Founded in 1975 by Raamdas Dutt, Shanta Rao Dutt’s Fijian nephew, the Movieplex Emporium was a pioneer in its chosen field with its flagship Tottenham Court Road store, which was the first in Western Europe to sell the paradigm-shifting VHS players.  The Emporium quickly cemented its position as predominant market leader by offering customers seamless electronic equipment solutions during the VHS revolution in the 1970s and 80s.

Following a strategic realignment, the Movieplex Emporium recalibrated its strategic focus in 1987, the year of Shanta Rao Dutt’s death, and closed its doors.  The Movieplex company reassessed its core mission and unveiled an exciting growth strategy, positioning itself to provide global integrated solutions to international public and private partnerships and government-to-government tenders.

The Movieplex Emporium itself was demolished and replaced by a ‘Subway’ outlet .

Movieplex Global Futures LLP continues to innovate in the field of communication and moving image technology.  Now helmed by Johnny Dutt, son of Raamdas Dutt and Great Nephew of Shanta Rao Dutt, the company today continues to build on its global market leading position with a presence in its core markets of the United States, Great Britain and India.  Johnny Dutt himself remains a British resident, maintaining a home in Kensington Park Gate, London, with his daughter, Natasha Rao, award winning actress and environmentalist.

Movieplex is engaged in pioneering work in the field of international communication and space technology of a highly confidential nature for a number of government and multinational clients.

The Movieplex Company respects its high-profile clients’ wish for confidentiality and is not therefore able to disclose its current pipeline projects.  Suffice to say that, for the Movieplex Company, the sky is no longer the limit.
