The globally successful anime film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle is returning to theatres in India on March 6, 2026, giving fans another chance to experience the record-breaking anime spectacle on the big screen.
The re-release was announced by Crunchyroll, which is distributing the film in partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment. This time, the movie will also be available in SCREENX, a premium cinema format that offers an immersive 270-degree panoramic viewing experience.
The film will be screened in Japanese with English subtitles, allowing fans to watch the original version exactly as intended.
One of the biggest highlights of the film’s return is the SCREENX release, the world’s first multi-projection cinema technology. SCREENX expands the movie beyond the main screen by projecting visuals onto the side walls of the theater, creating a 270-degree field of view.
For an action-heavy anime like Infinity Castle, known for its dramatic battles and dynamic animation, this format promises a significantly more immersive theatrical experience.
Infinity Castle serves as the first installment of a three-part cinematic trilogy that adapts the final arc of the hugely popular Demon Slayer story.
The franchise is based on the manga created by Koyoharu Gotoge, originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump between 2016 and 2020. The manga concluded with 23 volumes and has sold over 200 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time.
The anime adaptation, produced by ufotable and directed by Haruo Sotozaki, has played a major role in turning Demon Slayer into a global phenomenon.
