Tech-savvy home entertainment rooms for an unforgettable movie experience are all the rage, writes Abhilasha Ojha

- Abhilasha Ojha

Room with a view

When Arjun Singh, 48, began restoring his five-decade-old family home in South Delhi, he set aside a dream corner: A home theatre designed to deliver a cinematic experience. Passionate about classic Hollywood cinema, Singh envisioned a dedicated space where he and his friends could relive the magic of film — surrounded by all the immersive hallmarks of a traditional movie theatre. Out came the old walls, replaced by acoustically engineered panelling, a state-of-the-art surround sound system, and a 100-inch-plus smart television. For seating, instead of opting for contemporary recliners, Singh paid tribute to nostalgia — reupholstering his late grandmother's teak wood chairs and sofas in plush new fabric.

Across India, discerning homeowners are crafting such immersive spaces tailored for cinematic indulgence. Movie nights at home are now accompanied by richly carpeted flooring, dim lighting, plush throws, bespoke art, and cutting-edge audio-visual technology.
