Watching a movie in the cinema hall offers a different experience altogether. However, in a few states, the cost of a ticket has only become expensive with time. Elaborating on the same, Twitter user Radhika Santhanam shared how movie ticket prices in Mumbai are ridiculous. Narrating her own experience, she said that as a Chennai girl, “I’m so used to paying Rs. 150-200 for a ticket, the thought of paying Rs. 600-1500 for an evening show horrifies me.” She further said, “Add popcorn and drinks to the cost and watching a movie is truly an expensive affair these days.”

“I hear you. I don’t end up paying so much for movie tickets in Bombay because I usually watch them in single screen cinemas or compare prices across places and look for the cheapest shows. Tickets at Movietime cost me less than Inox and PVR,” wrote a Twitter user. Another person wrote, “Its the real estate cost packed into the ticket. I’m sure there are older theatres (typically single screen) charging far less than the newer mall multi-screens. This is certainly true in Pune, and perhaps Mumbai as well.”
One Twitter user wrote, “Idk this might be an unpopular opinion but watching a movie on your laptop/tab in the comfort of your comfy bed & wrapped blanket with your fav food is way better.”

Hahaha…if you are an avid movie goer from Chennai and Hyderabad. You just can't live in Mumbai and Bangalore https://t.co/ULtE5fCds0— Pradeep (@pradeepNvishnu) January 29, 2023
Same in Delhi. This is one of the reasons theatres are empty. Cost of Amazon Prime for the whole year is less than one movie outing for one person. Pathan’s success is an exception. Bollywood needs to do something about PVR monopoly and loot. https://t.co/1i1X0BxWuH— Shivam Vij (@DilliDurAst) January 29, 2023
Same case in the airport. You will be fleeced around 300 to 400 rupees for a cup of coffee — Dev Anand Paul (@devanandpaul70) January 28, 2023
