IS MOVIE WATCHING GOING TO BE COSTLY IN TAMIL NADU?

The Tamil Nadu Film Exhibitors Association had some time back sought for an increase in ticket price in theatres; the range was about a 150 to 200% higher than the existing one. However, this was rejected by a Government Order on the ground that the demand was very high.

But the First Bench of Chief Justice S.K. Kaul and Justice R. Mahadevan of Madras High Court set aside this Government Order on Monday (24th October). They have directed the government to reconsider the Exhibitors’ request within a month after considering the issue afresh based on the parameters outlined by the association.

We would soon know the government’s decision about the ticket pricing. As of now the ticket pricing, when we consider multiplexes, is comparatively cheaper in Tamil Nadu than other metros.
