The film has released in six Japanese cities
After garnering appreciation in countries like South Korea, Turkey, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Barfi! hit the theatres in Japan Friday.
The UTV Motion Pictures’ entertainer is also said to be the first movie of Ranbir, legendary actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor’s grandson, to release in Japan.
“We were looking forward to the release of Barfi! here (in Japan), especially after the movie garnered accolades at the Grand Jury Award at the prestigious Okinawa Film Festival in Japan,” Amrita Pandey, vice president and head (Marketing and Distribution) – Studio, Disney India, said in a statement.
“It’s always a great feeling when our movies get appreciated even in non-traditional markets. We have in fact worked closely with the distributors to put together a trailer and art work specially to address the Japanese sensibilities and emotions,” Pandey added.
The film has released on 10 screens in six Japanese cities – Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kyoto and Fukuoka.
Directed by Anurag Basu, the film has stellar performances by Ranbir, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D ‘Cruz and music composed by Pritam.
