Your favourite Panda is back for some action after 8 years! Let’s know everything we know about the release of Kung Fu Panda 4.
Kung Fu Panda 4 Release Date in India
Indian fans have to wait a little longer to watch the 4th instalment of this beloved franchise.
Kung Fu Panda 4 is scheduled to release in India on 15 March 2024. You can watch it in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages.
Check out the official Hindi Trailer here:
As we notice, the official premiere date in the USA is one week before, on 8 March. There is no definite reason given for this delay, but this is not just happening in India but in many other countries.
We guess that they want to get it released in the latter half of March because exam season will be over by that time in India. As we know, Kung Fu Panda 4 is going to sell a lot of tickets to kids/families, and the studio wants to capitalize on that.
Also, they might want to get it far from the Dune 2 release, which is already a big blockbuster and competition for them to get more screens.
Either way, this is a sure thing that Kung Fu Panda has a great track record with 3 amazing movies. The critics are also praising the 4th part and calling it the same good action and comedy as the previous ones.
3D and IMAX Update
Kung Fu Panda 4 is confirmed to be available in 3D format and 4DX. In 4DX, the audience also gets wind, rain, and scent effects, along with motion seats.

3D is still a very popular way to watch a movie for kids. So, this will help in bringing in more families to the theatres.
As of IMAX, Kung Fu Panda 4 might not be shown on their screens. This is because Dune 2 is locked in for all IMAX shows for the month. Many moviegoers want to watch Dune Part Two in IMAX, creating the same hype as Oppenheimer had last year.
However, if this 4th part is very successful, maybe IMAX will give it some shows later. The same happened with Barbie, which didn’t get an IMAX screen because of Oppenheimer, but the record-breaking box office put it in IMAX after a month.
When will Kung Fu Panda 4 Stream?
This film is produced by Dreamworks and distributed by Universal Pictures. That means it will debut on Peacock in the USA. But this is not the same for all places.
Kung Fu Panda 4 is streaming on JioCinema in India from 15 July 2024. The best part is that it is available in 7 languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali and Marathi.
You just have to buy a JioCinema Premium subscription for just ₹29 per month with no Ads to watch all the Hollywood movies on their platform.
About the Movie
Po, voiced by Jack Black, will return for the titular role, with Master Shifu, Po’s biological and adoptive fathers Li Shan and Mr Ping. We will see a new villain, voiced by Viola Davis, who will bring back many old foes like Tai Lung.
Other new members are Awkwafina and Ke Huy Quan.
Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger are the main writers, who worked on the last 3 parts. And don’t forget Hans Zimmer is there to compose the score.
Finally, here is the official synopsis for you to read (via universalpictures.com): “After three death-defying adventures defeating world-class villains with his unmatched courage and mad martial arts skills, Po, the Dragon Warrior, is called upon by destiny. More specifically, he’s tapped to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. That poses a couple of obvious problems. First, Po knows as much about spiritual leadership as he does about the paleo diet, and second, he needs to quickly find and train a new Dragon Warrior before he can assume his new lofty position. Even worse, there’s been a recent sighting of a wicked, powerful sorceress, Chameleon, a tiny lizard who can shapeshift into any creature, large or small. And Chameleon has her greedy, beady little eyes on Po’s Staff of Wisdom, which would give her the power to re-summon all the master villains whom Po has vanquished to the spirit realm.”
