Jai Ho! Democracy: Satirical Comedy has Never Been This Immersive

MUMBAI, April 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --



Barco, a global industry leader in digital cinema technology, announces that the
upcoming release Jai Ho! Democracy, a satirical comedy, was fully mixed in the Auro 11.1
three-layered sound technology. The eagerly-awaited comedy by director Ranjit Kapoor and
Bikramjeet Bhullar is set to premiere on 24 April in theatres across India. The release is
the latest in the growing line of movies released in Auro 11.1 by Barco and underpins the
success of the sound format in Bollywood and beyond.

Produced by Indian Production House, Jai Ho! Democracy is an offbeat production in
every aspect. The story features no real heroes or heroines, and it even hasn't got any
songs in it. Instead of relying on a mega budget and a star-studded Bollywood cast,
director Ranjit Kapoor and Bikramjeet Bhullar counted on seasoned theatre actors like his
brother Annu Kapoor and Om Puri to bring this satirical comedy to life.



Dialogues Take Centre Stage



With heated committee discussions driving the storyline to a hilarious climax, the
sound mixing proved key in the production of the movie. Bikramjeet Singh Bullar, who
teamed up with Ranjit Kapoor to produce Jai Ho! Democracy, said: "We really wanted the
dialogues to shine. That's why the Auro 3D sound format was an obvious choice. With sound
coming from all around and above them, moviegoers are drawn into the story and really feel
like they are part of the action unfolding on-screen."



The Auro 11.1 system by Barco uses a three-layered - width, depth and height - speaker
layout to create a lifelike and immersive acoustic experience in movie theatres. The 3D
sound format enables directors and producers to let sound waves come from every direction,
giving audiences a truly immersive experience.



A Fast-growing Audience



Ever since its release onto the market, movie producers and theatre owners alike have
been embracing the Auro 3D sound format. While more and more theatres across India and
beyond are being equipped with the technology, the number of movies mixed in the format
keeps on growing as well. Jai Ho! Democracy follows other well-received Bollywood
productions like Kochadaiiyaan (2014) and Chaar Sahibzaade (2014), and award-winning
Hollywood blockbusters such as American Sniper (2014) and The Hunger Games - Mockingjay
Part 1 (2014).
