres, so those hoping to get a big-screen experience of the original thing – you know, in English – are out of luck. Disney India cited the “response to the Hindi version” alongside “an unprecedented record at the Indian box office” as the two reasons for Infinity War’s re-release in the country. While the studio didn’t provide any numbers to back up the former, the latter has been clear for some time: the third Avengers chapter stands as the highest-grossing Hollywood film of all-time in India. Going by the latest available box office figures via Box Office Mojo, Infinity War grossed $43.59 million in India, which is about Rs. 294.26 crores. It’s the only Hollywood movie to enter the Rs. 200-crore club in the country. And with the upcoming release, there’s now a chance that the film might cross the Rs. 300-crore mark. Globally, Infinity War ended its theatrical run at $2.046 billion, as the fourth highest-grossing film of all-time behind Avatar ($2.788 billion), Titanic ($2.187 billion), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.068 billion). Of course, these figures don’t account for inflation. Avengers: Infinity War’s Hindi re-release date in India – October 2 – isn’t a Friday, because it’s been chosen out of being a national holiday due to the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
