Pune, India - July 3, 2025 - Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB), a global leader in immersive entertainment experiences, today marked a historic milestone with the launch of India's first Dolby Cinema at City Pride, Kharadi, Pune.
This state-of-the-art auditorium is a 310-seater Dolby Cinema, purpose-built to deliver a premium movie-going experience that combines the breathtaking visuals of Dolby Vision with the immersive sound of Dolby Atmos . Only Dolby Cinema has both the quality of the Dolby Vision dual 4K laser projection system, that maximizes brightness, clarity, and detail, together with the lifelike sound of studio grade Dolby Atmos and the inspiring Dolby Cinema design, to deliver remarkable, true-to-life experience for any seat in the house. The picture clarity and detail of both 2D and 3D movies looks so real it has to be seen to be believed.
With this launch, Pune becomes the first city in India to bring this next-level cinematic experience to audiences, starting with the release of Jurassic World Rebirth in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on 4th July. Dolby Cinema provides a truly unique and transformative experience, where you connect deeply with the story. You'll feel like you're stepping into the lives of the characters and the world filmmakers created for you. The Dolby Cinema is also designed to transform your visit into an event with the unique and inspiring design. Inside the Dolby Cinema you find dynamic lighting, premium seats with unobstructed sight lines, a room that is carefully designed to minimize distractions, and a curved wall-to-wall-to-ceiling screen. Every aspect of the design comes together to make the experience uniquely immersive, powerful, and memorable.
Michael Archer, Vice President of Worldwide Cinema Sales and Partner Management, Dolby Laboratories commented, The launch of Dolby Cinema in Pune marks a defining step in our long-term vision for India. With over 1000 Dolby Atmos screens in India, now Dolby Cinema will set a new benchmark in premium cinematic entertainment in India. We have thoughtfully designed the entire cinema down to the last detail. From reservable, spacious seating, with clear sight lines - no matter where you sit, to soft interior lighting and premium details throughout, for an unparalleled movie experience. As we continue to collaborate with leading filmmakers, studios, and exhibitors, we look forward to launching more theaters that will unlock world-class movie experiences for Indian audiences.
The Chaphalkar family's cinematic journey began in 1939 with our first cinema. From one screen to 40 today across Maharashtra, it's been an incredible evolution, said Pushkaraj Chaphalkar, Partner, City Pride Multiplexes. We're proud to expand our collaboration with Dolby from Dolby Atmos screens to the launch of India's first Dolby Cinema at Citypride Kharadi. Pune's passion for premium entertainment makes it the ideal home for this experience. This launch reflects our continued commitment to bringing cutting-edge cinema to our audiences.
Dolby Cinema unlocks the emotional impact of every movie allowing you to see the subtle details and ultravivid colours of Dolby Vision, and hear the immersive sound of Dolby Atmos in specially designed cinema environment. This unmatched combination is so lifelike - you'll forget you're at the movies. Whether youre watching a thriller, a fantasy, or a drama, Dolby Cinema makes every scene feel more real and powerful. Every detail, from the deep blacks and stunning colours of Dolby Vision to the lifelike audio flow of Dolby Atmos, comes together to transport viewers into the heart of the story.
Fuelling this experience is Dolby's strong content pipeline, with over 740 theatrical features released or confirmed to be released in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos to date globally.
With this launch, City Pride joins a prestigious global network of Dolby Cinema exhibitors. This is the first of six Dolby Cinema screens opening across India, including locations in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Trichy, Kochi, and Ulikkal.
Dolby Cinema at Citypride, Kharadi Pune is open to the public starting July 4, 2025. Tickets are available on BookMyShow, and moviegoers can look forward to exclusive offers and special previews in the coming days.
