Ticket prices for some major films, such as Kalki, Salaar, Game Changer, and Pushpa 2, have been increased, likely due to the high budgets of these productions and lot of VFX involved. The government allows such price hikes to help big-budget movies recover their costs.
However, there’s confusion about why ticket prices were raised for smaller films like Mad Square and Robinhood, which didn’t have the same large budgets.It seems that the ticket prices for these movies were given based on the relation. The makers approaching for ticket hikes with every film and the government is permitting them.
This is just to capitalize on the buzz surrounding them. The debate over the ticket price increase isn’t about whether the hike was 50 or 75 rupees, but rather the justification behind the rise. Everyone knows that Mad Square is a small film, and Robinhood was made with a modest budget. The film’s budget was kept in check to avoid unnecessary costs, and it didn’t involve expensive special effects or graphics.
Despite these factors, ticket prices were still increased in Andhra Pradesh, raising questions about the rationale behind such decisions.This demonstrates that maintaining good relationships with government officials can significantly influence ticket pricing, even for smaller movies.
