Movie ticket prices in Bombay are ridiculous. 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. Add popcorn and drinks to the cost and watching a movie is truly an expensive affair these days

“You can buy flight ticket almost for that to chennai! Last time got an AI flight from BOM to MAA for 2.6k,” added another user. “Radhika I used to pay Rs 3.50 to go to a movie when I was in school/college…. can you imagine my trauma??!!,” expressed a third user.

“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,” commented a fourth user. A fifth Twitter user added, “Honestly, better to invest in good quality projector and sound system at home.”
