Moviegoers Slam the Telangana Government. The recent G.O of ticket hikes for Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 has received a negative response from the majority of movie lovers. The Governments should have a concern about people regarding any sector. While coming to the movies, states have always been welcoming and provided what the industry has asked for them, but they should also have the same attention towards the people, and should maintain flexible prices for tickets which would work for both filmmakers and audiences.
One can understand that a massive budget film or a visual grandeur film that provides an unseen experience for the viewers in theaters need hike in the ticket prices to recover the costs. The existing prices in Telangana in Multiplexes is 295, which itself is a huge price and for big films, the government is permitting the hike of 100rs excluding GST, which feels like a big burden for audiences. Coming to Pushpa 2, one cannot deny the craze it has but, it is not made with a record budget, nor does it offer any new visual experience. It’s just a mass commercial film produced on a grand scale. However, for this film the government granted an additional 100 rs hike which takes the ticket price in single screens to 350 and more than 500 in multiplexes. Not only that, but they have also permitted Rs 1200 ticket rate for the special premiers before the film’s release date. Moviegoers slam the Telangana Government that how can it allow such massive ticket hikes and putting burden on audiences by cashing on their weakness.
The government should be the one who should control and regulate the ticket rates but it itself is permitting the G.O for more ticket hikes which is now receiving a big backlash from people. In neighboring state, the Tamil Nadu Government controls the ticket prices and shows and even in Andhra Pradesh the regular prices are not like in Telangana and the government is not allowing record prices for hikes. So, the Telangana Government should take a firm decision on this issue and the concerned minister or authorities should try to control the ticket prices.
