"The movie and its lead characters emanate vibrancy, energy and spottiness; exactly the qualities represented by our XC90 R-Design. Hence the ideal integration of our brand and the movie," says Paul De Voijs.

"Artistic integrity is crucial for successful brand placements and the utility of the product has to be woven properly into the script. The placement should be a natural fit," Paul de Voijs further adds.

The film is about the journey two friends undertake in their search for a third compatriot, played by Aamir Khan. The backdrop of the movie is along the length and breadth of India, covering the scenic beauty of the mountainous region of Ladakh. The film has been shot along the world's highest-altitude road, at 5,590 metres or 18,340 feet above sea level. The landscape is dramatic and breathtakingly beautiful.

    jap cars will always kick ass inspite of their cheaper price theyre easier to maintain cheap spares and by the way in luxury lexus rules so get over the faux image you've created in ur mind. all jap cars give 35mpg and above go figure that, even subarus are safest cars with awd standard | Reply

    Had you not thought about the gas prices, volvos are great cars to drive, and i believe 24 mpg is decent given the engine size | Reply

you either go for luxury or cheap stuff. Can't expect to have both. | Reply

    come to US or better still impor from here thousands of used volvos that no one drives due to pathetic gas mileage | Reply

US will export even Japanese cars soon, cos they can't afford to fill full tank in a Hyundai or Toyota even. I have been driving Volvo for 4 years. It is the safest SUV available in the market. | Reply
