The multiplex is special for Hyderabad and movie lovers because it houses India’s largest Dolby Cinema screen, measuring 75 feet wide.
Allu Cinemas has four screens in total. Three of them are regular premium screens with 4K laser projection and Dolby Atmos sound. These screens also have comfortable seating options, including recliners and loungers. The biggest highlight is the Dolby Cinema screen, which uses dual 4K laser projection with Dolby Vision technology and supports Dolby 3D.
The main hall seats 644 people and features a 64-channel Dolby Atmos sound system. The auditorium is designed with pitch-black interiors and stadium-style seating for a better movie experience. At present, India has only two other Dolby Cinema screens. One is in Pune with a 55-foot screen, and another is in Bengaluru with a 65-foot screen.
Following the official launch, the management plans to conduct technical test screenings between March 12 and March 18 to fine-tune the projection and sound systems, with some global titles including the racing drama F1 likely to be screened during this testing phase.
The multiplex is likely to begin its public shows on Ugadi, March 19, with premiere screenings of the film Dhurandhar 2. Many people expected the ticket prices to be very high because of the premium technology. However, the management has decided to keep the prices similar to AMB Cinemas, with tickets expected to be around Rs. 295 for normal seats and Rs. 350 for recliners.
