3 Hours of Jailer or 1 Year of Prime Video ?
Fans are already going crazy over Rajinikanth in the main role, and as the release date draws near, the anticipation is at an all-time high. With a star-studded cast, the movie will open in theatres on august 10th and is sure to be a financial success. The movie's advanced booking has only recently begun, and the prospects are not promising. Fans will undoubtedly appreciate Jailer very much, but the cost is undoubtedly causing a lot of anxiety.
Recently, numerous tweets that highlighted the expensive ticket costs in cities like Bangalore—$800 for standard seats at PVR and—$1400 for recliners—have gone viral. Even from a worldwide perspective, the USA has demonstrated a significant reaction, with 17,000+ tickets sold in 235 locations. The large budget of the film is clearly reflected in the ticket pricing. But the issue still stands: Does the buzz support the exorbitant prices?
Costly tickets have already been sold, with the southern audience having seen expensive films like RRR, Barbie, and Oppenheimer. But ₹800? Fans are asking that question. These exorbitant costs reinforce the "PVR" ticket pricing monopoly. It is really alarming that basic seats cost between 700 and 800 dollars. After the post-Covid era, however, consumers are shown a propensity to choose OTT platforms, making them the ultimate destination for any films that are released.
