Cheap Tickets, Strong Demand
Low prices haven’t meant low interest. Telangana has already sold over 57,000 tickets for the opening day, the third-highest in the country after Karnataka and Maharashtra.
The state also has an occupancy of 28.2%, the highest among all the major markets. That shows Telugu States audiences are turning up in good numbers for Ramayana.
Why Prices Are Lower
Ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are regulated by the state governments, and price hikes are given only for select big films. Ramayana is currently selling at these regular rates in the Telugu states, which keeps the average much lower than in markets like Delhi and Maharashtra, where multiplexes set their own prices.
