Hosts Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh had everyone in splits with their wit and humor.

Popularly known as the ‘Oscars of Bollywood’, this dazzling event was held at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this year. In its 7 year long-standing relationship, Videocon and IIFA have been growing from strength to strength, delivering nothing but excellence. Right from their inception, both have striven to deliver the best to a larger spectrum of audience. Both believe in constant innovation, adding variety and evolving in the field of entertainment.

We are delighted that our association with IIFA has been one of the grandest celebrations of Indian Cinema on a global platform. Both, IIFA and Videocon d2h, believe in delivering excellence in the field of entertainment.”
Videocon has always delighted its consumers with technologically advanced products. This year on the stage of Videocon d2h IIFA Weekend, Videocon launched revolutionary Liquid Luminous Technology- the technology of more natural colours. This latest technology was launched in a grand ceremony hosted by Parineeti Chopra and Ayushman Khurana. Liquid Luminous technology is enriched with high color range that soothes the eyes and gives great clarity to enhance the viewing experience.
On the unveiling of its new range, Mr. Dhoot further added, “It is our constant endeavour to bring the best in terms of technology to our consumers. With the launch of the new Luminous Technology, we have taken a step ahead in providing world class features to the viewers. The concept is unique and is in synergy with Videocon’s core values and commitment. The Technology delivers ‘Live-Like’ viewing experience.”
Liquid Luminous technology ensures Accurate Colour Reproduction with more colors than a regular LED TV, which gives an amazing picture quality. It gives consistent colour output over the years and retains the best contrast of colours while remaining soothing to the eyes. Thereby, bringing every picture to life and giving a real time viewing experience.
Videocon has always been at the forefront to promote new talent in every sphere of life. As a brand, Videocon always believes in keeping one step ahead in the technology curve to cater to young and aspirational Indians who would not settle for anything but the best.
