If you are an Avatar nerd, this is your chance to rewatch Avatar: The Way of Water and get ready for ‘Fire and Ash’, .

Avatar 2 Re-Release in India Confirmed

Avatar: The Way of Water is re-releasing in India on 2 October 2025. This will be a one-week limited run, which will end on 8 October.

Dive back again with the Sully family on an underwater journey! It will be available in all major languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

This limited rerun is only for 3D format; that’s the only way to experience this sequel. 

However, there were some doubts among Indian cinephiles about whether it would be presented in IMAX or not. This was because a major Indian film, Kantara: A Legend Chapter-1, was also coming out on the same day.

It has now been confirmed by PVR-INOX that Avatar 2 will be re-released in IMAX 3D. 

The film has a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, which will fit the IMAX screen so well, along with their amazing projectors and audio systems. So, if you are thinking of rewatching, this premium format should be your first choice.

Globally, the re-release is slated for 3 October 2025. 20th Century Studios India has preponed it by 1 day in India to take advantage of the 2 October (Gandhi Jayanti) holiday.

Still, expect only for 1 or 2 shows for Avatar 2. The rest of them will be taken by Kantara as it is a new release with a major anticipation among Indian moviegoers.

Will it have exclusive clips for Avatar 3?

For a fan of this franchise, reliving your favourite film on the big screen always feels great. But there will be a big surprise along with it for you.

Each screening of The Way of Water will include one of three exclusive preview clips from the upcoming Avatar: The First and Ash. This will be a delight for the cinephiles. However, note that you will only get 1 clip, not all the 3 clips. It will play after the film, like a post-credits scene.

Whether or not these clips will be included with the re-release in India is still a question. I will update this article when it gets confirmed.

More About the Movie

Let’s not forget that Avatar: The Way of Water isn’t just a pretty movie; it broke box-office records, too.  The movie earned more than $2 billion at the global box office and also became the highest-grossing hollywood film in India.

The Way of Water is the sequel to Avatar, directed by James Cameron. The cast includes Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Kate Winslet, Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver.

With Fire and Ash just around the corner, this re-release will feel like a cinematic prologue. This is a amazing strategy that was previously done before as well, when Avatar was re-released before Way of Water premiere.

Takeaways

Now you know the exact details about the Avatar 2 re-release in India. This is a clever strategy to build some buzz for the 3rd instalment. The audience can see the amazing visuals of Pandora again, making them more hyped for the future.

I am not a big fan of the sequel, so I will not be buying tickets for this one. However, I am very excited for the third part, Fire and Ash, especially after the recent trailer. It looks like a big action flick, mixed with emotions, something the original Avatar did very well.
