Buzz: Despite Salman Khan’s Request To Keep Bharat’s Ticket Prices Low, Theatres Hike Fares By 20%
Even after Salman Khan’s request to keep Bharat ticket prices low, theatres have decided to hike the fare by an average of 20 per cent
Days before the
release of his next flick, Bharat, Salman Khan had decided give Eidi to his
fans by keeping the ticket prices low. It has almost become a ritual for Sallu
Bhai fans to watch his movies on Eid every year. Most of his Eid releases have
created huge records with huge collections at the box-office. So much so,
because of the star value added to it, theatres also tend to hike the prices of
the tickets during his films. And this time, the superstar had decided to keep
ticket prices low. But looks like, Bhai’s Eidi will not make its way to his
fans. Reason? Theatres.
Reportedly, theatres have decided to hike the
ticket prices by an average of 20 per cent. A report in Mid-day states, “At
odds with rumours that the minimal fare was touted to be bhai's eidi to his
followers, prices at select cinema houses seem to have been hiked by an average
20 per cent. Mahim's City Light cinema, which sold tickets of recent releases
De De Pyaar De and India's Most Wanted at R200, has set the Ali Abbas
Zafar-directed venture at a rate of R250. At Lower Parel's PVR Luxe, theatre
owners are drawing R1,800 per ticket. Prices at Juhu and Wadala theatres too
sit at an increased fare.”
