Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s Thandel is just two days away from its theatrical release. The film has received a ticket hike of 75 Rs in Multiplexes and 50 Rs for single screens in Andhra Pradesh. With this the ticket rates in Multiplexes will be 250 and Single screens will be 200. Thandel’s Ticket Hikes in AP are receiving criticism.
The Official G.O. was released recently and it’s receiving backlash on social media. The audiences felt that the ticket hike is not needed for medium budget films like this and especially it is unnecessary during the non-festival period. Even Akkineni fans are worried about how ticket hikes impact the film’s openings. Thandel’s Ticket Hikes in AP are receiving criticism.
Definitely if movie opens with positive word of mouth, then there will be not much impact and numbers will be huge. But if the movie opens with mixed or below par response and reviews, then these hikes will play very big role in deciding the film’s collections.
The movie’s bookings in Telangana were opened a few days back as the makers of Thandel did not apply for the ticket hikes. So, the film will have the existing rates in TG, with 175 in Single Screen and 295 in Multiplex Screens. In Andhra Pradesh the bookings have opened now after the film received the G.O.
