The San Francisco-based audio and imaging tech company has equipped the theatre to showcase both 2D and 3D films, featuring its advanced Dolby Vision dual 4K laser projection system and Dolby Atmos sound technology for an immersive cinematic experience.

Dolby Cinema is known for combining high dynamic range (HDR) visuals with spatial audio to create a premium large-format theatre experience. The Pune auditorium includes a wall-to-wall-to-ceiling curved screen, enhanced acoustic treatment, recliner seating, and minimal ambient light for optimal viewing. The venue opens to the public on Friday with Jurassic World Rebirth as its first screening, and ticket booking is available through BookMyShow. Dolby has also promised exclusive offers and early previews for audiences.

Michael Archer, Dolby’s VP of Worldwide Cinema Sales, called the Pune launch a milestone in the company’s India roadmap. He emphasized the attention to detail in the theatre’s design, aiming to deliver a world-class moviegoing experience. While over 1,000 screens in India already support Dolby Atmos, this is the first to feature Dolby Vision, marking a significant upgrade in visual quality.
