For decades, the cinematic experience in India has been evolving, but nothing has quite matched what Dolby has just unveiled in Pune. With the launch of the country’s first Dolby Cinema at City Pride in Kharadi, the bar for how India experiences movies has officially been raised. This isn’t just another high end screen, it’s a transformative viewing environment that merges advanced visuals and powerful audio into one seamless, unforgettable encounter with cinema.
The newly launched theatre is powered by Dolby Vision, a dual 4K laser projection system that delivers exceptional contrast, brightness, and clarity. Unlike traditional projection, Dolby Vision renders every frame with astonishing detail and rich, vibrant color. It also supports both 2D and 3D content, making it ready for every kind of blockbuster headed to the big screen.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. What truly sets Dolby Cinema apart is its 60 speaker Dolby Atmos system. This object based sound technology fills every corner of the auditorium, allowing audiences to feel sound move around them from above, behind, and beside with pinpoint precision. Whether it’s the soft crackle of a forest floor or the thunder of an oncoming dinosaur, every element of the soundscape is delivered with cinematic intensity.
The auditorium itself features a curved wall to wall to ceiling screen, luxurious recliner seating, and careful acoustic design that ensures zero distraction and complete immersion. From ambient lighting reduction to unobstructed sight lines, every detail has been tuned for premium comfort and focus.
The first film to grace the Dolby Cinema screen in Pune is Jurassic World Rebirth, a high octane visual spectacle that is the perfect showcase for Dolby’s cutting edge technology. This launch is not a standalone event it marks the beginning of a nationwide rollout. Dolby has confirmed that five more such cinemas are in the works across India, including in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Trichy, Kochi, and Uikkal.
With over 1,000 Dolby Atmos supported screens already present in the country, this Pune theatre becomes the first to bring Dolby Vision into the mix, offering a full Dolby Cinema experience. For film lovers, this is more than just an upgrade it’s a revolution.
Michael Archer, Vice President of Worldwide Cinema Sales at Dolby, emphasized that the launch represents a milestone in Dolby’s long term vision for India. And going by the response already building around it, the future of cinema in India just got a lot more thrilling.
