In an exclusive announcement making waves in the Telugu film industry, Allu Cinemas in Kokapet, Hyderabad is set to equip all four of its screens with the latest laser projectors and premium audio systems. Screen 1 will house a Dolby Cinema setup with Dual 4K projection and a 64-channel sound system, while Screens 2, 3, and 4 will each feature 4K Barco flagship laser projectors paired with QSC Dolby Atmos speakers — a configuration that puts Allu Cinemas among the most technically advanced multiplexes in India.
What Is Being Upgraded at Allu Cinemas Kokapet?
The exclusive update confirms that all four screens at Allu Cinemas Kokapet are being outfitted with laser projection technology and immersive audio systems, moving the multiplex away from conventional lamp-based projection entirely. Laser projectors deliver significantly higher brightness, deeper blacks, wider colour gamut, and a much longer operational lifespan than traditional systems — making them the current industry standard for premium cinema formats worldwide.
The audio side of the upgrade is equally significant. QSC is one of the most respected names in professional cinema audio, and their Dolby Atmos-certified speaker systems are used in premium auditoriums globally. The combination of Barco laser visuals and QSC Atmos audio on three of the four screens places those auditoriums in the same technical league as the best multiplex screens in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru.
| Screen | Projection System | Audio System |
|---|---|---|
| Screen 1 | Dolby Cinema Dual 4K | 64-Channel Dolby Atmos Sound |
| Screen 2 | 4K Barco Flagship Laser | QSC Dolby Atmos |
| Screen 3 | 4K Barco Flagship Laser | QSC Dolby Atmos |
| Screen 4 | 4K Barco Flagship Laser | QSC Dolby Atmos |
What Makes Screen 1’s Dolby Cinema Setup Special?
Screen 1 at Allu Cinemas Kokapet is not just a premium screen — it is a full Dolby Cinema installation, a certification that covers both the projection and audio systems as a unified experience. Dolby Cinema uses a dual 4K laser projection system to deliver images with a contrast ratio far beyond what standard screens can produce, combined with Dolby Vision HDR processing that makes highlights genuinely bright and shadow detail clearly visible even in dark scenes.
The 64-channel audio configuration on Screen 1 goes well beyond the standard Dolby Atmos object-based layout, placing it among the most channel-dense cinema sound setups in South India. According to Siasat.com, the Dolby Cinema screen at Allu Cinemas Kokapet measures 75 feet wide, making it Asia’s largest and the world’s second-largest Dolby Cinema installation — a remarkable distinction for a Hyderabad multiplex. Dolby Cinema screens of this scale are rare even globally, with most installations significantly smaller.

What Technology Do Screens 2, 3 and 4 Get?
Screens 2, 3, and 4 will each receive Barco’s flagship 4K laser projector — the same projection technology used in premium auditoriums across top multiplexes globally. Barco is the leading manufacturer of cinema projectors worldwide, and their flagship laser range delivers 4K resolution with consistent brightness levels that hold up across the full life of the lamp without the gradual dimming that affects traditional xenon projectors.
Paired with QSC Dolby Atmos speaker systems, these three screens will offer a significantly elevated audio experience over standard multiplex auditoriums. Deccan Chronicle had earlier reported that Allu Cinemas was positioning itself to offer tough competition to established premium multiplexes in Hyderabad — and the full-screen laser and Atmos rollout across all four auditoriums confirms that ambition.
When Is Allu Cinemas Kokapet Opening and What Films Will Play?
Allu Cinemas Kokapet is opening in March 2026, with Siasat.com confirming the launch is timed around the release of Dhurandhar 2 starring Ranveer Singh. The multiplex is located in Kokapet, one of Hyderabad’s fastest-growing residential and commercial corridors, and is expected to serve as a premium destination for Telugu and pan-India film releases in the region.
For moviegoers in Hyderabad, Allu Cinemas Kokapet fills a gap in the premium cinema market on the city’s western side. With all four screens now confirmed to run on 4K laser projection and Dolby Atmos audio — and one screen carrying the full Dolby Cinema certification — the multiplex is positioned as a genuine alternative to IMAX and other premium formats for audiences who want the best possible theatrical experience without travelling to central Hyderabad.
