Dolby Laboratories is launching its high-end cinema experience, Dolby Cinema, in six large Indian cities in 2025, which will be a huge upgrade for cinema-goers. This will change the way we watch films, courtesy of Dolby’s advanced audio and visual technologies.Dolby Cinema is not merely about watching films; it’s about being in them. It does so by seamlessly combining two major innovations: Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.Dolby Vision: Seeing is BelievingImagine seeing a movie with more vivid colors, sharper contrast, and more dynamic brightness. That’s the magic of Dolby Vision.
This technology transcends ordinary picture quality, producing a more realistic and vibrant picture that remains faithful to the director’s creative vision. It brings every scene to life, from inky blacks to the brightest whites, making the pictures truly engrossing.Dolby Atmos: Sound That MovesDolby Atmos transforms the way we hear. Rather than sound being immobilized by speakers, Atmos places the sounds in a three-dimensional soundscape. Sounds move in, over, and around you, placing you at the center of what’s happening. No matter whether it is the roar of a crowd, the whispering of the breeze, or the boom of an explosion, Dolby Atmos creates an absolutely realistic and immersive experience for the ear.Dolby Cinema comes to IndiaTo share this amazing experience with Indian cinemagoers, Dolby Laboratories has formed partnerships with key cinema exhibitors throughout the nation.
These partnerships will witness Dolby Cinema opening in:Pune: City PrideHyderabad: Allu CineplexTrichy: LA CinemaBengaluru: AMB CinemasKochi: EVM CinemasUlikkal: G CineplexThis strategic launch means that film enthusiasts across various regions of India can soon experience the unmatched audio-visual quality of Dolby Cinema.A Commitment to QualityDolby’s commitment to the improvement of the cinematic experience in India extends beyond the opening of Dolby Cinema theatres. Earlier this year, Dolby opened its first Dolby-certified post-production cinema facility in Hyderabad. This facility is vital to enabling the production of high-quality content capable of taking full advantage of the Dolby Cinema format.Additionally, India already has 24 Dolby Atmos theatrical mixing studios. This strong infrastructure reiterates the nation’s increasing ability to create and provide world-class cinematic experiences, to the highest international standards.The Dolby Cinema ExperienceDolby Cinema is built to make every seat in the house the “best seat.” This is done through a blend of state-of-the-art technology and considerate theatre design. The intention is to present to viewers an experience that comes as close as possible to the intent of the filmmakers, enabling them to engage in and lose themselves within the story.
Michael Archer, Dolby Laboratories’ VP of Worldwide Cinema Sales and Partner Management, underscores that the launch of Dolby Cinema in India represents an important milestone for the country’s entertainment market. It is a leap ahead in offering a genuinely premium and engaging cinema experience.Dolby’s Expansion GloballyThe initial Dolby Cinema was inaugurated in 2014. Ever since then, Dolby has been incrementally expanding, tying up with 35 partners in 14 countries, including India. Such worldwide expansion signifies Dolby’s commitment to enhancing the frontiers of cinema technology and making it accessible to consumers across the world.Dolby Beyond CinemasDolby’s advancements do not stop at cinemas. During the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier this year, Dolby demonstrated Dolby Vision technology for automobiles. This reflects the company’s attempt to leverage its audio and visual enhancement capabilities into other markets, possibly revolutionizing in-car entertainment and information systems.
Fundamentally, Dolby’s ongoing growth and innovation, with the imminent opening of Dolby Cinema in India, reflects its dedication to delivering the best possible audio-visual experiences, be it in a cinema or elsewhere.
