Shang-Chi Release in India Confirmed (Hindi & Tamil Dub?)

Marvel movies are coming back to India after two years. ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings‘ will be released in Indian theatres exclusively. Find out whether it will be released in Hindi and Tamil dub? When will it be released on Hotstar? 

Marvel’s Shang-Chi Release Date in India

Marvel India’s Twitter account has officially confirmed this news. Marvel’s Shang-Chi release date in India is 03 September 2021. It is the same day when it will be released in the USA and many other countries. Also, it will be exclusively released directly in theatres.


It will be the 25th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. This movie will be available in 2D, 4DX and IMAX format also but a Shang-Chi is not 3D release is happening (It later did get released in 3D format).

The movie has also got a positive reception from fans as well as critics. It is said to be a great introduction for this new superhero in the MCU.

Shang-Chi release in Hindi dubbing?

In the same tweet by Marvel India, they also announced that it will be released in 4 languages: English, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada. So YES! Shang-Chi will be released in Hindi dubbed for Indian fans. Here is the tweet:


Black Widow’s release date on Hotstar is on 03 September with Hindi dubbed audio also. Marvel movies usually get 40-50% of its India box-office collection with dubbed versions.

Shang-Chi release in Tamil dub?

It is NOT that Marvel doesn’t want to release Shang-Chi in Tamil Dub. Theatres are not allowed to open in Tamil Nadu, the biggest Tamil speaking state right now.


But there is GOOD NEWS!

Tamil Nadu government has allowed movie theatres and multiplexes to reopen from 23 August. So, expect an official Tamil dubbing update from Marvel very soon. The Tamil release date of Shang-Chi will be around 03 September as well.

Release in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu & Kerala?

Many fans are confused as to why they are not dubbing Shang-Chi in Tamil and Malayalam? This is because Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Kerala have not allowed theatres to open. Let’s check each case: 


Note: The release date of Shang-Chi in Maharashtra is 22 October 2021, as theatres will be open from that week in the state.

  • Maharashtra: As of me writing this news article, there is no update from Maharashtra to reopen theatres. But we can expect that Cinemas will open in September. Hopefully, you will get some good news very soon.
  • Tamil Nadu: I already mentioned above that movie theatres are allowed to open in Tamil Nadu from Aug 23. It usually takes 1-2 weeks to get theatres opernational for normal audiences. So, It is highly likely that Tamil Marvel Fans will enjoy Shang-Chi on the 03 September release date.
  • Kerala: There is still no update from Kerala on reopening of Multiplexes. You just have to wait for a few more days.

Release in My City?

Delhi, Karnataka, Telangana, Gujarat and almost all states except the three mentioned above have allowed theatres to resume. However, many Multiplexes are still operating at 20-25% locations only. This is due to the lack of new Hindi and local movies. 

You can check your local movie ticket booking app. If theatres are open in your locality right now, they will definitely release big Hollywood movies like Shang-Chi there. But if theatres are still closed in your city, you might have to wait for some more days.


Theatres are also currently required to operate at only 50% capacity and all the staff should be vaccinated as per government rules.

Shang-Chi Hotstar Release

Shang-Chi is not getting released on the Disney+ streaming platform on the same day as theatres like Black Widow. You can only watch it in the movie theatres. This is because Disney has an official 45-day window between Theatrical to Digital releases for its films.

Shang-Chi Hotstar release date is confirmed on Disney+ Day.

Takeaways

So now you know Marvel’s Shang-Chi release date in India. It is officially getting released in the Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages also. Watch it on the big screen if possible.
