Bengaluru, India - January 19, 2025 - Dolby Laboratories, Inc., Inc. (NYSE: DLB), a global leader in immersive entertainment experiences, and AMB Cinemas, one of South Indias most prestigious multiplex chains founded by Asian Group in partnership with superstar Mahesh Babu, today announced the launch of Bengalurus first Dolby Cinema at AMB Cinemas, Kapali. It marks the second Dolby Cinema in India, following the successful debut in Pune just five months ago, and represents a pivotal expansion of Dolby Cinemas presence in the Indian subcontinent.
With Dolby Cinema opening at AMB Cinemas, Kapali, it is set to transform how Bengaluru experiences movies, giving audiences the chance to see and hear stories exactly as filmmakers intended, starting with the release of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. This marks a major milestone in premium cinema experience, setting a new benchmark in visual and audio excellence while reinforcing Dolby's commitment to elevating entertainment through cutting-edge innovations. The 588-seater Dolby Cinema at the 9-screen AMB Cinemas, Kapali, located in the heart of Bengaluru, has been purpose-built from the ground up to deliver next-generation immersion for audiences who demand world-class storytelling.
A premium offering for moviegoers, Dolby Cinema unlocks the emotional impact of every movie, allowing audiences to see the subtle details and ultravivid colours of Dolby Vision and immersive sound of Dolby Atmos . With Dolby Vision, the picture comes alive with incredible brightness, deeper darks, and a lifelike sense of depth that renders colours and details in ways conventional screens cannot. Studio-quality Dolby Atmos transports guests inside the story with multidimensional sound that flows all around the audience, including overhead, enveloping viewers and making the on-screen world feel real. Dolby Cinema fully realizes the filmmaker's creative intent by placing moviegoers at the very centre of the action.
This immersive experience is elevated further by the signature Dolby Cinema design, a meticulously engineered environment featuring a wall-to-wall-to-ceiling curved screen, precise acoustic treatments, and distraction-free architecture. Every seat in the auditorium is optimized for comfort, clear sightlines, and a consistently best seat in the house experience.
With Bengaluru becoming the second city in India to welcome this global premium format, the launch strengthens AMB Cinemas' position as a leader in premium exhibition and aligns the brand with the premium global standards of cinematic excellence.
Sameer Seth, Director - Marketing, India, Dolby Laboratories, commented, We are proud to collaborate with AMB Cinemas to bring Dolby Cinema to Bengaluru - one of India's most vibrant entertainment markets. The city's audiences have a deep appreciation for high-quality storytelling, and Dolby Cinema is built precisely for people who seek the very best. With the combined power of Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and the signature Dolby Cinema design, this auditorium delivers a transformative experience that truly stands apart. This opening is a key step in our larger journey to make Dolby Cinema available to moviegoers across India.
Mr. Suneil Narang, Managing Director & Mr. Bharat Narang, Managing Director, AMB Cinemas spoke on the occasion, Bengaluru has a deep love for cinema, and introducing the city's first Dolby Cinema is a moment of pride for us. Our journey from our early beginnings to offering world-class immersive experiences today has been extraordinary.
