The producers of the upcoming film Akhanda 2 have spoken out about the recent increase in cinema ticket prices. They said the rise is fair and reasonable, especially for a big-budget film that fans are eagerly waiting to watch.
The producers explained that not all movies get special pricing, only major films like Akhanda 2 that are expected to draw huge crowds. They said that charging an extra ₹100 for such a film is normal and acceptable in today’s market. According to them, people are willing to pay higher prices for travel, events, and entertainment, so a small increase for a big film should not be seen as a problem.
They also compared the situation to bus fares during busy seasons. They pointed out that when bus ticket prices rise from ₹500 to ₹1,500 or even ₹2,000, people still travel without much complaint. So, they believe the same should apply to movie tickets, especially for films with high production value and strong demand.
The producers added that price hikes do not happen often. Only two or three films in a year get this kind of special pricing, usually those with large budgets, strong fan bases, and high expectations.
Some moviegoers, however, feel that increasing ticket prices might make it harder for ordinary people to watch big films in theatres. They worry that going to the cinema could become too expensive for families and regular audiences.
With Akhanda 2 set to release soon, it remains to be seen how the public will respond. Will people accept the higher cost for the excitement and experience of a major film, or will they feel it is too much to pay?
