The producer’s council has agreed to the revision of ticket rates for the cine workers. The wages will go up, but there is a demand among the small and medium film producers that the ticket rates must also come down so that cine-goers from all sections of the society will come to the theatres.
The producers of the films that were being released this Friday are very unhappy that the audience did not come to theatres as expected.
The producers are of the opinion that the cine-goers will not come to see small films with new heroes by paying two hundred for a ticket. They opined that it should be around a hundred rupees.
This Friday people did not bother to come to the theatres for small and medium budget films as they felt that the ticket rates were high. Raju said that the producers are nowhere in deciding the ticket rates for their movies.
The theatre owners are charging very high they said. When compared to earlier times, the audience is not coming in a big way to the theatres even on Sundays.
There is no control over the ticket rates and also snack rates. Popcorn which costs a few rupees is running into hundreds of rupees these days. So it is better for the producers to go for a course correction on the ticket rates.
It is better if they fix the rates as per the budget of the movie. If the movie is good it will run and no one can stop it. Vikram is the latest example.
