MUMBAI: Cinépolis has launched the fourth edition of 3D Film Festival, 3rd Dimension.
Cinépolis has been hosting the film festival annually since 2012. The three-week long festival will run across all its movie theaters from 28 August to 17 September, 2015.
The film festival will exhibit 1,470 shows of recent 3D blockbusters. Cinépolis has collaborated with global visual technology company RealD Inc. to provide 3D technology for the film festival.

Cinépolis has also collaborated with Northstar as media partner and Spiritual Yatra.com as associate partner for the festival.
Cinépolis India head – strategic initiatives Devang Sampat said, “The second innings of 3D cinema has begun in India. The success of Avatar by James Cameron opened the floodgates of 3D films in Hollywood and Haunted by Vikram Bhatt managed to spark greater interest amongst the Indian filmmakers for this genre. With 3rd Dimension, we wish to usher in an era of an even more enhanced 3D experience in India and introduce the cinema lovers in the country to a more superior way to enjoy 3D films in the future.”
“RealD is proud to support 3rd Dimension, a showcase of extraordinary movie-making as well as movie experiences. We look forward to this wondering event in bright, realistic and immersive RealD 3D,” added RealD VP and general manager Asia Pacific Edman Chan.
The film festival will screen blockbusters such as Fast and Furious 7, The Hobbit, Big Hero 6, Guardians of the Galaxy, Gravity and Avengers: The Age of Ultron for its patrons to re-experience the rush with its superlative 3D features and help them recognise a genuine 3D experience.

MUMBAI: Zee5 is serving up another killer collaboration and this time, the murder mystery comes with a generous side of dark humour and family dysfunction. The streaming platform has partnered with Applause Entertainment and Mithya Talkies to bring Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa, a fresh, twisted whodunnit written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker and actor Rajat Kapoor. The film will stream exclusively on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
The movie reimagines the classic murder mystery genre with a contemporary, darkly comic edge. It revolves around a group of friends and family who smile, drink, and celebrate together until the silence snaps and long-buried secrets spill out. The stellar ensemble cast includes Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Waluscha De Sousa, Saurabh Shukla, Chandrachoor Rai, Neil Bhoopalam, Koel Purie, Palomi Ghosh, and Rajat Kapoor himself.
This latest offering continues the successful partnership between Zee5 and Applause Entertainment, which has previously delivered diverse hits such as Mithya, Bloody Brothers, and Jab Khuli Kitaab.
&TV Business Head of hindi Zee5 and chief channel officer Kaveri Das said, “Our collaboration with Applause Entertainment has consistently delivered distinct, high-impact storytelling. Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa is a natural progression, reinforcing our focus on genre-led content with a compelling whodunnit premise and a strong ensemble cast.”
Applause Entertainment business head for movies Sunil Chainani added, “This film adds yet another compelling layer to our slate with Rajat Kapoor’s unmistakable voice.”
Rajat Kapoor shared, “What interested me was not just the mechanics of a whodunnit, but the emotional violence that precedes physical violence. These are people who smile at each other, but there’s so much that is not said.”
The film promises razor-sharp writing, layered performances, and simmering tension, inviting viewers not just to solve the crime but to unravel the complex relationships at its heart.
If you love a good murder mystery served with wit and emotional depth, Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa looks set to be your next addictive watch. Mark your calendars, the whodunnit drops on Hindi Zee5 from 10 April.
