At present this new technology has been adopted by 40 screens and single screen-owners have been encouraged to upgrade, Pankaj Kedia, Country Manager – India Dolby Laboratories said.
Dolby Atmos has become the preferred choice for next generation sound in cinema with major studios, film makers and exhibitors embracing this technology. There is an exciting line-up of top movie titles coming up in Dolby Atmos, which is a big step forward in the evolution of movie storytelling, he said.
Kedia, who was here to introduce the latest audio technology, told presspersons that Jawahar Cinema, owned by EVM Group in Kothamangalam, has become the first cinema in Kerala to offer this new technology to cinema lovers.
