4D films

 
4-D films are basically 3-D films with physical effects in the theatre. Because the physical effects can be expensive to install, 4-D films are usually presented only at special venues such as theme parks and amusement parks. However, in Mexico, Nepal, South Korea and India, some movie theatres have 4d effects. Some of the special effects in 4-D films include rain, wind, strobe lights, vibration,scent etc.

.Special Effects include chair vibration and other effects such as wind blowing, water sprinkling, leg and back ticklers,smoke, rain, lightning, air bubbles and special smells.
